>>That is precisely the type of person and attitude that made me withdraw from applying to be an editor.<<

Please don't think that becoming an editor automatically makes you subject to dealing with these types of people. This forum is frequented by both editors and general public who like to be vocal about issues. There are many, many parts of the directory that are quiet and non-controversial and the only people you interface with are other like-minded editors.

>> I could not think of very good desciptions for the websites I thought needed to be added <<

A very honest assessment. However, a desire to help and a willingness to be mentored can overcome this handicap. There are formal mentoring programs and plenty of friendly editors to help you find your way.

We would love for you to reconsider becoming an editor - if you wish, email myself, a Texas editor, or another editor in this forum, and we'll try to help!

Hello Everyone,

I re-submitted my site after a thorough re-working of everything including DNS Server, HTML, and Content.
The site should resolve 100% of the time now thanks to secondary.com (if they are not in ODP they most assuredly should be, an excellent free service)
The HTML is all valid excepting the ie specific tags regarding margins.
And there is enough content to explain all that we do.
All links to "in development" pages have been removed.

I appreciate all of the suggestions I received, if not necessarily the tone of some of them. One of the hardest things in life is to take good advice presented in a mean spirited manner.
Particular thanks to thehelper and Lissa for the kind words and even tone.
Now that I reveiw the replies, I do notice that *most* of the distrustful and mean spirited posts are from other members such as myself and not from ODP volunteers.

If you do continue to experience DNS issues when trying to reach the site please reply to the post or PM me. I was unaware of it until I posted here.

Regards,


Todd Hemsell

Not required to be listed on ODP, but changing <script language="javascript"> to <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> will remove a couple more of the validation errors. Hope that helps! [JavaScript tutorials NEVER seem to mention this] Site access seems reliable today, and the whole thing looks and feels a LOT better than before; the navigation now seems to work (I didn't try every link though).

Thanks!

I had been looking for an example of that and was unable to locate one. I found numerous references to it, but no clear examples.
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the marnheight errors, I was thinking CSS, would that do it?

There isn't a specific forum for HTML type questions on http://www.resource-zone.com/ but I have found the people on http://www.webmasterworld.com/ [in the "Browsers, HTML, and Web Page Design" forum] to be generally friendly and helpful on these topics.

This will probably help: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/2996.htm .
