PokéTraders

[Ariolander]

Well what do you guys think? I have been trying to get feedback from the Pokemon community.

Idea was simple. Create a site to more easily facilitate the trading of Pokemon. Usually this is done automatically via GTS but it has it's issues. With the myriads of hacked Pokemon and Nintendo doing seemingly nothing about it. Or in case you wanted a shiny Pokemon you can't really select Shiny as one of the search peramiters.

Traditionally this was done via misc trading threads of various forums but being banned on GameFAQs thanks to their retarded Karma system and inspired by Craigslist I hacked what was originally dating site software to work with Pokemon.

Here is what I got:
www.PokeTraders.com

What do you think? Any input advice comments etc.?

Clean layout, fresh idea. Push it further and this could go far.
Also consider improving your HTML. It would be a great big step in the right direction.
A nice tip for any webmaster is to read through the tutorial at HTML Dog (http://www.htmldog.com/). It takes about 2 hours, but when you're done, you're skills as a webmaster have vastly improved.

Oh yea HTML Dog I have that on my favorites but haven't read too much. Anything in particular that needed improving HTML wise though?

Most of it isn't actually in HTML but rather PHP so is a hard enviroment to work in since I was unable to use Dreamweaver or my browser to see my changes as I made them. #1 on my list though is cleaning up my CSS. Am linking to 2 CSS stylesheets and then having code in the headers on top of it. Some redundant and some conflicting 0.o;; I worked out most of the layour issues right now thanks to FireBug.

FireBug = Greatest browser plugin ever.

Read it all. Trust me, it'll pay of more than you know.

P.S. I use this. I think it's better: http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
