I love this. Really really cool site. The only crit is that the href’s have not got the ‘outline: none;’ element set. So when you click on an item the dreaded dotted lines appear around the link.
BUT, that is nitpicking. Well done on a cool design.
To echo Matts comment, you should not really declare outline: none; as it does mess with accessibiity.
However, to stop the outline running full width across the screen, a simple overflow: hidden; will improve the look by only adding the outline around the link, creating a ‘neater’ box
Hey everyone, I am the designer who did the site. Thanks so much for all the tips and praise! It is an honor to have a site in bestweb!
@rob, thanks so much for the overflow hidden tip. I will add that asap.
@jamie I dont have a pc to test it in chrome… send me some screen shots. email is on my website. Should be working awesome in everything else (sans <IE6).
@14 & 15: I know IE6 is evil. But as a webdesigner myself, I make sure my sites work/look at least decent for IE6 users.
Sure I enjoyed this site, but at least a simple PNG fix could’ve let IE6 users enjoy it too.
dont you guys know that IE6 is causing all this global warming crap. i know some third world dictators who shoot people on spot for using that browser.

Before visiting the site and just by seeing the thumbnail, I knew it was gonna be a cool site. Great job!
Sweet site! Love the part about Michael Phelps! Great work and good luck!
This site is a lot of fun. I’m a huge fan of the auto-scroll, which is evident on my own site. I like this site a lot, good work!
In response to David’s ‘nitpick’
…I know so many designers hate that outline, but it’s important for accessibility.
And I loved this site so much, I voted for the dude.

Test that puppy out in Chrome. Couple bugs.

@matthew: It was simply a z-index issue, I believe. All links under the top nav were inaccessible.
Great work!
this site is a lot of fun.
@Rob great tip. thanks.

Have you tested it in IE6? It looks aweful
Very slow downloading for this type of site, not optimize graphic.
to: Man
IE6 is evil,.. don’t you know that?
The Great Bearded Reef is just amazing!
@Man: Still using IE6, eh?
What other dumb shit have you done lately?
And by the way, awful is spelt as awful. It doesn’t work the same way as awesome.
