The judges all use Lynx

Looks good LordFrz, just be sure to fix the broken link to American Health on the sponsors page. (It adds a %20 on the URL that shouldn't be there)

(Man, I hope I haven't posted in here already...)

It's powered by WordPress, Simple Machines Forums, and a bit of homespun PHP, and it looks nice. Ours isn't exactly as professional-looking as some of the other sites on here, but we've only been working on it for a few weeks now, with only two novice web programmers, and after completely scrapping our old server and starting fresh. I think it looks quite good so far, if a bit unfinished. Check it out.

We won the best website award last year at the WI regional. Our webmasters are in the process of updating our site for the current season.

I remember you guys... You had a great run in Milwaukee. Looking forward to this year's competition?

964 is failing pretty awful right now. But it's better than throwing something together at the last minute like last season. Most of my problems are backend-related, but finding the right CMS was probably the worst culprit. I'm hoping it'll at least be acceptable by January. Anyway, I'll post later when it's all "purtied" up.

I can't seem to find the site. It it still there, or is it just my school's blocker intervening?

i always thought about getting a shoutbox but I never thought about how it would work or be used necessarily.

otherwise i think the Lakeview Legends website is great. It just looks a bit empty.

check mine out. http://www.gwestrobotics.com/
& http://www.ladypirates2681.com/ <-- this one is a bit empty too

Love the image links, with the fragments of the FIRST logo and the mouseover team pictures... Great site!

Thanks! The shoutbox isn't really that difficult; you guys have PHP installed, right? Just Google "PHP Shoutbox", read up on it, make a page, and embed the page in an iframe in your sidebar. Just take a look at our box's code. It's not stealing; it's code borrowing!

[jeremiah.pegues]

good advice. and you're definately right about the code borrowing. as long as you give the right people the right props and what-not then it should be good

i did the shoutbox; i dont know how great it looks, but it lookse fine for my first one i guess. theres always room for improvement..

Umm... I would like greatly appreciate any help that people can give me. I am self taught on my limited coding knowledge (HTML and minor PHP) and have almost no help for the site this year. I am the only member of the website team. My only help extends to a few teachers and volunteers, and they aren't always helpful.

I need people to tell me what our website needs, what it already has that is good, and any other suggestions. If you have a recommendation, like adding a script of some sort, it is requested, but not required, that you provide a code or a link to learn this.

Here are our websites:

(New): www.vailhs.net/robotics/trial/index.php

Is that a <marquee> tag where "newsworthy" items go?? You might want to replace that with Javascript or something because the <marquee> tag is not W3C standard

[zim2411]

I redid the portions of our site that used Lightbox to use Shadowbox instead. It is by far the most flexible script like this, and allows for almost anything to be put in a lightbox.

In addition, it can resize images (in the browser) to fit any screen. I decided to redo our medium size images with 1024x768 images, which look great now.

I also redid the videos so that Shadowbox loads a 640x480 iframe with the video player inside. This is activated by clicking the Videos link in Site Links, and then pops up on any page.

I know this topic is about showing off team website's, and I understand that not every team has one.

So if your team doesn't have a website, Team 1675 is here to save the day. We are willing to donate web space to any teams that are without a home on the web. I didn't know how popular this would be so I don't know how many sites we can provide web space for. So if your team needs one PLEASE contact me or send me a PM.
