I am not really sure what other people do, but this is what I do. I do a quick sketch on paper to get the basic layout of the design, then I create the design in Photoshop, so you can make the whole design in one document. Then I cut out and save the images as needed for the design to be coded. As if you the design bit by bit, then it just makes it harder for you to look at the overall effect of the design. This is because when people do that, they tend to drag the design down by focusing too much on the user experience, whereas you need to create a design that is stylish...and easy for the user to use. Good theory. I like it. Nice job, again.

I prefer that one MUCH more.

Maybe a gradient from black to white on the right? Not sure how that would look. I prefer to use 3-4 fonts on my pages, but I suppose you could get away with your two. No other thoughts now, I can't critique the content or spelling since I don't know *insert language here*

The only thing is maybe some font variety since all one font is a little bland. Also, the whole site may look nicer with a background graphic on the right or a centered layout since it is all shifted on the left and the right side is really empty. Nice job.

I liked the way it looked in the image. Sleek, easily navigable. (PS Do people usually make an image of what they want their site to look like, or is that personal preference? 'cause that's a really good idea. )

So lets say I had a shopping list. <xml _____ (the rest of the tag here)> <listname>Shopping List</listname> <list> <item>Banana</item> <item>Apples</item> <item>Milk</item> </list> What would this look like in a browser? Just default text on a white background, right? Can't you style it or anything? I read that it's for displaying info.....but I'm still a little bit confused.

I don't want to do anything with it now, I wanted to know what I could do with it in the future. Other than RSS feeds.

Right now, from what I've seen, I don't think anything should be centered except the links in the navigation table. If you have a whole bunch of content just centered all the time in gets sloppy or hard to read, centering should be used a little. I guarantee if you ask anyone on the forum they will say not to center all of your content like it is now.

I've read that, but why can you make up your own tags since none are predefined?

I know that you can use XML for RSS Feeds and stuff, but what exactly does RSS do other than that? I don't understand how it's just a code where you can make up tags and stuff.

Is there a way to make a session expire in a certain amount of time?

Well, don't left-align everything, but don't make everything centered either. Centering everything without reason is a little annoying. If your first language is not English, then sorry for being mean about spelling, but you should try and use a dictionary or a spell-check for those of us who do have English as a first language. There is nothing showing up on the home page when I click the link. It just says "Nuclear Invasion" in bold....that's why I can't critique it. Click the link you gave and see.

The Critique I personally don't care for the website design at all. Home Page: well, I can't critique nothing. Register Page: I don't care for the text. It moves too fast to the point that I need to wait for it all to stop before I can read. I don't think it adds anything, and I do think it detracts a little. - When you need to choose a country, I don't like the centered list. Having a left-aligned list with flushed text would be much more....appeasing. - Try and style your forms so that the input fields don't overlap with each other. That makes it looks sloppy, and there is also an uneven margin between inputs. -When someone registers, don't make them write the name of the nation they just picked a couple of minutes ago. Start a session on the previous page for their choice, and then make that the value of the input field on the next page. Also, to resist tampering from the average person, make the input readonly. - When I registered nothing happened. Login: When someone makes an error, don't say anything about having an error in the database. That means nothing to anyone who doesn't know PHP (or another server-side language). Overview (after logging in): Make the images an equal size or it looks messy (like now). It goes from large to medium, large to small, medium -> small, etc. -Control is spelled like that, not controll. About: -This page had a few typos, and it's all centered. Forum: Don't say "The forum isn't set up yet." say something less disappointing like, "Forum Under Construction!". - Layout There is uneven spacing, a lack of appealing contrast, and terribly uneven margins. There could be a lot more done with this site, all it is is simple tables and some white text. Not to mention, Times New Roman font looks too plain. Try something different maybe? - You may think centering everything is a trendy style, but it's annoying and not trendy. Center things where they need centering, not just for the fun of it. - Why are all the inputs and textareas CENTERED?! That's just not right!! I hope this helps you with maintenance.

Why would I want that?

What will this do? Doesn't robots.txt stop robots from crawling? Also, I will implement that function, thanks.

I have a code that seems to execute, and it creates the needed .txt file, but it will not write my information to the file. I was hoping someone could help me out. <?php if(isset($_POST['send'])){ $name=$_POST['name']; $email=$_POST['email']; $subject=$_POST['subject']; $body=$_POST['body']; $bodysec=stripslashes($body); $date=date("D, M d, Y"); if(!$name || !$email || !$subject || !$body){ echo "<div class='error'>You did not fill in all required fields.</div>"; } else{ $contact = "contact.txt"; $message="Message From: ".$name."<br/> Subject: ".$subject."<br/> Message: ".$bodysec."<br/> This was written on: ".$date."<br/> Reply to ".$email."<br/><br/>"; fopen($contact, "a"); chmod($contact, "777"); fwrite("contact.txt", $message); echo "<div class='success'>Successfully sent. Please be patient, now.</div>"; fclose($contact); } } ?>

Try starting the session (session_start() ) at the very beginning of the code...

That's disappointing. Well, thanks for straightening this out, guys.

Oh, well no wonder I couldn't view it. Anyone know when CSS3 will be current?

Nice I like that better except for that random pink HISTORY button.

CSS3 is the current version, yes?

Do you want a critique of how it looks or how it works? The latter means it should be in Beta Test Your Stuff.

@Marquee: I just added that last night to see what it would look like. I dunno if that's a matter of personal preference, but I'll try and shift things so that I don't need it. @Content: I am not in charge of the content because I am working on this in collaboration with someone else, while I could add some content, he is in charge of most of it. But when it has content hopefully it will be enough to keep it interesting. What did you mean by fixed width? Just so that the main part of the page is centered more? Okay, thanks for the feedback!

This is just a question about border-image and it's related properties. Do they work? I was under the impression that they were still under construction by the CSS designer people. When I checked up on them it said that it wouldn't work until work on CSS(3?) was complete...I am confused.

Just an Update: I've modified the design A LOT. I managed to include (a little) typography to add some variety...and I have added more color, images, and I like where it is now.
