Is that you first try? I wil also be putting my first site in about 3 weeks (Getting HomeDSL384 and getting 10mb webspace with it)

Not my first site, but my first PHP and MySQL site.

Nice!

The logo at the top is awesome. The site loads fast (unlike mine,

)and works great! Just a more graphical elements and it will be awesome. Oh btw, is that ad suppose to be in the middle or did I change my IE settings again...

I don't think there's anything wrong with the address, seems normal to me.

Oh btw, how does one do a search function for one's site. I'm trying to do one for mine. Preferably something easy. I know how to search for elements in java and in sql but to get it to work on a site. Hmm.... using asp? Or not necessary?

Thanks, it was just a quick throw together using PhotoShop

LOL. It uses the Smarty Template engine, which is very fast. And the server is a fast server.

What kinda graphical elements?

neon wrote:Oh btw, is that ad suppose to be in the middle or did I change my IE settings again...

Yes it is, if i place it at the top the site looks really bad.

I found a PHP search script, it looks into your html files for the string (Doesn't help when the entire site is in SQL). I'm going to write a SQL/PHP search script soon (As soon as my exams are over), i'll tell you when it's done.

Edit: Just fixed the quotes

I never chose the template, i made it myself.

Click on "troop" then "back to home", EASY!

simmy wrote:eh! It works in FireFox

Well, it better

Thats what i did most of the testing on!

simmy wrote:Was dit opsetlik in daardie kleur gedoen?

Well, i kinda just copied the ad from the hosters (It's a requirement) and haven't bothered changing the colour (I have now)

Yeah, mine doesn't load slow 'cos of ther server. My server is also fast, just I have too much flash elements and all take up about 200K each. He he.

jedi wrote:What kinda graphical elements?

Umm.. like flash buttons, little applets, maybe some nice little photoshop icons for down the side bar. Just ideas.

Have you got a link for that PHP search script. Can I make it search for files as well? I need do some serious work on my site as well, after exams.

Um, i don't think its long. And its not a "redirection company" its a professional hosting service that offers a free service on the side lines (They started as a free hosting service) URL: http://www.ineedhosting.net And last year they had an uptime of 99% (This includes a 4 hour long DoS attack against them)

zoopedup wrote: why dont u spend R80 a year and get a .com / .net? add a profesional touch..

Cause we don't got R80 a year. We're a non-profit organisation whose annual income is about R2000

@Neon:
The reason i don't have those "graphical elements" is:
1. I can't stand flash buttons
2. I can't stand little applets
3. I haven't had the time to fiddle in photoshop yet
And imho flash/applets make a site slow and makes it look unprofessional.

I'll set up a site after the exams with all of my scripts on, and i'll post it here, once i've done my search script i'll post it there too. I have no idea where i found the script, just google for "Free PHP Scripts" and look at some of those sites, i'm sure you'll find something there.

cool bro thats gr8.... i must admit is isn to long but it is hard to remember "ws4f.us" could confuse a few ppl... the domain reminds me of a spammers email addie....

this is just my opinion ....good luck with your site.

How about trying some other redirection services if you really cant afford a domain. www.dot.tk has proved to be "reliable" and very short/easy to remember.. use it dont use it

like www.irenetroop.tk (however, it does add a banner popup to ya site)

I can like to be using flash objects.

JEdiWaNNaBE just check your spelling / grammar, for example

"This page provide all the information that" - "S" missing from Provide

or

"Well done for find this site" - should be finding....

Just my thoughts....

Thanks. I'm a bit slack on my spelling, i'll quickly change it. He He, the wonders of a sql powered site
