This has gone way of track - intersting thou, but we're here to help krash_io by reviewing his site http://208.217.222.33/

Quote: Someone sugggested white links, I might try that. I will defiantly try changing the color scheme a little bit. Does anyone have any good ideas for new colors? Link the nav links, the body links and the overall site color? If so please send me a hex code for the colors.

How about a more softer blue or a mustard color, something that goes well with other colors, I think this is probably one of the hardest parts, choosing a color scheme

how bout light brown with mandarin high lights (light orange)

I don't know what a "cookier" is or does but there are many ways of capturing email addresses. Like:

Stripping them from web sites, forums, guest books etc.

Also you can buy email addresses. Some companies will actually sell your email address to other companies, which then resell them!

My advice. It isn't worth sending unsolicited email.

I know of a Bahamas related newsletter, which had over 2,000 subscribers we did an ad swap in it. Our newsletter has over 875 subscribers (much less). Whenever we send it out we get an extra 200 visitors to our web site directly from our newsletter. When the newsletter we swapped ads with sent theirs out we only got 1 or 2. You see the method by which they built their email list was by harvesting (stripping them from Bahamas related web sites. Our list was built through our web site using opt-in (subscribers wanted to receive our newsletter and we always get great feedback from them). On our web site we also state that it is a private mailing list and will never be sold or given away for any reason. For those of you who may be interested in checking out our newsletter: http://www.knowlesrealty.com/mlistbi.asp

So you see our mailing list even though small produces better results.

however, if you do give your address to someone, even someone else, isn't it possible for the "cookier" to use that for your "marketing benefit" as in this case

>>I don't accept cookies cuz I figure it helps keep down the level of spam I receive<<

Cookies don't capture email addresses.

I don't accept cookies cuz I figure it helps keep down the level of spam I receive - I'm happy to see people make $$ - I hope for the sake of their eternal souls they use it wisely

I'd say that depends on yer goals

>>Why are people so against cookies? I mean they just make your Internet experience better, that’s all. They just keep track of your shopping list at a site or your loging name or the date and time you visitied, I mean what the hell are you so afraid of people tracking?<<

In one word: Jealousy

Some people just don't like other people making money when they aren't. You know the saying misery loves company. You can always gauge your success by how many people are envious of you.

Believe in your self. You can do it.

Ignore them and go for gold.

Someone said that my HTML code documentation in my imported CSS file was messing up Netscape users. Is that right? Netscape doesn't even support HTML stlye documentation? I'll try taking it out and seeing what happens.

Also, to who ever said I will never get rich off this site- I never said I was going to be the next Bill Gates because of RecipeBOMB.com. But I think that it will be very possible for me to make $500 of the site in a year, because thats about what it cost my to maintain it.

Someone sugggested white links, I might try that. I will defiantly try changing the color scheme a little bit. Does anyone have any good ideas for new colors? Link the nav links, the body links and the overall site color? If so please send me a hex code for the colors.

Also someone said they never take cookies? Why not? Why are people so against cookies? I mean they just make your Internet experience better, thats all. They just keep track of your shopping list at a site or your loging name or the date and time you visitied, I mean what the hell are you so afraid of people tracking?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone,

Krash_io

Make the navigation links a different color like white so they stand out. Also I suggest you get rid of the margins.

"placed on the web blacklist" - oh, no, not another one!!

hey - no one rants on about the evils of aggressive corporate advertising than mme - esp. since here in the States, it's all tax-deductible (and therefore heavily taxpayer-subsidized) - unfortunately, I think you can pretty well count on it being effective - those boys woudn't spend their two-thirds if they weren't gettin' a good return on it

I've produced a humble recipe site (Cooking My Way) - it's even got a db tied into the "Index" - if I submitted it here for review, I'm sure it would be duly chopped and shredded :eek: , so I won't hold it up as anything to learn from - but you're free to copy the clipart (some of which I've clumsily edited - I'm no artist either) - also take any recipes you might like - they're only © The Creator and his lawyers are real busy most 'a the time
