Thread: My new navigation bar... Does it look good?

www.electronics4dummies.com/temp.htm I made a temporary page to see what it would look like. Tell me if you like the nav bar, if you don't, or what I should change... Thanks!

Ok ok, now we really are just showing off!!! ; - ) No really though I like it... very nice! You get my vote!

Cool, thanks for the awesome review. I have been working on it forever!

I like it and I like that I now know what your site is about...great improvement and nice and clean and easy to navigate. May I suggest placing the google adds at the bottom so as not to distract and take away from your site.

Wow! You have made some great improvements! Love what you have done! The nav bar really looks "electronic" and cool! Great job!

Dude.. I like your navigation bar.. looks neat..

More importantly.. I like the funny video clips.. that water bed clip had me in tears, nearly woke up the neighbours at 4:38am and my dog was howling..

Good work mate.

Thanks everyone! Should I make that temporary page my Homepage? Or do I need to make some changes?

Honestly.. I can't see anything that you need to do to that page.. As far as my opinion goes, it looks mighty dandy as it is mate.

Your page is a lot nicer than the previous ones. There's something missing, maybe not a banner along the top but a space or a design along the theme of your site.

Good work.

What do you mean by that bill2006? Theme... How can I create a good theme... I have a picture of a computer chip that says electronics for dummies... Would that be good to put on there?

I think Bill menas you need a header...and the computer chip banner you mentioned sound like it would do nicely for your site....I agree with Bill that you need the header...it will also help with SE's later.

Okay, this is the picture would it be good? Also, what is an SE?

In a little over 2 months, I have had 560+ pageviews!

Looks good to me and SE is Search Engines.

oh, got it. Thanks. Sooo, I just updated all of my pages with the new nav bar. Time to put in a theme... :)

The nav bar is very unusual. Congrats.
I think it might be an improvement if the sub menus had more of an outline around them. The onmouseover is very feint.
The other unique thing I noticed is that the sub menu stays on the screen for a time after you move your mouse away. How cool is that? - the way the main bar gradually reverts to it's original state.
The only bouncing navbar in vodahost?
Well done

Thanks! I will try to make the sub menus more defined.

Okay, I updated my temp page ( www.electronics4dummies.com/temp.htm ) with more defined sub-menus. Do you like that menu more than the meny on www.electronics4dummies.com ?

Looks much better.

Cool. which one?

I think the one on the ...temp page looks the best

Hi Pemdas

Your nav bar looks great , your site gets better and better ...well done!

Looks great, who says hard work doesn't pay off

Cool, and thanks for all of the kind words. Yes, it was a lot of hard work! I shall make the temp page my home page. :) I appreciate all of the feedback!

Your site does look better. Like the Nav. bar. You could use some better page names. I think what the ite lacks is something of color to break up the steel gray appearance.
Looking better.

Cool nav bars! can tell us how to create such nav bars

Well, do you have macromedia dreamweaver 8? If not, you are outa luck... Unless you want to download the free 30 day trial. Anyways, if you do have dreamweaver, go to my website, and then hover your mouse on the first button and click on the sub-button. Download the free version, and install it. Then, open dreamweaver, and click on insert, then hover over media, and then click on something like navigation bar. (not really sure what it is) Then, you should have a rectangular box on the screen. It is time to edit! Click on the box once, and look on the left of your screen. There should be something that is called tag checker or something along those lines. Make it so that that tab is down. Scroll down untill you find the tree of items or whatever it is. Click on the little thing that makes it pop out. Then, begin editing! The first thing on there is the first (actually second because this is the free version) and you can edit the text that will show up, the link etcetera. Do keep in mind though, these will show up in the order they are placed! Happy creating.

does that help at all? If you have any more questions as to of how to make it, just tell me in this thread! Thanks. :)

Any other lingering suggestions? Anyone else want to give me some advice? I would appreciate it a ton. Thanks bluevoda for helping me along with my website. I have wanted to make a website since I was 6.
