Please critique my website http://www.SurroundedByAngels.com

Also, on the links page there is a link/script to Ebay auctions with the
word angel in it . The box is showing up too far to the left . How can I put
it where I want it ?
Also, at the bottom of the web page window, there is scrolling text . How do
I slow down the speed ?

replace the opening div tag just before the ebay script
from this: <div align="center">

to: <div style="margin-left:160px;">

the 160px should clear the left column.

My suggestions:

- Left-align the text. Centred text is hard to read because the eyes have to
search for the beginning of the line each time. I wouldn't centre text
except for very short blurbs.

- Move the quote at the top to a column at the right, or have it in a
smaller font where it is but making it clear that it's a quote and not the
main text. (Or is it part of the main text?)

- Change "a" to "an" in "We are a group of people who want to be a Angel to
others."

- Make the purpose of your site clearer by expanding on the above and making
it more prominent. You go straight from that sentence to something about
"assignments." Do you need to join a group before doing an assignment? Is
this site for some sort of online class? Is it tied to the military? It
isn't clear.

Stop the popups and I may look again.

Somewhere in your source (to the top, just under <head>) you have some
parameters set for the javascript that runs the scroller:

DS_Speed=0;

Increase the value. Try DS_Speed=1; or higher.

Or take away that line and change

setTimeout("DS_StatusBarScroll()",DS_Speed);

to something like:

setTimeout("DS_StatusBarScroll()",2);

That's manual precompiling, not that it will make much difference, it gives
a smaller source and since you'r not dynamically changing the speed anyway,
why waist the resources by making the processor look up a pointer adress
for a static number it could have got statically? Waist of memory and
processor resources (if the compiler doesn't optimise it out).
don't worry if you don't understand all that Smile

No I haven't.

I dont want to turn them off, because there are some popups that I actually
require. If there you know of a way to configure popups as such....

<popups>
<disallow>*</disallow>
<allow>mydomain.com,myfriendsdomain.com</allow>
</popups>

.... now wouldnt that be good?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Do you mean site-specific popup handling at the browser?

I use popup stopper from panicware. Leaning on Ctrl allows popups.
