Umm...It's just fine.  I like the "Probably the best Futurama site ever made"

[Leela] Love your optimism [/Leela]

[Reply #2 on:]

Over-use of fonts, underline, bold, italics etc.

[Reply #3 on:]

Nice looking site, nice info so far, keep it up and build it up.

But fix up that stuff near the bottom of the page with the different fonts.

[Reply #4 on:]

yeah, i was fixin it yesterday night but my pc froze

[Reply #5 on:]

The background makes it very difficult for me to make out quite a bit of the text.  [Walter_Brennan]'Course my eyes ain't as good as they wuz 30 years ago, dagnab it![/Walter_Brennan]

Never never never have "This Site Under Construction" signs. They're tacky and annoying.

[Reply #11 on:]

i like your page keep going!

[Reply #12 on:]

just finished bender's pics, gonna start Fry tomorrow and thanx 4 the support

[Reply #13 on:]

Looks good so far, keep it going.

But you should use solid fields to write your text on, the background makes it very tiresome to read.

Ever thought about a webspace without 76987432 Popups? :-D

[Reply #19 on:]

(sounds alarm) OH MY GOD! HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT! (arrests Link)|Sorry. Anyways, good site. But the backround almost made me upchuck my Churro.

[Reply #20 on:]

Under Construction. Great, it's not bad at the minute let us know when it's done.

[Reply #21 on:]

i couldnt update it for a long time now........broke my wrist...

[Reply #22 on:]

Tiled backgrounds suck. Stick with a plain colour background (like PEEL's love-er-ly blue) or even just white. ANYTHING but a crappy tiled background.

[Reply #23 on:]

I used to have a normal BG, and 200 visitors a day. Then I switched to tiled. I had 200 visitors leaving.

[Reply #24 on:]

It might be a good site for all I know, but the background plus the overuse of different fonts plus the over use of ALLCAPS meant I was sick and never got past the first page.
Need to study some web usability guidelines.

Don't take this as offencive, just some (perhaps a bit severe) constructive critisism

[Reply #25 on:]

ok, but what should i change the background to?

[Reply #26 on:]

Look at other websites that have designs that you like and take inspiration. Consider PEEL: Nice mid blue with white/grey behind text.

As a general rule use a pale colour for background and try and keep the base text black.

Just use a couple of different styles for headings (NB best to use CSS for styles, but if you don't know how then don't worry)

Edit: Also consider CGEF, that has a black background, but white for aread of body text. Also note how the sections are all done in a uniform style to give an identity to the site.

Edit2: You could check out Jakob Nielsen's website at  http://www.useit.com . I haven't bin there myself but I have read some of his books and they are excelent.

Edit3: Ok, maybe I'm going a bit over the top for a small fan site, but I'm computer scientist so what do you expect...
