Hi,
 
From what I just read in your opening post I'd say go for it... grab it mate.
 
You sound like a talented guy. I'd be suprised if you didn't get work...

Hi,
 
I've got to be honest, it's not great. Looks really outdated. Also, scrolling marquees are a no-no and so are animtated gif (the flags at the bottom).
 
As well as that the width seems strange and the margins and padding aren't right.
 
Looking again this might be a spam effort as I see 2005 in the footer.

Hello,
 
Here is a rough color palette, that imho could be matching for such site
 

Hi,
 
You need an action and method properties in your <form> tag, like:
 

<form action="process.php" method="post">
 
(process.php would hold your php code)
 
Also, you can have type="submit" in your button tag, like so:
 

<input style="width: 150px;" type="submit" id="reg" value="Register" />

Use Wordpress because it will be easier to make a website like Vecteezy with it. You just need to create a custom theme and use custom fields. If you know some wordpress, trust me, it will not be hard to create it.

I PM'ed this to Sam, but it might be relevant to someone else:
 
I suggest you constantly read up on the way other people are doing things, always do tutorials, constantly improve yourself.
 
A few good sites I read:
 
http://css-tricks.com
http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk
 
Even if you don't like the end result of the tutorial you are doing, I promise you will have learned valuable tips and techniques that you will eventually unwittingly apply to your designs and coding as if they were second nature!
 
+1 to the Charity idea. Also friends and family might want a random website..
 
If that fails, either create your own brief for a ficticious company and create a website for them. Even better to get someone else to create the brief for you. We have a design competition on this forum, they usually have a pretty good brief, you could use that.
 
Slowly getting better at what you do, and getting noticed while you improve.

Yeah I really like it too. Little details like the hover on the paragprahs is good to, although I'd style it so the cursor stayed on a pointer rather than changing to a text cursor.

Hi,
 
I've used this before and it's excellent: http://www.comm100.com/livechat/
 
I couldn't believe it's free. works really well...

PHP self isn't secure, you can inject stuff into it if you know what you're doing.
 
If you create a variable before you include the file then you can use it inside the included file as following.
 
Main file

$currentPage = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; if(stristr($currentPage, 'index') { $pageTitle = 'Index'; } include('header.php');
 
 
Include File

<title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>

Hi,
 
I think you have an error in your query line, you are putting $born var in as a $_POST var, it should be:
 

$born = $_POST['year']."".$_POST['month']."".$_POST['day']; mysql_query(" INSERT INTO ... (born) VALUES( '$born' )") or die(mysql_error());
 
As you're already assigning the date $_POST vars to $born.

Hi,
 
Absolute Positioned means elements such as divs that are given absolute positioning
 
Frames are a way of creating a site using a collection of html files. For example you might have a menu frame on the left vertically (menu.html) and your main page on the right (index.html) and your header up the top (header.html).
 
Personally, I'd recommend never to use frames unless you really, really had to for some reason. They are bad in so many ways.
 
If you use Dreamweaver, learn XHTML, CSS and using only 'code view' lay your site out using div tags and CSS to postion and style them.

Hi,
 
Did you have permission by Team 17 to use their Worms graphic?
