First descent site I created

Hi all,

I have been bothering you guys with lots of questions, sometimes stupid ones. But that resulted in this site, an old British motorcycle club in Holland asked me to create a site for them. http://www.velocetteclub.nl is the result.
Snippets used in there are maxigallery, ditto (member pages), fdm (member pages) and the smf bridge module. I need to repair my older PC so I can hack the CSS sheet for IE6. I am not a graphic designer nor a site designer. Someone asked me to help them out with their site, and before I knew a friend of him asked me for an estimate for such a cool site "where you can change the content so easily". Here I am now with this product, and many thanks to the modx forum for all your patience. Do give me critics on this site, I need to learn,

best, Frank.

PS does anyone understand why loading timnes in IE7 and FF on XP are about 3 secs where on apple saf and FF that is about 1 sec?

Just get an apache default hosting page.

Hello Frank,
I’m getting a "looking up manager" message showing for a couple of seconds in FF on XP.
Might be to do with the double"//" in your header here?

Also the link you posted has wwww. !

Sorry bout the wwww, should be okay now, and thanks for the tip on the //.
Changed

<script src="[(base_url)]/manager/media/script/scriptaculous/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

to and that seems to make a big difference.

Instead of putting [(base_url)] in your links, you might want to put the following above anything path-related/containing in your document header:


(The closing </base> avoids problems with everyone’s favorite browser, IE6.)

Almost instant load now.
Where’s all the content?
I was looking forward to seeing some Velocettes!
I did like the test video, reminds me of all those Dutch caravans in the summer clogging up Europe.

so the above would be

<script src="<base href="[(site_url)]></base>"manager/media/script/scriptaculous/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

?

Maybe I should have waited for the content, but them guys are allways working those bikes . Thought I d show the layout, just could not wait for that content,

No, these are two different independant tags.
It is something like this:

@Franck

For your footer, I am not sure (I am not very experienced in css) but to center your text rather using lot of &nbsp, you can enclose your footer text between <p> tag :and define in your css file something like:
Otherwise I Love too your test film from KPN : extremely long traffic jam on the road to Avignon

(I have removed the email address of the footer to avoid spam )
