How hard is it to make a website

[beautifulrock]

not sure if you are being smart there rock, but no they have a trainer who is not a player

no not being smart but know a few lads who played in London and am aware that it is tough to get things organised over there due to lack of numbers and the sucess of the tiger means fewer Irish making the trip across. Your lot seem better organsied than most, fair play to the club if that is the case but from what I know about London GAA getting a manager/trainer is one of the more difficult pieces of the jigsaw.

Nice one , after about an hour last night of ****ing about at 2 in the morning with slightly blury vision i got something pulled together , i have a lovely heading that comes in from the side when you open the page (but then stops does nt scroll ), I have a guestbook , a bit of text, a pic, a button that does nothing .....yet !! and a button that links to a message board for people to leave messages .

Its something along the lines of Homers dancing jesus website as in its just about nothing . I reckon im in luck with the name as there isnt a .com .ie or .eu domain there is a .co.uk and a .cafeuk.com one beacuase some band is called them same thing . Which may cause problems

Its a starting point at least. have'nt got to the publishing and registering stage yet ....lots more reading to do

Im very worried about copyright etc for example say if you put a pic of a player up is there image rights issues ? and is it ok to link to articles etc with out getting permission from the other site?.

just put at the end of the page "images copyright their respected owners. to have an image removed, email paul@whatever.com".

its perfectly fine to link to anyone, they'll probably appreciate it.

Please don't do this, it's breach of copyright by definition. If you want to use someone's images, ask their permission.

On the subject of IE domain names, personal domain names in the style of firstnamelastname.ie (and several other formats) will become available towards the end of the summer. They cost the same as a regular IE domain, however you'll get two years for the price of one on first registration from most resellers.

The price quoted earlier is the retail rate from the registry, most resellers will charge in the €50-60 region these days.

The guide to current registration policy, and documentation required, is here. Feel free to click the Beecher Networks link in my sig when you're ready to register.

lionel when you click into the about page you cant click onto any of the other links!

i never knew your name was niall!!

Hi again Paul, am I right in guessing you're using Firefox? I just opened it in Firefox and found exactly the same thing. Just on that page. It's something to do with the positioning of a table. I'll bet you'll find the last three links work now. There goes my sunday afternoon trying to sort this one.

Not a bad case study for anto mind -ensuring your site views properly on differing browsers.

Nice netiquette there using my first name btw. I hope you're more discrete over on fistingfiremen.com



Thanks for the heads-up mind.

thats fine for a major site - wikipedia, news outlets et al. realistically, its not always possible - photos will end up being bandied around without attribution. of course, if the photo is clearly watermarked etc, you should ask permission.

lionel it was indeed with firefox!!!

lionel it was indeed with firefox!!!

should all work okay now. Can't resolve the positioning of the icons though (that is - why they're on two rows rather than one long row as with IE)

More in my line to write and record a few songs properly anyway rather than worrying about websites.

[paul_oshea]

ya but are the songs better than the website only messin!!! tis a good website.

there is an add-on for firefox that can tell you whats wrong but i cant remember its name!!
