2006-10-02 [Cia_mar]: i was so surprised when i found my screen name out there as much as i did on a search one day!!! and it wasn't just on elftoen either!!!!!!!!some people were quoting me on other sites from what i had said in elftown!!!

2006-10-02 [silent_voice]: thats what dad has

2006-10-02 [akhirah]: woa, my myspace is there? *blush*

2006-10-02 [Jitter]: If I try and google my screenname I will come up with a loverly book ;P

2006-10-02 [Faery Rule]: im highly confused on how this works can someone plz explain?

2006-10-02 [font]: If you have a website, add a link to elftown.eu from it. Then have your website submitted to google. Then wait. :P

2006-10-02 [jsun]: Well elftown has been linked to my website for quite awhile but it's also on my newer more popular site. Let's hope that I climb those ratings. The site's only been online for a month now. (www.drawfantasy.com)

2006-10-02 [Hedda]: [jsun]: You often get much better effect if you link it from / than from some sub-page. It's better to have some small links on the first page, and then the more explaining links on the link-page.

You frontpage is broken though. Everything to the left is overwriting each other (I think this is because I don't have exactly the font needed and my text is therefore bigger than your layout expect). I suggest that you at all cost avoid using width and height on boxes. Use margins and percent instead. Write <td class=TWENTY> and then in the stylesheet (See <URL:/> for how to write the stylesheet in the page): TWENTY { width:20%;}

Seems like you're using "BlueVoda" to make the page. Well, either you do it wrong or that program sucks. I think both. Get a texteditor like Emacs and write correct HTML by hand instead.

2006-10-02 [Hedda]: And it usually takes at least 3-6 months to get rated by Google. So this competition is late out. But don't worry. There will be one next year too!

2006-10-02 [Faery Rule]: i think ill wait until next year

2006-10-02 [font]: Well "Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Jun 13, 2006" So even with a website submitted it still might take a while for Googlebot to crawl again.

2006-10-03 [Hedda]: About the: www.drawfantasy.com

Damn that site was tricky with all its absolute positions! I guess the only way to easily fix it is to make the boxes a little extra big so that the text always fit.

There is no problem with the absolute-positioned images on the top. The problem is the boxes with fixed size that text is forces into. And they can't be flexible because there are no columns. You need 1 or 2 tables, but it will not look perfect without some change.

2006-10-03 [jsun]: Thanks Hedda :) I'll go get to work on that now. This is the first I've heard of the text issue so hopefully it is a rather uncommon issue on my site so far. ---- Ok now I've got the text set to Times New Roman which should work for everybody. Didn't actually realize that Palitino Type was what I'd used and well,... that's just not as common :/  You were right about me using BlueVoda for the page but it does work nicely and friendly so long as you don't make little mistakes such as the text one I made. I'd say for a graphical site it's really nice but not really for an ergonomical type site. And... guess I'll try to make it next year :) I'll be here like always

2006-10-04 [Hedda]: It might be something that even if I have the same font, it's not exactly the same size. Which makes it not fit well.

2006-10-06 [Amerthyst]: can xale.deviantart.com be added?

2006-10-06 [sacred dragon]: how do u become a elftown gaurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
