Please tell me what you think, a beginner

If this is your very first site then you'll go far, looks very professional.
I think you need to define the links more, they dont actually look like links until your over them.

Its a little slow in loading, and also a little jumpy.
it seems your site was made towards IE, in netscape 6 the mouse overs top left corner dont work, well the mouse overs work, the drop down doesnt and the table cell divider lines are on every second one, where they are every one on IE. the page contents also sits a lot lower in Net 6

I also looked at it using Netscape 4.7, the top ornage line doesnt line up, the top left section is a few pixels lower than the actual bar, the mouser overs and drop down works, well its there, it doesnt slide down like IE does.

the a:hover doesnt work in Net 4.7 so none of the links are underlined or look like links, the font looks like its times new roman.

alignment wise IE and Net 4.7 look similar, except the top banner in Net 4.7, Net 6 has a different look.

a few things but not much, keep it up, you'll go far

The background file and the graphics on the bar are the same heights,i still cant figure out why it doesnt show right no netscape 4.7, anyone have idea about this? sorry i asked questions like this, i'm a beginner

Very nice site. I can't believe this is your first attempt! Very professional looking but I agree with Busy that the main links need to stand out more.

Can you help us out by reviewing some of the other's sites in this forum please, a fresh pair of eyes is always good and you obviously have a good eye for design.

No way! This can't be your first site, you must be lying I don't believe you (no, I'm just jealous ).

This looks fantastic. I can't believe it. The only thing I can think of to add is page headers for the different channels so people know which one they're on. Excellent work!

well i'm not lying, i'm a college student which starting to have an idea to build a site like this, and finally i learned some php and a little bit of designing, i'm still learning though.

Thanks for the comment, i really appriciate it, as for the speed, i know the server are slow, looking for a new server though

Add a clear spacer the height of the mouseover images on the background section.

you have an image in there already but doesnt have width or height tags, also the p align ... isnt closed, if you dont need the space the p gives you, use align= in the td tag.

Also putting it on the same line with keep the table tight in Netscape.

oh and dont be sorry for asking questions, if we dont ask, we dont learn, theres no such thing as a silly question, just a silly answer.

thanks you , i've fix the channel selection on netscape 4.7, but still cant figure out a way to put the top header straight, i tried add width="30" after the background image still cant get it to work

Not too bad. You should add alt tags to all of your images. Some Linux Nerds still use Lynx to view webpages. The alt tag helps them figure things out a bit more. A few other things that might not appeal much to the Linux only crowd are the IE only things like colored scrollbars, mouseovers, etc. Normally I wouldn't worry about it but some would not like it much.

It looks very professional and clean. Some of it looks quite like SourceForge in spots but better.

Be careful also when you talk about Slackware

Quote: Slackware seems to be favorite among "cutting-edge hackers" who like being close to the operating system and hardware--we did not use it so this is hearsay. We would have trouble recommending Slackware for Linux newbies. Says Bill Staehle: "The real 'reason' for a newbie to avoid Slackware is that it is much more command line oriented, and lacks some of the 'cutsie slick and drool' tools that the other distributions have."

I run it on my server. The main thing that's harder is the install, since you have to use Fdisk or CFdisk. There are no rpm's which is a good thing IMHO. But I digress.

The code could be cleaned up a bit to remove some of the deadspace towards the end.

That's about it.

add border="0" to the table the top-bg01 background is on, netscape has a different default to IE, Netscape uses a default of 1, IE uses 0

if you always want tight tables, always use border, cellspacing and cellpadding = 0 (all three)

Great site having good content. As for going far, you got a ticket to build. Keep upthe good work so I can learn from you...lol

well, you cant really learn much from me since most of u guys r expert in design , i'm still learning the compatibility issue

by the way guys
what do u think abt my new logo?

nice logo

Yeah good logo but I don't know that the red in it goes that well with the orange on the site. Probably just me

it wasnt red, it was orange , but maybe the gif is bad
u guys really have a sharp eyes huh? hahaha

Could you remind me of what you had before? I think I liked the old one better.

Nice looking site...great info. One suggestion...it would be nice if your side panel text was one font size larger. Of course, I'm on an 8 by 16" screen.
