It has taken a very long time. The result (or return) is not at all satisfying. In fact I just uploaded the new layout (and shortened the written content) because although hits are increasing, business is not. Of course there should be something wrong somewhere. So I totally changed the look and feel. I'll observe the result. I'll also be throwing up the site for hard-critiques, but the problem is, no two views tally. Anyway, soon I'll have to do something (better than doing nothing). But if the traffic is increasing, I'll try to increase it more. > In regards to my scripts, I'll pass.

I understand that. But I'm not talking about those silly scripts. Sometimes we underestimate the general requirements of surfers. People even need elementary scripts like emailing forms, autoresponding after the form is submitted, recommending pages, conducting surveys etc. Even small shopping cart and content management applications. They are definitely not "it looks cool" scripts. > IMHO, the resources for online scripts and "make your site look like the > pros" is one of the major culprits for the bloated, clunky mess that we > prefix WWW to - libraries full of code to work on every browser since the > Ice Age just so Johnny Newbie can add a multi-tree navigation menu to his > site about his pet cat doesn't lend itself to streamlined HTML. > > A resource on *how* to make your site look like the pros, why and when to > implement advanced navigation (for example) and code samples to illustrate > the theory or underlying technology I would definately contribute to... Good idea! Please contribute. Thanks.
