Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

That's pretty good work! If I had to make a suggestion though, it would be to use your space a little better. At the moment the home page looks a little lopsided with all of the content on the left. Scratch has everything centered with plain space around it, and sites like Google or Facebook do a good job of using the entire screen. I recommend either of those.  wink
Edit: here's a picture to see what i mean. On the top is the original site, on the bottom is the site with another <center> tag.

Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

I'd recommend not using center tags at all and just using some margin:auto

When I use margin it screws up the upcoming thing.

Well, you still shouldn't use center tags. They're deprecated.

Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

The new color scheme is nice now, but I might find a different text color because whit against such light colors is hard to see.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

Looks pretty nice for a beginner (which I assume you are). I haven't seen the old layout but the current one looks good - only complaint I have is that the left nav bar is quite hard to read, due to you using a light cyan BG with white text. All the other nav bars look fine, you could change it to that color.

I should look a little more into intermediate HTML and CSS, but CodeAcademy only has the very basics and as for W3Schools... Well, there's a whole site pointing out it's faults.

(...) It is a good habbit to always open and close tags (...)

Code:

<html>
<head>
<!--this is where head scripts would go
<body>
<h1> and body scripts would go here </h1>
<hr>
</head>
</body>
</html>

Isn't this necessary, more than a habit? You can't put the close tag wherever you want either - in your code you're putting the body inside the head, and closing the head before the body.  hmm  Might be that I'm used to scripting/programming languages (Lua, Java), so I'm not sure if this can be done in HTML, but I believe that isn't very good practice either  tongue

Code:

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

That's better. c: funelephant's page's source code looks fine to me using Inspect Element, though.

Yeah  tongue
It got deleted, so I re-programmed the whole front page in like 5 minutes.

I already had the CSS though  tongue

Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

I figured out how to embed the funelephant forums into the website!

If you post from the website link, it will show up on the original punbb-hosted forums!

And vice versa.

Re: New Website (100% started from scratch!)

Nice website! I would suggest adding something like

Code:

#wrapper {
    width: 1024px;
    margin: 0px auto;
    text-align: center;
}

to your CSS and placing everything inside your body tag inside a div with the ID "wrapper".  smile  This will give your website a standard width. Also, remove all of the center tags: this code does that too.  smile
