Why have you the idee that the most people ignored are? I think that that
not so is. The most mesages are ansered by the least one person.

Harry is right: this site contains nothing (and is unreadable).

Oookaaay...let's take the design sins one at a time:

(1) Green text on a patterned grey/hunter green background.
This is pretty poor contrast, though it may look cool at first. Can we say
"eyestrain," boys and girls?

(2) Long, unbroken text block.
This is completely unreadable, as has been noted elsewhere. I'm sure
there's a few coherent, developed thoughts in there somewhere (maybe), but
it's difficult to sort them out. Learn to use
or

.

(3) Links at the beginning of the page.
While I appreciate having an early bailout, I believe it's customary to
either put your links at the end of the page or in their own section.

(4) Non-sequitur image.
What does this MM cover have to do with anything? Sure, it's a Disney
comic, and your page is about Disney comics "as well as meny (sic) more
things", but why that cover? Is it the only one you had available? Is "The
House of Many Mysteries" an alternate title for your page? Let's get a
caption under this image, at the very least.

(5) Spelling, or lack thereof.
I know that spelling and grammar in e-text have long since gone the way of
the dodo, but please, make more of an effort. Learn some of the
capitalization rules.

Incidentally, you need to do some research. Last I heard, the comic _book_
was pioneered by E.C. Gaines, the founder of EC comics (the primary
target/victim of the Wertham-inspired Comics Code Authority). You refer to
"more action filled (sic) comics being published like BATMAN and SUPERMAN"
-- perhaps you mean Detective Comics and Action Comics?

If you'd like a good history of comics in general, I'd suggest Scott
McCloud's _Understanding Comics_ (and Eisner's earlier work, which McCloud
references several times).

Good luck with your website,
Kevin Clark

This mailing list is about Disney comics. Not about the basics of designing
a web page.
If you only have a text editor, and don't want to learn HTML, there's no use
in trying to make a web site that is appreciated by others.

Try to find a place on the Web where you can learn about web design.
And about the spelling of the English language.

Harry and Favio are right: this site contains nothing (and is unreadable).
But perhaps if we check back often...

Of course ;-)

Anyway I've gathered all the info I could get and put them on a web page,
in my site;
Who's interested, and can read Italian (sorry, no English version of the
site... yet) go to:
