Thread: ok ... take a stab

Ok, you'll need to be a hockey fan for this website, I haven't seen many sports sites on here, if there are others, I'd like to see ....

I'll warn you ... season is just beginning and the site is full of info and photos .... there are alot of pages .....

www.halifaxwolverinesjra.com

My sons are going to love this site.
Way to go, well done. Hockey colors to max.

I noticed that you have no link to NHL - maybe I missed it and I was looking for rules link too.
Also, try taking the bold off players names, might be easier to read.

Good job.

I don't knwo much about hockey (except what I learned form the Mighty Duck Movies...lol) but I found your site quite remarkable and well organized. I think Hockey fans will love it. Good Job. Only trieda few links and they seem to be working.

What a great site - I love your colors and the design. The layout is good. Tried a few links and it all came up fine.

Great job.

Thanks guys and gals ... I've taken the bold off the player's names, I am assuming you are talking about the index page where the team photo is and as well I took it to size 14, see if you think that is any better ... I added the NHL Link ... great idea ... since for some, hopefully this is a stepping stone to the NHL, well you always have to think positive,
ha ha on the rules, are there any, lol, well of course there are, but there are so many and I believe we follow Hockey Nova Scotia rules, as well as Hockey Canada rules, and I have both those links there so it may be too difficult to just find just one page of rules ... but maybe it is the referee signs that they use and whatnot at the game which would be nice to have, and that gives me the idea to do that, I like that, I'll see what I can come up with ...

Thanks so much everyone!!
You just gotta love Blue Voda!!

Great Job!

Your site is set up very well. Your navigation was easy to read and easy to find. Nice colors. The pictures are placed in appropriate places. The links I tried all worked. Even though you have a lot of stuff on yur site it appears neat and well organized. Bravo....
Good Luck to you

What a great site. I love sports and hockey is a personal favorite. I wish you had designed the Florida Panthers' site. Awesome job, all links worked for me and the colors match as well. Nothing much I could add except to say VERY WELL DONE!

This is great guys and gals, I appreciate it, there will be plenty of hockey pics and video clips (fights) coming up after this weekends camp, so be sure to check back if you are interested in that stuff, I video it with my eyes closed, lol, just to tell you I really appreciate your comments.

I've found the rules and added those as well Mr. Cigar, oops, :) I mean Bill (j/k) and it was the new rule emphasis that is out for this year so it was a very important item ... thanks for the tip

A word of caution to those with a guestbook, if you go into fantastico and it says to update, don't hit upgrade, I had a dilemma all day, solved it the old fashioned "red green" way ... not properly done, but it's working and my entries are all back there ... :)

Thanks again everyone!!

For this I used a small piece of just gold and I stretched it in length and reduced it in width, you just need to be careful how far you stretch it lengthwise so that you do not distort it too much. So it's actually all pieced together.

Thank's to Blue Voda you can do anything!!

Nice site, loads on there how long did it take you?

that is one good site!!!!
it must have taken ages to make!
10 outa 10 for you!!!

Wow ... now I am the one who is speechless, (well sort of I am usually never lost for words). I really really appreciate what you have all said, it really means alot to me. Yes, I have spent alot of time on the site, I do it for the players, I do it for the fans, I do it for the parents that are not near our town, they can watch their son through the lens of my camera, I do it for the club, and I do it for myself, I do it volunteer, No Pay. My reward is someone telling me I do a good job and you people have given me more than a year's worth. I thank you all again. And David I shall join the topsites index, I am assuming I will find the link here somewhere and thank you for including the site in the showcase. I joined Blue Voda late June and I am still learning everyday, without this program none of this would be possible. It's fabulous and I love it. I'll be a lifetime member!!
Gotta run now and download and upload more pics from tonight and a few s****s that happened during the game. Just wanted to thank you all very very much!!

We keeping stabbing, your site is going to look like a pin cushion. Lol

Look foward to reading your posts helping others.
Good work LadyEye.

You know I love your site Sis, I think you have done a wonderful job in such a short time. Bravo, you have worked hard, the Wolverines have a winner on their team.

I see a pattern with the Canadians...they're multiplying on this forum...first THE BWServices Gang and now the sisters...lol...and they are making me look bad with their great sites....lol

ha ha Queen Bee ... we know you are the Queen and you can't top the Queen nor should you ever!!

And Bill if I can be of some help to anyone I surely will, it's been all experimental for myself as well, I am still learning and this forum is definitely the place for doing that. I am truly a fan!

Now Costume Lady ... I am glad you took my advice to come to the forum and post your site, thanks for your comments and I shall comment under your review ... ha ha, just remember I am your older sister!!

ha ha, just remember I am your older sister!!

YEah remember to listen to your older sister costumelady...but gotta tell ya LAdyeye..never ever works for me....lol

Oh and thank you for ackknowledging my Queenly status..now if only all else would..I get now resp-ect...sigh ..<wanders of tucking inall six arms>

Eh?

Atta girl Queen Bee ... and I certainly know what you mean :)

Yeah Bill you know how they spell Canada eh?

C A N A D A

which is

C eh N eh D eh

:)


Right On Eh!!

LadyEye:

I can't believe this is your first Rodeo. I have spoted a few anomalies. I will get back to this thread after coffee and seeing the rest of this quite
large site.

ha ha circuspet ... fill that coffee with a shot of the good stuff ... lol

I'm posting the definition of your work anomalies ... can't wait till your break is over .... :)

1. Deviation or departure from the normal or common order, form, or rule.
2. One that is peculiar, irregular, abnormal, or difficult to classify: “Both men are anomalies: they have... likable personalities but each has made his reputation as a heavy”

:) I like #2 .... ha ha

Coffee? whoa haven't you all switched to tea?

Just wondering, where you have been today?

LadyEye:

Ok, I guess you've never heard of "Dennys, home of the bottomless cup"

The first thing I noticed beyond the great color (love the metalic). was
that some of the pages dress right and some dress left. Since the page width is just over 800 the horizonal scroll bar needs to be moved left on some pages and right on others. It would take very little tweaking to slim them down, and then they could all be the same.

You've got me thinking about your posted definition: Thinking you must have your terms confused.......Heavy VS. Dence....and now I'm thinking that this Multitasking ( writing and thinking ) Is too heavy for someone so dence.....Still waiting to see the photo tricks.....Going back to your site
after I get some bread crumbs ( don't want to get lost... it's so big )

hmmm ... well I like Bill, am an avid Tea Drinker ... coffee has never been my thing ... English Breakfast my flavor and of course, Red Rose "Only in Canada they say" ....

I've been real busy, the club is going through try-outs at this moment, so it's a grueling 18 - 20 hrs a day work ....

Photo tricks - ha ha ... don't think I have any tricks up my sleeve for those, only meaning I am taking plenty photos throughout try-outs ....

Circus-Pet, can you identify a couple of the pages you are referring to so that I am able to figure out the problem ... the screen resolution on my computer is set at 1024 by 768 ... I have my pages all set at 1000, centering at 800,(or so I think) I have no scrollbar on any of my pages from my view so maybe I just need to reset all my pages to 800 instead of the 1000,? (What I've actually done is set the page properties to 1000 and set my template for my page at the 100 mark on the left and the 900 mark on the right - maybe that is the problem ????) hmmm ... help me here ... I may be a while getting back to you, a busy hectic day and night ahead of me .... thanks for your assistance with any help you can provide ...

LadyEye:

In a word: Persbyopia.... an eye afliction that affects most people over 40, requiring the inflected to wear reading glasses to read small print.

By setting your page properties to 800 w and your font to no smaller than 12,you will not only make it easier on your LadyEyes, but will make your site more comfortable and more accessable to your older viewers ( Mums, Fathers, and Grands ) eh.

P.S. Setting your screen resolution to 800 X 600 helps too

Thanks Circus Pet ... but my font is all size 12 or more and I've looked into more of what you are saying and I think I'll stick with my resolution ... as it is the most common today .... 57.8% of the most users on the internet .....

http://www.onestat.com/html/aboutus_pressbox38.html

You should consider changing yours, if only to check out my site .... :)

Dosen't that mean 43.2 persent need to side scroll and squint? Those poor Mums.

P.S. I mentioned the font size for others reading this post. I believe BV default is 10.
My opinions are just that, my opinions. However substancuated they may be.

ummm .... I suppose so circus pet, but I think I am going to stick with the majority of the population .... so it is the font that I use on here that is small, okay ... as you see I've changed it ... thanks for the tip!!

I like it better too, :)

Hey Bill:

Is the shipping the same price for the canadians here for this tea? Is any adjustment necessary if I order this through paypal? Can it come safely through customs? Where do you ship from?

Thanks ... (as she sips her English Breakfast Tea) :)

Hi, Thanks, no problem shipping, I will send from Canada or USA. Yes you can order through Paypal in Canada any problems.

I've ordered my rose blended tea, I'll surely be letting when I am sitting here drinking my first cup.

Thanks for that, I look forward to it.

Thank you , going out today. Enjoy!!

You're welcome Bill ... gee I left out an entire statement in my above post .... lol ... it should read

"I'll be sure to let you know when I am sitting here drinking my first cup."

These keyboards at times, have a mind of their own :)

Hello Ladyeye

Will you share with me on what software or tehnique you used to create your 3d fonts and shadows behind them and your pictures?

I love your site and I need your help because my site which is still under construction is to plain.

Best wishes
Steve

Hi Steve .... thanks for your comments and the 3d fonts and shadows is a real easy procedure and you can make your own available free at flaming text, i used the animated burn in technique if you are referring to the words on my main page "22 Ticket" color red, background none, all settings here at this site, you can change colors, fonts, sizes, and it only takes a few minutes to make your image, and then you save it to your computer http://www3.flamingtext.com/net-fu/d...n-in-anim-logo

I take my own photos and I use the image resizer available free here at blue voda ... not sure of the link to get it, maybe someone could jump in here and supply that for you ....

all my photos are originally somewhere between 700 & 1000 kbs (2000 x 1500) and I reduce them down to around 400 x 300, having 50 or so kbs for pics and I find I can add as many as 100 or more to the rotator at a time and load time does not seem to be a problem for viewers.

Don't ever tug on your photos, (or if you do very little and only at the bottom corners) once you have them placed on your page, tugging in an uneven direction will cause distortion, so stick with the size that it hits the page with ... or resize again in the image resizer, you can add a frame around your photo by using the border and any color right in blue voda, right click on your picture and you will see where, you can line your photos up on top of each other for a dramatic look, as you add another just move it to the front, I've done some layering like this in my alumni section, using the mouse over effect is cool too, I used this for a fight picture, it shows them starting to fight and mouseover shows the results (bloody - ew) .....

love the energy your site gives off!!!! - great color selection and thanks for the link to flamingtext - looks like fun

I love it!
