The way you did your links is uncomfortable because the pointer doesn't change.  I thought they were dead links until I tried clicking on them.  

Not to be mean, but your layout is horrendous.

If you don't have photoshop, download Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) and put a little time into making some real graphics.  MSPaint = NO.

font.. what font.. that was done with a mouse and paintbrush and an unsteady hand.

I like the black / yellow combo.. but its going good otherwise.. move the menu to the left instead of right bottom.

everyone is responding to the graphics...love em or hate em you've chosen a very specific way to highlight things...

I agree-links should change when you pass over them-pr the pointer should. Dreamweaver program helps with this.

I wonder what it is exactly that you will be graded on?

Damn guys!!!  I was hoping to make it in the website design biz.....

Anyway, I wrote it like that for fun, so it looked like a 5 yr old kid wrote it..
It's actually everything we have to do to get an "A" on the assignment.
got the LINKS, PHOTOS, and THE CONCTACT

Well there are things i must fix, but these pages are disigned with microsoft word.  That's the only tools we're supposed to use...

Thanks for the encouragement......  I was hoping to take GSTWIN down with that website..... :lol:  :lol:

I like the "5 year old on blackboard" look. But it shouldn't look like a 5 year old wrote the page. :)

You should tighten up the links so that you don't have to scroll down so far.

UGgggg! I just looked at the source. Jeezzzz Its amazing how bloated MS can make a web page.  
You really can't use anything but Word to do it in?  Yuck!

Oh well, not bad givin that.

Looking much better.

Post by: South East Rocket on July 19, 2003, 09:58:13 AM
yeah, my duck head teacher told me the site had to look more professional.....
Anyway, it should all be finished by Tuesday, when the assignment is due.
By the way does anyone know how i can get one of those counters that tells you how many hits i get?

Post by: Casimir on July 19, 2003, 12:42:41 PM
Google for free counter (http://www.google.com/search?q=free+counter&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) and you'll find several to choose from.

A few suggestions:
1. Make your text smaller (especially the title), it will look better. Keep to default size for most text.
2. If you use a counter, put it out of the way, it's for your use, the person visiting couldn't care less (on any website).
3. If you continue to develop it, get a better editor, you'll get much better results than with Word.
4. Do a spell check, nothing detracts like bad grammar/spelling.
5. Don't leave links without destinations, better to remove the link completely.
6. Never put an "Under Construction" page. All active websites are under constant construction, leave the link off instead.
7. Change your title to say Website instead of WebsitE.

Post back here when you think it's done. I'll proofread it and I'm sure others will too.

Good luck!

Post by: yamahonkawazuki on July 19, 2003, 10:33:18 PM
i took a look at the site, the pointer does change when over a link. got a question for you, on your site header it said utc, is that by chance university of tennessee@chattanooga? if so, lets organise a ride, im in the knoxville area.as they say with anything, practice makes perfect. keep it up also get yourself a copy of paint shop pro. has some excellent tools to edit graphics and photos. :thumb:  :cheers:

Notpad is for sissies. Real coders redirect the keyboard to the html file and type it correctly the first time.  :nana:
