ok, here's my new site i'm working on:
http://bashfreebieguide.com/5minsite
(it'll be at themicropages.com soon)
i'd like to add a touch more color, but i dunno. i was gonna make the selected section (eg Hot, Popular) colored, but i don't want to make it red, same as Create, and i dunno what other color to pick. the underline effect i have now isn't too noticeable. i a slo tried ot get some kind of "glow" effect working but couldn't do it.
the title graphics will obviously be changed to match the name.
the site will need to detect your screen res and adjust accordingly, or maybe i can figure a way to do it with percentages (the frame height of the user's page needs adjusted to fit onscreen at all times)
let me know what you think of the name also. i'd considered nanosites.net, littlepages.net, tinypages.net, micropages.org, smallpages.com too
as for the point of the site, it allows people to make a quick, simple webpage. i'm not sure what people would put there really... but it's not for like, pages you would want to maintain and update often (tho you will be able to update) it's more for just shit you want to stick on there real quick. just something interesting or funny or other types of things people usually post on a forum. it could be a political or other cause, it could be a picture of some crazy shit that you've got, i dunno. if it's in the right category you can even post blatant ads for your own website (non-commercial websites) or whatever else.
if anyone wants to make suggestions i need some possible categories to include. i'm already thinking along the lines of funny pictures/videos/etc as well as political/other causes and also of regional stuff (states, countries, etc). there needs to be quite a few categories.
what kinda sets this site aside from any i've seen before is how you go to the site and you've got a user's page right there in front. you can click the Next button and it may be a page about something completely different. you can browse categories or sort all the pages by rating and see what you come across.
i'm hoping to allow picture uploads, tho i dunno about video or other cause of bandwidth and space issues.
some bugs are of course still present and features missing. right now when you create a page you have to enter html. i'm hoping to add a wysiwyg or a wizard-type thing.
oh, and some things i dunno how to work out yet:
the Hot section is pages with the most hits for the time they've been there. hits per hour. but if a site is added and then immediately viewed or viewed a couple times right after, then the HPH is way, way high, and so the newest pages would always be the "hot" pages.
"most popular" is total hits. when you browse tho i just have a sorting option of "popularrity" right now. i dunno if it'll be for total hits or HPH. HPH might not work entirely.
and no, you can't add porn, despite what some page someone made says...
anyways, any suggestions are appreciated. about the design, any features or anything.
