Keep working! I see lots of heart and potential. Don't listen to those who do not do.

But keep developing it, make it easy to navigate.

Any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism?

What constructive critisism could you give about a site that is practically empty?

The only contructive thing I can think of is that the site needs more work before it can be critisized. Besides I wasn't aware that Me, Myself and u was looking for critisism.

You're doing fine. Try to keep thinking of ways to improve your website and to make it distinctive from others.

I can't find a good layout it's so totally sucks

Well forget the site for a minute and lets get you guys to help by answering this lil'l question.

Do you think walkthroughs, screenshots, easter eggs, ect to be accessed by the main link menu or off the game page by selecting the game than selecting the walktrough, screenshot, ect link of that games page?

I think the second idea is the best

PS. Mabey i could yous pull down menus. But proberly not.

It's good that you're having a go at something like this. I'd personally prefer to select each game then see all the different options (easter eggs, walkthroughs etc) but in the end it's up to you.

For some reason (which has everything to do with the el crappy condition my computer's in at the moment), I'm not able to access the site at the moment. But from the context clues in this page, I say don't give up hope. People like Rog just want a rise out of people, so don't listen to him. No one else is. The main thing I think you should do is find some reason for a KQ fan or player to pick your site out of all the others. They can get walkthrus, point lists, cheats, music, and tons of other KQ-related stuff from a million different sources. The trick is to make them want to get it from YOU.

Some tips in this: Make something that isn't anywhere else, like a fanfic series or self-interpreted KQ fanart or wallpapers, or have a forum to discuss the games in. You don't have to take any of these suggestions, but I'm just telling you what I enjoy seeing when I go to fansites. Good luck and don't give up hope!

Yeah'd it be cool to have some KingsQuest wallpaper

A few points of critique, for the rest, wonderful that your putting energy into something like this.

If you are searching for walkthroughs, screenshot, ect. You need to go to The Games page and select the game you want information of.

Please sign our guest book so we know how to improve for you.

This block of text in the left column flows all the way up to the border. The rest of the content in this column has a significant spacing. Try adding a margin to it.
Next to that, you've got a fairly light coloured background in the left column, but your text is in white, another light colour. Try either darkening the background colour or the text colour.
The <p> blocks already have a classname 'sidelinks'. Go to images/myfreetemplates.css and edit the following:

.sidelinks {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #2271A0;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
}

Add the stuff I bolded.

I'll take more time to look through the rest soon.

I edit it and go to save it but it comes up with run-time errors

JWar · #18 Post by **JWar** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 8:09 am

What runtime errors exactly?

Well, I've never worked with frontpage, so try opening the css file in notepad or wordpad, adding those lines, and uploading it then.

Kurdt · #21 Post by **Kurdt** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 6:52 am

Just was able to check it out. It shows a lot of good promise. You've definitely got the right ideas for a site like this. However, here are two tips as to the ordering of your content that I think you'll need:

1) Make the updates and news in the main body of the opening page. Right now, they're all squished to the side of the page and that is not good for reading important site info like that.

2) You really need a bigger font than 8-point. I'm squinting just to catch the information. Like my mommy always said, "you can never go wrong with 12-point font!" On HTML code, I believe it's number 4 font size. Go with that and you're gravy, baby!

JWar · #22 Post by **JWar** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 8:19 am

Try and keep font sizes in percentages and not actual pixel height. By doing this, you allow people with bad eyes to set their browser settings to larger fonts if they can't read it. Design it for the normal setting, but take into account that people might want to enlarge or shrink them.
