Hello everyone, It's been 5 years since I've been here, haha.

I'd like to introduce everyone to my website http://www.DansTutorials.com

Created: 3/07/10

Mostly it's on tutorials on how to do this and that.

If you have already taken a look, I have mentioned that of some content I'm gonna be adding etc. I plan to add a Movie page to watch movies (embed-ed) and a TV show page to watch tv shows (embed-ed).

My site was and still is heavily under development and I would highly appreciate some feedback!~

I plan on adding tuts on how to get hosting for .01 cent first month, and other random ones. I am also developing a Simpsons layout that's turning out real nice, it's like the one I have now, though 3 times better. (For when I make TV page)

Any suggestions of where I could upload large video files would be very welcome.

Also, I need feedback! Thanks for taking the time to read my post and visiting my website.

Are you sure? It's loading for me.



Here is a "sneak peak" on the Simpsons skin I was working on.

(70% done)



I will be making different themes for different types of TV shows. I will probably just make one theme for movies and different banner/logo for each movie.

Ahh, it works now. I like the design of it aswell, very good work there Dan. Put on some Photoshop CS4 tutorials for users to come read etc. It may attract more users since you have information they want.

Good work overall, keep it up!

This is a pretty cool website, but there are some things that should be changed.

I would not suggest using iframes. They're terrible for search engine optimization and your internal linking isn't as great. Check out this link: http://www.straightupsearch.com/archives/2...frames_a_g.html.

Also, using nucleus CMS inside of your website in an iframe is kind of unsightly. It looks like a website in a website. Two banners, two menus, etc.
The javascript pop-ups on the pages that have not yet been developed is annoying. I would rather see a page that says "Under construction" than the pop-up.

I'm definitely digging the Challenger on your banner. Too bad it's not a SRT-8!

The simpsons layout is absolutely perfect. I would maybe change the font, and size of the text below for the videos. The legality of this website is questionable.. but I'm into all that stuff. Is this why you aren't hosting on trap17?

You link to a favicon in your html, however the file it references to doesn't exist. (images/favicon64.ico)

Good job on an excellent website and I'm looking forward to seeing your improvements in the future.

About the iframes: I only have to edit one page if I wanted to add/edit/delete a link in the navigation.

Nucleus: I only wanted something like a blog to inform any types of updates.

I don't have a favicon as of yet.

I made a another topic here at trap17 about if it was possible to convert my current website into a CMS, so maybe that would fix the iframe problem?.

Thanks for your feedback.

I would suggest using a simple include function from php instead of an iframe for your navigation.
That way you can just have navigation.php and edit that file by itself to change the navigation.

You could definitely turn your entire website into a CMS. I'll check out that topic.

I completely changed my website, using Drupal as my CMS. So far it's pretty good, a lot of editing has to be done though I think it's turning out great.
