Right most of you know the special observe page.
Sheepy came up with the idea then got bored so I took over, we have a site hosted on angelfire - bit crappy but it's free.

The pages must have adverts on them (there are ways to stop them, using .asp files for example, php might work too, not sure)

Anyway if you check out the site www.specialobserve.tk you will see the nasty adverts and frames which don't work too well. Anyone who wants to be added just mail stuff to the address on the site.

At the moment with uni and exams I just don't have the time to change, find out ways of changing it to make it better.

I know there are plenty of talented designers out there with more than enough skill to make it a bit better. I know it might not be possible to remove the adverts but it would be nice to make the site look better.

So anyone want to help out, offer advice, improvements, write code etc.
Only thing in return is you get your name on the site, all I can offer.

Thanks if you can and want to help.

I don't think you can stop the Adverts using PHP or ASP, as they appear to be from JavaScript Code, as PHP and ASP can't alter this because PHP/ASP is run first, then the JavaScript, so it's not possible to block the adverts.

Blocking the ad's would most likely break your hosts rules, and your site would be deleted anyway.

Are you on dial-up or ADSL??? If you are on a dial-up, you should consider using Freeola, as they don't have the banner problem and allow you to run PHP if you need to.

You are required to upload yor Web Site via their dial-up phone number (meaning you have to pay the cost of the call to Upload), but if you only update it over the weekend, the cost would be minimal (20p a week or something like that).

Also, maybe you should consider taking it out of an
