Why yes...I did. 
I tried setting it up in ms frontpage...thought it would be easier. It just made sloppy code imo. I used to be "very" good with html...some of my skills have slipped a little though. I really should get around to adding "meta tags" and such...eh, someday.
I'm fairly good with javascript also...although none is incorportated in the site.
Hmmmm........  |

Good idea Gill...
Actually, when I code, I usually check it out in several browsers just to see if results are the same. I don't have Netscape on my desktop...but I do on my laptop.
<---runs to laptop to check things out. |

dreamweaver makes tidier code, it even has a code cleaner feature, but I prefer notepad - better for writing server side scripts |

i usually start off w/ ms frontpage2k to get the layout idea worked out. i clean up w/ aceHTML5 pro, where it has all the html code bits to help me.
notepad or webpad for quick little html edits. |

I just use notepad to write it and to preview it I save really quick and open with firefox. To each his own, as the old saying goes  |

you guys don't have any css? dam, suprised it's so neatly laid out...
you could prob save a lot of unnecessary code if you put it into your css file.
For example, i see that each sub heading you have had to put into virdana every time.
you could save a lot of time by making a style.css file and putting this into it:
| Code: |
h2
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
|
This makes the h2 into virdana, but if someone doesn't have virdana as a font it goes to arial, and if they don't have arial it goes to sans-serif.
Of course, you don't have to include simple things, you can also make them all the same colour, size etc included in this, for example, in the website i am making i have this as my subheader:
| Code: |
h2
{
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 16pt;
letter-spacing: 0px;
font-stretch: none;
color: #7B7B3E;
border: none;
margin-bottom: 0%;
padding-bottom: 0pt;
margin-top: 0%;
padding-top: 0pt;
}
|
Of course, you don't just have to do headers in css, the general style and format of the page can be done, link settings, lots of things  .
It is also not hard to learn if you know html, things are almost the same.
To get the style.css file to work you need to include a link to this in html at the start of your page, like this:
| Code: |
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
|
If you do not call your css file style.css then you alter this to whatever you called file. Also, i advise saving this file in the same location as your html file. |

Definitely...if the site involved more pages (which it may someday soon)...I would use style sheets to make the overall layout easier, more uniform and reduce code.
This site started out as just a "real" simple page with some info. Then I added this...and then that...and presto.
Since the whole page uses "verdana"...you pretty much have to only reference it once. You see so many references to it cause I first laid it out in ms frontpage. Like I said before, frontpage makes sloppy code.
I could take it out...but, if it ain't broke...don't fix it. |

Like yours Adam...it's one of the better php based sites I've seen.
Good job...
P.S. Now that I've taken a look...the game monitors don't seem to work with NS 4.8. All other browsers, IE, NS7 and Firefox, show it correctly. |

Now that I'm off college for easter, I can make a new site if you like, even with a built in Java IRC applet  |
