New Website

JamesWu · #1 17-11-2003, 01:29

Another new website for our team and personally it looks good. Too bad the forums and image gallery probably don't work right now.

maybe you wanna put up the link so you can get some feedback on it?

ps - 1089 is working on a new website, it can be previewed here: http://www.geocities.com/bandchick9903/home.htm

the links do not work, and i am aware that all the images are not working either. it is just a general template idea. i would appreciate some feedback (from anyone but anthony (aignam)).

thanks in advance.

I'm guessing its the 'www' button under his post.

Bandchick: Why do people feel the need to redefine the cursor for mousing over links? I think its pointless and just plain aggravating.
The logo is a little fuzzy (something town high school?) and the same could be said of your navigation (fuzzy, still readable though.) I'd get a gif of the logo. Maybe hunt for a cleaner font for the navigation? Especially because the rest of the website has a very clean look, the grungey font is just weird.

JamesWU: Very minimalistic. Its a pity that you made it with tables and not css, or I wouldn't have much to complain about. Only major beef is that on the subpages you don't make it clear where you are. (IE: click on the content link. I don't see 'Content" on that page outside of the navigation links)

css is good tho... I'll make navigation more clear.
Also when anyone who posts critiques should also metion what regional their going to.

?

Wait a sec. Some minor coding beefs that may come back to haunt you. You have a <center> tag before an <html> tag? and no </html> closing tag? Maybe you should double-check what you have and want there... Colours should be defined with a # in front or you might find some breakages. Attribute values should be in quotes. Otherwise, a nicely done website.

Although most of the problems it returned have already been mentioned, I suggest running your page through http://validator.w3c.org/ to make sure it'll show up the same in every browser

JamesWu · #10 17-11-2003, 22:33

Thanks for telling me about the validator service but the link was wrong...No biggie. Also, Yes...I will beat up anyone who gives me bad opinions. BTW...Watch out my regional's the Pacific Northwest one.

Eek sorry about the broken link. That's http://validator.w3.org .

Anyhow, is that PHP-Nuke/Post-Nuke running under your site?

I hope not...the rules (I think) disqualify it if it's not completely student created and maintained...right? (I didn't read them very closely last year...)

Well, we originally used phpnuke until we found out we couldn't use it so we started learning php by looking at about every...single...php...tutorial on the net. php.net isn't very informative it's just a reference. But good times.

JamesWu · #13 17-11-2003, 23:53

w00t!w00t! the site is bigger...haters

Haha I know the feeling...

We were using phpBB, too, until we found out we couldn't use it either

I had to code a (not as fancy admittedly, but functional) solution for our upcoming new site...

PHP.NET is a great reference, but their tutorials are less than useful...I just popped open some free code and random tutorials until I found out how to do the basics then just toyed around and used php.net as a reference until I've gotten to be pretty decent
