A fan archive site, nothing too spectacular, since I'm just an beginner HTML user and total blonde when it comes to creating graphics.
It's not even a quarter finished, so expect to hit alot of dead ends when you start clicking links.
But the reason I want people to look at it is 'cause I'm up in the air about the number fo different backgrounds. Should I use a variety and risk looking tacky, or keep to on or two and risk being boring?
Advise, people...please!!!

hmmmm, we sorta need your url to take look at it  

But let me offer this.........

I have been building sites for approx 5 years now....(not profesionally).

(unless it is a site that represents your buisiness)Its my opinion that a site should reflect YOUR personal preference's and if it looks tacky to someone else....too bad!

If there comes a point of time that YOU become dissatisfied with the way it looks.....then POOF...change it :-)

Heya Anatinea,

First thing I love is the last updated date.

LOL, you are a futuristic grrrrl.

Once I entered your site, I saw a heap of links to the left, but not much else.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to add your introduction text in that space, so you grab ppl's interest immediately and they know what your site is about.

Your intro and site map page I get an error 404.

In your profiles page, the 2 images aren't loading.

Library and gallery pages look great!

The links off the gallery page give me a 404 tho.

Puckworld-Info and Stats, The Cartoon Series, About the Creator, Shadowlands Music, and e-mail links all give me a 404 error page.

Your guestbook and read guestbook links are not working at all.

I love the way your links change colour on mouse over.  That's good work!

Basically, your index page is fantastic!  The graphics are terrific.  Really slick looking.

Perhaps do a little more work and submit your site for review then.

Don't put yourself down or call yourself a dough head.  You are giving it a go.  You should be commended for that.

By the way, blondes aren't stupid.  Just look at one of our forum mods, Lee.  She's exceptionally clever.  It's not about hair colour, it's about confidence.

Well done

aye....

when i'm at the point you are in putting a site together, I concentrate on getting everything linked up and working..(pages linked) then i go back and start clicking thru the pages and start making changes as suit my preference for continuity/navigation ease of use etc etc...

If it is a site with alot of page as yours seems to have....I may do this for several days untill i get the feel for just how i want it...

you will find that this will become a never ending past time....depending on your level of commitment.

ok heres the deal
if you want a background its got to be light color and black text or the other whay around u got to have a background that looks goon on text

also u might not need a backgound if u got lots of pictures

also u could trie frames looks like the layout u used frames could do good

the FAQ page looks very nice

Thank you everybody for your compliments, advise and criticisms. *gush*

I've just fixed/added/moved/etc. a whole bunch of stuff, so you will be able to see a lot more than you did the last time you visited. However, it's five o'clock in the morning now, and I'm beginning to see two monitors. LOL So, there's still a alot that doesn't work. And I haven't gotten to the Profile page yet and I've just discovered that folders only allow 1 MB of stuff in them, so half the links in the Gallery *still* don't work. Damn. :P And I might get rid of the "Music" link, since I'm not allowed to upload .mp3's on a free account. (I suppose I *could* get a paid account, considering the amount of stuff that's going onto it, but I think I'd have to move all my stuff again...*sob*)
Oh man, now I can't remember what I was going to say next. I'll let you know when I get some more stuff done....
