jeffman Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's cute. The curve is nice. But the header image is HUGE. Took forever to download. If you add a black background to the original, you get the same effect, but you can save it as a PNG-8 in 20KB instead of 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper23 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's too pink! It's blind me! ARGGHHH"Would you rather hear someone say, "It's too pink, it excites me?"Could help it. It looks alright to me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetrooper9494 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I personally don't like the color. AT ALL. The rest of the layout is nice though. I liked the curved top, I would suggest using blue instead of pink still, but oh well. I would suggest some sort of image saying "Anmans Place" with the letters being cool shapes or something maybe.

Jerry62704 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 You have barely begun.Foremost, utilize HTML's built-in formatting tags (h1, h2, h3..., ul, li)h1, h2, etc are not formatting tags. They have a specific purpose and formatting isn't it. To be semantically correct, they should only be used for delineating sections of a page. Use css and the appropriate tag for formatting.

To be semantically correct, they should only be used for delineating sections of a page. Use css and the appropriate tag for formatting.I understand the fundamental argument there and concede that I may have misused the term "formatting".However, in this page, its content lends itself to displaying different sections with html tags as I've demonstrated. My example uses these tags for semantic structure, not just styling the text. This structure is CSS-neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This structure is CSS-neutral.I would do that, but it's too much work.Much easier to convert \nl to <br> then add <p>'s everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
global.user Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You'll never get anywhere if you dump everything you consider too hard, or too long to do.I remember visiting it a while ago and liked it (too pink but, anyway), but now it's all gone with that:Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/anmansplace.co.cc/index.php on line 37???

lucas22 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Header a bit big, curve is nice, not particularly fond of pink but thats cool if you're wanting it like that. How long do you suspect it will take you to finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeitspiffeh Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I know you said not to say that it was too pink and that it's blinding me.... because it is... I would offset that by putting a dark background for text in the big pink part. It's kinda simple and boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainsMirage Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The pink is too bright. I love pink, but the fushia did hurt my eyes. Go for a softer pink and make the text a dark pink or even a dark red. I like the curve you have. But you might want to fix your database. There is an error. Also use a more professonial looking font. That font makes your layout look like a child made it.
