The early stages of my website - please look and critize on the good and the bad

Just started on it tonight. Please comment on the format, coloring, layout, etc.

A question too. You fellas know how some sites have a restriction where they allow you to view an image on their site, but not be able to copy it or "right click" on the image? How do they do that? Another question is on certain links in my site, such as the link to my resume, how can I set a username/password restriction in order to enter that area of the site? Thx.

BTW, I'm not exactly sure what my site is about yet. Just poking around for now until I think of something useful and interesting.

Plucky

Oh, one more thing. Where can I get a free counter for my website?

Impossible, if it can be viewed, it can be very easily stolen. However... the javascript to disable right click:

function trap_page_mouse_key_events ()
{
var browser = navigator.appName.substring ( 0, 9 );

document.onmousedown = disable_right_click;

if ( browser == "Microsoft" )
document.onkeydown = check_mousekey;
else if ( browser == "Netscape" )
document.captureEvents( Event.MOUSEDOWN );
}

JonBarillari, do I enter that for a specific html page or per the image I wish to use? To disable the right click feature?
I've not much clue when it comes to javascript, or any kind of complex programming.

kai's power tools, alien skin, and other such photoshop filters are evil. ESPECIALLY WHEN ANIMATED

Also - that right click disable thing is annoying as hell.

Also - if you want to password protect thing, read up on .htaccess

Also - that big japanese (or whatever language) banner on the front is a hideous wate of space. none of us can read it, it doesn't look cool, and it's huge.

And - it's not the matrix, lay off the bright green text. And don't tell me what resolution to use, I sure as hell am NOT changing my display settings for your pointless website.

Also, some form of content would be nice. Some proken plug-in icons show up at the top of the screen, I'll assume that's flash. It doesn't play on this machine, and all I can see is the main page.

You cannot see the top and bottom frames notfred? I believe that's what they're called. Dreamweaver meshed 'em all up when I saved it into *.asp format. How's the load time for the website? Slow? As I've said, the site is in very preliminary stage, not much content yet, want to focus on the site's format and foundation first.

Thx for the criticisms

 

[JonBarillari]

You could enter the code either way... my sugestion would be per page.. however it really is a waste of time cause all you need to do is view the source... find the image you want.. then enter the link to the image in the address bar and your image has been stolen. To be honest, like the others said, it's just annoying and provides no image stealing security.

 

[notfred]

I can see the frames, but there's nothing in the top one, jsut three missing plug-in icons. The bottom one has an email address and an ICQ # and stuff....

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

They're just buttons w/links to other pages, for the frame on top. Added a counter from MS, found on google. Thx sbastedo Removed the "chinese characters from the main page and going to link it elsewhere. More suitable that way and helps with load time. Thx fellas.

 

[SSP]

hmmmm... weird:

The page cannot be displayed

The animated GIF is almost a meg... way too big for a picture, no one on dialup is going to waste 5 min waiting to see it. And it's way too "1997" anyway...

Also consider using a different font than Times New Roman. That font really, and I do mean really, sucks on webpages. The buttons on top actually don't look half bad but you should make the top and bottom frames less obvious.

 

[MikeO]

What's wrong with them:

(1) Large animated .gif's are horrible
(2) Top frame doesn't work
(3) Always, ALWAYS include the menu as text links too (why?, look #2)
(4) Takes forever to load
(6) 1024*768 as minimum resolution
(7) Lack of actual design and/or idea
(8) No consistent colors

I think you might be able to hide your image, but make it visible...
linky... Try this...

This website creation is really much harder than I think it would be, in terms of it having the look of professionalism. I've only dealt with webpage creation ~8yrs ago when I was only using notepad to create the source code language. A lot has changed since then, advanced way beyond my level of understanding.

Yeah, I agree, that gif anime is very big at around 1 meg. My bro created that for me, thought it'd look nice. Guess we should really keep with the KISS rule eh. Damn 56k users j/k!!

Wow, when I ask for constructive critism, I really did get what I ask for! Thx again fellas Hopefully when its done it at least be half decent and professional looking...

I always use notepad to code web sites in, both of the pages I linked to above, notepad...
