Thread: First website and enjoying Vodahost

All comments would be appreciated. Still to complete Meta tags when I come to grips with the concept. Still to figure how to get the search engines there, but with some more experience that wil come I am sure. I think Blue voda is a hoot and so easy to do. I think I might have a small issue with a couple of the buttons when you hold the curser over them, the names are incorrect.

Many of us are using a secure email form (script), or one made with ABDFP....it is not as simple as you suggest to make "corrections" you assume are so basic, Scott....

I think it's great, Whisper!

The only things I'd say were to make sure it's centered in browser, and maybe make the items in the contents list on the right, clickable.

Yay, good job!

hloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nice site whisper, nice layout and flows well. I did notice that your banner/logo has an issue, on your home page it says crafty-things.org on one line but the other pages it is on two lines covering part of the text under it. Try making the text box a little wider on those pages and it should take care of it. Good work, Good Luck.

good start

embroidered button on calico page navigates to page not found.
calico button on embroidery page navigates to embroidery page.
contact on embroidery page navigates to calico page.

check all your buttons and make sure they navigate correctly.

open all pages in BV, navigate to each one by selecting the tabs for the pages. notice how the parts jump around. go back to the first page and select an item. look down to the rh bottom of BV. notice when you grab the item that the x and y axis change. these are position points up/down and left/right. go from page to page and set all identical items the same.
if you want a site that navigates uniformly that is.

it's a lot to learn, but you're gonna be so proud of yourself when you get all this.

make the changes and keep checking the forum.

happy fishing and crafting !

You have done alot of work. It looks good, I agree with the comments above, Center your pages, the buttons on the different pages checked, and your logo on the inside pages. One other thing, You might wnat to rethink the big voda banner at the top, don't get me wrong I love it and this place, but I would either put it at the bottom or along the left side. You want your logo banner at the top and making the first focus of eyes. Good Luck!!
