[QUOTE=wingless;37721724]I'm curious what the rest of the TAFE Web stuff is like in places that aren't shit. Any idea?[/QUOTE]

Cert IV in IT (Websites) is the equivalent of what your taught in high school (grade 9/10ish level), both in terms of the 'technical' and business sides of it.
A Diploma in IT (Websites) gets a little into more server side, particularly PHP iirc, I never did this though.

I honestly wouldn't bother trying with Certificate courses in IT, Fairly bad experience from the 3 years I had.

I suggested a guy to remake is site in html5 and he didn't know it so i gave him [url=http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/04/designing-a-html-5-layout-from-scratch/]http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/04/designing-a-html-5-layout-from-scratch/[/url] and [url=http://html5doctor.com/]http://html5doctor.com/[/url].

What do you think? Also his site [url=http://www.bitaites.org/]http://www.bitaites.org/[/url]

Already doing IT Cert 4, It's alright, just web is a useless class.

Could I just get some feedback please. I lied on my CV and said I had a website for a portfolio but I didn't even know HTML or CSS or web design or anything but I started to read those Head First books and they helped a good bit.
Just looking for any opinions on the look of my site.
Keep in mind this is my very first site ever haha.

For a first-ever site I think it's pretty good! It's a lot better than my first attempts.

I would bump up the line height on the main text to maybe 1.3-1.5em; it's really bunched up right now and hard to read. I'm not really liking the blurry shadow effect on those little orange things at the top and bottom of the blue content block.

[Party Boy]

Thanks a lot man, I'm actually quite pleased with it.
And thanks for the suggestion, I changed the line spacing to 1.1, I forgot you could use em, I was using px.
Anything above 1.1 looks a bit too spaced out in terms of the box.
And your right about the orange things, only trouble is its all an imagem the logo and the orange things and blue boxes are all an image. I'm not the best at photoshop so I ran into some trouble when exporting the images separately so I decided to use one large image. I'm going to try fix the orange things and I'll post it up later.

Any other feedback?

[editline]20th September 2012[/editline]

Here is an updated version of it, removed the drop shadow on the little orange decorations, and I added in little dots to blend it with the background a bit better. Also added some sweet holes in the orange decorations to give it more "pizzazz". Also line spacing is improved

What do you guys reckon now?

the [lack of] contrast is really obnoxious

[antid2]

[QUOTE=Over-Run;37736212]Could you elaborate please?[/QUOTE]

the white text on the blue container, just really hurts my eyes, there is no contrast, not even just the text, just white period, the dotted border around it aswell

[Party Boy]

Yeah I know what you mean I noticed the eye strain too. What do you suggest I do about it? Thanks for feed back

[HighdefGE]

I've got a site as well. This is my first attempt, and it's definitely not good as any other's being posted around here, but I was hoping you guys could give me a few tips and such. And thanks to terabyte for helping me a bit with CSS.

Bottom one for sure. Round corners make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.

[slater]

Definitely the latter, just get the icons sorted and give us a new screencap.

Anyone have any ideas on icons that'll fit the design nicely? sort of having some problems selecting some.

[Jelly_]

You've gotten a bit better at blurring shit out. Too bad you can still read it.

To be honest I'm just doing it to taunt the facepunchers, I honestly don't give a shit if they know where I go to school. Probably because I don't actually attend the school in person.

Custom make them yourself, keep them monochrome and go for a blue that matches the navbar

Just something small I'm working on (because PHP Nuke is so fucking old)..

Is there a "max" size when MySQL tables usually get really slow, or doesn't it matter?[/QUOTE]

It all depends on the data being stored and the queries being run. With proper indexing and query structure you can get incredibly massive without issues.

Without indexing you'll usually see some speed issues start popping up around 10-25k. Add indexes and you're usually good until you get into 10 million+ rows. After that point it's all about making super efficient queries. I have had joins that run on 2 50 million row tables in under 50ms after lots and lots of optimization.

Currently setting up a mysql data store that will hold about 2TB of data in around 500 million rows. This will be interesting.

[antiChrist]

Few tweaks and made it wider.

So I finally finished up (a very) rough version of my website. It's just so any employers who check the link on the cv I gave them see that I actually have a site. But I quite enjoyed designing it and developing it so I think I am going to keep at it.
Just please give me feedback. I know there is no home button and the text is a bit hard on the eyes, and my portfolio lacks any real portfolio.
My main problem was with the actual coding. If you guys saw my code you would probably box my head in. I think then XHTML is a lot better than the CSS because I havn't really gotton used to margins and padding and grouping in css but hey at least I'm learning.

Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

After just trying it in Firefox it looks like the the browser isn't downloading the font I want and the text is not inline as it should be. It works in Chrome but not Firefox. How can I fix this? I'm guessing I have to add a separate css command for firefox?

plus you're a liar considering you said you didn't even know html or css (which is somewhat obvious)

so why put it on your site?

why even bother putting up your "portfolio"?
