"We need a website"

Right. The web design forum here needs a website, for posting all sorts of advice, links, news etc. A "community" website. It should be interactive and fully display the best of our skills. So:

Coding - Me, cjh and ajh. Basically anyone who can.

Site design and layout - Reaper and Tyla. You guys work together on it. Give me a final layout as a Fireworks file and I'll take it from there

Content - Andy/Bob, and everyone else here

We need some webspace, I'll get some at Freedom2Surf once their servers come back online. They're a very good server for what we want to do. If anyone else wants to help out, that's great.

Any more suggestions would be welcome.

My site was http://www.imagics.co.uk but the server formatted the hard drive (virus) on EXACTLY the same day my PC was nicked. Consequently, this site is different and doesn't have the same logging system (AXS). Also, I can't access the old stats but I'd guess the unique hits wouldn't be much less.

Actually, now I come to think of it, that site's pretty poor. I can do better but right now I'm too busy in competition with you!

*looks mean*

:-D

Yeah!! It's let me back in at last!!

OK.. vaugley amused!! I'm still laughing now!:-D

Going back to your site hits... How many are "UNIQUE VISITORS" out of the 3000 hits you get? And what's the URL?

Andrew's said we can have a .co.uk Domain, :o)

So what are we going with??

Turbo, nothings comeing up when I try it, is it still there?

Well its better than the other one you had done......

I still prefer Tyla's one though..... and considering it took him 10 minutes, imagine what he could do when he actually tries! :-)

More!

As I said, they can select it if they want but it shouldn't be a problem anyway.

Again... that's

Er, yeah... I have 3000 friends and family... Also, did I mention that it didn't log my own hits?

And I'm telling you that more than 90% use 16bit+!

Mine too, I always consider Netscape, mostly because I use something similar in Linux.

I think you should go and check Webmonkey again, they've changed it drastically. I know as much about compatabiliy as you do. I've been there, done that, used the browser...

Smoking is bad for your helath ;-)

Tyla, we seem to have lost your effort, so here it is for anyone who didnt see:

I think the following posts went something like "Ooo, very nice, what did you use to do that then?" or something.

AHHH!

What is going on with this today???
