Thread: Getting closer

Are video www.mayatabasco.com/faces_of_tabasco.html and banner rotator pixs on home page too much? Links are not all working but the ones that show link are all o.k.???

Choco777, I can't see anything there.

Ok I saw the video, because it is in Spanish some may not watch it. Maybe add a story line next to it. The brief you wrote implies a short video, it is much longer.

Thanks Bill, I was referring to the banner rotation images bottom of mexico travels or index page. The interpretation is taking some time. I do not unfortunately speak Yokot' choco and part of the piece is in this Chontal dialect. I plan to interpret the entire theater piece that is presented in spanish, still working on this page. Also the Itinerary page for Tab cradle...page. Just wanted to get an idea how it is looking.

It look great, but have some problem on Firefox, need title on this page too or may be you have paleced on you .index page.

All the best.

If you are referring to video it is a link from tabasco_cradle_of_culture.

o.k., those of you that can remember. Not trying to imply anything. Does it look better. The links on first page bottom do not work yet, no contact page yet, no about us yet, no full interpretation of video yet. But hey, there are some new things to pick on so, let me know. Changed sounds to no loop.

Choco777:
Cannot help you with the contact page until you publish it........

and have you entered the code for the topsite button yet ?

David,
the contact page is published. By that I mean it shows on the public_html side of the ftp. I wasn't referring to that at all, just to let reviewers know what is not working yet.
The aadvark logo is on the maya mexico tour or index.
I have no idea what is neeeded to put a banner on so it is fine. I did email you this a.m.

your banner is up and running OK..........

When I click on your CONTACT link nothing happens, please check the link.

I need to SEE that page........thanks

Looking good, better organization.
The adventure page shows some text in bold others without, might want to have all titles the same.
A lot of information, glad you put a site map key.

David, Thanks on the banner. When you click contact now it goes to the form don't know if it works and has the reply the php form working . What happended was some text was covering the button and you could not press it . If u give it a quick look see, I'll appreciated it. I know u r busy. Sorry.
You seem to come thru no matter.

Bill,
thanks for your time. I'm still working on the site map, not quite sure which way to go. But thanks for the tips on the site. Thanks as always. Ciao.

Hey, George....
On your adventure:itinerary page, your photos are password protected??
http://www.mayatabasco.com/adventure_itinerary.html When I clicked on them for a "larger image" they came up Forbidden, with a 404 Error (typical of a password protected directory)....

And are you planning on text/content to be loaded on this page also, as the huge space suggests so...and about adding a site map, check with Andy128's website for BV tools and add-ins : http://netisopen.com/computer/web/webpagestuff.html

I like your developments since you started in June, old man! Good stuff!

No they are not protected. Just yesterdy I saw two of myu photos on another site. In the Gallery tool they were created to open in a pop up window. Don't know why that happened.
Don't know why a lot of things happen. I will look at Andy's tutorial, thanks for the heads up and suggestions, always welcome.

Wow! You have really been working hard! I think you have a great overall site that is easy to understand and use. Now I would just go for the little details to "tighten" everything up, like Bill said--the type on your menu buttons is hard to read where it overlaps the little icon on the left side of the button.

Thanks, I'll work on the buttons.

Choco, I LOVE your site! (i saw your invitation to visit it in another thread). WOW it is LOADED with great stuff! I could spend lots of time exploring your site....and that is what is great about it...EXPLORING! That is EXACTLY what you are "selling", right? Adventure, exploration, trips of a lifetime into fun and exotic places!! GREAT JOB!!! You have captured the feeling quite well!! What a lot of hard work!!

Now, I would love to explore all your pages, but I am on a STUPID STUPID dialup! Once the opening page loaded (about 3 or more minutes) the rest were not so bad but I only went to a couple for now....i will visit the others another day.... Sorry, i did not try all the links and stuff to really test it for you, again, STUPID DIALUP!!

Only one thing jumped out at me...on one page you have a marquee and the word "suggestions" in it....you put two s's in ssuggestion! LOL

Oh, i love the blue you choose...it reminds me of the beautiful ocean!
Great job!!!

IsleGal!
(sorry to cut in line, George...BTW I like the additions since last week!)

When you and the others say you are stuck on dialup, doesn't this "turbo-dialup" make much of a difference, or is it just all marketing?
I actually still have my Juno account (for whenever I really must do dialup with a laptop or something) but since I also have it wired thru my satellite, I haven't given much thought about how different things are from where I was a few years ago.......I mean, even the OS on 'puters are so enhanced nowadays also...
Inquiring minds want to know... LOL

wow!!! you have made so many changes since i last visited your site a week or so ago - what a difference. no one else has mentioned it - maybe its just my old eyes, type is a little small for me....Great site, great pictures - when we drive to Mexico this fall we will be sure to visit your area - sounds fantastic

Why the double Aardvark logos? and what is that ? this is what it opens to-

Now, worried about load time, Islandcrazy says it took 3 min for first page! It loads for me in 2.5 secs. on IE and FF.
SEE Islandcrazy fishing pays off, I begged for attention, you gave it and now I can go out and play. Thank you for the double ss and the nice comments. Bill....I do not know what it was but it is gone, no one ever mentioned that and I never noticed it either...hmmmmmmmm. Asirimarco, Come on down. This is the REAL MEXICO. Guadalajara and the rest of the drug invested,foreign owned tourist traps don't appeal to me, I realize it is the Pan American but take a detour to the Gulf Coast, just take a left in Oaxaca. Thanks Mercy, took care of the problem the easy way changed it, less thinking.Thanks everyone. Alot of changes Vasili but still cannot do the Email contact form. The forums is the only place I get help, so I have the request in, but noone is offering, so here I sit. I'm doing something wrong obviously but it is not obvious to me what it is, linking has gone south so there'll be more changes. like I told Mercy it is the easy way,sometimes you sacrifice but......and thanks for reading the novel.

hi again - last time we were constrained for time and money and just went south - this time with just the two of us and no time constraints we plan on spending a lot of time in Mexico as much of the country as we can visit. I'll keep watching your site for places to not miss. love the sounds on mystical - i want to go!

Bill2006: this is the entry to the Showcase Index by Category Page
where people with sites in the showcase can enter their details .
Why dont you join as you are one of us..........
And for a little fun, everytime someone goes to your site it counts and places you up or down as time goes on.

Choco, if you email me your Cpanel username, password and IP server number
I will install a working contact form for you..................

asirimarco,
If you email me I'll give you some tips. There are many things to know about Mexico to make your travel easier.
The place to visit is Chiapas, it is truly the showplace of tropical Mexico. You must be careful in Chiapas. As in other places don't talk politics as Mexican want to do, especially the men. Then there's th Zapatistas as they wish to be called, in towns of the Lacandon there will be masked men with guns who are not dangerous in and of themselves. The people of Chiapas are really great ( I know I made it sound like it ....huh?) colorful and the food is great, many mystical places....it is the place that really cn not be done justice by my meager attempt at using adjectives. If you've never been in a Fog Forest you haven't seen it all. You can go from humid tropical jungle to a gigantic appearing Pine Forest and a drastic drop in tempature in a short time. The air is fresh and the water attractions are endless. A photographers paradise. OH sorry..........let me know Choco3@prodigy.net.mx

choco....don't worry about me and my dumb dialup......I just went to your site again and it only took 1 minute.....there must have just been ALOT of traffic last night which always slows down my modem......I did not mean to alarm you....sorry....I was more or less just complaining about my limitations right now!!!! No worries.....it is a wonderful site and

Don't worry not really alarmed. Besides Dr. says I'll do just fine, now. Thanks
