I don't see Evilbore among the links. But the other two forums are... :banplz
-
I coded this site long before evilbore existed.

:elf
but it loaded up real quick for me. I like layout. I approve
-
Um... you need to work on it. A lot.
-
I'm aware. I imagine you looked at the code, being a web designer. :/
-
Got rid of a bunch of those white lines. Looking better I think.
-
Looking good. Red sites don't usually work, but this one definitely seems to. Don't use Flash for a banner, Flash sucks and the current banner is fine.
-
Hah finished!
I might make the background design a bit darker red, but the HTML is 100% W3C XHTML valid. Fixed the CSS so no white lines anywhere now.
Now to make a splash page and get to making some tutorials.
-
Pretty much finished splash page:

Splash page is cool but I think splash pages are gay, imo.
Here is what I am working on:

Have to do a conference call tomorrow with the company and see what happens

Very pro demi, the site kinda reminds me of 1up.

Viz: site looks nice, cool, clean.
Demi: site is boring, looks like a blog template.

Demi: Judgemental shit-talker, overly-critical.

Nice work, Viz. Demi, get a day job, then, don't quit it.

Melissa: Likes to skip over posts; failed to read that I was working on it; deserves a kiss on the cheek for trying though.
Stick to making cupcakes and suicide notes, schnookums.

Oh, I read everything - I know it's work in progress. So is what Viz is doing, but that didn't stop you from being a blunt prick.
Suicide notes? Please. You can laugh about and write off my cupcake baking abilities all you want - but go to sleep at night knowing how much money I make doing it. I am a master of my craft, you can't even get your code to validate....or are you "working on" this one too?

Well to Demi's credit it's a bit harder to code in a fully working news/comment system then what I'm doing. I just wanted my site browser friendly is all. :D
-
Fair enough, you win. You can read Betty Crocker like a pro. I should never have assumed otherwise.

My sites happen to be browser friendly too. Melissa needs to read more about the W3C and how it works. Oh dear, I forgot an alt tag in my image, my site is broken. But it's ok, Melissa will be there to tell me how to fix it! Haha.
-

Your ignorance and age are both shining through this thread.
You can try to pass off and make excuses for your sloppy shit all you want - at the end of the day, it just doesn't look very good and it doesn't validate. So, whatever. Get off your HTML High Horse because you lack the skills - or at least don't try to shit on what Viz is doing with your "Um... you need to work on it. A lot." bullshit. You're not that good.
-
Melissa is that good, y'see. And she doesn't mind reminding us all about it quite often!
-
Melissa, have you even looked at Viz's site?
Look at the bottom.
Now click on that link. Notice some similarities?
Just stop, Melissa, please?

I only speak the truth, Corny.

Damn! He's stealing his shit and it STILL looks better than yours?
Viz, you need to stop biting and start writing. You're making Demi look bad here.

Pride goeth before a fall, though.

Oh, absolutely! I'm just making a point here. You certainly won't catch me bragging about my video game review skills.
-
What is your point, though?
-
I've never made a splash page before :'(
I made all the images myself and changed the css around a bit.
I figured leaving the link as a thanks. :-\
-
I don't know, I never thought an arguement between two of the most tedious, self-centered mofos on the interwebs would've been so... boring? I guess?
Poor Viz :dizzy
-
What is your point, though?
My point is to not be such a dick about something just because you may be more knowledgable about it. How about offer some help or constructive criticism? What good is "Um... you need to work on it. A lot."?? It just makes you look like a pompous cock - and it makes me want to talk shit to you.
-

See, Corny - that's why I'm bummed you're not going to uWink on Saturday. It would have been fun to have a drink with you, without the fourth wall.
-
Demi and Melissa = Lovers Quarrel? Get a room and have some great make up sex.
Viz the site loads fast and well yeah i dont know much about sites usefullness and shit but i like yours over demi's

I'll be there Melissa, will you buy me a drink?
-
redwood is such a dyke
i'll be there, Mel - but I can only stay so long and I can only drink so much. But I'll be there
-
I'll be there Melissa, will you buy me a drink?
Of course - but you're not coming all the way here.
-
Viz: is the non-splash page all your code? In other words, if I ask why you made some of the structural decisions there, would that be a valid level of critique/etc?
Melissa: I'll be the judge of who is "master of the craft." Send over a URL.

Vestibulum vel purus. In eget dolor nulla veroeros et nullam sed veroeros etiam augue nunc ante aliquam. Quisque augue.
In eget dolor nulla nullam sed etiam dolore sed eroeros etiam augue nunc ante aliquam.
Purus etiam in eget dolor nulla lorem ipsum dolor augue nunc ante aliquam sed dolore nullam. Lorem ipsum dolor et sed etiam augue.
That's some nutty, illuminati-type shit. :o

Ah thats automated text from some Latin generating site. Supposedly its pretty popular for web designer at filling space.
-
I know, dude. I was hoping Melissa would come in here so I could ::) at her
-
I had no idea.

I could always make a cocky comment, that seems to work. Melissa seems to be a magnet to that.

There needs to be some kind of sarcasm tag, without the Fark-esque /sarcasm - something a little more subtle

like flies to shit.
do it!

Are you trying to bait my sweetheart?

http://www.xeroseven.net is the splash page where yes I used nodethirtythrees CSS as a guideline, as I don't know much about CSS atm but I plan on changing the positioning on this.
http://www.xeroseven.net/main.htm is the website itself
http://www.xeroseven.net/default.css is the CSS for it
I made all of the images on the website in photoshop myself. Feel free to say whatever you wan't.

Anyway. Sometimes you can have too much structure, for example right in your header you have:
<#header>
<#menu>
<ul>
When really, since a <ul> is a block-level element, and inherently a wrapper in the first place, you don't necessarily need <#menu> unless you anticipate some non-list-item existing in that space...
Then, you have empty elements like <#xbgA> and <.divider>, which are likely only there for presentational reasons and not structural ones. These can likely be obviated by using more well-planned CSS in future projects.
There are other places where you seem to be using more structure than is needed, or classing things that don't necessarily need to be classed (like all your <span.date> in <td.first>, where the date is already the only content there; why not class the <td> as .date in the first place--unless I'm missing something?), or having weird document trees, that give you results like: <#inner><#main><#main_inner>, etc. Also, with so many apparently disparate things classed <.content>, it makes me intuitively think perhaps you should just define whatever you're attributing to it more globally (like to <p> for example, although I haven't really scoured your code; this is all just from a quick glance at things)...
-
I should add these are all minor quibbles, really.
-
Yeah I put that comment there as a little inside joke. :lol
Anyway yeah I'm thinking of rewriting the page from scratch. You kinda lost me in that last paragraph there, but thanks for the advice.

You're looking for a URL to my culinary skills?
APF rolled a 20-sided die all over this thread. It's Dork City now!

That's cool! I've got nothing but respect for nerds - especially when they're nice and helpful to other nerds in need. I'm glad you're doing well, you seem to be both kind AND knowledgable.
