Oh well, I am the odd-ball. That is ok though. I don't mind. My mamma always told me I was different.

Recipes are not really my thang but if it helped you see if your database was working then it was worth it.

lol thanks D-master I do appericate the support. I think i will attemp to yet again redesign the layout tonight, but it is the back end database that I'm mostly proud of. I think your the only one from these forums though that signed up so you are the only on here who can look at all that.

I still don't like the blue rollovers and think you should at least bold the nav text but ya know what? Why don't you just do what the heck you want. It is your web site and it is definately not work puking over a web site. Right? That takes all the fun out of it. All we can do here is give suggestions and everyone does have differences in opinions. And that is ok.

In my opinion the blue clashes really bad with the purple but if that is what you want then go for it. If everyone liked purple and blue together this would be a mighty boring world. And i think you deserve a hand for the recipe database. I couldn't have done it.

Keep trudging on!

Hey everyone I just made a few updates to the site. Could you please take a look at it now and tell me what you think?

http://www.Recipebomb.com

I added white links on the navagaion panel like ppl keep suggesting, I think it makes me want to puke but I'd like to hear what ya think about them.

I don't know why ppl had a hard time reading the blue links, I think they looked great and were easy enough to read, but then again the same site can look 100x different on someone else's machine.

The mods I made did mess up my page in NS a little bit but i will work on that later.

Thanks for the replies eveyone. It seems that page transitions don't go over well in these forums, but I posted a site review at siteownersforums.com or some other forums ( don't remember I use so many! ) and I got nothing but compliments on them.

Maybe I'll add an option to turn them off or something.

I will adjust the margins and nav links a little though.

Also I like the index card idea, never thought of that. But in a few days I'm going to build a "Shopping List" system so that users can click a button to add all of the ingredients of a recipe to a shopping list. I've only seem one other site that did that and thiers didn't work well at all. It would duplicate similar items like maybe "eggs" and "hard-boiled eggs" instead of just saying "eggs". I've set my database up in such a manner that I think I will be able to make a 95% accurate shopping list system.

Thanks again,

It has been mentioned before but the page transitions are somewhat annoying. I could probably take them once but every time that I click on a link, there they are again. I would reconsider them as they are a hindrance to someone doing multiple clicks on recipes. The graphics also need some work. Replace that clipart image up in the left corner and come up with a nice logo something that can 'brand' your site. You might also explain your site better to people. With a name like recipebomb.com, people might think that you only have recipes that bomb or create a (gut) bomb. The navbar could also be made to look better by changing the colors to make it stand out better. There is a site that my wife uses for recipes that gives her the option of printing it on an index card. Quite convenient.

The site looks fine to me but I didn't click around. I like your design! Great look and feel!!

ditto on the page transitions!
ditto on the graphics

Your body text could use a little breathing space (margins)on the left and right.

I haven't really much to add but I don't like the transitions for the record! I would also say that the hover colour on the links I would say should be a different colour than blue and make sure all your fonts match. The login parts seem to be default and padd out the table cells a bit more as I'm finding the text running very close to the edge is off putting when reading it.

krash_io — Sun, 27 Jan 2002 06:30:24 +0000

Will fix that.

I like the graphic you had on your page. Can I ask who made that for you? I would really like to have someone make a logo for my site but I'm poor and don't want to spend to much money.
