Site

Not really a beginner question but couldn't really find a better spot to post this then the "Just starting design" forum.

I am making a site (domain not registered yet so I won't tell you what it is) but I need ideas on what to do

browser bugs (ie, ff, chrome, opera, saf)?
tutorials?

anything you guys want in a website? Please give suggestions

The question should be what do you want to do and is there enough market demand for it?

Draft a list of things you want to do (I'm writing a starter guide on search engine optimization, revamping my personal site, and working on a Web development e-zine, plus a personal pet project involving stupid criminals) and then draw up a list of words that are related to them.

Let's use the "Stupid Criminals" example as a demonstration. You've got various words you can use - stupid criminals, dumb criminals, dumb crooks, idiotic criminals, and so forth. Once you have that list, go to the search engine you prefer and look them up. (Note, a lot of search results does not necessarily mean there's a demand for them.)

well I want to do something with css

like browser bugs
or css tuturials
advanced css tutorials
cross browser techniques
forums

But I was asking the opinion of the people on SP is there anything special you guys see lack in a site?

There's only so much you can cover with just CSS, but perhaps you could include CSS 3 tips and tricks?

jay: kev, what do i hate?
kevin: stupid criminals
jay: no, the other thing
kevin: oh yeah, clothes for pets

bboardx, you might want to create a site that shows how to write css without using any css hacks

let me know if you need further info on what constitutes a "css hack"

I know what a css hack is.....

I should just basically cover everything about css then. Ok

well, not exactly -- if you try to "cover everything about css" you will be the same as all the hunnerts of other basic css sites out there

assume your reader will already understand what css is all about, and approach your tutorials from the standpoint of "correct thinking" -- that trying to get all browsers to lay out a page identically is flawed from the get go, and writing hacks to target this browser version or that browser version is fundamentally flawed

concentrate on the techniques that work identically in all browsers -- it can be done but it will be difficult, which is why there is a need for this type of information
