When I say first site, i mean first one that had any content.Originally posted by exiot
why would you buy a domain for starting your first proper site? I mean I had made a load of websites for about 2 years before I decided to buy some hosting and a domain.
The grey DHTML nav bar doesn't look too good in the site, maybe a darker shade of blue?
My domain + hosting was only UK£16 a year, so thats a bit of a bargain IMO, and I was fed up of ads!
I assume by the DHTML nav bar, you mean the menu (which is javascript:P): i tried a darker shade of blue and it just looked tacky tbh.. I decided to go for grey because i like the contrast. I'll try some more blues tho, thanks for the info

looks good.
I would probably take the border off the table on the homepage and just apply a light background colour to it.
Site works in MSIE (what doesn't!), Mozilla [1.3.1] and Opera [6].
The HTML Code when validated turns up the following: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miniresource.com&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional
I would also recommend setting up a script in php (loads of them available over the interweb) for people to contact you rather than an email link as you cannot assume the viewer has an email account on the pc they are using.
Does it cover the new mini? (doesn't really say)
How do I get back from the forum to the rest of the site? I presume the board allows you to replace the Invision Power Board Logo with your own.
the url didnt work tho
ill look into that php script, cheers.
I didnt put the BMW MINI in for a few reasons: 1-its not very well liked by classic mini owners. 2-I dont really like it. 3-there is all the info you need already on official sites
The forums arent completely finished yet still need to skin them, change the logo and put a link back to the site on them or I was thinking of making the forum open in a new window instead: what do you think? 0 -

It worked fine for me again but anyway try it yourself on http://validator.w3.org/ (you will need to tell it what type of doctype is being used [I assume HTML 4.01 Transitional] and I assumed that the document encoding is Western European! Those two in theory should be included in your code as follows:-Originally posted by commited [/i]

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> which goes at the top of the document before the <HTML> tag.
The next tag goes somewhere inbetween the <HEAD> & </HEAD> tags.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">0 -

I also looked up the php mail thing - i was wondering if http://www.mymailform.com seemed like a good one to use
Or are there better ones?0 -

If you'd like to get yourself more experience with PHP, I'd advise writing your own. It's pretty easy.
Do a quick search about the PHP mail() function and also some stuff on email address validation using regular expressions.
Or you could download a preprepared script

I read the Sams teach yourself...etc book on PHP a while back, and I just wrote a site, using that book as a reference. PHP is a really nice language. The loose syntax is what makes it IMO. If you know any other languages, especially Perl, it shouldn't pose any issues.
