Get a different banner.

Get rid of those blank pages (Hall of Fame)

Thats about it.

Umm, Actually the screenshot is what It's going to look once I upload it, and I want some design ideas on that.. The website thats up now I've had enough of.

EDIT: Remade the shoutbox, it will look better with new look.

Find some good dragon images! The banner and stuff just "sucks"... Also you definitely need a better background, because it's to difficult to read with this one wink.gif

It took a while to read "navigation bar" also...

Forum on the other hand looks really nice, the background is perfect and stuff tongue.gif

.. Does no one listen? The website I put up isnt what I want people to rate, its the screenshot. Thats what the next version of website will look like, and I want tips on that. I know the old version sucks terribly and is outdated, I'm making it more starcraft oriented and better for eyes. Please rate the website in screenshot, not the website itself.

EDIT: I uploaded the new look, now you can rate the website itself biggrin.gif

That means less to-do's, but doing that makes it seem unprofessional. I could have kept it like it was half a year ago if I wanted it to have tons of dragon pictures.

Edit: Now I uploaded everything.
Can someone check if their mouse thingie changes? I can't check because the mouse thingie that should appear on the website is my default.
Oh, and scroller should be different.

I really need a good text tool. Any ideas what I can use to make it better?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mp(U) on 2005-12-06 at 16:27:26
it can be better, but it's an awsome start. When i first started making web sites.. mine looked almost exactly like yours.. the links on the left hand side and the main content box in the mid. Eventually, you should get into photoshop and dreamweaver to create really interesting looking web pages. A color scheme would be good as well. right now the dominant colors are black and somewhat orange and white text.. which is good, but with some creative experience, you will eventually find out how to make it look better yourself, which is the awsome part about experience! =) start working on different layouts and color schemes if you want to get into the field of web design. good start man.

Theyre right.
1: The text and picture doesnt blend well.
2: You need dragon images.. It's all about the dragons. Silver Dragon yur banner used to be a dragon more dragons.
And please don't try to answer me in a way that will umbarrass both of us

Well I don't know if this will 'umbarrasses' you, but it won't 'umbarrasses' me.
I already got a 'text and picture doesnt blend well' message, give more details.
Dragon images, though fitting with name, make a website look unprofessional, which I dont want. Its all about professionality.

Are you trying to pick a fight or something?

A website doesnt have to look good?
What quantity? I'm going for quality anyway. Please be more clear on what you're saying.

This is retarded. D)s-202, great wisdom can be achieved from watching a simple movie "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." - Thumper in Bambi

As for Silver-Dragon, the website is good, room for improvement but you have potential. One thing I noticed right away was your top header is not set to "0" so there is a black line across the top so the planet is not connected to the top of the page.

Another thing, you might consider. While using PHP 'is cool' and I encourage it, as it is the next step from HTML, just adding the tag .php to the end of the tag is not really utilizing it in the sense as - is it worthwhile? (Might as well use .htm)

You may consider using an index.php and including files using PHP.

www.pixel2life.com is a website I have always used for my graphics and PHP handbook. Find a tutorial on includes.

Keep working at it and you will get better, I can affirm that. You might have seen my work progress as I've done all the (U) sites...
Actually, here is my most recent creation Reckless Ambition (WoW Guild) I hope you take this as an encouragement. My intention is nothing else.

1 thing, why dragon pics make your website look unprofesional?

You drove him away <> . <>
I know that the top isn't completed, Its the table border. Without it, the rest of the site looks terrible, and with it, that happens. I think thats what it is, anyway.

I used index.html, but I use javascript to redirect. I couldnt find anything to let me change the default page, and this works fine. I use PHP include, its best way to edit when I add a page, I have 3 things using include. the PHP isn't just for fun.
I'm still learning Javascript and PHP, and I never said it was a great website. I just wanted a few tips on improvement that won't be 2 difficult.

Just in case you think to judge me by my website, I'm only 13.
I'm the only person in my class who knows how to use HTML, and one of about 5 who know what html is. Give me 2 more years and some experience in high school, and I'll be making websites more seriously. And maybe some programs. biggrin.gif
