Website - Update

Post by DanteD716 » Mon Aug 26, 2013 5:31 am

Although it may seem the same from the last time I posted, it really isn't. I have been making little tweeks and fixing errors, and slowly but surely it is coming along!! Hoping to finish up some more things tonigh.. It's 5:23 am and I've been at it for a few hours, so if you see any typos please let me know! Lol :lol:

If you'd like to submit a photo, feel free to pm me, or just post a reply with the picture (include who to credit the picture to please)

If you have an aviary and would like it to be displayed under my housing section, feel free to post pictures of it below, and remember I need the dimensions, and list of inhabitants.

All feedback is greatly appreciated! So please tell me you opinions.. Thanks guys!!

Pictures that I need at the moment:

silverbill (both indian and african)
strawberry finches
star finch
cordon blue (all three species)
would also like a few more gouldian pictures
(if the species you wish to submit a picture of is not listed, feel free to post it anyways, I can find a spot for any new pictures)

Thanks again guys, its really a work in progress, and a never ending project! :D

Awesome job, Dante =D> ...It looks amazing! I know that there is a bird show in Brooklyn, NY at the end of September...but I don't have any info on it. If you talk to Tiffany (nixity) or Lisa, they can probably give you more info and you can add it to your site. Its a pretty big one :) . Btw...I am happy that you chose Kiwi for your GC. I cant take all the credit though, as someone suggested it to Deborah when she was looking for names for Lil Bit.

It may just be me but I have a hard time reading white font, especially the smaller it gets.
Your site is coming along nicely :)

On the bottom of every page it says:
"Comments

Will we in the future be able to add comments?

Sorry, I didn't realize that some people would have trouble reading it. But I understand completely, thanks Debbie! I will look into the color scheme, maybe make it darker, or possibly make the font larger?

I have been wondering the same thing really.. I noticed it while editing stuff around the site.. Thought maybe it was for me to make little reminders on what needs to be done? But then realized any viewer can see it. So Im trying to figure out how to let the public comment. I would love to have it open for people to leave opinions, or ask questions

I'll try fixing the few things mentioned tommorow (well later technically) It's 6:00 am, and again, I have stayed up all night! :oops: I honestly forget track of time! Well, if I got to sleep now, I'll be waking up around 3 pm :lol:
