Dreamweaver and MS Frontpage both ring bells and warning klaxon's...

Dreamweaver's not so bad, although I really think it's only useful if you already know what you're doing. Frontpage makes a mess, but it's got some features that are useful for getting functionality fast, so long as you don't care about efficiency.

I have both at home, along with a couple of other miscellaneous helper apps, but I write my code in Notepad, as well.

The wiki suggestion is a very good idea. I thought about mentioning it myself, but I've never used one, so I don't know how difficult it is to get set up.

I know nothing about setting up a wiki, but adding to/maintaining one is awesomely easy and perfect for gaming. Been doing it for 1.5 years now and cannot imagine going back (see my sig)

I'm considering setting up member galleries/portfolios/blogs as an expanded feature of the site. This renews my desire to do this...I'll get back on that process and see what I can do...other than that I'd just recommend the Wiki thing on your own hosting...preferrably godaddy...they're the best (and our host here at the guild)

Thank you all,

I knew I could count on my little guild , for info and all.

I think I'll try wiki.

I'll be sure to let you know about the progress.

The only 2 think I want to put on my site will be a publicity link to here and to elfwood.com (a great picture site). Can I do that

Arcana, you idea of the member galleries/portfolios/blogs should really be good cause we are getting more and more active members this years and most of them got a good background for that.

Sea U Hall A-round,

Alu.

News from the grave.


I just finish uploading my little web RPG world.

Sorry that it still only in French but before this summer the English version should be up too.

Just go take a look and let me know what u think.


www.l-hazard.com

Note: I still need to create a forum or a blog section to take visitors comment and answers questions. Anyone know how I should do it


Thanks to all of you who help me with the web setup,
Alu.

Pretty sophisticated for your first go. You'll probably want to turn the scrolling on in the left frame. I'm viewing it at a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 in Internet Explorer, and I cannot see the bottom of your navigation bar or the far right portion of your banner.

It's always a good idea to look at your web site at a resolution that matches what most of your potential readers will be using. At the moment, I'd say 1024 X 768 is the highest you should design toward. I still shoot at 800 X 600 most of the time.

Done.


I forgot to check that, since I'm using a big monitor in high resolution.



Also, any comment on stuff (or pages) to add or on text error
is really welcome,

Not a bad start. Personally I would ditch the frames. Search engines (especially Google) often don't index the sites within the frames properly so if you want traffic from the web, this could be a hindrance. That's just one of many associated problems with frames. Here's an interesting article about the use of frames in HTML pages:

Over all, it is a nice start. You have a ton of information (when it comes to websites - content is king).

BTW, are you a fan of the El-Hazard anime by any chance?
