Graphs without labels don't really make any sense at all.
Hey. I don't post here often (I say this every time too), but could someone look over a website I quickly snapped together (I mean no longer than 20 minutes), and give me hints as to where to expand on? My aim is simplicity, which is why it's been so hard, because I have no idea what to add to give it that special something, without taking away what it already has.

Here's a first problem i see. Content. What is this going towards?
anyways, get rid of padding and make margin a bit(?) smaller. Reason is because you don't even have top/bottom padding on those pictures.
I don't know where you're trying to go for, but it looks fine atm. Maybe you can even add a footer to make it look nice and spacey. (because your header is big)
(?) The spacing looks huge
[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;39903932]Graphs without labels don't really make any sense at all.[/QUOTE]
where would I put the labels? :v
Below the bars? To the side of them as well? Typical x/y graph correlation.
Some graphs are self-explanatory, like my day graph plotter for Timelog:

Even my day graph can be more explicit by me putting hour markers, but the point is clear already.
What we don't gather from your graph is the relevance of the bar lengths; is it the magnitude of trades made for a given item, the demand for them? What is the relevance of them being graphed?

[editline]13th March 2013[/editline]
something like that?
Now you're making progress. But think about the relevance of this being a graph in a user interface rather than just being a standalone graph.
Typically we map "X over time" as a ltr reading process, but the user reads immediate and current information as the most relevant, which diverges from what typical graphs orient around.
As a result, your graph shows the "current" value of an item all the way on the right-most side while the image and name of the item are all the way on the left.
So my eyes are moving left to right over the entire distance of the container element per item.
To make the experience more visually pleasing, you could map the "X over time," or value over time in this case, in reverse chronology. Make the current value of the item as close to the descriptors as possible.

the current value is closest to the descriptors V:v:V
might want to represent that with ← Time then, which is chronologically rtl
since google just shut down reader so I'm going to make my own reader in php
wooo
I don't know any php so this should be fun

unless there's something better to write in in, in which case please tell me because I'm pretty clueless when it comes to web programming

PHP is pretty solid for that.
As a forewarning you will want to use cURL to download things instead of file_get_contents, it's a common beginner's mistake.
My favourite cUrl function:
[code]
function get_data( $url )
{
try
{
$timeout = 5;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout );
$data = curl_exec( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );
return $data;
}
catch ( Exception $e )
{
return 'Sorry.';
}
}
//URL is the address of the page you want to download.
//example: $url = "http://facepunch.com";
//$FPHomepg = get_data( $url );
//var_dump ( $FPHomepg );
[/code]
This section is great to get answers. Just post on the question thread!

Yo, webdev, what's the simplest user management library out there? Something that babies me like $errorCode = Userlib::CreateUser( username, passwordHash ); and provides junk like Userlib::getSecurityKey() and all that.
[editline]14th March 2013[/editline]
More people are wanting to use Timelog, and I'd like to implement a user system fast. I've got some other stuff to worry about and don't have much time to write my own user library. I took a look at CodeIgniter, but couldn't find anything stupidly simple.

This is my first real website since I've started learning HTML, CSS and a little javascript over 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if I'm off to a good start on the design or if I should throw it out.

The design? What design?
It's a pretty good start for 2 weeks imo
I'm honestly not very good at this and if someone could take a look at my messy code and tell me where I could improve I would really appreciate it.

Get some gradients to separate the white and grey more, I think the buttons are very web 1.0 so I'd change them too.

No divide by zero error, screen does not clear when you get "infinity" and start typing in things resulting in loss of functionality unless you press clear. Should auto-clear if you press a button after getting "infinity".

What about auto-clear if after getting a result you pressed a number?
