Was v1 blue?
I like the site, though I'm not sure on the Serif font you've used in your header for the smaller text - the sloping background makes it fairly difficult to read.
What is a nibble?
What is a snack?
Perhaps these things need explaining to the uninitiated user who has stumbled upon your site by chance? Otherwise, :thumbsup:

That's what the "About" Section is for, but I suppose I could have a little explaination on the index page.What is a nibble?

v1 was red, blue and green. And I will be changing that small text shortly, I've had a few other complaints about it
Thanks for your comments!

Code:
In the frequently asked questions-section - the code - the reason you have something named paragraph with tag <p> is because you shouldn't have to write
"please let us know; we have them available.<br /><br />"
for example.
Have a look at that code - it really feel like you move the bloat from tables to xhtml - in which case there is reallt not much of a point doing it in XHTML... How aboutCode:<div class="thinHR"></div><div class="snackBox"><div class="SilverCookieAward" title="Silver Cookie Award"></div> <div class="snackInfoBox"> <div class="snackName"><a href="click.php?url=http://www.digitalscience.za.org&id=782" title="Visit Digital Science" target="_blank">Digital Science</a></div> <div class="snackURL" title="http://www.digitalscience.za.org">http://www.digitalscience.za.org</div> <div class="snackStats"><b>43</b> Nibbles and <b>0</b> <a href="index.php?p=snack_info&id=782" title="Read and Leave Comments about Digital Science">Comments</a></div></div></div>
That's all the markup you need. The rest is taken care of by selectors, making it easier to change with time. Also, now the markup truly reflects what is written - divs are block level elements and are not intended to be used as headings or paragraphs.Code:<div class="hr"></div> <div class="img"><img src="goldcookie.jpg" alt="" /></div> <div class="entry"> <h3><a title="visit Site Name" href="site name">Site name</a></h3> <p><span>http://www.google.se</span><br /> <b>61</b> Nibbles and <b>1</b> <a href="comment.html" title="">comment</a> </p> </div><!-- end entry -->
Reply if you want help with how you write the css code to fit my markup - I'm sure you can figure it out yourself otherwhise.
About the site entries: I by far preferred when you had small cropped thumbnails of all the sites - it made it more interesting to view the list of sites.
About the design: It's beautiful, classy and modern, but to be honest I feel that the layout is very much inspired by other new sites: the redesign of A List Apart, Treehouse, Design-in-flight - so much that it loses any personality it otherwhise could have gained. The current paradigm is towards clean sites like that, but I think you really have to go against the current when you have the possibility, at least if you're a designer... Perhaps you could do something more innovative with the menu? (just a suggestion)
Otherwhise; the design is ok, but perhaps lack that special thing - originality...
It's interesting that you have indeed indexed my site, and that I now give you comments about your own. Gives the word communications a new meaning
I'm launching a new and redesigned version of my website when my school workload lifts a bit - be sure to check it out then and add it
Cheers
