Canadian politics website - Need your input

[Calamity Gundam]

Hey Guys and Gals:

I have made a good number of changes to the site since you last saw it. There is still some alignment issues however.

Please feel free to post comments/suggestions!

Also, If you have a video issue with the site do me a big favor and post your computer's resolution and what browser you are viewing the site in. Screenshots happily accepted :lol:

see the new site HERE (http://www.canadianpolitics4youth.info).

Man, you've got one skinny monitor! :lol:

[EyeMaster]

Where's the french version? :P

[WiseGuy]

lol ONO my CONTRAST RATIO!!

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Christian, there is no French version.... as we all know the French suck at politics.... hahahaha

I could pretty easily run it through a freetranslation.com translation. but it would not be accurate. :/

Will change that resolution thing. In fact, Firefox has been really gay as of late. IE ftw...

I love it!! MORE SUGGESTIONS :O

It might just be my monitor as well, but you should center everything (go into Coding mode and before type <center> and after </center>)

Made a few more major alignment updates. Site should load up quite well in Firefox+IE now.

Try it out and let me know how you guys made out. Also, where did ya spot the resolution typo?

Revisit the site here (http://www.canadianpolitics4youth.info).

Not a politics guy myself.
But the site is nice.

You really want to attract the kids? Get some girlies with nice Tah-tah's in it, if they had chicks in bikini's at every voting station I'm sure the results would.......... rise.....har har....

Nice job Adam!

Others have commented on the tech aspects of the site so let me offer my thoughts on the content.

I think your splash page should state clearly that you are not supporting one party, cuse it took me a bit to see that. Perhaps some kinda disclamer? Something like, "We are supporting your right to make an informed vote, not a particluar party or viewpoint"??

How about a graphic for the gov. levels to quickly see how they affect us?

Something I would love to see is (realated to gov. but not voting so just a suggestion) is how Canadian laws are made. Im afraid I know more about the US than Canada (and thats only because of SchoolHouse Rock, "im just a bill, only a bill, sitting here on capital hill" lol) (http://libertycoalition.net/news/i-am-just-a-bill)

Perhaps beef up the 'how to vote' with stuff like, 'say yes on your taxes to be automaticly included' put in a standard voting night short story to describe what people will find when they go to their station?

Include the 'nicnames' of the parties in your description of them. I know a recent immigrant who was asking me who the 'torries' were as he could find no official party, news like the CBC sometimes ONLY refer to them this way. (be a hoot if you included where the old names came from too?).

Well once again I have re-modded the site. I am sure most of you will be pleasantly surprized. Also, most of the suggestions have been incorporated as well. Check it out guys, and let me know what you think! I <3 the input!!!!

Another big update. The site is now more uniform, updated every page. All the alignment issues should be fixed.

Hey its really starting to look great Adam! i quickly went through it and u had some awesome content on there (links, images, youtube vids) good stuff! I may suggest that you change the default link color from Blue to something else that fits the theme better though.
