Website Review and Suggestions

**dotancohen** · 11-05-2006, 11:43 AM

I've started a simple question-answer project at http://what-is-what.com. Please browse the site and let me know what you think. Feel free to ask questions.

As I code in Ubuntu, I'd also like to know how the page displays in Microsoft and Mac operating systems, under IE and Safari. Thank you.

I like the concept, and I like the logo.

Having said that, this site needs some work. There are a few things that I'd like to see changed:

1) A default font. No Times New Roman. It looks so...Times New Romany. Verdana would probably be okay here, maybe Tahoma, possibly even Arial. Just no TNR.

2) There are too few questions. You'll see that I asked one pertaining to DDR (and one pertaining to something else involving square roots immediately before that, but I'll leave that one to you to see if you want to add it in.

)

3) As your database grows in size, you'll need some form of pagination to list all the questions with maybe a separate section for the top 25 FAQs or something like that.

Other than that, looks okay to me in IE6 on an XP64 SP2 at 1440 x 900.

What you may want to do is to try www.browsercam.com to see how it looks in the browsers you're curious about.

Looks good here. nice site you have :P

@Adam:
Thanks, I changed the fonts "Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial", with the exception of the H* fonts. I actually like those as TNR. Looks much better now, thanks. I've a few questions that I'll get to before I get to the DDR one, and I'm not sure that there is a square root of what you asked! As to the pagination of questions, I hope to get to the point of dividing them by letter, and also have a top xxx list as well. We'll see...

Thanks.

Well when you find out, get back to me, would you? That question's plaguing me.

Yeah, that looks a lot better. But this is what I was referring to as far as pagination was concerned:

http://what-is-what.com/all_questions.php

Too many questions, mah brutha.

Faboulous site. Just add the fresh data...making every query simlpe as a mouse click.

Hm, maybe you're right. In any case, the database is growing fast, so I'll get to it sooner or later.

Thanks.

great idea...needs more "what is what" Q & A.

**dotancohen** · 11-06-2006, 05:42 PM

The questions are coming in faster than I can answer them! If anybody wants to give me a hand, I'd sure appreciate it. I've a stack of questions that could use an answer. Of course, I do believe in give credit where credit is due, and you will be credited. PM me.

Thanks, all!
