My first profile~ yay. Questions/comments/concerns?

[the human travesty]

The profile I'm using right now is my first, full-fledged profile design (Wow. I made something.) I'm just looking for a few hints, tips, ways to make it prettier, and possibly a way to make the profile box heading, a) prettier, and b) versatile so anyone could use it.

Many thanks to those who help me!

Cool. I like the header and the fact that your avatar has the parasol up in the rain, and is facing away adding to the overall dark effect

Thank you~ I was going for a more dismal, dark effect. Most profiles I see are so bright...

Okay -- thank you for your suggestion. It's too bad, though... I can't see the filtering in Firefox. Fortunately, I can check it with IE.

Just a note - most of that code for the background colour is unnecessary, and since there is a character limit on the override code, you should keep the amount of text used to a minimum. 3nodding You can get the same effect for the background with just

body { background: black; }

Oh yeah! I like it a lot as well (I tend to like the dark profiles best xp ) but another thing that would probably look nice is if you made the speech bubbles have black background and grey text to match the rest of the profile. 3nodding

.caption { background: black; color: gray; border: 2px solid gray; }
.caption2 { background: black; color: gray; border: 2px solid gray; }
.caption .message { background: none; }
.caption2 .message { background: none; }

That will change the speech bubble text and make the triangle pointing to people go away - you can replace that 'none' with url(image URL) if you upload a new image for them so they match. 3nodding

OMG! That's by far one of the best profiles I've seen today! It's absolutly beautiful!!!

The style is awesome and, for the most part, to kept the areas with text dark so that the background doesn't conflict. I love how the background of your profile area makes it look like your avatar is standing on a street. Absolutly fantastic.

I only have two criticisms.

1) The Details area has a background with white splotches. These really get in the way when trying to read the text.

2) The image in your about section has white as its dominant color. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the page.

Other than that, I give you a 10/10. This is an absolutly beautiful profile.
