I made it, I have limited knowledge as well. This year we are making it in Flash or something, not sure about the specifics. . . we hope to have it up by next week, it's looking awsome so far, but we have to finish up the main page first ad then it will be very limited. We dont have any sub-sites made yet for the new site. So keep looking back if you want to see the new site, hoepfully it will be next week. if not, enjoy the badness that is my creation LoL Good luck with the compitition, welcome to the FIRST family.
I remember when you showed me a small version of it, and I have to agree. It is awsome (and that was back in June).

Back on topic though....2 things:
1. Change the link colors. Blue + Black = yuck. Purple + Black = yuck. Use light colors on dark backgrounds, and dark colors on light backgrounds. If the background is mixed, mess around with the colors.

2. This is just my personal opinion, but frames are low level. Tables w/ or w/o CSS coding is fine to me.

ok a few things
im the webmaster for the site, and ive only been working on it for a few days, by myself, with limited HTML knowledge and little artistic talent. so i can understand that the site needs a little work. hopefully ill get some solid feedback from my team other than "it sucks" so that i can actually make it better

second, the US's free use laws allow us to use the Zelda characters, as long as we give credit for them to nintendo, and as long as we arnt using the characters to make a profit, which we arnt. so there is no problem there.

I really wouldve appreciated it, jon, if you could have A: told me you were starting this thread and B: given me the time to get the site up to standards, and C: told me what you want on the site in specific terms. I mean im not sure how this looks, but you probally just made us look like another crappy rookie team here, despite the fact that we are the only rookies with a site.

if anyone has some REAL suggestions, or helpfull websites for advanced HTML or PHP, go ahead and email me or just post them here i suppose.
I really think you should take all criticism. Don't get mad at us for saying "it sucks". The ones who said it, have given reasons for their thoughts. Website-making is like a sport (god I hope that didn't sound like I'm preaching). There will always be one who likes your style, and ones that don't. You must ask why if someone says "I don't like your playing...", or "I love your playing...".

All points said are REAL suggestions. As far as advanced HTML or PHP, you must learn the basics of HTML before even doing any scripting IMHO. Other wise you'll be doing stuff you don't know, and that may lead to bad problems.
