Hmm, your sig still points to truefusion.vze.com. Might wanna fix that.

First things first: No firefox support?? That just decreased your rating down a bit.

Splash page? Why? Showing off skills? It's not really needed, and it's a little bit cliche.

The layout itself is pretty good. Nice colors overall. The banner at the top seems a little blank. Try moving the words "TrueFusion" to the center, so that it won't look empty.

I like how the trap17 button depresses once you mouse over. Perhaps consider using that effect for the navigation buttons. And the empty box next to "Webby" looks like a search box. Try moving the Google search box there instead.

Lastly, don't tell me that this is a template that you got from somewhere else...

That's why I think that you did not make this.

Anyway, the layout itself is pretty good, but since it only works in Internet Explorer, I'll give it a 2.9/5

Lol, yea, but firefox doesnt support css that microsoft came up with (or at least i think they dont O_o). Which i find very useful.

[1]And are most of friends here at trap17? I don't care whether you delete the vze account or not. I was just telling you to change the link in your sig. When someone here clicks on your sig, it goes to truefusion.vze.com instead of truefusion.trap17.com. Got it?

[2]What kind of CSS are you talking about? Firefox is very good at rendering CSS. Are you talking about the amateurish scrollbars? If you are, then it's a pretty lame to restrict access to only one browser because you want everyone to see the scrollbars. How about this? Leave the scrollbar code there, and if one is on Firefox, then they can't see it, and they're missing out.

[3]How about show off the hard work some place else? You could make a flash banner instead. Replace with a Flash one instead.

[4]And it loaded very fast. Very good.

[5]Er, the buttons "SITE", "MEDIA", "I.ACTIVE", and "WEBBY" do not depress at all when you mouse over them. Mouse over the GET TRAP17 button. See how it moves like that? Now mouse over "SITE" or "MEDIA". You don't get the same effect.

[6]Then change the code. Google gave you a code. You can modify it anyway you want. I modified mine: http://sang.trap17.com/g4m3s/

[7]Okay, then put your name on it if you want to prevent rippers from stealing your layout. Otherwise, leave it the way it is.

You seem to be using Firefox. I am sorry, but i want all features of my website to be viewed.
These features are not supported by Firefox. Please switch over to Internet Explorer, and try again.
If you're worried about security, you have nothing to fear. This website is 100% spyware free. All coding and activex objects were created by me. Besides, i am more worried about you doing damage to my site.Site only compatible with Internet Explorer.

I give you a 0/10 - I'm not even gonna bother with a site that denies me the use of my favourite browser, and don't be thinking that I'm in a minority to think that way.

Kinda invalidates any tutorials you might provide on HTML/CSS when you can't even get your site to validate properly

Only way it'll invalidate if you decide to use the ones where i mention that it may only work for internet explorer. And websites isnt all about validating html/css. People dont visit one's website just to validate their html/css. Plus, every browser follows the standards of html, and add their own. I dont really mention the ones for the other browsers cause i find the ones for IE more useful, and there are more of them.

QUOTE

(so does having Site only compatible with Internet Explorer/FireFox on the bottom of each page as well really).

I think i know why this happens, and my guess is cause since firefox is from mozilla, it sends 2 values to my script. One being "Mozilla", and the other being "Firefox". I'll add an else if to try and fix that problem.

Other issues:
Your header graphic doesn't match up with the content.
The stripey bar below the header is a different width from everything else as well and doesn't have closing borders right & left.

For example, you could add some screenshots or preview image for the Photoshop tutorials. The HTML will not validate correctly. You need to put a doctype in there somewhere. Finally, the CSS and PHP tutorials are way too basic. I've been to dozens of sites that offer scrollbar effects and PHP include tutorials.

As for the basic tutorials, i am working on some advanced tutorials, hopefully covering almost everything about the subject. But you have to know the basics before going into advanced work.

For everything else, i'll consider changing the links, so it doesnt appear onclick, for the firefox version. I cant test out everything for the firefox version, cause i dont have firefox installed, anymore. So all testing is based on how i look over the coding (fixed banner problem, btw). Thanks for your help.

Now that it finally supports Firefox, I'll rate it according to what I see:

The banner doesn't work. The navigation is unique, but it totally screws up the site layout when you click on it. Also, Google will have a hard time indexing your site since the hyperlinks on the navigation is "javascript:void(0);". Why not just make a normal normal links? The tutorials are good, but they could be improved. For example, you could add some screenshots or preview image for the Photoshop tutorials. The HTML will not validate correctly. You need to put a doctype in there somewhere. Finally, the CSS and PHP tutorials are way too basic. I've been to dozens of sites that offer scrollbar effects and PHP include tutorials. Try something new.

The splash page is a bit plain.

Layout: 5/10 - Navigation links messes up the layout. The text is also a bit on the small side. Shoutbox won't expand on click
Content: 2.5/10 - (PS tutorials are nice, but the rest are not, so 1/4 or 2.5/10)
Originality: 6/10 - Tutorials are plain
Coding: 5/10 - tables for layout

4.6/10

   provides a service of some sort to people. There are millions of blogs, I really don't want to
   post about my life on a daily basis anyway. All ideas will be welcomed, I can't seem to think
