Show us your sites!

Hey jcatz - glad that helped. I'd guess the next thing in line would be the .swf file you've got. What did you make this with? Do you have an option in that utility to compress the images?

Your swf file is quite large. Looks like site-perf and other such tools kinda just barf on it, but appears to be over 4mb from what I can tell. Looks like it is in the load order such that the rest of the page is waiting on it to get going.

I bet without that flash or with it optimized, your page would load fine. Most of your other graphics are under 5k each (save the header @ 50k).

Thanks, I'm still working on it. Yes, the .swf file is very large (OK, huge) so I'm going to have to do some investigating to get it smaller. I created it with XWD. The point of our website is to be inclusive of members' pets so it's a rather important inclusion (and still growing).

Okay I was playing with webdesigner, and even as it is
easy you still make mistakes and don`t know stuff, which you
find out as you go.

Anyhow, I made a mock site, and when people see it
they know what it is all about

The site is nice but the content is Hilarius! I wish I could be so funny! great work!!!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I always wanted to do this, and now I could through webdesigner.
And now I just have to wait until the more advanced people in here start their
tutorials for the more complicated stuff. But I guess they are still having to
much fun themselves figuring it all out. I am patient.

(And the big thing was to figure out how to create the subfolder in my
normal website space, and after some trial and error, I figured it out.)

W00dy, I like your integration of the scrolling news. Looks like this was done with coffee cup's news reader, yes? Effective.

The only thing I think is weird is the two tabs on the right end linking to other sites. In general web terms, tab links like this stay internal to the site - not that I've ever SEEN such a rule, but I've also never seen a website that links out of the site by a tab, which sort of indicates "section". A tab of links would be more appropriate, or the links to these locations either in a side bar of the footer or something.

The more people are doing sites here it seems the more folks are getting a handle on things and starting to make pages that look a little less Xara and little more "traditional". I can see that we will get to the point, as a community, where it will be difficult to distinguish a Xara site from a "normal" one.

Just finished (almost) this one.

I am trying to figure out now how to put my php
email form in a page. I have all the php on the server but don't know how to use the placeholder I guess
