My new XBox site - Feedback please.

Blackshear · 08-25-2005, 09:08 PM

I just got my site up and running tonight and I would love to get any opinions from you all here. The URL is www.xboxoutpost.com, it should forward to www.xboxoutpost.com/wp domain forwarding through my host hasn't been implemented yet but will be.

Your opinions please .

The header looks good, but would look better if the image on the right was taken out of it. Other than that it looks great!

Fowl · 08-26-2005, 12:01 AM

Blackshear · 08-26-2005, 09:36 AM

I woke up today and I got that error also... it was fine last night

, I don't know what the deal is... been waiting for tech support to get back with me for 4 hours... it won't even let me login to my FTP.... *sigh* wonder what the problem is.

Goes to a godaddy placeholder site at the minute

Blackshear · 08-26-2005, 01:04 PM

Well I finally got a response from tech support (7 hours later...), here is that they had to say:

"Thank you for contacting customer support. There was a problem with your domain not resolving to the correct IP address. I have fixed this error. Your domain name is now pointing to its hosting account. These chagnes can sometimes take up to 48 hours to take effect."

WTF is that all about?? I hope all my files are still intact... and I sure as help hope it doesn't take 48 hours to be running again.

Update:

Alright, they finally fixed it, now tell me what you think:

www.xboxoutpost.com/wp (I'm going to move it to the root soon)

rustypaulin · 08-26-2005, 02:16 PM

it looks good i like the colour scheme used

def1 · 08-26-2005, 05:28 PM

Ok the header needs way more work and the image on the right looks like it doesnt belong.

the rest of the layout is good but the header needs work.

rufryder · 08-26-2005, 05:46 PM

Nice site. I like the colors and font. Just my 2 cents.. IMHO, took me a while to notice the links under "Content" . Cool site.

Blackshear · 08-26-2005, 07:28 PM

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, I've added a new category, took out the jacked up elite from halo2 off my header, and added a new far left and right side background... was it for better or worse?

def1 · 08-26-2005, 09:00 PM

ok the header does look better now but still needs some touching up. the rest of the site is quality tho

Damo-Online · 08-28-2005, 09:51 AM
