I find the colors hard to read.

You switch colors going from page to page.

Consider hosting your own photos, that would look more professional as you could control the site's looks.

Is the clown suppose to be off center?

Explore tables/and or CSS to place the text next to your nav bars.

The dice pattern on the nav bars is kind of weird.

Get a banner for your site designed for a heading.

Get some interactivity going on - a forum - something.


ON THE upside.

You have some content - and content is King, and it probably looks better than my 1st geocities page along time ago . . .

Thanks for the creative and helpful criticism.

I have to adjust the colors to flow more evenly across all pages. The clown is on center for me; I guess that it's the browser and resolution variations that are causing him to appear off-center. Where is he for you? Where can I find a program that would make a banner for me, with relative ease? A forum is coming up, definitely. As for the photos, I like the program that I'm using. It makes things really simple for me. What can you suggest in terms of layout if I were to do it on my own?

Aimster, thanks for the compliment.

I guess the page truly does loos like all caps for people - I don't know why it looks normal to me, other than the text being bold and in a non-familiar font.

Mwilding, HAHA.. I laughed at the leprechaun comment. It looks less green for me...

Damn this fell fast. What's the protocol for post-bumping on this board? Stuff falls so fast, you have to bump it up every 10 minutes.

(I found this thread before you posted the bump so people still look all the way down)

the menu screams Frontpage...

You'd be better served doing HTML on your own (with some Dreamweaver MX assistance in organization) ... better in the long run if you like web dev. It'll show through in site reviews after a while. People don't really appreciate template sites anymore. ;)

Hey all.. pretty new here, just trying to generate some traffic to the site. If it's down, then the provider is doing routine maintenance on the servers, and it should be up within 12 hours or so. Let me know what you think, and any suggestions you might have to make it better.

Nice maxima. Do you have a higher res image of "stinsonagain" or any other higher res images you can send me? Check your private messages.

Thanks
 

i don't have the ability to critisize without being offensive....

Every 4 hours is customary...the thing is if no one is bumping a OT post, no one gives a crap.

the main page is still a little funky. Suggest putting all your buttons side by side isntead of stacked. Otherwise set up the tables so that the entire navigation is off to the left. I checked this on three different computers with three different resolutions and they're all on top instead of off to the left.

Here is a nice program to generate your web album. Now you can control the way it looks - requires no database backend and is dead simple, generating the thumbnails for you and such.

Later when you explore a website with a database backend try "Coppermine".

Banner generators - hmm, the best thing to use would be photoshop, paintshop pro, or if you need free "Gimp 2.0". Just set the size of your banner and drag some photos into it, chop resize, add some funky effects, add text, position, upload :)

Thanks, I will send you some pics tommorow morning. What are you going to use them for?

Thanks all that like the site or some parts of it, and to those who offered some constructive criticism. I will work on the site and hopefully it'll become better.

You don't know what rice is.

You hush up. Go back under the rock from which you came, dolt.
