Between now and the start of Spring Break, I hope to have a new version of Fitzweather (My site) up and running like a top. I use a site with no scripts, so I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers on things I need, or great ideas that could help me build a good site.

Thanks! Smile

So you can't run scripts? You're going to be VERY limited with what you can do.

I think "limited" is a better word. Why no scripts?

Well, a couple reasons Smile

A) Im not very good at them because Im fairly new to web design
B) I like making my own forecasts so I wouldnt need, say an NWS forecast script

C) I like being original  Very Happy

But without scripts, it's all manual work. So you're going to work on your page several times a day just to get the forecast up there?

In order to get and keep people coming to your website, you need dynamic content, something that's always current and engaging. You just can't do that with a static site. I understand that scripts can sometimes be difficult but that's just part of the learning process. Don't give up on them yet!

You make a valid point. I worked it twice a day everyday to keep it updated, so maybe I shouldnt give up on them quite yet, but its gonna be a long road Wink

You're limited, anyway, if you still don't have your own weather station.
