Gamer Graphix

Gamer Graphix, an art site by keasly2020
So here we have a great art site, with lots of goodies for art-impaired Zetas to grab. :) If you are also an anime fan, make sure you check this site out. There are lots of backgrounds available, none specifically Zeta, but all would look good on a fansite, lookup, or club layout. Speaking of club layouts, keasly has concocted a bunch of precoded layouts to make sure every club layout looks great, even if the owner is not a web guru. I think this is not only a unique idea (keasly was the first I saw handing these out) but also a great idea which helps the Zetapets clubs ALL look good. :) And if you are one of those people who like having music on your site/lookup, there's loads for you to grab.

Other good points: Keasly has the requisite copyright notice, and is hosting all the images. She also has a great statement on the bottom of her page stating that if she has inadvertantly used a copyright image, that the owner should email her and Keasly will link to the owner or remove the graphic. That's good, although it would be nice if she knew where the images were coming from (but I know that in the virtual world, that's not always possible). And incredibly, she has all the images coded, meaning that she wants people directly linking the images to her server instead of saving them to her own.

Bad points: I had to modify the code for the two different linkback buttons I have used for this site. Nothing big, but there is an extra "s" in the URL, which means that if I was a total noob, the image wouldn't show and I would have no idea why. Other than that? Nothing really glaring. The layout is a little confused for me, but keasly even has mentioned that Gamer Graphix is more about getting the graphics out there, not creating a website. I don't like that every link pops up a new browser window (I like working in tabs . . .Mozilla is cool like that, not like much else, but definitely like that), but the navigation menu is at least very straight forward.

This site gets a good solid one paw up, due to the linkback button problems. If you are going to provide code, make sure that it is accurate for the sake of newbie webbies. :)
