KI FANATIC 37 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 That loos really good! I will definatively keep checking on this! Quote
bkroz Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Other than tiny errors (like "whats" instead of "what's" and WindSeeker being uncapitalized in the second sentence of the page) it looks so cool! I, too, will be checking back! Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Honestly I think the final product will be better than KI WindSeeker website. Quote
HTCO Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks everyone! And yes, I noticed those errors as I posted that. I worked all day Friday in class and finally uploaded it as the bell rang. Also, throw in some suggestions you want to see! Quote
Fear the Four Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Looks really cool! You should add a webcam lol just kidding. If any ideas pop into my head I'll post them. Quote
CedarPointer Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I think your font choice on the text could be better, although I'd bet your teacher told you to use Times New Roman if your teacher is anything like my webpage design teacher was. I really like the graphics, though. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Some constructive criticism: Your email link on the home page is broken. For a correct direct email link, you need to prefix the email address in the "href" attribute with "mailto:", so it looks something like this:<a href="mailto:username@isp.net">Contact me</a> However, that opens up your email address to spammers. I recommend instead hiding the email address behind a CAPTCHA (those type-what-you-see-in-the-picture things) by using the free reCAPTCHA Mailhide tool. In the original post above, you linked to the site with the words "Click Me". That's generally considered bad form for the reasons laid out in the Wikipedia article on "Click here". I know that's not technically criticism of the site itself, but I just want to make sure you're aware of that for the future. Otherwise, I like it! Keep us updated on it. Quote
HTCO Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Alright I went in today in class and worked on it the last 10 minutes of class. I finished the information page, but for some reason my image is broken. I'll have to check that out tomorrow. Also, jcgoble3 I think I fixed what you said I should do about the Contact Me link. As for the click me I really don't care . Thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming! Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 It looks great HTCO! Rally good job! I have no complaints yet! Quote
TylerRider Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Great Website! Just one thing. The construction is going to start in the off season. The park has officially told us. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Looks good HTCO! Keep up the good work! Quote
HTCO Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks guys! I'll make that change about the updates page on Monday! Quote
I Still Call It Top Gun Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I hope they don't get rid of the Flight Commander queue building. I STILL haven't got to see it. Well, I saw it, blew it off, and then found out it's importance. Anyway, can't wait for WindSeeker 2011! Love the website! Quote
Creed Bratton Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 ^^ What importance are you talking about? By the way, welcome to KIC Quote
Creed Bratton Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Little Bump, this link now directs you to a quilt website. Quote
HTCO Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah sorry about that everyone. I had to replace the WindSeeker domain with my exam website for a bit. I'm working on getting a free domain for now. If anyone can suggest a good free web hosting site where I can just transfer my files using a FTP protocol please share. In the mean time the site is down. Quote

hamoperator Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 The WindSeeker page on VisitKI says that "pass holders get to ride all year long"? Are they making a change that they have not told everyone about? or just a typo? meaning the season. Quote

HTCO Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 A few words about the comments you posted below the segments of the ride outside the manufacturing plant. First, as others have mentioned, use spell checker! You spelled appears wrong! And yes, spelling is a big deal. I went on an interview for a co-op position once. I had THREE spelling errors on my online portfolio website (they were typos, and three scattered over about thirty pages). But my interviewer informed me of those typos... Needless to say, after that interview, I ALWAYS spell check things. (I ultimately did not end up taking a position at that firm). Secondly, the portion you mention about us being 'not too far behind Cedar Point.' Our ride foundation was actually poured BEFORE Cedar Points. Not to mention Cedar Point opens two full weeks behind Kings Island. Which is roughly the time difference between the pours of the ride foundation at Kings Island and Cedar Point. I write these paragraphs in probably less than 2 minutes. Because I have a life and need to attend to it. I appreciate the help with all the 'legal' issues with the photos and all. But the constant reminder of spelling errors is getting old. I'm aware of them, and honestly will fix them when I have the time. I'm a sophomore in high school for crying out loud. This site is NOT professional in anyway shape or form. Its a personal website I make for you guys so when this thing is all said and done you can look back on the progress.(I mean come on, its on a free domain host). Quote
Fear the Four Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 It's better to be right than to be wrong. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I wasn`t trying to criticize you HTCO, just offering friendly words of advice. (Advice that could be well served, as had someone told me to check all my spelling, I could have very well landed a different co-op job). Yes, you are still a youngin`. And at least you are prepared to learn and take on new ambitions like building a website. I know how life can get busy. Just wait until after you are done with college and have a full time job. Quote
lance99 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I am in no way telling you what/how to use this site and your site is cool, just watch yourself as that site may get pulled for not being a registered through KI (offical) site...just sayin'. Quote
