Sorry y'all. I'm not really web savvy. I just got a lot of WoT ideas and energy, and I wanted a place to put stuff up. I'll take care of them. Thanks for the info!

OK, on the next update (which will be within the next couple days, hopefully), I will have the links fixed, and the other stuff I had to do done. Hopefully it's all good. Sorry about the crappiness. Some people just shouldn't have their own website.

hey, take it as constructive criticism...the only way to learn is to do!

When Legends of Darkness first started there were many problems with it, but I got better by having people critique for me. smile.gif

No no, I'm not saying I'm hurt or offended or anything. I guess I'm just saying I'll probably make a lot of mistakes, and excusing myself for the already present ones. I'm not a web designer at all, but I hope that at least the content of the website's useful.

It's true. It takes a lot. Not that everyone should try, though. Please don't.
I just put a new feature in. I hope everyone likes it. Please lemme know what y'all think.

OK, how's this theme? Everything's different except the home page, so just click on a page and see how it looks.

This one's much easier to read.

OK, it's updated. Hopefully nobody else will have any problems with the way it looks. Lemme know if there's anything else I can do to make the site better. Thanks!

You're still commiting two very noteworthy mistakes of the beginer:
1. You have a horizontal scrollbar. I tell you again, GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!! Nothing detracts from a site quite like an extra scroolbar! It makes the site a hassle to view and the text difficult to read.
2. Visible borders. This isn't as important an error as the first, but it doesn't make you look very proffessional.

Is everyone else having the horizontal scrollbar? I'm not getting it. I'm not disregarding your advice, Axel, I just want to find out if the problem's the same with everyone.
As for the borders, I'll start making them invisible in future features. I don't really feel like going through and changing them all right now, but I will in future features. Thanks for the advice.

It's a function of screen resolution. You won't see one at 1152x864 (which I use at home) or 1280x1024 (which I use at work, because my work PC has an LCD). At lower resolutions (or in a less than full-screen browser window), you might.

standard practice for web development now adays is to build your page so that it looks its best at the 1024x768 resolution as that is the 'standard' right now. If you do that then any bigger resolution will still look good.

I design for 1024 x 768, but I make sure there's no horizontal scrolling at 800x600. Too many people still use low resolutions (or don't browse in maximized windows).

What you should do is use tags that define your structuring table as 100% of the available window, that way no matter what you do the horizontal bar should never appear.
If what I just said sounds like Greek to you, don't worry, just check this site:

That turns out to be quite difficult to do if you're trying for a reasonably professional looking site.

usually the 100% option is only viable if you dont have a lot of smaller cells in your table. The best bet would be to change your resolution on your personal PC to either 1024x768 (which is now the internet standard) or 800x600 (which is the old standard) and then rebuild the webpage so it looks right. you COULD set it up with frames so that the webpage always sits in the middle of the screen or set it up so that it defaults to the left side. I personally think the middle looks better but that's just me.

Frames are fairly easy to use TRW, and i'd be happy to build you a little template if its beyond your current skill level...
