Title: Check out our fan site! (Updated!)
Post by: Will on June 17, 2003, 08:20:50 pm
As most of you already know, Mandi and I have a fan site, vanessafanatic.com (http://www.vanessafanatic.com). We have been working on it over the months, and we recently did a redesign. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to drop us a line.

Also, Mandi has started her own little subsite, vfdesigns (http://www.vanessafanatic.com/vfdesigns/). Check that out too! She'll make sigs or whatever graphics you want, for free. Don't hesitate to drop her a line and place an order!

Thanks!

Will
Co-Webmaster, vanessafanatic.com

Eeeek! IFrames = bad!  Make them go away!

Come on Will, I thought you were a computer wiz?  Page needs sprucing up.

Hey, if I could think of a different way to implement the design, I would. I haven't even touched either page at this point.

How would you preserve the design using something other than iframes? Tables perhaps? Maybe, but I'm too lazy to do that right now. That had actually gone through my mind, because it's annoying to scroll through the tiny little window and not be able to see a full page. You can specify infinite length with tables, IIRC.

I'll screw around with it later.

I also am going to try to get the whole thing good with the w3c. LOL.

To sum it up Andrew, I'm using iframes because I'm too lazy to do better. Mandi seems to be happy with the idea, so it's going to stay that way until I get a metric ton of time (time measured in mass, I am crazy!). Maybe this weekend.

Have any suggestions on how to make the transition? I already have the site on PHP, so I could just have the index page and have a query on the link and use that to determine which server side include I am going to use. Of course, I'm sure other people on here have some better ideas, so post em!

Ehh... I got lazy enough to reimplement the main site in tables. Check it out. vfdesigns will stay as is for the time being.

Much better.  Still too much "white" space (in your case, blue space) on the sides.  Sometimes white space can be used to create a cool look, but im not seeing it here.  It just looks like you didn't have anything to put there.

Also, I would make those links mapped on the picture into mouseovers of some sort.  These days if you want a graphics based menu, then you need to have the links change colors.  People have come to expect it.
