OK, my website is better now, no longer black-blue-red. I think it's much better. Used a CSS for the look of the page. Everything else is HTML.

Tsk. Tsk.

And as a warning, anyone who gets around the 'auto logout link remover' shall incur my wrath. So don't even try it!

...That...sucks...

Only one section of the site is finished, and that's a one-sentence description of Wings 3D, in the layout somewhere.

And the 'AGE-dedicated' page just has a link to Drew G's mirror of AGE...

And the colouring hurts my eyes. And the adverts... Oh, the adverts. Only about 6 of them, 1 a pop-under....

[edit]
This is why your code sucks:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamenvironment.150m.com%2Findex.html

And you've seen people being flamed for this kind of thing (crap websites) before, so why, WHY do you people do it. WHY.

Well, to make this a constructive thread, howzabout I ask if anyone wants me to host their 3d Model Packs? Also if you have any reviews/overviews of online, console, or hand held games, that would be nice. I havent dont much with the site yet, but I am working towards getting some real resources on it. Anyone who uses blender, ppmodeler, or other 3d modeling programs, they could post the information/rating/tutorials here. I'm not expecting anyone to give me anything, but it would be nice. Until I get my own computer I can't try much programs or online games. So any help is appreciated, thanks.


[edit] And I will have my own mirror of AGE by the end of this coming week.

LMAO! Things get better and better for you dont they - first people here tell you that your website isn't the best thing since sliced bread and now even your website is attacking you!

At least you are sensible enough to be running a virus checker.

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting the hell out of 150m here soon. I'm going to email their support and stop working on my site until it's finished. Might just switch hosts...

Quote: "And you've seen people being flamed for this kind of thing (crap websites) before, so why, WHY do you people do it. WHY"


That was uncalled for really. I am merely trying to improve upon what I have done, and hopefully obtain some help at getting more content. So I don't see how your post (other than the validator) does anything other than ruthless flaming at a ligit thread. You're flaming me for asking for help, and nothing I've done here has claimed it to be a good site. Hence I am trying to improve it.


[EDIT] And I'm working on the content thank you very much...

IC: He kind of has a point though... Allbeit a slightly harsh and bitter one.

You posted a site which is clearly not finished or polished yet. What exactly did you expect?

My advice for people who are starting out with website design is "before you start, stop"... Take a look around the web. Find a few sites you like and a few you hate. Look at them. Why do you hate/like them? What exactly is it? Why are some easy to navigate and some hard?

Once you know exactly what makes a good site, you suddenly find its much easier to make your own.

I also fin that using extreme's of colours (such as #FF0000 on #000000 with some other text near it being #00FF00) makes for a nasty looking site. Do a little research on Complimentary colours and colour wheels, etc. Try to pick a colour scheme involving a few colours (maybe no more than 3 or 4) and stick to using them for consistency (maybe vary them slightly for shadow/highlight).

Pick a page template and try to stick to it - that always helps.

Do you know and PHP? If not, I'd advise learning it - it makes templating REALLY easy. You can make one file called "header.php" and include that in all pages and it will mean every page has the same header. VERY usefull if you want to change something in the header or navigation (if thats in the header).

A lot of this I learned while I was going along. My current site is about the 9th incarnation of it, while the new one I'm working on (after learning a LOT more about design, etc) is the 10th...
current: http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk
new: http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/new/

Stick at it - but next time you ask people for their opinion on your site, you might want to be more prepared to take the rough with the smooth

@Nicholas: For the most part your new layout is looking good but change the link colors to something that is easier to see with that color scheme. Though I expect/hope you already planned on doing that.

Cheers - The links are on my to do list, but I want to get the layout and colouring of all that lot sorted and then I can chose font colors, etc.

@Lukas - nice new site! Only slight issue I have (using Firefox 1.5) is that there are a few buttons which have been placed on top of a border and due to the z-depth of the button, they're overwriting the border... Kinda looks wierd to me, see screenshot

My issue with colors is I'm partly colorblind and colors don't look the same to me. Any suggestions of a good color scheme until I get comfortable with what people like and dislike?

http://www.colormatch.dk/

Try that (in IE only, poorly made javascript) and try the color: #AOAEEE. The first color of the 6 is the one you pick with the sliders, it then picks 5 other colors to go with it based on complimentary colors (I think)...

EDIT: Btw: I dont know if anyone opened my new site through IE, but I use CSS to show an extra panel at the top right to recommend firefox. It works by using a CSS rule which IE doesn't recognise, so in effect, IE's crappines make it advertise another browser (I just like the irony more than anything else )

I don't think this thread has a constructive use for me anymore...I'm done with it, gonna start over on site, get a new host, get real content up, make the message boards, and then when I have been excessively harsh on myself as to meet standards here, I will post...I figure a few months of work and I'll be able to post it.

And the right answer to my questions would be to stop being arrogant (myself) and go find an HTML tutorial and learn what I haven't been.

And I thought I was the only webmaster that did that, lol. More than the HTML, it's the CSS I have to keep looking up.

tell me about it... I'm always getting things mixed up.. The other day I waster a good 15 minutes on:
background-url: image('test.png');

Couldn't figure out why it wasn't loading an image!! I wish FF has a CSS parses in it, like the JS debugged at the top right..

I also use the MSDN Web developers Library - its VERY useful!
