Re: my website
 

:( don't like popups at all, first popup.... I'm gone:Sprint: I don't even read it

Re: my website
 

Whats the site supposed to be?

Re: my website
 

Who knows?

Re: my website
 

Not another piczo site :erm: Do yourself a favour and steer clear of them and set yourself a proper site up if you want to. Piczo sites are a well known hang out for idiots, kiddies, chavs and paedos.

Re: my website
 

I have to agree with you on that one. :tu:

The only comments I would say are, watch yourself, using copyright materials might land you in trouble, i.e. Star Wars theme, Eric Cartmen ;)
And the animated glitter menu :eek:

Re: my website
 

No one really cares about that unless the site is big and has a easy to track down owner with a lot of cash.

Re: my website
 

My recommendation if you're starting out with websites:

Tools: Notepad, Filezilla

Resources:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Get some webspace or use your free space if you have it.

Learn HTML and CSS in that order, then use Notepad to build a basic page.
Once you have something to test, upload it to some webspace using Filezilla.

Making websites using templates or pre-packaged garbage like piczo will never help you learn how to build your own.

Using one of those pre-packaged garbage apps I created mine:

Re: my website
 

I dont think php-fusion is quite "like" piczo and anyway even with php-fusion or anything else similar even vbulletin are you going to be able to make it individual with no html knowledge and that comes from making pages in notepad not some other junk program like front page or dreamweaver.

Re: my website
 

I use dreamweaver... it does the job I want it to do in record time, no way I want to be sat coding in notepad.

Re: my website
 

Wow, how incredibly stereotypical!

I'm thirteen, care to comment on my site? - http://www.dmay.info

Re: my website
 

A table of images to look like a single image on a page, the image portraying one to be an expert in several IT and other applications @ aged 13, yet the one page fails to validate to regaulr w3c standards, 4 warnings out of the 6 are in the body tag alone. Just goes to show how dangerous the net is if you dont know how to do it yourself in the first place. ;)

Note I wouldnt have mentiond the validation failure if it had not been for the subject of the page itself.

Here is a couple of links for you

Your site is very good, I would tone down the old blowing your own trumpet thing though..

"huge knowledge of..."
"brilliant knowledge of.."
"specialist in..."

:)

Re: my website
 

That's about as valid a comparison as comparing Einstein with David Beckham though. (Too obvious to say which way round, and in what).

Re: my website
 

Nice looking, but here is my advice:

dump the images and recreate the exact same look using HTML and CSS, this gives you the ability to:

*Get your site listed in search engines
*Allow you to concerntrate on Accessability

Also then I would also add a contact form, you need to add a blank HTML page to each sub directory to stop people getting at the directory tree.

You have a good base but just need to re-work it a little.

Re: my website
 

What's that? A single image cut up using either photoshop or imageready? Must have taken oooh, 10 minutes?

Re: my website
 

No....but I know your mobile number now! :D:D:D

Re: my website
 

Care to revalidate ? Thanks for the heads-up - I only uploaded it a day or so ago.

Would you like to speak to Eric G. to verify that he wrote that ?

---------- Post added at 13:22 ---------- Previous post was at 13:21 ----------

Yeah, about that. Was too busy doing a project at the time to really care about how it is so incredibly simple...

Re: my website
 

I'm not sure It even qualifies as a webpage.

It has no hyperlinks and is basically a static non interactive , mis-leading picture.

Re: my website
 

You know your site is essentially useless for search engine optimisation? Which is great if you don't expect any business from it, also, why use tables? Tables are for tabular data, not layouts, you should be using CSS and it should be XHTML strict compliant. Give us the link for "Eric G"'s web site.

Re: my website
 

Different people share a different school of thought but that doesn't matter, I agree with most of what has been said. It looks more like a holding page than a web "site"

Re: my website
 

Simple is a nice plain ccs based box.

Very basic is what your 'site' is.

Re: my website
 

I use Dreamweaver (HTML & CSS) for my sites:

Re: my website
 

I might be a web design Nazi but I don't think there's ever any excuse for a non-CSS, non-validating business web site/page. CSS layouts are far easier to build and maintain, they're normally a lot smaller in file size and the lack of extra tables/tr/td tags on the page helps a lot with SEO.

On this page http://www.do39.com/vc/webdesign.htm you're going on about the importance of validation, but the page itself doesn't validate ;)

Re: my website
 

mmmm thats odd. Validated before. Something to do with using the same div tags twice.

Re: my website
 

OK.I'm going to say to ALL of the so called adults on this page..Shame on you all...

I value contructive criticism.I don't value belittling people who haven't the same expertise as you and to do it to young people in this way is outrageous.How many of you suffered from teachers who did exactly the same thing?Why repeat the experience in CF?I thought the ethos if this site was to be helpful in a CONTSTRUCTIVE manner.

Miss is very disappointed by this thread. :(

Re: my website
 

He came on inferring that he, as a 13 year old could create a good site, he was wrong and has had it pointed out to him. (If he didn't want criticism he should have posted a link to his site).

I suspect that you don't really have anything to add in respect of the actual theme of this thread so why don't you go berate people in a different one?

Re: my website
 

Wow. How fast you are to jump on my errors, instead of checking your own.

How many errors did dmay.info have on the validation test on w3? 6.. wasn't it ?

http://www.purplegriffon.com/ - 10 errors
http://www.nthwclan.co.uk/ - A whopping 36!

Hmm... Didn't you design both of those ? Oh, and purplegriffon has the validity image, when it isn't .. actually valid.

See how easy it is to be critical and not offer any constructive criticism?

Re: my website
 

I think there's a slight difference between his and yours, his site actually has content and much more to validate.

Re: my website
 

Re: my website
 

Pfft. Who are you anyway ?

I'm also guessing, from your egotistical attitude, that all of the websites you own are completely and utterly flawless and have been validated by w3?

We aren't flaming - we're not in caps...

We're having a discussion.

Re: my website
 

The problem is the more content and pages you have the harder it is to validate. BBC is one of the best sites on the web and not all of its pages vailidate. I never put the seal on my sites anymore because as you saw before its very hard to ensure 100% validation all the time.

Re: my website
 

In defence of Handyman, he's actually had very little to do with the NTHWclan site to date. Indeed that site is very much being changed and added to as it is built. The content bears no resemblance to the stuff that was there last month. Not throwing stones at people in glasshouses but I wonder how well the other clan site does?

I think all this thread is showing is the difficulty people face in achieving good web design. It's not just having interesting content, it's also having interesting layout with reasonable code behind it. What should be done is encouragement for those prepared to have a go, whether by use of raw code, or integrated tools, and constructive help, if something isn't right to help improve it.

Re: my website
 

Who am I? Who are you? A 13 year old with an attitude problem by the look of it.

Every single one of them, it's not difficult to achieve, it's not as if the validator doesn't tell you where you've messed up.

Re: my website
 

The problem to me was what the page was putting across to a visitor, yet was very apparently either not so or the site was coded in such a way it did not fit in with the info on the page and what it was potentially appearing to try to sell. Beleive it or not but many people have been taken for 1000's from similar claims by people of all ages who end up not delivering.

Now if the page is to be believed that this 13 year old is an expert in all that software the page portraying such statements needs to support them, wether they be true or not.

Re: my website
 

I had a fantastic collection of conkers and I could do a damn fine castle on the etch-a-sketch when I was 13 btw, of no relevance to the thread of course but I thought I would share my experience of being 13 with you all.

Perrmission to carry on :D

Re: my website
 

If you classify that as "throwing stones at people in glasshouses" then by all means, please do so - Ours has been in development for a month or so now and is very very near to being completed.

A mere 7 errors on the w3 validation - which will be fixed.

Which is why I am working on a new layout - I do believe a portfolio is needed...

---------- Post added at 15:12 ---------- Previous post was at 15:11 ----------

Hah! No, I'm probrably the only 13 year old you know that can actually defend himself when someone attempts to belittle him...

Links ?

Re: my website
 

If I give you links, you'll end up with all my contact details, I'm slightly dubious about giving them out to a 13 year old who needs a large dose of Ritalin.

Re: my website
 

Had experience with Ritalin, have we ? Don't think I'm the one needing it, thanks very much :)

Re: my website
 

:clap: to Coggys post. You bunch of bullies. He's 13 for goodness sakes! Constructive critism is what's called for, not snidy sly remarks. Lemony's got a constructive hobby at the very least. Better that than hanging around town in a hoody terrorising old people. I think his avatar is very apt with reference to this thread.

Re: my website
 

Shame on me for arguing with a child over the internet ....

But I'll gladly show you a copy of the current site I'm working on when it's finished before it goes live.

Re: my website
 

There is of course those who put criticism and being downright insulting together and think nothing of it.

Lets just say for a minute LemonyBrainAid does have something like ADHD, ritilin is not a nice drug to be on mate, unless of course you dont need it and just take it for a playground drug.
