Very very smooth and easy to navigate! Tons of useful info! Excellence for sure!
For all that it matters, add something about Promo-Bot, I'm eager to read it. And... you know, finish the rest of the site.

Team 375: The Robotic Plague Website is just about finished.
http://www.team375.com
The site was made using ASP (Active Server Pages), so it is very dynamic. If you look at the source code for the main page, you'll see that it's about 500 lines of code. Since that is a lot of code to debug, the actually server side code is only 50 lines long, and uses server-side includes to be easily manageable. The Members, Alumni, Mentors, and Subteams pages all retrieve information from a database, so they can be easily updated.

Looks good, but the FIRST logo on the right should be in color, and all your images should be resized in an image editor before uploading them to the site. It both saves bandwidth and looks better. There is an excellent free editor called Paint.NET that few people use, and it resembles Photoshop fairly well in both features and interface.

If you are using transparent GIF files, you should manually edit out all white pixels, or just leave the background as white. (Like the Port Authority sponsor logo or the FIRST Overdrive graphic.) Alternatively you could use blending modes in Photoshop to seamlessly put the background in, but since you have a fixed background this wouldn't work. (I did this on http://www.firstbaa.com/ specifically: http://www.firstbaa.com/components/t...side-henry.png)

Hope this helps.

Edit: Okay I took the shadows out of the Overdrive graphic using the EPS file, and then rendered it to a transparent PNG. http://test.dulaneyrobotics.com/Overdrive%20-%20No%20Shadows.png Just resize, and save to GIF or PNG. (PNG is by far a better choice, even though IE6 does not support transparency)

The sidebar looks like the one from slashdot.org

Looking at the page source, it's meant to be:

Re: Web Competitors 2008

Thanks for all the help zim! About the FIRST logo, i didnt take out the colors. if you look here, you'll see that FIRST gives u a few options on which logo to use. I have Photoshop CS3, and Paint.NET also, but i just couldnt take out all the little white dots. It's too annoying. I'm just going to settle on a white background, I guess. Thanks for the overdrive logo, I'll try to work something out. And yes, it is the Slashdot menu, as you both pointed out. BTW, where did u get the EPS? I've been looking all over for it, but couldnt find it anywhere! I'm also working on a login system for the site, where team members will be a ble to login, and edit the information that shows up on the members page.

Heh, it's right here: http://www.usfirst.org/community/res...er.aspx?id=650

The EPS for the FIRST logo is there too. To remove the shadow for the Overdrive graphic though I loaded it up in Illustrator CS3 and had to go change the layer options for each letter... twice. Bleh.

Looks good, nice clean design. Shy away from using YouTube as a video host if you can... it is blocked in many high schools, making some of your resources unavailable.
