My tutorial site - review please

[tinymike]

Just thought I'd share with you guys my new Tutorial archive site at www.tutorialstuff.com that I've been working on for the last few weeks that I'm hosting here at host nine.

I Was hoping to get some feedback from fellow developers/designers or anyone else who cares to chime in.

All feedback, bad or good, is appreciated.

Thanks - Mike

It looks very nice! Perhaps, you want to change the black background to a lighter grey

I will take this into consideration. I think the biggest gripes I've had so far is on the black/blue background colors.

Were you talking about the background of the top header section or another part?

Thanks - Mike

Anyone else have some constructive criticism for my site?

tinymike,

Wow!! a lot of stuff there and a quick scan and much of it appears to be useful!! Kudo's to you.

My only suggestion might be to break your code into manageable lines as many seem to be long strings (php) and yes I know that many also need to be on one line but you can break at comments and others. Purpose is to make it more readable?? Kinda like:

$counter_query = "select startdate, counter from " . TABLE_COUNTER;
$counter = $db->Execute($counter_query);
if &#40;$counter->RecordCount&#40;&#41; <= 0&#41; &#123;
  $date_now = date&#40;'Ymd'&#41;;
  $sql = "insert into " . TABLE_COUNTER . " &#40;startdate, counter&#41; values &#40;'" . $date_now . "', '1'&#41;";
  $db->Execute&#40;$sql&#41;;
  $counter_startdate = $date_now;
  $counter_now = 1;
&#125; else &#123;
  $counter_startdate = $counter->fields&#91;'startdate'&#93;;
  $counter_now = &#40;$counter->fields&#91;'counter'&#93; + 1&#41;;
  $sql = "update " . TABLE_COUNTER . " set counter = '" . $counter_now . "'";
  $db->Execute&#40;$sql&#41;;
&#125;

But this is a minor point and I like your site immensley and hope that you enjoy a load of traffic and a bright future - remember, many other sites had to start some where also.

I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you talking about the html you see when you view the source code or the actual PHP code that I have written?

tinymike,

I was refering to the code snippetts that I guess are html that you have made available. To me they appeared in a code box as normally lons strings albeit I mostly looked at the php offerings.

Like I said, this is a minor point as it is the content that you offer that makes this site and I just thought that making it more readable might assist your visitors.

Nice Site!!
