For some reason, I've got something against the use of the Times New Roman font. For me it seems... too plain.

From looking at your website, I get this feeling that you're not quite sure what your website theme is (and therefore, you have little direction as to how your site should ultimately look like) or you haven't implemented everything yet (and therefore, we don't have an idea of what the ultimate layout is supposed to look like). If you haven't done so already, you should try designing a small storyboard so you have an idea of what you want to achieve when designing your website. If you did design some storyboard... can we see it so we can give more feedback on the layout? smile

Yeah, I agree. I know a lot of HTML, but I can't make a website without knowing what it is about

The Times New Roman font just looks terrible on WHITE.

But what, font cheddargirl?

Anyway, I'll write up some more info, work on adding MRN's buttons.

Are you sure you have the b1 button. I suggest making a css layout as another file so it isn't messy smile

I'm ditching the black layout for a while, working on the other stuffs first.

I put in a "Forum"
(since I can't get PHP working, I used iframes and embeded one on PunBB-hosting)

There's a link on the homepage, but a direct one here.

Looks a little more stylish now! I recommend using a navigation bar for the links(just a simple table).

You can do something like this

Code:

<table border="0">
<tr><td>Link 1 Link 2</td></tr>

</table>

You see, it's pretty hard to say here what would be a good font because I still have no idea what is the main idea of your website. ^^;

You don't have to stick with a white background if it doesn't flow well with your overall desired themes. If you think your website will do well with a darker color background, then go with a darker background. Just a fair rule-of-thumb: if you plan on going with a darker-colored background, use a light-colored font and make the text larger than you would with a light-colored background.

White = official-looking
Black = cool
Other colors = bloggish-looking

I'm not sure what gershmer wants though. xD But I'd stick with white in his place.

I've been busy lately, so I've not done anything really.

But a cool Classic ASP (meaning not the new Microsoft .NET version) page here with an interesting cookies script:

For some reason some people in this world (Not specifically you adrian, a lot of people) don't really understand what "do you mind" is. Mind means care in that context. Answering no means that you don't care if they use it, but some people take it as no, you can't do it. That's why I say, "No, [for this case it would be] you can use them."

As plain text (With a font and size, duh) or as a picture?

Either. I'd ask Nate3D to design a title if you are going with the picture. Otherwise, it's not a bad idea to use plain text with varied color.
