SITE REVIEW: www.polabear.tk

na i dont have it

then dink on somebody's computer who does have it.

you're going to need something easy to start out on. it's like training wheels on a bicycle. Either that or you can learn to swim the other way: jump in the deep end. Good luck whichever way happens.

OMG that page owns nothing too special, no fancy graphics, and a ton of pop ups! Get a book on HTML and Flash and in no time you'll have that page up and running full speed! As a personal rating of the site is a 10/10
Adios
SycomCOmp

i wouldn't say that...

I use
.gif's for area's with block colour
.jpg for any complex images (like backgrounds, and my site)
.png....well for nothing...the file size is far too big

I second nucleo. I have yet to find a need to use png over gif.

ok this might sound really dumb but what is mysql and postgresql.


i thought that mysql was a data base ???

They are two types of databases.

PostgreSQL is big in Japan. mySQL is popular everywhere else. *sarcasm*

In terms of getting the job done, they'll both work out fine. Learn whichever one you want. I personally prefer mySQL.

ok where can i learn mySQL ???

Do a search on yahoo/google or just go to http://www.mysql.com. Come on! It's not that hard to find your own answers!

Anyway, you're going to need to learn SQL, not mySQL. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the language you interact with the database with. mySQL is just a type of database. Both postgresql and mysql use sql. Notice the SQL part of both of their spellings?

yea ok i'll go and have a look at that now

jukilaki, man i feel for you. so much advice and everyone seems to be an expert everyone is telling you what to do based on their own thoughts of what you should do.

what is it you really want to do? build websites?
this is a very broad area so you should try start with one particular area, which ever area you should always start with html and css, then if you wanna go more techy you can get into javascript, php, coldfusion, databasing etc etc all the stuff that requires coding. otherwise if your more interested in the design side of it you should still learn html and css but also learn the fundamentals of design. this is more focusing on the fontend (interface). you cant cover all aspects of building websites straight up, pick an area you enjoy doing then branch out from there.

there is alot to learn so just start small and dont bite off more than you can chew

regarding the site, it looks good for someone with your experience, keep it up you obviously have some good ideas for ythe future.

you are young and you have plenty of time, business can get really ugly if you dont do it right. like you said just do freebies and stuff for people you know and friends - always good experience.

anyways hope that helps

thx heaps for that advise
i want to get into codeing more than the design i have a good grasp on html and css i have looked into php a bit and i want to learn SQL so that i can make data bases and stuf

the thing i really want to be able to do is acturly have my own forums running

i'm going to get some phpb forums but everturly create my own script for the forums

Is there anywere that i would be able to download a program that would help me with databases ???

If you want to work with mySQL, there's a program called SQLyog that works quite well. Do a search on yahoo on where to find it, but I think it might be http://www.sqlyog.com . They have a 30 day trial period before you actually have to buy the software.

Many web hosts have something installed called phpmyadmin which allows you to do just about anything with a mySQL database. This is extremely useful and is a good thing to know. Ask your web host to install it if they don't have it up in your control panel yet. If you don't have access to a database on your web host, you might want to switch to a different company.

We're all here to help you, so let us know if you need help anytime.

ok i'll hav a look at those things i havent got paid hosting yet cuz i havent got a paid domain , dose anyone know where i can get cheap domail names prefeably .com.au or plain .com

Hi,

Well, everything was said here...

Some tips... Don't use scroll text on you site... It removes all the personality of the work, because it is something that everybody can do. Try to be original. Before doing the site, make a sketch in paper and use your creativity to create something different. It doesn't have to be complex. With a black brackground and white letters you can made something original. Place images in grizzly tonalities, melting them with the black of the background and use small letters. Try the font Verdana with the size 2. In the Polar Bear logo use images in the composition. Give more life to you work.

Regards.
