Comments and critique for first website.

Hello everyone,

I have been going through some of the tutorials here at Treehouse and I made a website for Rochester, Ny. Based on the website CSS basics I wanted to get some comments and critiques of the website.

Thank you,

Bobby

Looks decent. For some reason, if I scroll down from the top, there's a large whitespace before I hit the Barnes and Noble photo. Also, I'd consider finding a way to left-align or justify the text in the shorter blocks; the centering looks odd to me. Looks cool, though. I like how your photos are all consistent sizes.

Hey man, personally I think you should have more padding around the text, create bigger line-height for text and pictures should be slightly smaller. Banner is way too big too. For colours, you can always use some sort of colour scheme generator. Also add something like google fonts, in top of the html <head> and reference it as font in your css. :)

@Ernests, Thank you for the critique. Are there any color scheme generators you would suggest?

@Stephanie, Thank you for the critique. I don't know why but for some reason Workspaces isn't allowing me to show the image that's supposed to be at the top of the page. I tried to update the background image URL in my css from what I had locally on my PC to Workspaces. I may have to change it back to being just a normal img tag in my html.

Also thank you, I tried to name things in such way so I can have all the images be uniform to one another.

Has anyone experienced this issue with Workspaces where it won't show the background-image from CSS? I can't figure out why it's doing that.
