hi all i started doing my site last night didnt have much time cos it was late could you have a look i know its a bit crap and boring at the moment but i need some ideas bearing in mind that its a limited site cos its free so i cant do that much at the moment
it is http://www.oneofthree.4t.com

thanks for all the help i know your all going to give me :D :D

Nice start One. The only advice I can give you is to keep the animated gifs to a minimum as well as the size of the images you choose to use. If people can't access your site quickly they will go elsewhere. Spellcheck is also key. I can't begin to tell ya how many times people have told me I had spelling errors. I even Spelled my own name wrong and had to have a friend tell me I misspelled it. :lol:

Like it :D

ceep up the good work 8)

Please tell me that the dancing gif does NOT represent the backdoor into your site. :shock:

I have started a site of my own, and will reveal it to the public in the near future. It is turning out to be one HELL of a project, so I feel for ya, dude.

On the size of the pics that should be file size rather then actual look size they can be small square or whole page as long as file size is small ie kb not pixels inches mm etc, nice work tho 'THE ONE'
also on the guest book page cant you make it accessible to view just so we can be nosy and see who else has signed??
Dark :twisted: :twisted:

im not sure dark there are alot of blank bits on the guest book and im still working out how to delete them

right i had to delete the guest book and start again
but you can now view all the entries without having to sign it again

nice will check it out

if i want to put pictures on the site how can i reduce the size (kb)
so they dont take up so much space?
this damn HTML i dont bloody understand it.

I only use Photoshop but i'm sure other may be able to help you in this endeavor. Otherwise if you have PS the first thing you want to do is go to edit and select image size in the drop down menu. then make sure the image is no bigger then 8" high or wide. Also set the resolution at 72. After you've accomplished this go to file and select save for web from the drop down menu. this allows you to lower the quality of the image in order to bring the file size under control. Believe it or not you can drop the file size quite a bit before you notice any real degradation of the image. Once you've got the image down to a good size then just save the image. and your done. As a rule I try not to mak my images more then 30k but this is all up to you. i don't think 60k would be much of a big deal. There are actually a few images on this site around that size and no one seems to be having a problem with dload time. Remember there are still people who have dial up and you will lose visitors if it takes to long for your site to load up. Hope this helps. i know it may be a different layout on the PC but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find everything i discussed here.

What picture/photo editing software do you have? We will go from there :wink:

Later, Skank

i dont really have much i have photo impressions i got it free with my camera its a bit crap but i can scan with it and stuff, i found that saving it as a .gif or a jif, jig ,job somthing like that reduces the size
but i will have to work on the size of the pictures.

Give me a shout on aim next time your on 'THE ONE'

Try this one. It's simple to use for reducing file sizes.

ive looked at the admin bits on my page and the thumbnails are only availiable for the premium service and that costs money so im sorry guys and gals that wont be happening at the moment so unless someone can tell me some trick to do it i wont be able to have them so if i get any pictures i will try to keep them small
