flyaway: Content/Navigation - 5/29/2002 22:35:54
Hey,
It's been a while since I've posted a site up. A while back I asked for advice on The Writing Exchange. What you're seeing here is the evolved version. I'm very satisfied with the overall design, but I'm wondering if it is easy enough for people to understand. My basic question is this: can you easily understand what teens can do at the site? I've had people contact me and tell me that they were confused, although it seemed fairly obvious to me (since I'm the one who built it, of course)...
So I'd appreciate it if some of you could spend a minute checking it out and letting me know if there's anything that you're left confused about. The address is:

Thanks a bunch! Any other comments are more than welcome ;-)
-Bobby

AcadiaGuy,
I might see how some are confused. For example, within your navigation links on the left, you have headings "Writings" and "Zines" with 3 to 4 links under each one. But each link under the heading leads to the same perspective Forum of it's heading. I'm assuming that the links read differently just to let the user know the different things they can do within the FORUM. Maybe having ONE link under the heading with a description (non-link) of things they can do might be an alternative.
Nice Site
Swooosh

I like what you have done also. However, I did just sit and stare at it for awhile too. I think if you would make your header bar text "the creative network FOR TEENS - BY TEENS" stretch across the top header, I would have understood the intention much better and immediately. The little flashing banner among all that blue space is kind of out of place. I agree with Swoosh regarding the multiple links to the same page as confusing. I kept looking for what was different. It frustrated me. I hope this helps. I like your content. But you can improve the layout like DarlingBri says. I hope I'm not too late to help. A teen site should be a little wilder too, don't you think? Just trying to help.

Hi Bobby,
I popped in quick to take a look but all I got was an error message.

Printable Version 
Looked at your site with IE 6.0, 800 X 600 and 28.8 on 56K 
. Every once in a while that error randomly comes up for a few hours. A while back I contacted the web host. They talked about moving the site to a different server but I'm not sure if they ever did.
