Not bad at all for a first try.

The nav bar looks pretty cool, but IMO it would be better if the links were graphics instead of text. Some nice graphics dividing up the page would help, the main content area is a little bland.

BTW, i noticed you like cradle of filth. :up:

yeah, cradle of filth rules

anyway, i still have to tweak the site, but as for the graphics, i think i know what im gonna do

the bar is going to be edited to have the links as maps, but i just wanted something simple and easy for right now...

i now have an updated link: http://www.randomerror.tk/

i turned off the banner ad, but im not sure if it worked... :-|

It's like looking at myself...
height... weight... hair color... hairstyle...
Interests: Boys, Computers, Biking, First Person Shooters, Half-Life, Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3
Music: Alternative, Punk,Classical, Death Metal, Hardcore, Hard Rock, Techno, and a few other Genres

Yes. lol


Anyway, it looks nice. Easy to navigate... I agree with Atmo about the links though; the text does look a little plain.

I also agree with psycho... your jacket just plain rocks :up: :cool:

a) nine inch nails songs are from quake, right? :D

b) nice site design, especially for a first effort. how'd you figure out the tables in dw? they're a bit tricky at first! the site DOES need a little bit more color, imo, to balance the black out. and what's that spyware install notice i got when it loaded? that's gotta go ;)

good job. keep it up!

Try www.brinkster.com

You'll get a subdomain, 30mb of disk space, 16mb per day of bandwidth (plenty for an average site that doesnt offer stuff for download) and i think you get cgi as well. I used them before i switched to paid hosting and they were pretty good.

might i suggest, instead of the frames you are currently using, that you look into tables? they're easier to use, better looking, and less awkward on the page.

Only post those pictures when necessary, otherwise, they just suck large hairy testicles.

As for the site, bah frames. I hate frames, glad to see you used gif's, wise move. It's a little simple but for a first attempt it's good.

Good work dude :p
But the white line, the frame border, I'll put it in blue.
Since is your text color :D

yeah, ill update that when i get back to my house, The site, i like it being simple and easy, the 2 colors are exactly what i want.

Im gonna add my page of poems to the page, as soon as i write some. ive got a couple, but i havent copied to them over to my site.

what i want to get is an understanding of Flash so i can have a bitchin neato site. thatd be sweet. i just dont know how to use it. ill have to ask my friend who is a "flash god"

the bar between the frames, shouldnt be white, it should be black. ill look into why its not. also, id love to be able get a CGI or perl forum, but im not sure if neko has the right server to allow me to install one. ill have to ask him about it.

anyway, im gonna be having some updates when i can find time to do them.

also, question, i want to have only a couple cells to be outlined in the tables that i use, it'd be basically to make it look more... organized, being that the borders would be connected to the lines. but i dont think it would work. ill have to see if i can figure it out.

kinda like the code that i inserted. but i dont know if that will work. i dont want the entire table bordered, just individual cells of it.

anyway, if u have any thoughts on the subject, feel free to reply.

well still trying to figure out how to do the tables like that, but i added my art page, and put in the .tk redirect again, so http://randomerror.tk will work again, yay!

To have individial cells bordered, simply insert a 100%x100% table inside the chosen cell, give it a bgcolor the same as your border/line colour and a cellpadding (or cellspacing) of 1, then insert another 100%x100%table inside that one, and make this one's bgcolor black.

Got that?<TD>
<table bgcolor=blue cellpadding=1 width=100% height=100%><tr><td>
<table bgcolor=black width=100% height=100%><tr><td>

INSERT TEXT HERE

</td></tr></table> <--closes black table
</td></tr></table> <--closes blue table
