Found a minor design problem. In pages where the main content doesn't reasch to the bottom of the sidebar, a small bit of it is cut off. (ex. here). Anyways, I like the unifying theme of electric...

EDIT: Firefox 3.0 is reporting www.adgfx.com as an attack site. The error message:

Hi!

I've done some major overhauling of our high school's website, and I just want you guys to be really picky and point out some mistakes and possible improvements that I may have missed.
...

It's a really nicely designed site, it give a nice Eastern feel to and is quite attractive. The problem is that your code isn't valid. Valid code allows for better support in more browsers, both...

Try saving the large images as a lower-quality jpeg file. They'll have a smaller file size while still not losing too much quality for a computer screen.

There's the jQuery lightbox plugin, at http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/. There's also lightview (http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/lightview/) which is for prototype. I haven't...

I think that Javascript loads after the entire page has finished. So, using JavaScript, the menus will flicker (unless you use document.write, which loads as the page is loading). So, either use...

Awardspace has a preety decent free hosting plan - if you can get past all of the advertisements in the conrol panel, they don't show any ads on your website.

Why don't you just use the first link that you put there. It looks simple enough to set up and change.

You could use javascript to change the src of the image tag, i.e:


<script type="text/javascript">
function changeImage(newImage) {
document.getElementById("yourImgId").src=newImage;
}...

You would be suprised of what goes on at high schools... I remember one time an inflated condom was being tossed around visibly in front of the school administration and they let it go on.

Back on...

With your free web host, I don't think that server-side scripting and databases are possible. Thus, it's not possible to build your own news system. Unless, of course, you want to sort it manually...

Also, instead of using javascript to determine the style sheet, use conditionals.

See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html for more information. Basically, it's the following structure:
...

On Internet Explorer 7, the top navigation bar is still very broken, and the text is quite small, especially at the top.

Ah, sorry about that. HTML was deprecated, but its still very much usable. I sort of mixed up a few of the links in the W3C recommendations website. They should do a better job with navigation. See...

HTML is still a current standard, strict, trasitional or frameset. I do belive that HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 were released at the same time, as two seperate standards with their own seperate usages. I...

No! A common misconception! HTML and XHTML are equal standards. If you just want to lay out a web page, HTML will be just fine.

Alexa and PageRank are both used for measuring popularity, but using different methods.. Alexa tracks the web usage of people with their toolbar, while Google uses its PageRank system. Totally...

The site doesn't validate. Its important to validate to ensure good performance on all browsers.

Also, It's too flashy for my tastes, and the top navigation is broken in IE7, but the design is...

Oh, nevermind, it was my adblock firefox add-on that was adding that scrollbar.

Sorry for getting you all worried!

Ilona, you're not alone here, I'm in high school too!

What I've learned is that you need to make a web site for your audience - if your audience is a bunch of snobby university professors, design...

A little too big for my browser. I have a widescreen monitor, yet I still got a horizontal scrollbar!

Thanks a lot. I appriciate all of your advice. I'm not really interested in cash right now, but purhaps later. My goal is to have a decent portfolio by the end of high school (so I won't have much...

The background is a tad bit distracting, and it doesn't go very well with the color of your header. On firefox, the alinment is a little off in the "your computer" page.

Also, its hard to tell...

Strange... this doesn't happen with firefox IE7 or Opera. It may be a performance issue, I've been trying to get the client to do less work in the javascript side of things, but its seems that I...
