A thread just for users websites???

[arcticfox]

After all the recent "rate my website" threads that get opened then closed, wouldnt it be an idea to have all these posts in one section that people could use JUST to post their website and ask advice etc?

Or, one thread that only a Mod could post/amend which would list any users sites (after being checked by the mods obviously) so that anyone interested would be able to use it?

People like me can learn from them. I'm not a brain surgeon when it comes to making websites but then again I'm not a feckin eedjit either All this talk of coding and masking etc etc just baffles me. I just did a basic but effective site using hints and tips from others.

I think that if people want advice they should remove ref links from their sites, once they are happy with their site they should remove the URL from their post and have the ref links on their site again. Posting sites with ref links on is just like posting ref links here with an extra step in between.

I've just invested in a 'Dummies' book on Web Design/Building (off eBay) simply because the technical & mechanics of it all can seem a bit overwhelming but tips & advice from more experienced users are always welcome simply because there are some things that you simply won't find in any book...

Well then as I said, when making your site just do not add the links until it goes live, and I would not rate or recommend the "dummies" books at all.

I thought you could have an URL to your web site with your ref links on so long as you didn't post your ref link directly on exceem & so long as there was a link directly back to exceem - it actually doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.
If you click a link to someone's web site when you are on exceem, I would kinda expect to find their own ref links on their own site (even if they are asking for advice).
For instance, if a query is directly related to links (do they work?) then it'll be necessary to leave them in place (I would imagine) .

^ yeah you can do that BUT you can't make a thread asking to rate your website, you can put it in your sig. That's all.
Oh yeah, your website has to have a link back to eXceem on it.

....they're not that bad...
If you've absolutely no idea about the subject then they actually give you an very basic idea about whatever it is you're trying to do.
They're for absolute novices, hence the title '...for Dummies'.

I learnt to build PCs from scratch from reading a few of them.

...Sorry, that's what I meant...
but I agree with Web site 'Workshop' Thread idea rather than the 'sneakily promote my web site here' Thread.

web sites are easy to do now a days, no HTML code editing and stuff, just mainley move and point, just fill in the blank spaces,
