This is the html version of the site, as I have my own domain yet and when finished will be done in PHP.

So this is the new idea new idea its a funny picture site, but I can only post a couple of pictures on this server its on, they should all be connected so you go round n circles for now Smiling

the old site was very popular, was hosted on free servers but they keep closing them down, the pages are there (and layouts graphics) but none of the actual funny picture pages are there.

One thing I'm unsure about is the listings on pictures, new idea uses thumbnails but there would end up being about 4000+ of them (spread out of course, something like 20+ to a displayed page)

Doh! forgot to change the link colors, oh well give ya something to mention Smiling

Forget the critique!! I wanna see the R-rated pics. :ezbill:

PINK LINKS!!!! GEEZE!
Pink links
pink links
busys got pink links.

The first thing that I noticed is on the outside part of the gold border you can see the blue stripped background and it isn't lined up with the main background. Can you get rid of the blue part around the gold border? Sure you can....what am I thinking??? DUH

I am not sure about the rust color of the background. But I don't know what color to recommend either so I best keep my trapper shut. hehehe The more I look at it the more it grows on me though.

Your title needs to stand out more (in my most humble opinion)The gray is a wee bit blah.

I want to see the R pics!!! Hurry up and finish.

Thats why I put it up here, I've looked at it to much and kinda like it, but at first thought it was really blah.

As well as forgeting to do the links (page was purple), I forgot the titles and meta tags.

the blue/black striped background is really dark on my pc, I saw the misalignment but figured no one would notice, I guess I was wrong lol.

I want to keep the most of it a lil blah, so then the not so funny pictures may look better.

Nice site, I too can't wait till it's finished and has R-rated pics up!! Wink

I too am not sure about the colours. I like the layout although I wouldn't have the stripes, just keep it a solid colour. Logo could maybe be a different colour also.

I would also have the text in veranda/ariel to make it easier to read.

Good job Laughing out loud

That's just what I was going to say. How many times to we have to say this? Sans serif fonts for body text. Sans-serif (BTW, speaking of fonts, there's a long typography tutorial on Webmonkey this week in case anyone's interested. I plan to read it when I get a chance)

I'm not sure about the rust colour either. I would try to redden it up just a little bit. I also think the logo could use some work. Maybe try to find a little icon or something to spice it up a bit, and try something other than the metalic look. Another thing to do is set a maxwidth to your table - at 1152 it's too wide. Does maxwidth work in IE6? It works in mozilla/NS6. I'll have to test that.

disaster-master and The Webmistress I'm a lil concerned about you two Laughing out loud hehe
I accidently left the fonts at default, I always use verdana.

I may have to change the name of the site anyway, I've used humour4u for a few years now but someone has taken the domain, as well as humor4u and added a really crappy index page with nothing else.
I didnt mean for the logo name to be chromeish, its just grey with a bevel on it.

Megan, the table width was a concern, the old site worked around the displayed image size, so may do that again (just dont use a table width)

Instead of the striped background am thinking a wood grain, an old rustic looking thing with bright and fun pictures ...

OMG whats that tune I hear? "They're coming to take me away haha hehe to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time, the men in their big white coats ...."

I like whats goin on so far. But that brown back ground(or whatever color that is) is a little odd looking. It almost doesn't clash, I would try some other colors with it. But keep the others like the blue background and gold border.

And are you gonna keep the links simply text or are u gonna work them into the border somehow?

OK Disaster-master and The Webmistress I hunted this site down for you, its some really nice xxx pictures, you wont be disappointed Laughing out loud http://free-xxx-pics.de/ (its suitable for all sexs and ages)

Z28cam, I'll probably leave them text links, but different color of course Smiling, I havent compressed whats there yet, but since its going to be graphic after graphic think the text links would help loading times. not sure - who knows lol, colors for a site without a theme are hard, i want blah but a nice blah.

I have a few ideas, so hopefully in a day or three I'll have the changes up.
