  1. i can see you haven't ever tried a DreamWeaver All options that you have specified DreamWeaver has it and even more... FrontPage makes your code massy and not valid... Dreamweaver MX uses CSS which is great for me...
  2. Well, here goes my opinion :D1. Text should be visible and readable. Try not to use background images for text-areas and the text color should be darker. Also, avoid Times New Roman and that kind of fonts...2. Every image on your site should be there for a reason. Also, "alternate text" isn't there without a reason. Maybe someone has a slow connection a doesn't have time to download the image. So, try to use alt tags on every image and be precaised with 'em.3. Navigation should be clear, simple and accesible for everyone (if you are not making a site for special group of people with enormus IQ ). Good way to help your visitors find what they want is a search tool.This is for beggining.. . Maybe I'll post something new in a few days.Greetz!
  3. Yep. So we can't vote between this choices. The best are definitelly, C++ and PHP. But they are different kinds of scripting languages. We cannot make softwares with php, at least I don't know how to. Yet, C++ is more powerfull than PHP because you can make (almost) everything... So my vote goes to C++

    50 Invites

    Yap, I also got 50 invites. I hope Google won't enable sign up option, this way only people who now basic stuff about internet can sign up. For example, every dude who doesn't even now how to install a new software can have a mail on Yahoo!... Somehow, when I see that someone has a GMail, I now he isn't "computer illiterate".Greetz!
  5. Hm... I don't know what did you previous version look like, so I don't know is this better or worse. I just can say i could be better First of all, your header image is "i-didn't-say-ugly-but something-like-that" You should remove all the Bevels and Embosses and the shadow also doesn't fit. Second, backgorund image is little out of date. Now are very popular sidelong lines so try to use them... This background remindes me on wooded frame and I don't see how is it in connection with your site Navigation should be more conspicuous. Maybe you can add a thin frame around it, put some bullet in front of every link... don't know, try everything...As I can see, you are really good with scripts, but maybe you should find someone else for design... or WORK, WORK, WORK and LEARN, LEARN, LEARN ! B)Greetz!
  6. When did you make your first Web Site? What was it about? Why did you make it? What did it look like?Well, my first Website was about my club. It was fans-like site and there actually wasn't anything good on it I made it using Tripod's Site Builder and the whole interafce was with some green and black colors. From this point of view it was UGLY, UGLY, UGLY B)I made it just because "I wanted to have my own WebSite" Few months later i put some content on it and a whole "new" template...Then i started with FPage... later came Dreamweaver and Adobe PS... And now I'm learning Flash ActionScripts and MySQL...This was 2-3 years ago... Time flyes...
  7. Well, this looks really good. One of the best works I've seen here. But there are still some minuses. I don't see what's the point of this: #navigation a:hover { font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000; [B]cursor: ne-resize; [/B] text-decoration:underline; } You don't need that. This is how you can easily confuse your visitors and I think you don't want that. Maybe the better solution will be some other color, even a Background color, and a different UNDERLINE (dotted, dashed). But don't change that famous HAND cursor . Then, somehow I don't like that black line (frame) around content on your pages. Try to do without it, I think it'll be better. Greetz!
  8. I used to listen hip-hop. But I never liked "MTV rappers", those whos songs doesn't say anything. Lyrics like, I'm dangeorus, i live in a ghetto, blah,blah... And actualy they live in an extreme large house, with pool and they never even had a gun in their hands. And also the songs about "making love with opposite sex". Why do they need to tell us how they are succesfull and how every chick loves them? What's the point of that kind of songs? To make me feel miserable?Underground 'hop is different story...Greetz!
  9. Not that bad, not that bad at all...First thing I don't like is the black outline. Try to cut it out and then you'll have your "blast" effect more effective Also, have you tried to put a rollover image on menu buttons. Menu Font is OK.Next, forum template doesn't have anything with the rest of the site. Why don't you change it ? Forum has a gray scheme and site has a blue, where's the logic? Forum isn't part of the site ? I don't understand.I still can't understand why do people use Times New Roman. Time of this font has passed, it was popular 6-7 years ago and now it is over. Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS... those are fonts you should use.I'm using 1024x768 resolution and Firefox and I still have a horizontal scrollbar. This is the biggest minus for this site.Greetz!

    My Favourite

    Place this code to the <head> tags <script type="text/javascript">[br][/br]function bookmarksite(title, url){ if (document.all)[br]window.external.AddFavorite(url, title); else if (window.sidebar)[br]window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "") } </script>[br] And then, simply place the link. <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Title of your page', 'youraddress.com this site!</a> I hope I helped you.

    Flash

    First of all, you need Macromedia Flash MX software. This is only software you need. Then go to Google and search for Flash Tutorials. Probably, there will be everything you need. I can suggest you to visit http://www.flashkit.com/ . You have simply everything there. If Flash is too hard for you, you can try with Swish. I think the latest release is Swish Max. Swish is designed for making a small animations, he is as powerfull as Flash. You can download your trial version from here http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ . I think you won't be needing a tutorials for Swish. Greetz!
  12. I think you have a small typo. <a href=results.php target=result1> <frame src=results.php name=results1 id=results1> You just need to delete the underlined s in frame's name. And a small advice, use " in HTML. When you include it in PHP it will look like this. if ($_GET['result1']) { <frame src=\"results.php\" name=\"results1\" id=\"result1\"> else Greetz!
  13. I have installed ICQ, MSNM, YIM and I am using it all except YIM. Most of my friends have ICQ so I spend most of my time, when I'm online, there. MSN has better interface and it supports video/audio conferences, that's why I like it.I also have mIRC installed but I don't think it is an Instant Messenger, this is a chat client. Anyway, this is service I use most often because most of my friends know only how to connect to IRC Server and chat So, I'm almost every night online at irc.krstarica.com.Greetz!
  14. That's it. You just said it all ! Clap, clap, clap. We could maybe talk "ASP or PHP", but "PHP or HTML" noway. Greetz!
  15. To change the visitors cursor you can use JavaScript and for this menu DHTML (D stands for dynamic). Here is where you can find a plenty of great scripts for beginners, where I started. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ http://www.pageresource.com/ http://www.javascriptkit.com/ http://www.javafile.com/ But I have something to add. DHTML and JavaScript are so out of date, and I don't think you should bother yourself with them. Try to learn PHP for programming and, offcourse, flash for animations. Greetz!
  16. Hehehe, your list is long? You haven't seen my Add/Remove, believe me So, here are the softwares which I use most often. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Adobe Illustrator CS Dreamweaver FrontPage CorelDraw10 Corel PhotoPaint 10 (and whole Corel 10 package) Apache Mysql Macromedia Flash SwishMax Download Accelerator FlashGet Firefox 1.0 IE 6.0 Opera MyIE2 Mozilla ThunderBird 1.0 Winamp 5.0 Windows Media Player PixelToolBox AdAware 6 AVP Kaspersky MSN Messenger DC++ BS Player Most of them are being opened few times a day Greetz!

    Phpbb

    I am currently using phpBB because it is all I need. There are enough hacks and it is easy to make your own template and design your forum exactly as your page. I agree that Invision Board and especially vBulletin are better but small sites, like mine, don't need "space" options. I need 2/3 categories and 4/5 forums in each categorie.But, big forums (for example, Xisto) are much easier to moderate using IB or something similar. Just look how much forums and categories are here and try to imagine that on phpBB. Total Chaos !Greetz!
  18. Definitely Firefox ! It is very fast, not as Opera but fast enough. It has a built in download manager, tab control and there are plenty of extensions realesed every day. FireFox and Opera are the only explorers which display HTML like it really should be displayed.IE is most used Explorer because normal user (who doesn't now much about computers, softwares etc.) doesn't have need to get something else because IE "does the job". I assure you that every normal user who try Firefox becomes addicted to it .Greetz!

    Need Free Ftp Client

    I am working with Total Commander and I never had any problems. It is not just FTP explorer it is an explorer for your entire PC and it has a built in FTP explorer which works perfectly fine. You can store unlimited accounts with a different options for each. It had a lot of built in tools and my favorite is "Multi Rename Tool". Unfortunetly it is not free, you can download a trial version here. It costs 34$ but it is worth every penny. Greetz!
  20. Yap, I also get the Tripod error. I am from Serbia & Montenegro (ex-yugoslavia).2 MB file ?! Well, with dial up I need 5-6 minutes to download the file with that size. I surely won't wait that long for one page to open.Greetz!
  21. Maybe I'll be too hard but forum template looks much better then the rest of the site. First of all, try to use more attractive navigation. Use the same CSS class like it is on the phpBB template. Then, your site will be better with Tahoma or Verdana font in the BODY and Times New Roman for the titles (About Us, What We Offer...).Also, try with lite pink background instead of white.That's all for now.Greetz!
  22. I'm really not the fan of readymade scripts. Everyone can view their code and they can easily find a bug and crash your site. If you write your own script, only you now for the bugs and you are not that crazy to deface your own site So, the point is - if you want to have a good, functional web-site you are the only one who can make it. Noone will make it for you. But, I can assume that there aren't much people who are interested in programming. If you are one of them, here is the first step what you should do. Find the script you want to use, search the google for all bugs of that script and try to fix them. This way, you are protected from "script kiddies" who are, in most of the time, the main security problem for Webmasters.I hope I helped you.P.S. Sorry for grammar mistakes
  23. Well, it isn't bad, but you need a lot more work. First of all, try to avoid frames. They don't bring anything good, they just deform your page. Frames were popular when there wasn't PHP, ASP. Now you can get the same effect with INCLUDE function. Then, Times new Roman font is so out of date. Try to use Trebuchet MS and my favourite Verdana. Also, you should put some more effective colors and a graphic header.Cheers.P.S. I used Firefox, if that makes any differences.
  24. Well, I used to work with MS FrontPage (for HTML coding, offcourse) but then I realized how bad it is and I got Dreamweaver ( I think version is not important). Now I'm working with Dreamweaver for HTML and PhotoShop 7.0, Illustrator CS for graphics. I don't use flash animations very often, so when I need them, I open Swish Max.P.S. I also do PHP in Dreamweaver (editing scripts )
