So I rebuilt my website, what do you think? what do you think I should add to it (if I know how to do it)? What am I missing?

I even added CSS, I finally did it myself for the first time. It wasn't that hard.

Thanks,
Darkmage

change the black font colour, it's hard to read.
I don't like times new roman. I suggest 'Verdana' instead!

why are links black, and then white when you have visited them? Sort that out!

Make the banner the full width of the dark grey area, instead of ALMOST full width.




Just a few things!

its A dark scheme, I will lighten up the black a bit, I never messed with the font, so it is set to the browser settings.

and its the CSS part:

Code:

Select All

 

<style type="text/css">
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: white;}
A:active {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: white;}
</style>
 

{BR}<style type="text/css"> {BR}A:link {text-decoration: none; color: black;} {BR}A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: white;} {BR}A:active {text-decoration: none; color: black;} {BR}A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: white;} {BR}</style> {BR}

 

and the banner I will get to, I was messing with <nobr></nobr> code and it moved the banner down, I wanted it to tightly hug the top of the table line.

Thank you Wrighty.

Darkmage.

I don't like the way the visited ones are white, and the unvisited ones are black... I reckon you have a bit of consistency. Maybe hover them to white, but all other times, they're black?

so what your saying, is all black, but hover white? About the banner how will I be able to make it touch the very top of the table? the <nobr> does not work, and I don't know any other things that will fix it.

and actually the visited color will not change in Fire Fox, nor will the table color. In IE, its black, but in FF it is white.

EDIT:
I changed the color to Gray instead of black.

Does your table have a value for cellpadding or cellspacing?
If so, you should set those to zero.
Then set valign to top.
This will make it so the banner touches the top of your table.

It sorta worked, there is a small space in between maby like an inch or 2.

Oh dear! >.<

I was bored, so I went and 'recoded' your site. well, tidied it up anyway. Little did I know that you had about 4 body tags, and 10 unclosed tags... Basically, it was a mess. And do you know why it was a mess? You didn't use 'tabbing'.

If you view source on My Version you will see that it's all spaced out nicely, you can see what is where, and I could easily see where there wasn't a closed tag. As a <td> would line up with a </td>

I know mine's not lined up nicely on the page like yours is, but that's because you cheated and had some BAD code on yours.

Your page gets 50 errors in the XHTML test. Mine gets 5

is that a bad thing? and what is tabbing?

and what do you mean unclosed tags? all tags are closed. I have < and > on every single tag.

EDIT:
All sites have errors, there is no site that has no errors, VF, PB, INV, is all top forum providers that have errors. Google even has errors

Tabbing is when you have some lines indented, it makes it a bit easier to refer to particular tables etc. When he talks about "closed" tage, it doesn't mean having a "<" or a ">", he means that there are some that lack a "</>" attribute, adding in whatever value.

no no ... you open a font tag by: <font> and you don't close it with </font>

So you have to make sure you do that for all of the tags.

And I explained tabbing... Read my post before.

Oh I see yeah I forgot to add that, I did not think I would have to as it displays the way I want it, but Wrighty on your version it does not have the table centered in the page and that is how I want it to look like.

But see I do not understand tabbing, and why its a 'big deal' I can read my work just fine, and don't need to tab.

you obviously can't, if you had abour 20 unclosed tags, and 4 body tags!

it is centered for me! meh. I'll sort that later!

its not centered in both IE nor FF, so I meant was I can read my work better then yours, your is all spread out, and its teh confusingness.

ok, can you see the TD tags that you haven't closed, or the Body tags taht you have opened?

no, but when i do that one thing for it showing what is wrong it said this:

is all wrong, and it says that I have > in the wrong places. I do not think that it is an accurate thing.

EDIT:
and plus look here

it is the web standard. IT is correct.

The reason it doesn't like your things is because they're capitals!

Oh just because I have CAPITOLS! lol. well I learned almost all my stuff from

http://werbach.com/barebones/barebones.txt
and w3 school thing.

well, standards do change, and you have to keep up with them if you want to run a site!

So what will happen if you have a site that does not meat the standards? Then what? and what if you don't know the new standards, and I was also tought this way at school too.

There's nothing wrong with not meeting the standards. If you meet all of the standards however, there is a greater chance that your site would be cross browser compatible.

Oh I see. so is that why many PB and some VF codes are not CB, that must be why my color for the table is white in FF and it is supposed to be black.

Exactly!! Standards don't really exist for JS codes. Using DOM (advanced JS) normally minimises the lack of CB.

Ahh I see. I dont know much about JS, or DOM for that matter. so my site is strict HTML, and slowly adding CSS. Like the ones I have added in.

Now later I want to ad Google Adsence or how ever you spell it, but I need to know more about it, in order for my mom to let me use it. Ive read the google page for it, but allot of it is big Corporation words, that I do not understand XD

EDIT:
Hey Wrighty. later if you want can you make me a code for my site, I want it to disable right click for images.
