136420 2003-04-17 04:55:00 To many words in the heading. I can guess it's a home page. :D
Spelling: "opion". Uncertain tense: "This page is was". The "Under Construction" thing is probably not needed. ;-)

I'd suggest marking links to non-existent, or "Under Construction" so people don't link to them until they are ready. You probably want the links there for your testing, but you could have a temporary divider in your links frame separating "Released" and "Not Ready" pages. That way anyone who does get a 404 or empty page has noone to blame.:D

136422 2003-04-17 05:36:00 noted and fixed.

I will be uploading new version of the site through the weekend.

136423 2003-04-17 05:39:00 Derek,

You have started, and that is great. Now you know you can make a web page, and will have a new sense of achievement. We all have to start somewhere, and as you become more proficient your pages will improve. Keep experimenting. Rome was not built in a day.

136424 2003-04-17 06:01:00 I started learning HTML a few months ago. It was frustrating at first, but the more I did it the more things made sense. Now I have this website (http://blundin.orcon.net.nz), made completely (well, almost completely) in notepad. The site actually has no purpose - it is only there for me to test out my HTML. ;-) flyer590 (2523)
136425 2003-04-17 06:20:00 Well done. Was it hard, how long did it take? (about to try my hand at a web page myself).

When do we get to read the rants :)

Cheers

136426 2003-04-17 06:50:00 I suggest... Ditch the frames, and remove the counter - they're both graphic examples of amateurism in site design. Frames also have the negative effect of decreasing your site's chances of being found by any search engine crawler.

Good luck with the development - it's a fantastic new media out there just waiting for you. I recall all the blood, sweat and tears I had when I first started out on homepage creation - man, it was so heady I'd be up at 4:30AM to try out something I knew could be done, but buggered if I could get it to work! lol

136427 2003-04-17 06:58:00 the page so far has only taken a few hours to make.

Ditch the frames?? how do i get a static section on the top and the left with out frames?

and the counter? I want a way to keep track of how many hits i get.

Why don’t you move it to the left hand side of the website not in the middle????
