"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What up DJs, I always value the opinions of this board and would like you to critique, suggest, bash, praise...anything you got in terms of how these sites look and feel to navigate. I'm really new to the website thing and these are "rough" to me but good enough to host. They are "side projects" for now and not something I slave 10 hours a day modifying.

Plus I did this all using Mozilla on my 1152x864 something resolution. Let me know how it looks on IE (cant use it because it basically blows up my computer), mac, and smaller resolutions.

Thanks.

Some suggestions I've had off another forum:
-Code the page to center itself so different resolutions arent as skewed viewing the page.
-Drop adsense (not going to happen for now)
-Drop the flickr bar on DuctFuct (would love to eventually but need to increase my pictures)
-Fix links that dont work (I know which ones dont work)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Guys I had a comment on another forum saying the formating of the ads were all screwed up. Random-assed ads in weird places. To me it looks fine in Firefox, everything lines up. Can anyone verify in IE that this isnt all cracked out?

this is a forum to pick up girls, not a good place to ask for tips about coding websites

Which is exactly why I put this in the "anything else" category. Plus I didnt ask anyone for "code" tips. Just looking for other opinions and views about the sites. Ppl ask about cars but I can point you to a million different sites for that too. Or health/food/games....
