I am currently working on my first website, and have found BlueVoda an excellent program to use. It took a while to find my way about, but plenty of reading of the various forum threads meant that many of the queries I had were answered there. I am grateful to those contributors who regularly post with tips and information for the benefit of others. I personally found Navaldesign's instructions on using i-frames invaluable, and Bether's informative e-book on search engine optimization was also extremely helpful.
My son and I are creating our website based on his meetings with 'celebrities'. It is not a commercial site in any way, so high rankings with search engines to generate 'business' is not an aim. Nevertheless, in the interests of doing the job properly, we have tried to pay due regard to things like meta tags etc.
The site is coming along nicely, and although the background research for each 'celebrity' does takes time to do, it is also a very interesting part of the project. I am keen to know at this stage how the site is looking on other people's computers, and if any problems are evident. We would welcome any comments that you may have on what we have done so far. Bear in mind this is our first website attempt!
The idea is that by clicking on to a name on the menu list on the left, you will be taken straight to the page. All the names in the 'James Bond' list have now been completed and the links should be working. The other names should be completed over the next three or four months, all being well.
The site has been designed like this for flexibility, so that it is easy to add further names to the menu and just create the appropriate page. The pages have also been 'standardised' to make everything look consistent although the positioning of text and images on each page will vary.
The 'home page' is somewhat 'temporary' at this stage and will be revised later, probably when the other pages are completed.
Perhaps you could log on and tell me what you think. Many thanks.
