How Not To Post A Site Check
newbie
Posted: Thu, 2005-11-10 02:42
Hi,
I'm pretty much done with this website I've been working on for a while.
If a couple people could check out the front page of the site and make sure the graphics aren't broken up or getting lines in them or anything that would be awsome.
If you check around the inner pages for errors that would be awsome but I only really need the front page checked.

Hi Nick,
I checked your site in Firefox and IE for Windows. They look consistent from each other. You have some validation errors, no doctype for starters.
http://validator.w3.org/
I noticed you are using tables for layout, I didn't notice a lick of CSS declared.
This is my big chance . . . yep, I blew it . . .

Sorry, but you fail. :twisted:

Obviously you didn't read that. Therefore, you fail.

I'm not exactly sure if this is an actual site check or if the forum is being used to bump him up in the search engines.

This is his/her only post. There is also no css or even any inline style atributes, simply tables and font tags. I'm calling BS on this one.FREE CHEESE!!! NIEKIE SHOES FOR SAIL.

I suggest removing the link and moving it back to the site check forum in a locked condition.
It should serve as an object lesson.
cheers,

A pianist who has learned the wrong system of fingering cannot become a virtuoso until he has laboriously taught himself the proper method.
My site is slo-o-owly being reconstructed; visit anyway.

Moved, stickified, locked and retitled - to serve as a warning for those with site checks.
I've left the link in, in case anyone wants to see how not to code a webpage. I'll remove it if you think it necessary.
