AppleMad pre-beta
Just for fun I’ve built AppleMad.com an Apple focused news and reviews site. I am opening it’s doors to the public way to early. It’s not tested on a whole heap of browsers and the mark up and CSS are a bit messy (if your geeky enough to look). There is no real content to speak of (I’m on the look out for Apple loving volunteer bloggers for that) and I’m still not completely sure what place it has on the interweb but I’m sure I’ll do my best to make a go of it and give it the time it deserves - more time than I spend here anyway :)
What a truly liberating experience it is to know your target audience and build a site with pixel fonts and min/max-width.
Anyway pop in put the kettle on, have a look around and let me know what you think.

It looks nice though, I’m not 100% on the green hue and the spotlight icon is really really bright but it looks very funky indeed.

Cheers Tom, not 100% sure about all the colours myself yet, and I agree the spotlight does need toning down.
BTW I really like the big RSS button on your site, just makes me want to click. :)

Looks awesome! And since I’m an Apple zealot this one goes into my RSS subscriptions!
