This is cool, great job! The site is quick and fairly easy to navigate. Something for a UI point of view doesn’t sit well with me however, but I can’t seem to pin it down. I think it has to do with the vertical alignment of the main functions of the site and the white space, but that may just be that I’m on 1024x768. Other than my vague impression that I can’t pin down 😉 It works well. Congrats, Will On 2/6/06, Michael G.

“Search our database of 5 resumes from 84 locations and 30 categories!” ??? that’s a ton of locations and categories for 5 resumes. ---

I agree - the results don’t align with my intentions 😉 I’m going to be cleaning that up in the coming days to either display only the number of resumes or to show something like this: “Search our database of 5 resumes from 2 locations and 3 categories!” Thanks for the comments. ---

That would make more sense 🙂 Also the “Search Jobs” says the same thing so whatever code you implement for the resume part would probably also work for the “Search Jobs”. Will ---

Thanks for the advice, Will. I’ve modified the front page so things make a bit more sense. Both Ruby and Rails amazes me. This was a five minute task, from code change, to subversion check in, to check out on the server. ---

Thanks a lot, Will. I appreciate the feedback, and will be working to improve the UI as time goes on. ---
