My first site

This is my very first site…The links do not work.

Do I need a preloader for the image?

www.pinchpile.com

It took me about 5 minutes to load without a preloader so the answer is um…YES. :stuck_out_tongue:

what speed’s your connection…
its only 130 kb

ONLY 130 KB!!!

I have a 24 k connection so I am the preloader master since I spend so much time with them. :smiley:

loaded fine for me… as long as u keep it that small it shouldnt be a problem, but id thrown one on anyway for good measure and for ppl with sucky conns

the sites not too shabby for a 1st… id get new fonts… add some content and transitions …

its really hard to judge 1st sites… but youve got a good start

cheers

when you say ‘get new fonts’ do you mean embed them?

ive been avoiding embedded fonts cause they are blurry.

for a first site, you have some pretty strong design ideas. Very nice for a first, I’d stick with this idea.

thanks a lot xxviii

no… i mean id use a font other than arial. i gets kinda bland after a while

How about using a pixel font?

PM me and i’ll give you the one Kirupa uses for the buttons. :wink:

nah it’s ugly and boring.

upgrade: music link

yeh id probably change the font to something like verdana

upgrade: flash link(1 movie).

or at least use a nice common font like “Verdana” :slight_smile: If you want custom fonts, eayh try pixel fonts, but only use them with static textfields at 8 px
