My first webpage! Advice, suggestions, and opinions needed!

I have been fooling around with creating my own WoW web page and it's turning out to be decent, I think lolimage....All i've got right now is the main page, no linkage yet.  I just want to know how it looks to everyone else. :) Thanks!image

    Just a few things:

    The tile effect of that background image really doesn't look very good. I'd personally go with something else (even just a plain colour) because that image even stretched wouldn't look right.

    Bit of a case of too many animations that don't really serve any purpose.

    Oh and shouldn't MMORPG.com be on the top of your favorite links section?  image

    Theres more but just a general overview of my first reactions.

    <lol> I think it's to busy looking, personally, the background tends to hide the fonts... you might want to add a link for "guides", maybe a forum, not sure what else. Might check some of the other fan sites and compare. I normally avoid geocities...

    Personally, it's your fan site and if you like, there you go!

    Hello Crazy_Albino. Ive got 4 things to say

    1. You look hot!

    2. Try using WoW related graphics/animation on your website

    3. Try formatting the layout of your images. Dont dump them on top of each other.

    4. You look hot! image

    Ok well heres a few tips

    1. Animations must have a purpose and not alot of them. Animations slows down connections and should not be placed throughout the page randomly.

    2. Backgrounds should be plain colored. If they are tiled, the images should be smaller. Or one large imagine for the background.

    3. Text should be readable over the background.

    Unless you're on dial up, then animations aren't a big deal.

    There's only a handful of people I know of still on dial up.

    Here's a webpage I made for my daughter.  Has a backgroud, but it's readable.  Simple...
