I get 28 warnings for html/xhtml on the main page. Looking through most are missing "/" forward slashed in image and br tags. Not a big deal but do add them The site is very nice. I like it. If you want to add some images might I sugest looking into CSS image sprites. put all images into one image. THe file size of the one will be smaller than all the images added together, and you will issue fewer http requests. In English that means faster than just using the ole <img> tag way of doing it. Here, read learn make money http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites YOu might want to also add a bgimage to the body. Check ut http://bgpatterns.com/, cool little site for making well, background images Good luck to you!
Thanks a lot for the input, I'll try to work on the design, even though I kinda lack ideas at the moment Thanks a lot le4ner, I'll check that out!
Slow as h**... Here in Sweden with 100mbit broadband your site takes like 20 sec to load. Other then that, great work!
Thanks a lot for your feedback everyone. I changed the instructions and took the 'add a story' out of the main pannel. I made them be blue also so that they re easier to see. Is it ugly, is the 'add a story' button easy to find? Thanks!
Hi, I changed the design: new background changed the brown to orange and added a link to comics of the short stories on my site on both sides. Do you think it looks better now? Do you like the overall concept? Thanks for your comments! www.jinxed.org
Site like this should look "fun" and I think you have accomplished that. Now you just need to monetize...especially if you can get banners/adsense place within content so it blends. Just a recommendation based solely on my opinion...you might consider making header nearly full screen width and placing navigation graphics to one side so it fits everyones screens better. The graphics look good but are cut off...need to scroll back and forth. Would also allow you to add a small banner or adsense to the graphical backgrounds within you navigation. Best of luck.
Thanks Siteshrine, just one thing though, which graphics are cut off? Are you talking about the background image? As for monetization, I think my site will get huge so I don't want to monetize right now. When I'll be at 5 or 10k visitors a day then I will. Do you guys think not having ads right now will help it spread or is it useless? As for the blending, idon't if you saw one of the comics that are integrated at the right of some stories? there is one on this page: http://jinxed.org/?page=6 I'm thinking about having chikita 125x125 ads that will be integrated the same way. What do you think?
I was referring to the comics and illustrations image being cut off and making page too wide. As for advertising...I don't see that you gain anything by not monetizing the site. I honestly can not think of a single site that exists or is online without some sort of profit on it.
Thanks a lot for the feedback once again guys, SiteShrine I did what you recommended and made the side pivture less large and also added a friend's ad, I'll soon sell pay ads. Also, we are now providing a widget to our users. It displays one of the fun stories from our websites on their blog or website. It is customizable in color and auto adapts in size and can be found here: http://jinxed.org/rss-api-widgets-and-cool-free-stuff/ I'd like to know if the tutorial is easy to understand and if all webmasters will manage to install the widget. My two questions are: - Do you think it's cool? - Is it easy to use? Thanks a lot, and of course you can keep the widget if you like it, it's free.
