   Hello - http://moderngeeks.co.uk/ !

   Just recently setup a new WordPress-based website!

   Modern Geeks, is for just that; geeks. But by geeks I do mean it very light-heartedly, so try not to be offended – okay!?

   If your interested in the latest computer hardware; processors, graphics card, memory, hard drives, sound cards, etc — or the newest technology; little gadgets and gizmos, mobile phones – maybe the iPhone in particular? Although I like to call it the iBrick, hate the bastard thing. :D Or the latest gaming news for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or the PC then this is a brand spankin’ new little news source for you! Hopefully the best impulse idea I’ve ever actually gone ahead and made..!

   Here is the link;

   Any input is appreciated!

   Kind Regards,
   Josh

   Looks really good,it's certainly dark though. I think you'll find that you're going to have some users who say it's hard to read, users that don't have their monitors adjusted properly or just crappy monitors in general. I used to have a similar theme and that's what I heard. I think all you really need to do is change the content color, the color of the text in your entries - maybe even to just white. I wouldn't put the 'sociable' plugin on your pages, just your posts - seems silly that someone would want to digg your contact form, just my opinion, sorry. :)
   Just minor things, seriously, it looks really good. Good Luck with the blog, being a geek myself I'll certainly keep checking it out!

   Grey on black just doesn't work, sorry to say. Theme is great and site too, all you have to do is change it to white on black like Tharlan75 said.

   Otherwise a good job weldone.

   it's a good effort in my opinion, though I do think it needs a little bit of brightness added to it!

   Keep up the good work!

   Hey guys,

   Thanks for the feedback! I've taken it onboard and Tharlan - the Sociable thing and having it placed on each individual pages - no idea why that was on! But I have removed it now, thanks for noticing.

   As for the dark text on a dark background, I have also gone with that and changed it to a light white grey (if that makes sense, just have a look!).. xD

   I think it works a lot better now, any further feedback would be appreciated!

   Josh.

   Just a lil update, just completed the forums! Lack of a non-standard skin as obviously IPB 3 is new out so there are no skins at the moment..

    Built this up by myself.. Was supposed to with a friend but he ended up doing absolutely nothing.. "I've been busy.." so ended up doing everything by myself, so yeah.. ;/

    Just got some logo concepts designed as well, will be up soon - then I'll be re-designing the website, then re-designing the forums based off of the new website hopefully!

    :)
