I think MSN concentrate to much on advertising. They have copied google by putting the sponsored links on the side (or did google copy MSN?) which is ok i don't mind that, but then they have some of the same links in the main search. I agree that some serious improvment is needed. One of the only things I do like about MSN search is that they have taken out the necessity of going to more than one page to search a range of things like encyclopedia, dictionary or just the web.

I still use ie mostly and switch to opera when ie comes up with errors. I have also tried firefox. I can't really find many differences the between browsers except the in-built poppup blocker and that opera uses the pages in the cache whenever it can but ie prefers to reload them. For some things the auto-use-cached-page thing can workout quite well however most of the time its just frustrating. Haven't bothered testing out wether firefox does this too. I think Microsoft should upgrade soon but if not i am going to change my default browser. IE is just getting to outdated.

What is it that you study? I'm moving into year 11 soon and have been looking at the different things i can study at Uni. I was thinking that something along the lines of computer programming would be quite good. Any advice would be great.

I very much doubt that this information is reliable and I agree with Gods Chicken, your site should be something that is individual and represents YOU and what YOU want to tell the reader. Your site should never try to stick to any rules set down by others.

Full flash sites are only good when you have nothing better to do than sit in front of a blank screen for 5 minutes per page for a bunch of crappy moving pictures etc. I really dislike them, I mean a flash in the top corner of each page on a site to catch the attention is okay but pages and pages full of them? There is just no need for that much flash!

I think that the best layout is a simple one that has a pic or flash or something up the top to grab the attention, then a frame with links on the left and the info in a central frame. The most important thing about an internet site in my mind is simply having the content that the user is looking for. The best graphics and layouts in the world are useless without decent content.

As I said in the other Forum I have also used statcounter and suggest you at least try it. It is ad free and u have the option to make it invisible or give it a range of colours. You can also with the one acount use it for multiple sitesand pages.

Personaly i dont know why you would want to use a template that hundreds of other people could already be using however, I suggest downloading yahoo site builder 2. Its free and has over 300 designs that you can use. Theres also a manual to tell you how to use it. download it here- http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I first learnt to make a web page simply using very basic html in notepad. I dont suggest doing it this way it wasnt exactly easy. I would start with an easy and popular - (so that you can get advice off others easier) WYSIWYG program like dreamweaver or frontpage.BTW- do dreamweaver/frontpage have tutorials built into them? and if so are they any good?

I use a free invisible stat counter http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ '> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You can use it for more than one site and it gives you stats on each page on your website. It tells you how many times each individual person has looked at your pages. It is very detailed and not hard to use. You can choose to have an invisible counter that others cant see or of course there is the option to show your visitors the counter in a range of pretty colors (there is also a bit of a dodgy option to start the counter on a number of your choice). I've looked through a few and this is the best i can find.

I've never used any WYSIWYG programs for any major site creating but i have tested front page and some other thing (for some reason i can't remember the name). I dont like WYSIWYG programs for one reason, limitations = frustrations (look at me i can rhyme). With some editors you can insert some raw html but it is just annoying switching between modes. When i switch i often get confused and end up putting it in the wrong place or something. I will stick with notepad thankyou very much.

I would suggest three things. 1- get a spyware protector to stop spyware downloading itself. For this i would suggest either spybot (which i have and have found very usefull) or adaware which i have heard great things about.2-get a popup blocker. I have never tried one and dont actually know whether it will work.3-get a personal firewall. For this i strongly suggest Zone alarm, (You can either downlaod a free version or pay for one with a few more features). This firewall is very good although anoying sometimes with the amount of warnings.I hope this helps you with your problem.

I use mostly google to search for all manner of things. I only use Altavista when i want to use one of its speciallised searches (one i find particularly useful is the mp3 only search). I also use Ask.com (previously jeeves.com) when i need answers to a particular question. I've never used any other search engines and dont plan to. The three i have mentioned should more than cover your searching needs.BTW-I also use google because of the funky little logo's.

yes I know. I only really made this for those of us like myself who cant be bothered with trial and error and prefer to use some of the typical colors.

I have always been a loyal windows supporter and will continue to be. I had a look a linux a couple of years ago and it just didnt match up. Perhaps its different now. Should i take another look?

100.com has to be one of the most hopeless search engines on the net. I aggree with killer. No-one beats google for searching and ask.com for any homework questions.

I didnt know google was british. I always thought it was american like almost everything else on the net.

While i agree that cookies are good if used in the correct way i dont think there is any need for most sites to use them. BTW-the person who came up with "cookies" is probably the same skinny little guy who first said "You see that cow over there, I'm going to squeeze the little pink things under it and drink whatever comes out".

My friend loves that thing but dosent no where to get it, can you tell me so i can tell him?

No i dont think so because when you test your site your trying to find any mistakes and in fixing mistakes you are developing your site. Development is a broad term that is used loosely.

I dont really use any template. For html coding i just use notepad and create from scratch. For images i use paint shop pro.

does anyone no if i can get a free or trial version of dreamweaver? Everyone says its the best but ive never tried it. I use notepad for html editing, paint shop pro for images and my browser is IE.
