What do You think of my hub site?

Xallow · 2006-07-13, 03:35 PM

Hi guys, I just made a hub site for my free sites and such, what do you think?

http://www.pornlinkworld.com

thanks for your oppinions

alessandro · 2006-07-13, 05:07 PM

Looks nice and clean to me but I fond that font a bit hard to read and eye-disturbing.

Xallow · 2006-07-13, 05:22 PM

I have been thinking about that, I just don't want the same old Arial Times and Verdana that everybody uses, am looking for something new... any suggestions?

walrus · 2006-07-13, 05:37 PM

Use it sparingly....use it for you title and tag line...even your enter link just about anywhere except where you actually want people to read. It's even fine on your buttons and headers but the text under should be something easily readable.

In other words use it as decoration not as the main text on the page, but wtf do I know, Im just a dumbass blogger

alessandro · 2006-07-13, 06:13 PM

Trebuchet MS isn't used by many and I like it a lot... you should try it and see how it looks like.

WarBot · 2006-07-13, 08:04 PM

I like that category menu on the left. When you mouse over the cats they look like they sink a little bit

pretty cool effect.

Xallow · 2006-07-14, 07:35 AM

I tried out Trebuchet MS and it looked good, but eventually I decided on Rockwell, very nice font imo have another look: www.pornlinkworld.com

Thanks, I am pretty happy about that too

Just remember that people will only see your special font if they happen to have that font installed on their computer. Neither Rockwell or Papyrus are standard fonts, so unless someone downloaded and installed them (or installed something that includes them), they'll be seeing your site differently than you may want. In this case, most people will not see it as you see it.

At the very least, you may want to increase the number of font family choices in your stylesheet instead of just listing Rockwell, and be sure to include "serif;" as the last choice so the surfers who don't have any of your choices will at least not wind up with a sans-serif font substituted.

WarBot · 2006-07-14, 10:02 AM

Yeah, I dont have that font installed (never heard of it actually) and it just shows the default font for my browser. Which isnt really that nice looking lol. I usually dont use anything thats not default installed on my computer. Arial, times new roman, comic sans ms, trebuchet ms, courier new, etc... I dont know what they all are but Im sure you can find that info easy enough at yahoo. On the other side, there IS a way to install the font in the temporary internet folder so that it displays correctly (or at least there used to be). I dont know how to do this but you can probably find that on yahoo too. I think it has to do with css but I cant remember. Never done it just read it somewhere long ago.

Xallow · 2006-07-14, 10:10 PM

Ok, I fixed the font thing... I hope, Rockwell as number 1 font, Trebuchet MS as second and 3rd is Verdana

I am wondering how the crap to submit my hub to linklists though, as I dont really want any recips on my entry page, I do have a LL category though, is it possible to submit it as something or should I just totally forget about submitting it to LL's?

not gonna post the link again, it is already in this thread twice

Simon · 2006-07-15, 08:57 AM

Rockwell is a (geometric slab) serif design,
Trebuchet MS is a sans-serif typeface,
Verdana is a sans-serif typeface.

From a design standpoint, you really want to pick either serif or sans-serif for your font-families. For serif fonts, you'd be safe with Georgia and Times New Roman. Also, as I mentioned before, you want to stick either "serif" or "sans-serif" at the end of all font-family choices in your stylesheet. You have that in one place but not in the others.

Remember, when you use a font that has more than one word, enclose the name in quotes, like this example:

font-family: Rockwell, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;

Note that the comma goes outside the quotes in this usage.

My unprofessional opinion is that it is too simple. Not alot to catch my eye and keep me looking around

Too much is obviously too much, but there is such a thing as too little. If I were looking for porn, I would shy away from your site pretty quick because it's too hard to get to the porn. I have to read a bunch of stuff to see more than one picture.

My opinion is worth what you paid for it, but I just think it would work better as a website for a site builder than a site user. Maybe even just a banner for the sites under their listing would be enough.

Good luck!

ronnie · 2006-07-16, 11:50 PM

It's going to be tough to get link trades with a new site. Very tough if your wanting to put them on a links page. So many people dont want recips on their entry page, but you gotta give to get..

The other option is to feed it with your own traffic like off free sites.

I agree, it is quite simple and pretty blah, course it is probably a work in progress..
