How are my site designing skills? Be gentle please!

Thanks for posting that - there are some useful d'loads there.
Opinion? 'Tis a matter of personal taste only - green text upon black doesn't like me very much.
Google ads and Google ads and Google ads on your website...
Don't chuck out the babies with the bathwater ;)Quote:

They way you list your Google ads in the middle of a list of articles is against the Adsense TOS. It more than encourages people to click those ads - it tricks people in to clicking them. If someone were to report you to Google, they would must likely close your Adsense account.
Listing them under a heading of "Latest Articles" doesn't help your case either.

Thanks for your advice, everyone....I think I might remove the ads from the main page, they are kinda tacky....but overall, is it a good resource for the average joe?
Sorry, but no, it isn't :(
It seems more to be a advertising site.
as if, dood! There's a ton of content on that site!
lol I mean the average joe who wants to start a website! Someone who's not an expert at html (kinda like me)
The average Joe doesn't know that most of the text in your pages comes from Google ads and that you need him to finance your homepage project, don't you think so?
Comments like that only prove to me that you haven't gone past the home page.
Oh yes, I've tried to read some of your content. But it's so bad to read your bold white font on the black background of your pages.
Perhaps, you are "one of those who have fallen victim into these graphic design mistakes? There is still time to change..." :) (Source: your own page in a article about "design mistakes").
Sorry about my sarcasm...
Remi
AH HA! So you admit I DO have a lot of content! Next witness, your honor.....
adleym, do you use that free wysiwyg nvu.com website thingie? if so, is it any good? do you like it?
Bob:
Yes I use it, and it works perfectly. If you download version 2.8, it's freeware. And there's a review and link to the download on my site...kinda sounds like content to me! Sorry about my sarcasm lol
I agree with Remi... I would say it's very minimal to NO content... :rolleyes: The most noticeble thing is the Google ads.
This IS a LOT of QUALITY content: http://www.xaraxone.com/
This is looking more and more like fishing for Google Adsense clicks... Tempted to close this thread --- and perhaps spend 5 minutes to write that email to the Google Adsense Team myself.

Please wait a minute with the first task.
After reading such a wise text about "graphic design mistakes" on this not so well designed website, I begin to wonder, why he/she talk about things without knowing something about it.
Therefore, my first question is, if you, adleym, are really the author of the text "Avoiding Some Graphic Design Mistakes" on your website?
Remi
Oh, I never assumed he/she claimed to have written those articles... :( I thought it was meant as a "layout" question. :rolleyes: It was so obvious that the articles were copied so that I didn't even bother to check.
I did it now though - the first two (only) articles that I checked were copied from conceptvisionz.net and articlefocus.com - don't know about the "graphics design mistakes" one, as I didn't find it.
However, easy for you to do yourself - copy a portion of the text and add quotations marks and do a search in Google - like this -> "this is the text remi is looking for. Sure he will find it when"

That's the reason, why I would like to know, if she/he is really the author of this article and the following ones on his web site:
- "Avoid these graphic design mistakes" (same article as "Avoiding Some Graphic Design Mistakes" by Florie Lyn Masarate)
- "7 Keys To Web Design Success" (same article as "7 Pointers about Web Design" by Maricon)
- "Myths about writing website content" (same article as "5 Myths About Writing Web Site Content" by Michelle Howe)
I don't know, if her/his name is Florie and Maricon and Michelle in one person. But perhaps she/he makes a good statement here, and I put the saddle on the wrong horse...
Remi
It's all copied... :rolleyes:
Looked at the thread again - posted with a false pretence. I'm closing it.
