Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

OK, I'm going to be honest. Probably a LOT more honest than you want me to be.
If I had gone to your web site in search of geckos to purchase, I would never have even gone past the first page. The falling leaves and mouse gimmick are enough to drive me crazy.
The "home" button on your home page... What purpose does it serve? It leads me to believe I am not actually home, and if I click that button enough times, I'll eventually get there.
Below that, you have what apears to be three pages: "Welcome", "About me and my", and "Projects" (in reality, it is only two pages). But are these significantly different enough to warrant separate pages? It seems the info is redundant.
It might be a good idea to run a spelling and grammar check as well.................................... If you know what I mean. While proper spelling grammar is not the ultimate decision making factor when I am browsing a web site, it certainly plays a role. At first glance, I would assume your web site was built by a 13 year old with AOL. And that would rule out any possibility of a purchase.
Don't be afraid to GET TO THE POINT! Tell people what you would want to know, if you were the one visiting the page.
Here's a few links to help you get through some of the common problems:

Most of Jakob Nielson's advice is very good. Definitely should be required reading for anyone wanting to build a web site.
(Like I said, probably a lot more honest than you wanted. I apologize. I'm not trying to be rude. Just honest!)

no thats perfectly allright didnt sound THAT rude ! except the very insulting 13 year old remark ! appology accepted , but that part just sounds like it was meant to be insulting!.......... home page... What purpose does it serve? It leads me it is >>>> the first page of the website , there is no way to change the title of that page !................"Welcome", "About me and my", and "Projects" (in reality, it is only two pages). But are these significantly different enough to warrant separate pages? >>>>yes in reality it is 2 pages "welcome is to say hello,about me and my projects " is 2 pages in one (very self explanatory) i suppose i could put all of those into 1 page (but in the menu it might look like 3 pages no matter what ) only other idea i have for that is to put them all together and just that page "info" its a free web-page you only get 7 pages i think ! QUOTE >apears < TYPE-O ? hmmmm ? i will not use a spell-check , since i actually know how to spell the english language very well , just let something slip by i guess ! i do not know what you mean! , wouldnt you bring to my attention what is mis-spelled ? i dont think that freewebs even has a spell-check (alot of their features do not even work correctly as it is ) Thanx for the help , stay honest , no problem with that , im VERY honest (too honest most ofthe time as well)

I would have to agree with a couple points that were made. I did not particually like the leaves or the clock, it kind of distracted me from the content of your site. I thought the layout and colors were cool. In the nav bar though, I would suggest putting spaces between the seperate links so it is more distinct and there is no confusion.

right! i do agree
the nav buttons suck (for lack of a better word) there is no way to control the spacing , no way i can put those two page names on one button w/out it looking like three , decided to combine both "welcome" and " about me and my projects" (one title) and poss. re-name to "info" ! when i mark my pictures and figure out how to make them smaller (for dial-upers ) , i can use the "home" page as my welcome page , that is how i had it set up the first time , before i put the huge picture on the front and use the silly leaves on lol ! unfortunately (i think) it will still appear in the nav. bar named "home" , i did not build this site (as you put it) just "filled in the blanks" but thank you all , for the help and kind words

Well first off, its a pretty nice site. The falling leaves, and the mouse get in the way though. And im pretty sure that thing you did was illegal. Making that false thing of the copyright. if it was real it would say: Copyright ©2004 groovy geckos - all rights reserved. depending on where you got it copyrighted, most will look like that, but everyone that actually knows about copyrights would notice that is fake. I wouldnt say it looks like a 13 year old with AOL made it though. With that said, the rest is pretty nice.
