Hello all

Wow, that's a really nice looking site. My only criticism (well, not really) is that you didn't use WordPress. But I'm a little biased there.

I'm not a gamer (too addicting!), so I'm not your market, but I think you're off to a great start with this one. Well done!

Now tell me - did you code that by hand or did you use a site builder of some sort. I can't see any reference in the source code, so I'm curious.

I coded it by hand in Aptana Studio 3.

I'm a web design/scripting student so I don't like using prebuilt stuff, I like doing it myself because I like to know that I did it all with my own hands.

Kind of like the difference between making a cake out of a box and making one from scratch.

The only reason I would use wordpress is if it offers some benefit other than "ease of building" because I enjoy building my sites so it doesn't bother me to code it. But, I'm a complete newb to this scene so I don't know lol.

And thank you for the compliments on the site!

Should I put my real post in a different thread? lol

Real post, meaning what? You're welcome to continue the discussion here. ;-)

[Ranger85]

I meant a thread that isn't an "introduction" lol. No matter either way, don't mind me lol.

[Lynn Terry]

Would you like me to change the Title of this thread?

[Ranger85]

lol its not a big deal, just didnt know if it would confuse people or something not knowing there is an actual discussion in here and not just a "hello".

No biggy, you already know it's here. What else could I need? :P

I hope you like my website. Of the ones I've made its probably one of the ones I'm most happy with.

I've also been looking at your elite forum thingy.

It sounds kind of like something I could benefit from cause I work on projects better when I have someone to answer too lol.

If I can get a site or two making some money I might have to join up.

As for the elite forum, the rate will be going up this Tuesday, May 8th so I would highly recommend you go ahead and join now.

I would stick with and focus on one website in the beginning.

And if you want to start a new thread for input on your site, that's totally fine. You might want to join the elite forum and then there is a special section in there where Lynn and all of the members look at and review websites.

I wish I could join now but unfortunatly moths are flying out of my wallet and it just wont be possible to join before the price increase.
