My first site

Phaser · 15 Jun 2006 at 23:15

Hi all.

http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/

One of the first "proper" sites i've ever done. Really really proud of myself.

Theres a few bits which I still need to sort out but it's getting there.

I've learnt quite a bit from doing this, such as PHP include files and so on. Really simple, but you pick up things much easier and faster when you're actually doing it.

One thing - the site is designed in XHTML/CSS but quite a lot of the content involves tables. Any way of getting round this?

Comments and feedback would be great, I don't think its amazing but hey it's probably the 2nd site i've ever completed from start to finish.

Thanks.

Wow, wasn't expecting that much good feedback!

Yes, I think the black/red/white work well together, the website/forum keep the same consistent colour scheme.

Regarding the navigation, I thought i'd start off simple and then I can always add a few things in here and there. I was thinking perhaps a background image for the menu headings but what you suggested Sic sounds great.

Augmented, i'l take a look at that link mate. I've always used divs and css as much as possible so i'm not too sure on tables etc. Got a feeling some of them might just be thrown together quickly so i'l go over them.

Cheers all for the feedback.

DZire Media is what im looking to start up.

However the current site is just a page with some links on. Want to get up at least a holding page before I show the link on the website.

www.dziremedia.co.uk - Look at the links for the radio, DZire FM.

f you go to www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk and see the radio player that is feeding from the same stream etc.

i really like it. like craig said, not a lot of people can get away with dark websites, but you've done very well there. i like the menu, but i think you could do so much more with it. i'd personally like to see the background of the button go the same colour as the text, and have the text go black when you mouse over...think that'd look great.

I thought i'd have a go at doing this.

http://yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/ - Hasn't turned out right though. It seems to be pushing each <li> onto 2 lines?

#nav {
text-decoration:none;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
float:left;
clear:none; }

div#nav ul{
padding:0;
}

#nav ul a{
width:200px;
font-size:100%;
text-decoration:none;
color:#49C2F7;}

#nav li
{line-height: 25px;
list-style-type: none;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #666666;
text-transform: capitalize;}

#nav li a {
padding-left: 10px;
display:block;
width:auto;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;
font-size: 11px;
color: #49C2F7;}

#nav li a:hover {
padding-left: 10px;
background: #49C2F7;
color: #fff;}

Any idea? Cheers.
