Welome to TWF, we do ask that you participate in the other threads of the critique section, so I look forward to reading your comments on others sites.

I have just tried to look and it wouldn't display so the server must be down or whatever so I'll try again later.

I just want to start by saying that I really like your colour scheme, except for the green. Lose the green and keep the dark blue with orange and yellow - that would look great.

As for what you want on here I guess it's up to you to interpret some meaning in your domain. Too Busy For You.... hmmmm.... I'll think about it and get back to you.

The hardest, or at least one of the hardest things for making a web site is content.

I's loose the "to busy for you", if someone said that to me i'd tell em where to get off and go somewhere else. (yeah I know, I'm a grumpy young fart)

you must of changed it since Megan posted, as I only see a dark blue background with super bright green and 2 shades of super bright orange.

I would loose the clock in the status bar too.
no right clicks are just a waste of time.

I usually dont point out spelling errors as I'm probably one of the worst spellers here, but you have a typo in your meta tags, you have "guestbbok"

looking at your source code I just noticed you had text on your site (and i'm using IE) you have the bgcolor and text color the same.

you also have the javascript between the /body and /html tags, move it above the /body tag.

Sites can be about anything these days, I started making a fake e-commerce site about belly button fluff (needed a topic) but actually found a lot of sites about this topic - the world is a very strange place lol

You have more than one title tag... in IE4.0 the title of your site is "No Link Lines!"

In NS4.6 (Mac) the alignment is whacked.

The logo is jagged looking and the slight green gradient in it just doesn't look good to me.

>>whenever i tried to open my site its ok... but when i tried to link some of my images from my site in another forum it's brocken images.<<

Probably because when *you* view it, it's coming from your browser's cache?

Frankly, if you don't have a topic for your site, why make one? If you just want to build a site, find a charitable organization or such to donate your services to. (I volunteer as webmaster for a USAF veterans association and it's a tremendously rewarding and personally satisfying thing to do.)

If your site is strictly for family/friends, then any kind of hodgepodge is acceptable... here is my dog, here is where I live, here are my favorite links, etc.

But if you want a site to draw wider traffic, I think the key is having a tighter focus. Do you have a hobby or interest that you're passionate about? If so, build around that and try to make it a place that others with the same interest would want to visit and bookmark.

Or you might want to give Busy some more competition in the belly button fluff arena! Smiling

Good luck!

Since the color scheme and html text errors have been addressed I will refrain from commenting on them. I do have one question though, and that is, "what does the site do now?" I sign up for an account, but what kind of account. As stated earlier, content is important. Personally what I would do with the webpage, since it seems to be a fun webpage, I would make a jokes page. I can see myself going to your site to read jokes as to why people are too busy your me.

Why get this domain?? Most people come up with an idea for the site then get a domain to suit the subject!!

I would say what you put here depends on what you want out of it. Practice for site building - make a personal page, something for a wider audience - a hobby site, something to get traffic and be useful - you need an end product whether it's free stuff or information.

The site as it stands now is certainly colourful but the green on the links doesn't work against the orange at all as I have to really squint to read it & the logo needs work on it too.

To be honest, when I first saw 2bc4u I didn't get it. My first impression was "too B.C. (before Christ) for you" and I went, "Huh?" I realize you're from Indonesia, but in the U.S. we pronounce it bizzy, not bissy.

And [=009999] is really hard on these old eyes. Smiling
