[poll coming]

Yeah, so, I've been working on my website. What do you think? Advice and constructive criticism may be taken into account on future changes, unhelpful criticism will be ignored (duh).

I've gone for a simple layout, because it's easy to read and quick to load. I think a black background makes it easier on the eyes because less of the screen is shining at full power. I admit the content of the site is at times lacking, but that ought to improve. I've included some special features, such as forums and RSS.

Here's the link: http://www.freewebs.com/alienninjamonkey

I was going to review it, but I saw the word 'Nightwish' in lovely large letters to one side. So I refuse to look any further.

*turns back*

I like the "Labour Sucks" bit, thats why it got the good mark, but i'm against the anti-microsoft bit.

yay for this!

OK, so people disagree about content, but since I have discussion forums for people to discuss the content, I guess that's good?

Alternative to the Xbox is the Gamecube?

No no no no, go PS2.

High quality nightwish review you have there :rolleyes: Accurate, too:)

Other than that, meh. It's okayish. I voted "It sucks arse" just to be annoying.

Bastards.

Too maddox-esque, I think. Also, I think your criticism of science is a bit unfounded. Sure it's philosophically possible that something could travel faster than light, but scientists wouldn't be very useful if they just went around saying "I don't know...I guess anything's possible...".

Feel free to disagree in detail in the comments section (http://s3.invisionfree.com/cooldudeshangout/index.php?showtopic=214).

Maddox-esque? Apart from colour scheme, it's not really like maddox that much...

No, but they can say what theories do and don't match observations.

But they'd be even more useless if they said "we know all that we can ever know, so we will not do research".

Yeah, I don't really know much about the technicalities of music, I just listen to it... but I included a link to let people judge for themselves.

Someone was going to insult it sooner or later, might as well let them do it in the poll.

The index page (if you can call it that) is basic at best...it needs something to suck people's attention in....why are you making the website? why aren't there any pictures on the index page to mage people WANT to click on the links? just my 2p

The things need to be longer and my name for the board (same name as I am using) is not working. I would like to debate you on some of the topics.

You are trying to register a forum name and it isn't working? Can you explain exactly what the problem is?

well done, not every one can put a website together, I Iknow I couldn't!

You could have said which of their albums you've listened to, what you're favourite tracks are, even a vague attempt at why you like it (big, operatic sound, the woman has a sexy voice etc.)

Come on, you know she does. ;)

"No, but they can say what theories do and don't match observations."

That being the theory that the speed of light can't be surpassed.

"But they'd be even more useless if they said "we know all that we can ever know, so we will not do research""

Well obviously, but I don't see any scientists that just sit around with other scientists drinking tea and talking about how they know everything than can be known...

The forum registration system seems to be working ok. Sure you didn't click "log in" instead of register? Here's the registration link: link (http://s3.invisionfree.com/cooldudeshangout/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00)

Just takes practice. HTML Goodies (http://www.htmlgoodies.com) is a good site to learn stuff from.

I haven't got any albums yet, I've only heard the samples from the site so far. But you're right, I should have included some more detail.

No, because then they'd be called priests

Oops... I also realised that the Nightwish "article" had the wrong title (fixed now). I also added a quote from wikipedia to give it a little more explanation. I know, still lacking, but better.

Getting there, I guess. :) Keep working on it.

But take a break to go buy some albums. Start with Wishmaster, if only because the booklet thingy has an unbleievably great picture of a very hot woman in it. ;) Totally worth the price of a CD :)
