Coders' Shed

Ok, so i'm making a site called 'Coder's Shed'. It was inspired by the scratch website. The main idea is that it would help new programmers learn new skills and give old programmers the experience of teaching newbies. Here are some screenshots.
Home page

Estimated time before release: 5-8 months
Progress

Main design & information ~ 95% complete
CSS ~ 80% complete
login system ~ 0% complete
help/question system ~ 0% complete
project display case ~ 0% complete

The basic idea is that you help others and display programs (must be open source and you need a file sharing service).
I want to know what you guys think.
edit: also if you have any ideas, share them  smile
edit2: Check out the screenshot, it's the new border for the navigation bar...
edit3: If I did make this, would anyone go on?

This is main post is not being updated anymore :p


EDIT BY SCIMONSTER: Come and join, programmers!  big_smile  codersshed.webuda.com/forums/

Here's an idea. Why not have something similar to pastebin, where you can view the source code. Also, I know that you can highlight syntax.

Re: Coders' Shed

I could probably help with some better designs. Cause, IMO, it hurts my eyes.  tongue

Great idea though!

Re: Coders' Shed

Ok, I just changed it, it now looks really awesome. It was actually good advise but the way he/she gave it made me think 'what the heck bro, i'm not just making this site for you'.
Uploading a screenshot of what I have...

Re: Coders' Shed

change the font and the header (where it says "Coder's Shed The Best Way to Learn how to Code") looks too high and just looks funny. The header should be more like this.
