Topic: Concise Freeware (Page 1 of 1)

Hello,
I made a concise collection of all the best freeware on the net.
Share this unique site with everyone!


http://www.concisefreeware.com/

An amazing collection of Freeware, online services, informative links and other special sites.
You will all love it!

SPAM!

It's not spam!!!
It's an personal project of mine that I want to share with your comunity.
Many users from your comunity can benefit.

But:
You have never been a visible part of this community.
You do not request any feedback from us.

It is easy to see this as spam, you know.
Till you have something more to say than 'I'm providing a service and I'm telling you about it', this goes where the search engines won't pick it up.

(Credit for showing up again, though. If you want a site review, say so, and I'll move it into the appropriate category).

so long,

I don't know alot of poeple and I want people to benefit from my creation.
So I am looking for nice comunities to share it with.

I think some people see an invitation from a stranger as spam when actualy it is just an opening to freindship and sharing.

To recognize an invitation as spam it should include at least one of the following:
Stupidity
Purchase
Anonymity
Manipulation

well, honestly...the way you are presenting your "creation" really looks like spam. really. maybe you should think about that, and try to provide a more in-depth look about what you want to share with us.

its your first post, and you are writing like this: hello. i have something cool. check it out. here is the link. bye.
so please dont be angry about me having assumed that this message was spam

Well aside from a bit of a rocky introduction it's a pretty decent little resource page he's got there.
I particularly enjoyed the games links.

Anyway... it's certainly not spam.... so welcome aboard YotamElal. =)

Very ozoney in color scheme, perhaps a long time lurker?

yup, it smell(ed)(s) spammy

see you here tomorrow YotamElal?

Bah, the least interesting freeware game list I have ever seen (!!!!). It doesn't even have Cave Story.

GLTron looks cool. Am really bad at it, lol. Crazy picture of some guy's 12 screen setup http://www.gltron.org/images/tronwall.jpg

I actually prefer Armagetron's gameplay over GLTron's. GLTron does have prettier bikes, though.

huh?

Digital TV?

Any tentacle porn available?

Errr, not for my own use... I just want to make sure children will be safe...

OK?

Is This Thing On?

Webbing; the stuff that sticks to your face.

I'm happy that people are finally starting to benefit from my site.
I will add the suggestions & links you gave next update (probobly in a few days)

mas:
thanks, I'll try to look less spamy...

I actually found this site to be very useful. I liked alot of the resources. I have yet to try any of the freeware, but I will as soon as time permits. Thanks for the link!

Ok, you requested a review

you get it.
Here's the 'look' review:
Part 1 and Part 2


Otherwise:
-It validates. Good.
-There seems to be a lot, and I mean a lot of whitespace in the html. Not necessary, and it eats bandwidth.
-You have some sortabletable javascript in there that you're not using. At least not in Opera.
-You're using inline styles. Avoid them. They don't scale, they're a nuisance to maintain, and they're sementically irrelevant at best.
-You're missing some alt attributes. Add them.
-If I ever see a bunch of   after each other again, I'm gonna go stark raving mad. If you must, use min-width (which all major browser support), or just define a width for the td and put as single div in there... but no  ... you can never say exactly how high it will be. (Especially with IE font size scaling)
-Don't use tables for styling. That's so 1998. Just don't. Search the archives for why ;-)
-The image legend should be a definition list (look the tag up)
-you're including the unused sortabletable.js multiple times... that's a usally a sign that you've gone in over your head.
-Your table head... it's a mess. Come on. You could have just used a colspan, and one larger transpix. Why are you mixing transpix and &nbsp;? Why don't you have any <th> in your <thead>? Why is games bolded via a span, when it really is a table head, or even a <h1>?
-<small> is not a tag I'd expect any browser to render consitently.
-<img src="icons/apprentice.ico" - ... an ico. On the web? Sure windows systems display them - but standar are gif or jpeg, and they'll work on any 1995 browser as well.
-So... get rid of the whitespace, clean up your styles, remove uneccessary tables (your content belongs in tables), add SmartTab to the listing, and your already usefull site will be neat as well.

If you have any more questions,
feel free to ask.

so long,
Tyberius Prime

I did a lot of changes, not all of the things you suggested, but eventually I'll get to most of them.
Thanks for the tips.

BTW TaskSwitchXp is better then SmartTab

not if you want something that's list's all your windows at once, allows you to access virtually every one with a single keystroke and does not display a preview... I don't care for preview, I care for instantness ;-).

your right.
I'll add it as an alternative to TaskSwitchXP.

Iv'e been doing a lot of wok on my site!
I changed and fixed a lot of things, but there are still some to do.

Maybe you can help:

Do you know of a good site that I can learn how to use the css instead of tables?
should I use h2, th or nothing for the table title (now that they are pictures?)
how can I make my css better and make less inline style?
you said that the legend should be a defenition list. should it be different from the other tables?
what is transpix?
the java-script sortabletable.js is for automatically sorting the categories ABC order, is there a better way?

Things I probobly won't change:
adsense is better without a border. They told me that on AdsenseChat
http://www.adsensechat.com/showthread.php?p=9866#post9866
smarttab not adding cause taskswithxp can also have the preview disabled so it's basically like smarttab but has more optoins.

BTW Tyberius Prime you shold move to Firefox with the best extensions instead of opera. Extensions like TabMixPlus, Accessibaar & GooglePreview advance the browsing a lot! and also I guesss opera has some trouble with javascript (you said that the sortabletable.js didn't work in opera.)

I like it, it should be added to the faq imho, I was thinking though, the ability to post comments/reviews/ranking of the your programs and the ability to recommend other programs to you via a small form would be a great benefit to you and the site. I'm not sure how savvy you are with the code yet though.
Designwise, its a bit plain and undistinguished from the google ads

On a more unrelated note, I don't see how badger,badger,badger is considered art-freeware in any way.

then add it to the faq, Hugh

Yep, a freeware subtopic would fit in nicely 'round here -

Software

For me to build a comments/reviews/ranking abiity would take ages.
If you or anyone are intrested in helping to make this ability, that would be great.
If not than it will wait till I have money for development or a lot of spare time.
About the design, if anyone has any ideas for design, or can help with design, please do.
About program suggestions, I have at the bottom of every page "Any Suggestions? Contact Us".
