So, my site is finally back online, and the sub-sites are slowly appearing, anyhow, time to finally launch the second version of my wishlist... Which uses phpMyAdmin as it's admin panel :p...

I like it Geoffers:thumbsup:
Although the amazon links aren't redirecting, good job.
Slightly off topic, but I'd go for a Digital SLR instead of a point and shoot :D - something like the Canon EOS 300D has come significantly down in price since it's launch over a year and a half ago.- However, it depends on what you would use it for;)

Looks nice Geoffers! The amazon links seem to be redirecting for me :confused: . By the way, nice choice for Midnight Club 3, DUB Edition :D

It looks quite poor. I don't understand why there is so much positiveness around the design.

It looks like something out of the past no sense of colour with nothing fresh in it whatsoever. The thumnails are overall poor in quality. Also you switch between £ GBP and $ USD.

As for using phpmyadmin as a cp - not sure why you would want to even do that.

You can alter mySQL tables through php.

Seems more like a "plug" than a review request. Nothing's changed visually from the last one, and as evo said, there's not much there to begin with.

Well, reevalulating the site I noticed it was kind of plain. Not sure what you could do to add pizzazz to a Wish List, but it's kinda boring. Not sure if you care about what it looks like, or the items.

Uploaded now...

Combination of using GD and the AWS images. Currency is in GBP where available (aka. most of the time), but there are a couple of shareware things where pricing is only USD

As for using phpmyadmin as a cp - not sure why you would want to even do that.

You can alter mySQL tables through php.Comes down to not having the time to write a real admin panel...

One more thing I noticed is you misspelled "Civilization" :DNope, it's the English English spelling I used :)

Well I didn't spell... Amazon did :D

Well even if Amazon did spell you should change it.
It has "Civilization" on the picture, but you have "Civilisation".

It has "Civilization" on the picture, but you have "Civilisation".It gets it from Amazon using the AWS (Amazon Web Services) through Tarzan, I have no control over what it says.

Ok, just thought I would let you know...
I understand that Tarzan is doing the spelling but you should figure out some way to change it.
If you want to make it in the Web Design business I would atleast get the right spelling and grammar man. ;) .
Don't mean to sound rough, but it kind've brings down the quality of the site when you have spelling mistakes..

I don't understand what the websote is trying to do. It is very clean which is good. Yet you may want to have a look at the various things for SE's as you don't semm to have your meta or H1 correct.

Yet is is clean.

I don't really think it's fair to criticise Geoffrey's coding practices - it's a hell of a lot more SE friendly than most sites.

Anyone mind explaining what SE's are?

Ah thanks Geoffrey

He was just making a suggestion.. aren't your supposed to criticize?

It is when he posts a request for it in the "Site Reviews" forum.

It's still very boring looking, but at the same time it's a wish list. I don't see what we're to criticize. It's a table with some very basic CSS styling applied.

Exactly what I said, in different words. When you put your site to be reviewed, people actually review it! It's called helpful criticism :o .
