Hi Antonio,

Mozilla 1.7b+ (nightly build), 1600x1200 (browser at ~950x950), Win2k 
Pro

The first thing that I noticed in Mozilla was that there is 
horizontal scrolling, meaning that you have to scroll the window to 
be able to read all the text.  The "ink & tripod" logo extends off 
the edge of the window... and no wonder!  You've set the width of the 
page to 1000px!  You're going to alienate an awful lot of visitors 
with this, since many people are still running 800x600 or 1024x768 
screen resolutions, and/or may not not have the browser maximised.  
Not only this, but having the table that big makes each line of text 
on the front page overly long, and, IMO, difficult to read.

I also think that the grey colour for the links is a bit light 
compared to the background, making it slightly hard on the eye.  You 
might want to think about darkening that colour a bit.

Other than that, the design is quite nice :o).

HTH,
Raj.
