After some help and plagerizing from Felton Kel. I made a site. This is my first time attempting a website ever. I have a pretty large monitor (22") and have the website set up for 1024x768 so I don't really know how it will look on anything else, things may be a bit askew. And the stats on my stuff are a bit out of date right now, but I'm slowly getting them updated. But the link is in my sig.

Thanks to Felton for the help and hope you don't mind I stole some of your FAQ stuff, I just couldn't say it any better.

If anyone has problems with the clicky, try this

I'd like to eventually get my site set up as www.oobiktek.com but that may be a while.

Just a suggestion or two, btw the site looks pretty good.

Not everyone runs 1024x768. General website formatting should be done in my opinion to look good in at least 800x600, a resolution which many people are still running. An easy way to get your site fitting into that profile would be to use tables and headers. Instead of having the nav bar sitting on the left (which eats up almost 25% of the screen at 800x600) try moving it to the top using a header "include". This is easy to do and will save you tons of time if you ever end up changing your nav bar. There would be just 1 file to change instead of 1 for each page you have.

Also when taking info from other sources, it's best to state in the site at least where you quoted the information, or at least ask first and see if it is ok. On my site I have quoted/modified several public faq's and link to the original on the forums. Just a suggestion.

Felton. Your web site seems to be down. Looked at it last night but can't seem to get there right now.

Correct. I'm trying to ascertain what the problem is.

Your webhost needs to support php server side scripting. It is a simple pair (well after you figure out how to do it) of PHP scripts. I'd be happy to send you the source code if you PM me your e-mail address. I only ask that you put my name somewhere on the page crediting me. It can be modified to be a single file, but for simplicity I chose to have a "form" php file then "results" php file. Also the results automatically show the slicing %'s which you can take out, or modify if you want.

Thanks
