    Very nice Capt. Picard! Very cleanly laid out and put together. My one critique would be that the font is very large to me, but that isn't really a bad thing. It's much better than the hundreds of sites of seen with font that is much too small to read :tear:

     

    But yeah, It looks very professional :o

    Getting better! Try bolding it, that'll make it even easier to read.

     

    For and HTML tutorial (actually XHTML, but I'm not going to bog you down with that right now :laugh:) go here:

     

    Getting Down With XHTML

     

    If you pardon the cheesy name, it's actually a very good tutorial and it will give you a nice start into CSS as well (which is a must for web design!)

     

    Edit: It's a very basic tutorial, but it explains things very well and it has several referance sites. As for the actual site, it's getting better, but my personal preferance is sites that are less busy and more streamlined. Try a solid and complimentary color and make the image the focus.

    I am well aware of that, but it happens to be the most commonly used OS. So until either Microsoft produces a better OS (ha!) or something else becomes more widely used, users must learn how to protect it as much as possible. Becuaue I highly doubt many people will be willing to reinstall their entire OS every year. Some may not even know how to do that or where to go to have it done.

    It's nice, but my suggestion would be (since this is my personal preferance) that you do something shaped more like this:

    Makes it easier to scroll through posts, and I think it looks a little more dynamic that way. And Picard would fit in a little better (althought the idea of three animated characters and one real characters may make for an odd looking sig...)

     

    Just my opinion :blink:

    I'm just looking at all of these and realizing how many people have poor resolution and are still using IE o.O

     

    Not a bad thing, I'm just not used to it....

     

    The picutre that's on this computer is a family photo, and the one I've got on my computer is a variation of the same one MANVERU's got, except I edited a pic of Janeway in it. Wish I had a copy of the pic to post...

    For mine...Trekkie should be rather obvious :dontgetit:

     

    Mage is a little more complicated. My friend used to write a lot of fanfic for X-men and stuff, so she stuck her friends in with different abilities. I was a mage. It kind of stuck...^.^

     

    I also had PenguinMage (penguins were my favorite animal), but I think it had been taken on a site I was signing up for, so I switched it to TrekkieMage. I like it better anyways :blink:

    Very nicely done. I'm not sure about the commbadge in the top corner, but that may just be me.

     

    The bottons are nice, but I don't think they match very well. There really isn't much else purple in the site. Maybe a gold or a blue (to match the TNG lettering)

     

    What will be going in the content?

    I still think the atmosphere that the cooking creates is worth it. The entire house just smells like the holidays. It also helps if it's not just one person. We have the most fun when a bunch of people come over and just relax and bake. My mom wasn't even that upset when she burned the pecan pie, she just laughed and my uncle ate it :laugh:

    This year the first story that popped up was one about my mother. Apparently at the tender age of four, at a fancy dinner party at her very *very* proper grandmothers house, dropped the F bomb. Twice. And that's what she ment to say. I think I nearly choked on my turkey.

     

    On the actual turkey day dinner we had a bunch of friends over. Five dogs and a slightly tipsy member of the moto crew (motorcycle crew) stopped traffic for us while we were walking the dogs. Without her motorcycle. The two cars were very confused. We couldn't stop laughing for a while after that :(

    Yes. It has something to do with the tradition, and filling the house with family and friends to cook and eat. We usually cook the pies the night before, then everything else during the day. We also split up the cooking (we average 15 people for dinner).

     

    This year we had two turkey dinners (one for family, one for friends, since some of the family couldn't make it out until Friday). Both dinners had 15 people, and were very much worth the effort.

     

    What I'm not so sure about is the leftovers :(
