Well, here goes. My site is not completely up yet. My previous host went down and I got approved here. I have a basic package and have applied for and been approved for an upgrade, but haven't had time to get everything in order to upload. Am revamping some of my pages, and that will take time. Give me an idea what you thing of what I do have up, will you please? I have taught myself html, so don't be too cruel on the negative comments. Suggestions will be appreciated. I have reduced the dpi to 72 on my graphics and have compressed what I could of my jpg files to decrease load time. However, some pages have a lot to load and will take extra time. I am having some issues with graphics on my site not linking for some people. This seems to happen Primarily for people who are outside the USA. If you experience this, PLEASE let me know. Web Sets by Donna dot com I am strictly an amatuer, but if you think I can help you with your personal homepage, please send me a PM. |

I'm not too sure that I'd call you an amateur, because you are really good. It nice to see some of the quality sites that look like they were made by real people. Since your's is so nice, and has lots of great stuff in it for people, it's an excellent addition to the web, as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, as far as amateurs go, I'd have to say that you are one of the best By the way - I'm up in Canada, and you're graphics all seemed to be showing up fine for me. |

Thats pretty nice. Id say maybe you should make the "enter site" button a bit bigger and more noticable on the 1st page.

I like the layout of your site, being it is a graphics site it should have a lot of graphics on show and I think you have done this successfully. One little thing I'd like to see is some sort of 'mouseover' effect on your text links. It's personal thing I guess, but I like to see something happen when I hover over a link. I think you should investigate the world of 'Cascading Style Sheets', these will help you a lot in the layout and formatting of your site.
Overall a nice job. By the way, if you're interested my site has a free banner rotation service for graphics related sites like yours. The banners are averaging 1500+ views a month, which can only help to promote your site. If you want to accept the offer, go to http://www.mudmall.com and click on the 'Banner Accounts' link. |

Id say maybe you should make the "enter site" button a bit bigger and more noticable on the 1st page. Seems I goofed by putting both sites in my signature. Now I don't know which site you reviewed. I meant to have you review: Web Sets by Donna dot com Come back please? QUOTE(Sarith Pallewela @ Jan 14 2006, 01:02 AM) No offence Mich but i saw your home page and was not very satisfied with the whole set up. Oops. Sorry you don't like my personal homepage. Suggest a new color for me and I will consider it. I made the mistake of including 2 sites in my signature. The one I really want a review on is Web Sets by Donna dot com Please come back? |

It's personal thing I guess, but I like to see something happen when I hover over a link. Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. Good idea. Will work on it after I get back from vacation. Need to take a rest from the cold weather here in Mich. QUOTE I think you should investigate the world of 'Cascading Style Sheets', these will help you a lot in the layout and formatting of your site. Am just starting to toy with css. Be patient with me and I will coming into the 21st century here soon. Teaching myself simple html has been an adventure. Getting lots of help from people like you on here. QUOTE By the way, if you're interested my site has a free banner rotation service for graphics related sites like yours. Thank you for this kind offer. I didn't think my site was worthy. I may take you up on this. Do you charge for this? I don't have any trouble linking back to your site with a small graphic button. Do you require it be put in a specific place? BTW I love your site!!!!! Took a look the other day and was really impressed. |
