Tempus64 posted a message on Minecraft Website Needed!If you're truly serious about your site, do what thelicoriceman said and use something like xenforo.. In the long run you'll end up spending more on getting something developed from scratch as you add more features.Posted in: Discussion - To post a comment, please login.

I did not actually create the font, I used one of the many Minecraft fonts floating around the internet. I actually noticed that too, but decided since I don't know how to edit fonts, I will leave it.

Here's the HTML/CSS breakdown:
Your website will never be xHTML compatible as long as you're using HTML5 and CSS3 elements. (Maybe just make it HTML5?)The isn't actually doing anything, you could probably take that out. It could serve useful though when making a responsive theme though.The Comments are not necessary (especially comments that big)Your Logo image does not link anywhere, it should link to the homepage. Add a Title attribute to the logo (optional, but recommended)It is redundant to have the <nav> element inside the if it's not going to be used. If you want a more xHTML valid template, remove the <nav> tagThe link element needs to be inside each list item, not outside.That will probably break your Menu CSS. The list items need to float left and the list links (now inside the list items) need to display block and move everything in menu li:hover to menu li a:hover. After some more tweaking, you will notice the menu is on the left side, that is an issue many people have with menus and there is no clean way to fix it. The only fix is to wrap your menu in a smaller container the width of your menu and center it (margin:0 auto).the should be before the as floating elements always need to be placed first. #content does not need to be floated, but will probably need a right margin larger than the sidebar. (It may also improve compatibility with IE6)The buttons should be a links styled to look like that, not paragraphs with JavaScript.The iframe for the server status will have a white background in some browsers, perhaps edit server_status.php to render the gray background.The Latest News items should be inside list items.
As I mentioned in 1, you can't have xHTML anything with HTML5 and CSS3 being used. The element restructuring is easier for search engines to read, allows greater flexibility in styling (in most cases), and is more accessible.The SEO/Speed Breakdown:
Your top logo should have alt text of "PlayerCraft Logo"You need a description and keywords (Use the xHTML way of the meta description and keywords)There is no H1 tag, which is usually reserved for the site titleOptimize your images, they can all be reduced by at least 40% in size.
Overall, I like the design of the template, you had some great ideas inside it. Keep up the work1

header
content
</section>). Sections are great for widgetizing areas though, but I don't prefer to use them (personal thing).title
</hgroup> doesn't work, there needs at least 2 header tags for it to be correct, just take it out.Oh, and here's a little snippet of redesigned code.
