The hit counter is big and bulky. I prefer to go with a stats tracking site rather then one that focuses on jus thits that way I can get a good cross section of who my visitors are. www.xtremetracking.com for example is the one I use. Your forms look nice at a glance, except they appear to be html driven unless you have a cgi form controll or something through a feedback place, html driven isnt always the best answer because if someone does not have an email client on their machine it will not work.

Not bad looking, but your Upcoming Events link rollover color is wrong.

Suggestion

Very nice but the blue background with white text can be hard on the eyes. Mayby a css layout with the option to turn it into white with black text/a less offensive color combination? I like the first page but the ones with blue background hurt my eyes=/ and I'm only 14 so I know it's not cause I'm "getting old"

EDIT: Your site doesn't "really need help". It's very well done.

[Sux0rZh@jc0rz]

your signature:

WARNING: non-exposure to the Son can cause burning!

Very subtle. If I hadn't just gone to your site I would have thought you did a typo or that it was some stupid joke=P put something else in your signature to signify that it is related to religion.

Thanks for all of your help, but where is the link that is hard on your eyes?

[PeOfEo]

Jonathan, how are you subbmitting those forms? Are they standard html? Also I would run your site through the www.w3.org html validator.

[Jonathan]

I used MS Frontpage, I was just experimenting with it, and yes, I still know how to do html :)

[PeOfEo]

Well if you are using frontpage to do your forms it is genorating standard html. That is not always the best way to go because if a user does not have an email client on their comp the forms wont work. Humm who is your host? What server side languages do they support? Maybe someone around here could whip up a nice form handler for you depending on what they support.

[Jonathan]

Globat.com

They support everything even Frontpage, all except ASP

[brendandonhue]

I haven't even checked the code, but just because he used frontpage doesn't mean its using a mailto: to send the email. FrontPage Server Extensions can process forms....
Jonathan-can you verify which method you are using to submit the forms?

[PeOfEo]

I looked at his code and it looked like java script etc genorated by a feedback service so I would think he has routed them through a feedback service. I am guessing thats what webbot is a form handling service. So frontpage must use that be default, it definatly isnt the mailto: command your right so I guess there is no need to worrie

[Sux0rZh@jc0rz]

hey which plan did u get at globat? cause you could probly get it for half price at www.ace-host.net

globat's special offer isn't even better than the STANDARD prices at www.ace-host.net .

[Jonathan]

ok

[Jonathan]

why is it so CHEAP!!!

[Paul Jr]

I was just browsing you site and I happened upon the "Upcoming Events" page. I'm not sure why, but it appears your links on the left are set to bold on the rollover, that causes the "40 Days of Purpose" to drop down to two lines, thus, moving everything below it down. It is not like that on any other page. Also, the "CPK Zone" contains a set of links that has the same problem, the only difference is that things move sideways, and not down.



Go here (http://www.crosspoint.org/events.html) and roll your mouse over the "40 Days of Purpose" link.

Go here (http://www.crosspoint.org/cpk.html) and roll your mouse over the links at the top.

[Jonathan]

Thanks, I will fix as soon as I can

[Sux0rZh@jc0rz]

Lol. its cheap cause its a new hosting service and bought TONS of resources in bulk so that they pay less, ergo: you pay less.

[Sux0rZh@jc0rz]

and dont think cause its cheap it doesnt have all the SSI's and doesnt have good support. just check the plans and see all the tons of includes it and services it gives you.

[Jonathan]

oh, so I shouldn't host with them

What do you mean all the SSI's? SSI is its own thing, serverside includes, it is not a server side language itsself but can deliver some of the functionality of a server side language. By "all the SSI's" I think you are referring to server side languages, and it does not host all server side languages. It only hosts php and a cgi bin.
