Gamecubecheats.info review

Hi all,

Well, about 2 weeks ago I put my site, www.gamecubecheats.info up and about 1 week ago I started promoting it. Somehow, I have already been listed on google, yahoo, and some other smaller search engines , so I won't complain about that. I was hoping to get your opinions on my site, basically just critique it. It has gotten some pretty good reviews over at sitepoint.com but I would never feel complete unless I could get the devshed community to take a look.

I am still working on the content, so there aren't a TON of cheats yet, but its getting there.

Let me know your thoughts,

Thanks
Bryan

looking okay to me (just another php nuke 3 columns design, but it's fine :-) )
minor comments:
when you click on a link (e.g: review) have it highlighted in the left-end navigation menu. would make it more obvious where you are
also, fonts are sometimes "times new roman" instead of arial. Plus, be consistant on font sizes: navigation bar are very small, text is bigger. How about having the same font size for both? only make minor information less visible. A menuu is not minor information mate

hope this helps.

Hi, I didn't quite follow your critique. All menu items, whether its on the left side or the right all use the same font.

The menu on the left is dynamic, so its hard to make it so that its purple when on the exact page.

I think you were saying that my menu navigation needs to be larger, is that correct?

I am going to be including a stylesheet switcher which will allow up to 3 different font size changes.

Thanks
Bryan

>> All menu items, whether its on the left side or the right all use the same font
yes, but on page "review", the text inside the page "This is only a list of the games that contain reviews" is in times new roman
>>I think you were saying that my menu navigation needs to be larger, is that correct?
right

>>The menu on the left is dynamic, so its hard to make it so that its purple when on the exact page.
if your menu is a "php include ", it would be easy to make it. the fact that a site is dynamic usually eases the design mate

its actually coldfusion, but I do it all through a content management system I put together. I guess with some fiddling around, I can make it work.

Thanks

a simple way to do it is to have two CSS classes "navlink" and "navlink_chosen".
When a link is clicked, it sends a variable to the menu page, which, according to that variable, switches the menu item's containing cell to the "chosen" state.
In php, a switch case structure would be the best. i don't know coldfusion.

Hi Pixeline,

I fixed the times new roman stuff, everything on the site uses Arial now.

I understand about creating classes for the particular link, let me tell you how I have done this.

I have my online form that I can use to add menu items, delete them or alter them. There is a section entitled where I simply place the link of the item in the form, like

gamecube-contact.cfm and the class is predefined in my menu.cfm file which I include into my documents.

It would take some doing to get the class to work appropriately with each indiivdual link. Its a good suggestion though.

anybody else?
