Hey, they double as a Pool Cover
who wouldn't want such a multi-useful garment.
Check out <a href="http://www.fakesite.com"> www.genghisKsDogPorn.com </a> and <a href="http://www.notasite.com"> www.GKsNakedMongols.nu </a> For a rather intersting look at one of our CFCers
Oh yeah, and I'm selling my sleeping bag too. You could fit a tank in there, so as to better sneak attack some hapless Mongol Horsemen.

OK, since you're selling it, I hereby open the bidding at $1.00. Domain to be donated to this site, proceeds to establish the "Civ III Special Deal for CFC: Publisher's cost + 5% + Shipping" that CFC will offer its members when Civ III comes out.

If the CF domain name were for sale, I'd expect bidding increments to be in $100 or more amounts, and I would expect to see the bidding amount opened at $2000+ or more.

Instead of making a gazillian review posts, I have decided to just continue from the one that I have already made.
In the last 3 months, I have made so many templates for my site, that I have honestly lost count. My hard drive is FULL of old designs and content from versions of my site that have been on about 7 different servers, but more recently I have given my site a name: ez0ne.com
I realized that I was losing a heck of alot of traffic with this name because many, (probably most) people were confusing it with ezone.com
So on top of all the changes that I made, I had to completely redesign the site, yet again with the name newezone.com, but I am still receiving traffic from ez0ne.com because both domain names are pointing at the same server.
I originally had a site that was full of SubPortal content, and none of my own. I ditched them. I wont bother going into why, but lets just say that SubPortal is not for me.
That caused another redesign. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I think my ambition to build a site is finally becoming a reality, and not just a heap of jumbled HTML pages that keep getting changes, altered, deleted and renamed.
Now, I have created my newest template, and I sure do hope there is no reason for me to have to change it, AGAIN! I just want to get the show on the road!
Previous reasons for redesigns were, non browser safe colors, non NS compatible, CSS not NS compatible, dropped SubPortal, which 'was' my site actually lol, no image preloaders, poor template structure, causing the site to be difficult to edit, and many more things.
Some other reasons that I have started redesigns are newly found information that I hadn't previously known. When I found out about SSI, I slapped my forehead in the realization that what I had been doing was a complete waste of time. the same thing happened with CSS, and cgi stuff...
Every time I got 90% to completing another template, I learned something that made ne say DOH! I found an easier way, and had to start again! this was all caused because when I started building the site, I had never built a page before. I didn't even know what CGI, or SSI, or CSS is. And I STILL don't know anything about flash, (mainly because my computer is an old 150MHZ, and I have outgrown it, and I have to get a new one). My computer was fine for what I was using it for 12 months ago, and that was just chat, and the game Civilization by Sid Meier. I still play from time to time, but I am waiting for Civ III *hehe* Where was I? Oh yeah...
Basically, I have never built a site before, except a plain HTML homepage which I am embarrassed to show anyone, so I have been learning as I have been going. My advice to people starting out is... LEARN something and READ about stuff BEFORE you start writing a site, or you will find that you will be starting over 500 times, every time you learn something new.
Oh, yeah, and I was going to say before, when I was mentioning the stuff I don't know.. I don't know about PHP yet either. I am kind of afraid that it will be another one of those things that will make me slap my forehead and say DOH! That's an easier way! and I'll have to start OVER again! I don't want to, so I am going to get this site completed before I even LOOK at anything that has the the letters PHP in the heading.
Anyway, the reason for this post, is to find out from people what they think of my site so far. Please look at the code. Please let me know if you know a better way of doing things, and look at the way I have set things out. you really only have to look at one page, because they are all pretty much the same. it just seems to be a rather large bother to edit every single page. I do have the knowledge of CSS, and I am actually very good with it, and I made a 90% completed site with it. Everything was editable from one text document. Tables, borders, text, backgrounds, headings, you name it, I had it in there, but that was until I realized that NS doesn't support 95% of it, and I was nearly going to break my keyboard over my own head! I didn't want to lose the template, so I searched and searched and searched, for a compromise with NS, but there isn't one. I absolutely CAN NOT Stand NS, I hate it with ALL that I am! Even from the bottom of my HEART!
*ahem* twitch...anyway, the template that I have made now, isn't very editable. It has very little CSS, but it DOES work in NS. NS doesn't support table border colors, and I wanted table border colors, so I just made up a pretty looking background in Paintshop, and cut it into a billion TINY itsy bitsy pieces. Then I made a template with just tables, an a squished, and squashed all the little itsy bitsy gifs that I cut up into the tables. It was quite difficult with NS, because if there is nothing in a table in NS, it wont show the background, so I had to make some gifs as backgrounds, and some as images inserted into the tables. For the tables that had no text or content in there. These are ALL the extremes I have gone through to get around NS's incompatibilities with the knowledge that I have, and I know full well that there may be something that I didn't know, and if there is... I will most definitely have to but a new keyboard, so please don't let me know right now.
I have posted 2 billion posts all through the net, on just about every webmaster forum that I could find, asking questions, and reading other peoples questions etc, and I would never have got this far if it wasn't for al the people that suggested things, and helped me out along the way. I always appreciate comments, and I sure do hope I get some comments from this post, which will be pasted into all the forums that I frequent, and is prolly the longest post that I have made LOL
Anyway. I have made this template. It is NS compatible, even the marquee at the top is something that I had to go and find, because NS doesn't support the <marquee></marquee> tag either. I am beginning to wonder if NS will ever support anything! Please let me know what you think.
I DO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE 14 SECTIONS ON THE SITE AND ONLY THREE ARE UP! So, please don't come here and say that I need more content, or something painfully obvious, because I will most likely jump down your throat, and there will be a 600 post flame war.
Please just sort through what is done. The reason that I am asking for peoples comments now, and not when it is complete, is that there would be no point asking for comments if it was complete. I need to know now, before it's too late. I would especially like to hear from very experienced web masters, that can see quite plainly that I am doing something, or certain things the hard way, and you can see that it's obvious that I don't know.

hehe... That IS a long post, Mrlen.
Learning is a life long process. Recently I have been studying PHP and JSP, I have yet to look at XML and other cool technologies.
And I already told you your site is looking better and better.
