Review my site-www.jediliz.net
I would like my site reviewed, but there are
a few problems:
1. Currently, I can't access it by the domain name, I have to access it by the IP address
2. I am getting content (or trying to) so please don't say, "There isn't any content!"
3. The links probably won't work because of the access to the domain address
My site is a Star Wars fan page.
Another thing: I am not going to change the colors so they are more "starwarsy". I would prefer to keep the colors the way they are.
The site is http://www.jediliz.net
The IP address of my site is 208.56.160.133
I'd like comments on the design, and oh, yes, I know the poll's link is not working.
(The design, by the way, is actually modified heavily from a site template I found at [url]http://www.freesitemplates.com)[/url]

I need to scroll sideways in order to read the text. Maybe you'll need to do something about that.
Overall, the site looks quite plain and you need something to spice it up.

i guess you have 800x600 resolution.
Suggestions for spicing it up?
I will NOT: add flash, add java, or add more javascript. Those things crash browsers.

1) No logo? What the? You definitely need one.
2) You need to make the page so it doesn't scroll in 800x600 resolutions.
3) Heavily modified? What, did you take everything OUT of the template? Seriously, the design is soo plain it's annoying.
You need to do some work...

I took a few things out that I didn't need. I liked the way the menu was, so much that I used it and just moved it to the other side.
Okay, so I need to work on it. That is not so easy for me to do.

Why isn't it too easy for you to do? Need help with a logo? Post in the Jobs and Barter Forum; I'm sure someone would be willing to help you create a cool logo. Just keep trying. One of these days it'll all click...

I am getting a "page cannot be displayed" error on your site and on the template site.

Okay, well, I don't know why there is an error....it might be your browser.
Also, jackchen, I hopefully corrected the scrolling problem.
I will say this: I know I have a lot of things to improve on, just to let you know.
I'll work on getting a logo, whether created for me by someone or by me.
(Also, the freesitetemplates.com is not my site, its just a site that I found that had a lot of templates to use for free and I liked this particular one, and just heavily modified it so it would load faster and be able to handle my information)

I redid my site with a new template. The only thing I removed was the banner that was at the top. I know it looks fine in 800x600 because when I was editiing it, I was forced to use that resolution (long story...), but it looks fine. In fact, I think it looks better in 800x600 then 1024x768.
I added a new feature, a free for all links page. I am keeping the note about star wars sites only because I want to have star wars sites only, not get rich quick schemes or anything like that.
The site is at http://www.jediliz.net
(Even though the Bookstore has a link, its just something telling people that the bookstore is temporarily closed).
Okay, so if anyone is interested, review away.
I am now going to wait for the progress of the possibility of having a quiz so I can finally have a trivia quiz.
That would add content, I think.

I am closing the request for a review because
1) I don't want people criticizing that my design doesn't look like star wars (its a new template, different from the first post)
2) Because I obviously need to add about 75 images to make the site load in, oh, about 56 minutes instead of extremely fast for those who are very impatient.
3) Because some of the people in here don't understand that this is a one person run site, not a site like jedinet.com, which has several people working on it.
4) There are some reviewers who are really nice and give a nice honest opinion; there are some reviewers that think adding a logo and black background, and tons of other features would make me happy. There is also someone, I don't think it was in this forum, that suggested interviewing George Lucas himself.
Let me make one thing clear: that is not probable for someone like me.
Maybe I'll someday find a great template that I can use, but until then, this is the design I am using.
