My Site is Busy

C L · #1 08-26-2006, 05:54 PM

My site is fairly new, I still have lots of work to do and I am fairly new at the whole computer/internet/webworld. I am thinking about having a dial-up option for my site as I know it is animated and busy. See what you think, my sister LadyEye, said I should give the "reviews" a try. Thanks to all. I'm a bit scared.

My site: www.costumesrus.net

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SITE....HOW WONDERFUL....it's freakin' awesome...lovethe music and each page very uunique and fun...I really had fun going through...I cna see you put a lot of thought and had fun doing this. NOw just one thing...laoding bit slowly on pages with pics and I have pretty fast access. You might want to resize the picture ..use re-pixsizer...

GREAT JOB

C L · #3 08-26-2006, 06:04 PM

Wow, gosh, thank-you. I wasn't expecting to hear this, I will take your advice, and thank-you for your kind words.

bill2006 · #4 08-26-2006, 06:08 PM

Nice site, well done.
Doubt you can claim you're new anymore.

ps. Too many Active X pop ups. There is something malicious in your script.

C L · #5 08-26-2006, 06:13 PM

I will work on the active x, I am concerned about the malicious script. How do you know this? Where is it exactly?

bill2006 · #6 08-26-2006, 06:14 PM

Click on the image, not sure why the pirate window pop ups.

C L · #7 08-26-2006, 06:17 PM

Do you mean, I should change the wording of this no right click script or the script itself is doing something malicious to others? You are very good, how did you do that? I put the right click in because I wanted to protect a couple of pages with some of my pictures. I thought pirate was appropriate, since it is a costume website. Do you find that it is offending?

LadyEye · #8 08-26-2006, 11:06 PM

Hey Costume Lady

I am glad you submitted your site for review! You have totally worked hard at it and you are very very creative, very very artistic and you can definitely see your love for costumes and the industry by the amazing site you produced and continue to add to. I can remember when you first ordered your internet and called me with the question "Now What Do I Do?" lol, You've Come A Long Way Girl!!

I know you are aware of the load time on some pages, and I know too that you are going to spend another huge amount of time making a little more user friendly site, cudos for you!! And Good Luck With That!

In the meantime I want to say that the wait for the pages to load is truly worthwhile if you have any passion at all for costumes, creations, etc. The music you have chosen for your pages fits to a tee, my favorite the song on the halloween page. You site is fun, informative and entertaining for all ages. And it is Bootiful!!

One more thing little Sis, your avatar looks cool!!

LadyEye
Your Sister
(Much Prettier, Your Boss, ha ha)

C L · #9 08-26-2006, 11:12 PM

Thanks LadyEye, much appreciated and needed. How come you're a Sergeant and I'm only a Corporal? I wanna be a Sergeant.

LadyEye · #10 08-26-2006, 11:14 PM

Ha ha .... check my post above .... I'm Your Boss!!

:)

C L · #11 08-26-2006, 11:17 PM

Bossy is more like it. Ha Ha

C L · #12 08-26-2006, 11:18 PM

Did you see, I am now a Sergeant, who's the boss now? That's funny!

Ok, did you do that on purpose to prevent someone from copying your images ?

Not offending at all, don't worry about that, I thought it was an error on the page as if it was trying to point to pirate costumes.

C L · #16 08-27-2006, 03:34 AM

That's good. By the way, nice cigar.

bill2006 · #17 08-27-2006, 03:55 AM

Lol, thanks - not a prop, twas the real thing.

Stewie · #18 08-27-2006, 04:11 AM

Dear costume lady,

I have couple a questions for you could you please answer them for me.

1. how did you get music on your site

2.also, how did you get that thing that tells you how many people have visited your site

Thank you

C L · #19 08-27-2006, 05:03 AM

I got my statcounter for free at www.statcounter.com

The music is all midi's, do a google search for midi's, click on the midi to play it, if you like it, save it to your harddrive.

Then on the webpage you are designing, right click, page properties, background, sound, then browse your harddrive to find where you saved your midi and insert it there.

Be careful about some midi's, my suggestion is to scan for viruses etc., take all the precautions to protect yourself. If you aren't finding some midi's let me know and I dig through some of my favorites to find you some links. Have fun, stay safe, happy surfing!

ez-ez · #20 08-27-2006, 05:34 AM

This is a neat website.. Looks and feels very dynamic, but done very smartly.. The site is not that busy at all actually.. Goes to show you can achieve so much with little accessories if you have a thing for web design..

Midi.. Even though I'm not a big fan of Midis, there are times when they can go down well.. this is one of those times.

Side Scroll.. Maybe the page size needs to be slightly adjusted so that the side scroll goes.

Love the pics.. the site has a 'Halloween Theme'.. but does that change depending on the season.. Do we see bunnies jumping every where just before Easter..?? (I'm a big fan of the Gothic Culture so the site would still look good to me as it is even during Easter)..

A 'contact us' link has room on the Index Page.

But most of all.. The flying wizard is mighty awesome.. specially that he is told to stay on top of all pages and would still be flying around even if you are browsing the Pope's website.. (which could be confusing as you wouldn't know who's who..).. There's my stab at the pope.. haha.

Over all.. this site is fine'n'dandy... Nice work.

C L · #21 08-27-2006, 03:03 PM

Thanks for your review and the ideas, everybody. It's like a family.

C L · #22 08-28-2006, 02:40 AM

Thanks for your review Carlos, I know exactly what you mean about the midi's. All good advice. Take care.

Stewie · #23 08-28-2006, 09:00 PM

Thankyou costume lady you are a big help.

C L · #24 08-28-2006, 10:27 PM

Your welcome, Stewie.

smcatering · #25 08-29-2006, 12:00 AM

I absolutely loved this site so much I actually signed your guestbook. One thing though, I wasn't able to go back to your site after signing in because there were no links. Design or oversight?

C L · #26 08-29-2006, 12:51 AM

Oh, that was you, who signed my guestbook. Thanks for doing that! Actually, I do not know how to put a back button on the guestbook.

LadyEye · #27 08-29-2006, 12:57 AM

It's an option in the control panel of your guestbook costume lady .... you add your url to your main page or wherever you want them to go ....

:)

C L · #28 08-29-2006, 01:00 AM

Ok, thanks LadyEye. I will try that.

I have a back button now, thanks for all the advice Mike, LadyEye & Bill. By the way Mike & Bill you both have nice sites. Very professional looking. Yummy!....LadyEye, you know I like yours.

bill2006 · #31 08-29-2006, 02:08 AM

You're welcome and thank you : - )

C L · #32 08-29-2006, 02:23 AM

I always like to hear from the Brigadier General, and thanks for signing my guestbook Stewie.

MrCirrus · #34 09-05-2006, 02:17 AM

Love your website, I didnt notice that it was slow to load because i was so enthralled by the music and the bouncing wizard. I'm new to blue voda can you tell me how you got the moving wizard?

C L · #35 09-05-2006, 02:44 AM

Sure, it's the first link rainbow scripts and look under MS Agents and follow the instructions....if you have any problems, just let me know.

I'm glad your wife liked the site, tell your wife that I have three dance establishments that I supply on a regular basis, all talented people....the active X thing, tis the downfall on my site....still thinking on what to do about it as I like what I have and don't want to loose the entertainment part of it....thanks all good here.

kenb · #42 09-06-2006, 06:22 AM

JUST LOVED THE WHOLE SITE AND THE MUSIC AS WELL!!!
I HAD 1 QUESTION FOR U THOUGH, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT AWSOME LIGHTNING STRIKE ACTION. MY SITE IS CALLED LIGHTNINGCYCLES.CA AND I SELL ELECTRIC BIKES. THAT LIGHTNING STRIKE ACTION WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO MY PAGES AS WELL. THANKS AND GREAT PIECE OF WORK YOU DID THERE. kenb

econstas · #43 09-06-2006, 11:33 AM

All I can say its.. great site. The Wizard on the corner left freaked me out at first. Hey that's where all my icons are located. So I was thinking to myself what is that sound.. then ... Good site. Great Sounds.
