First Website

I have basically create my rough draft images and implemented them into the site. It ain't done yet, but do you like the layout?

also, sorry no url. I am short on $$$ and can't be paying for a site until It is done

perhaps it would be an idea to get a free geocities account or something similar. If we are just looking at the layout you can upload it there without needing to have a fully working site.

Mxx

Looks good so far. Don't forget ALT tags for those navigation images ;)

I tried getting a quick brinkster account but I accidently pushed the X button to get rid of extensive pages and closed it. I was surfing much more than 1 page at a time :P handy skill to have. I guess I gotta wait until 36 hours til my code unvalidates and I get another 1 :-{. Thanks for the replies, also. Would it be a good idea to have different "looks" of my site? Like if(site == 1){document.write("<img src="Images/Top1.gif")}
else(site == 2){
document.write("<img src="Images/Top2.gif")
}
etc, same with link rel to stylesheets?

:eek: OMG :eek: - surfing more than one page at a time is a SKILL?!?!? [ krycek counts his Mozilla tabs ] - I have 49 tabs open in Mozilla right now, so I must be very highly skilled! :cool:

::] krycek [::

you and me are both considered (plural form of techy)

or:

if(recievant == krycek){
document.write("you are a techy")}
else {
return=false
}

i did that before, changing the colors on random, it wasnt very intrusive, but in the end i came to the conclusion that having different colors per page, or even the same page reloaded isnt the best idea, supposedly it confused people :rolleyes:
so i stuck with static.

krycek, I am afraid you actually have VERY little skill :-} When I said I was browsing a lot, I meant a lot

If you fancy a user-controllable design scheme, you might like Paul Sowden's stylesheet switcher (http://alistapart.com/stories/alternate/)

Nope none of mine were the "same" although some I have to track different thread in forums etc.

heh... that design looks pretty grand to me...

i only have two browser windows open, wouldnt want to crash my mean machine now, would i? ;)

I did know that ;)

Your editing of the dithered button background was not too great - the pattern difference was rather obvious :p

::] krycek [::

I thought I did a rather good job :-}

:eek: I usually have 2 or 3 open max, my computer won't usually handle anymore ;) I tested it yesterday though, got up to about 12 and it sorta...died....

my comp stopped at 48 i beleive, or 47 not sure

Looks good so far.

Windows XP keeps on trying to be clever once I get to 8 windows, it creates a submenu thingy in the taskbar. Very annoying. :mad:

does same thing to me, instead of getting smaller and smaller. ads do it and it makes it hard to close them

methinks your images could do with the ol' alt="my image" taggy things...

sheesh man, its just a draft :-} Thanks though, is there anyway to center the alt text so it looks a little like the ol' image?

I like the layout, its simple, organizes, and original. Any thoughts, mail me

other than that... methinks not ;) oh, the "proper" way to do that is actaully title="&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Text&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" and the alt is for when the image doesnt exist or poeple without a browser that is set/designed to show images
