How it currently looks you cant even watch the first news properly.
Lemme do a small "emulation": 720p laptops:
As you can see, the first news is like cutted in half, and you need to scroll down to read it. Along with the other news.
And this is "friendly emulation". I did not consider windows line at bot of screen, or bigass browser headers like Internet Explorer.
Now, lemme show my paint skills and attempt to display a widescreen version.
There is a limit to how much I can modify your current template with MS PAINT. But challenge accepted!
I personally think thats pretty awesome, there are ofcourse some tweaks to do like perhaps making the white boxes "Community", "highscores" appear on the side as well or smt.
You would easily see the first news, and the 2nd news would prolly be half cutted. But it will generally encourage the user to keep reading if he actually is interested to do so.
And the user will always have the first and most recent (and usually most important news) thrown at him with no effort on his behalf. (yeah, scrolling the mouse wheel is pretty damn tough!
)
What do you think?
I overall thing your graphic design is awesome, but your template design is terrible. (because its not widescreen supported or user friendly(enough).
Edit: Now when I look at it, my PAINT re-design of your template ain't half bad. Actually kinda liked that shade difference between the header and the news. (which appeared when I cutted out your menu and put it on the side).
