Thread: Revamped Website

Hi everyone,

I don't often post for feedback and things on here but I've just revamped my site and thought I'd see if anybody has suggestions and things like that.

Much appreciated, cheers.

Very nice. Very sleek.
Looks almost like a Wordpress template, I like it a lot :)

Very nice design wise, code could do with some work. Javascript should go at the bottom, use lists for navigation and try not to use <br /> tags

Thanks Chris, may I also ask why when it comes to the break tags?

I appreciate what you're saying about the lists and I think that, deep down, I knew that really... but otherwise where would they be misused? I'm not sure, but I think off the top of my head that I've only used them sparingly when I consider it all to be the same sort of block, aside from the navigation in the header and blog that you mention.

Cheers.

For some reason best known to them, Google has now advised that analytics code goes before the closing head tag.

The site is very nice, great job.

Really? When was this? This is from the help docs.

copy and paste it into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track.

As for the break tags, they're not semantic at all, also the context you're using them is to create space between elements for styling purposes which is a job for CSS, they're also quite an old way of doing things

I noticed it when I switched to the new Analytics layout. This is right above where it gives you the tracking code;

Code:

Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page that you want to track immediately before the closing </head> tag.

That help is not up-to-date.

That's fair enough, thanks.

As I say, I think I knew really I ought not to use them for the navigation but otherwise I think I've only used them where I've felt the two lines are part of the same element.

I have always agreed with this however I still use them to make an address split over multiple lines within an address tag.

How would you do this Chris?

PS sorry for hijacking the thread just wondering
