Next week from Afam's inbox; "Why speaking the English Language guarantees that Israel will continue to exist". We must ensure the Evil West is destroyed and Islam rules the world. Allah Arkbar!!! Allah Arkbar!!! Allah Arkbar!!!

Come, this woman, don't worry yourself too much with the unknown as there are enough known issues to trash out.

The supreme court shouldn't have asked for Amaechi to be sworn in, it should have ended its judgement with the disqualification of Celestine.

As at today the most dangerous person is Bush and for the past 5 years he has been responsible for the majority of the chaos and killing of innocent people in the world today.

Even the best spin doctors and blind supporters cannot defend him on this one.

Unfortunately, rather than these politicians in both houses sorting out such inconsistencies they are busy fighting amongst themselves over crazy contracts.

Unless PDP is telling Nigerians that the election was about the party and not the individual I see no reason why someone that was never voted for would take over the position of a governor simply because there were irregularities in the way INEC and the party conducted themselves.

Unfortunately, there is no Biafra today in world's history. Better become used to Nigeria my friend!

What has Biafra got to do with this post? I am aware that some animals only see life through ethnic and tribal prisms but next time keep your ethnic inclined comment and advice to your sorry self.

@Bankole01,

Forgive the young man, that is what he does these days, he keeps abusing anyone and everyone that he does not expressly agree with and the irony of it all is that he fells he is right and justified to do so.

Calling someone a retard for simply starting a thread is most unfortunate and highly regrettable.

On the murder of Bola Ige nothing will remain hidden under the sun forever, a day will come and the truth will surface, just like that.

Enjoy.

ruemu:
u said it all, But I strongly advice you do your home work very well don't just jump at the 9k or 18k daily income. Consider cost of running biz daily also, major setback is POWER.

On power, unfortunately many spend a lot of money running gen sets when other backup options exist.

A properly designed backup system will save you a lot of money which could be used to grow other aspects of your business.

The Show Goes On---And On – by Ali Abunimah

The "Middle East Peace Process" is like one of those big
budget Broadway extravaganzas; they go on for years, but
with each revival the cast changes. What may seem like a
tired production to some nevertheless manages to remain
fresh to the gullible throngs willing to hand over the
price of admission.

Unlike a few hours of theatrical escapism, however, the
producers of the Middle East Peace Process hope that the
audience will actually believe that what they are viewing
on stage, whether performed in Madrid, Oslo, London,
Washington or Sharm al-Sheikh is real-life and even has
the potential to end the conflict caused by a century of
western-supported Zionist colonization in Palestine.

In the latest revival, Condoleezza Rice plays the US
secretary of state determined to bring the long-running
conflict to a close with skilful diplomacy designed to put
in a place a "process" eventually leading to a two-state
solution. George Bush, tired of being typecast as a
warmonger, tries on the role of lame-duck president who
spent years enabling Israeli colonization, but who, with
an eye on his legacy, is now committed to peacefully ending
the conflict once and for all.

Other key actors include Mahmoud Abbas, a colorless
quisling whose only power base is the American and Israeli
guns that keep him installed in his Ramallah Green Zone -
filling in for the late Yasser Arafat as leader of the
Palestinians, and Ehud Olmert, understudy to Ariel Sharon
who left the stage unexpectedly.

Special guest star Tony Blair, who just completed a long
and controversial run as prime minister of a marginal
European power, hopes that by joining the peace process
cast as "Quartet special envoy" he can breathe life into
a flagging career.

Once in a while, reality bursts on to the stage to disrupt
the show - and that has happened again just as the
producers are getting ready to take it on tour to
Annapolis, where President Bush plans to hold a meeting
of key leaders some time this autumn.

Last week, just after Abbas's representatives met with
Israeli counterparts to try to hammer out a "declaration
of principles" to unveil at the Annapolis meeting, the
Israeli army announced the expropriation of almost 300
acres of Palestinian land near occupied East Jerusalem for
the purpose of expanding the already massive Jewish-only
settlements which bisect the West Bank and render a
contiguous Palestinian state impossible. Since the peace
process began in 1993, Israel has confiscated an area
equivalent to the size of Washington, DC, for the
construction of Jewish-only colonies fully confident that
none of the actors on stage will lift a finger to stop it.

Rice feigns frustration: "Frankly it is time for the
establishment of a Palestinian state," she said at a press
conference with Abbas. "We frankly have better things to
do than invite people" to the Annapolis meeting "for a
photo op". Yet she will be lucky if she even gets that.
Already the meeting date is likely to be pushed back, not
only because of accelerated Israeli colonization, but
because despite the spin there is no fundamental agreement
between the Israelis and Palestinians on the details of
what a two-state solution would look like. As I have
argued elsewhere and in my book, One Country, peace
through partition is an unachievable fantasy.

What's more, none of the players has the credibility or
strength to negotiate on behalf of those whom they purport
to represent. Abbas and his unelected cronies are seen by
many Palestinians as petty collaborators determined to do
all they can to retain their place at the master's table.
Despite an overwhelming desire among Palestinians for
unity, Abbas, blackmailed and bribed by the EU and US,
refuses to talk to Hamas to heal the rifts caused by the
efforts of Fatah militias armed and supported by Israel
and the US to overturn the results of the January 2006
election won by Hamas. There can be no serious peace talks
without Hamas on board.

Olmert, who is fending off multiple criminal corruption
probes, heads a coalition that depends for its majority
on Jewish racists who cannot countenance peace and equality
with Palestinians under any circumstances. Last week, Tony
Blair met with one of those coalition leaders, deputy prime
minister Avigdor Lieberman who heads the proto-fascist
Israel Beitenu party. According to Ha'aretz, Lieberman told
Blair that any solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
"has to include Israel's Arab citizens as well, when the
basis for an agreement should be a land swap and a
population transfer." In other words, there can be no peace
without the expulsion of over one million Palestinian
citizens of Israel. Lieberman has repeatedly promised to
bring down the government if Olmert even discusses "core
issues" at Annapolis such as borders, settlements and the
rights of Palestinian refugees expelled by Israel.

Ha'aretz did not record Blair's reaction to this renewed
call for ethnic cleansing from a senior Israeli official.
(How would Blair have reacted if Ian Paisley had publicly
declared that there could be no peace in Northern Ireland
without the expulsion of all Catholics from the Six
Counties so that Protestant supremacy could be
perpetuated?) But it is a measure of how bankrupt the
process is that EU and US officials meet willingly with
avowed ethnic cleansers of Lieberman's caliber (presumably
on the basis that he is elected) and yet refuse to deal
with Hamas, the democratically-elected representatives
of Palestinians under occupation. Hamas leaders have
repeatedly offered Israel a long-term ceasefire and
negotiations exactly on the Northern Ireland model that
led to the Belfast Agreement of which Blair is so proud.

Blair is apparently unable to understand that what ended
the conflict in Northern Ireland was not his charm, but
the acceptance by all parties of the fundamental principle
of equality among all people regardless of ethno-religious
identity and the progressive reform of state institutions,
like the police, that had been nothing more than sectarian
militias in official uniforms, just as the Israeli police
and army that steal land for Jews are nothing more than
thuggish sectarian militias with uniforms.

In Palestine-Israel, this means abrogating all laws in
Israel that systematically privilege Jews and harm non-
Jewish citizens, ending Israel's military tyranny in the
Occupied Territories, and allowing refugees to return home.
Nothing like that will be on the agenda in Annapolis which
is why the effort will fail.

Issues abeg, no name calling.

@tundewoods,

Such reseller rights and stuff like that have been around for a long time now.

The poster has not told you he compiled free templates to sell (even if he did so, what is criminal about it?). People get materials online and offer seminars at a cost.

Let us learn to treat each other with respect when disagreeing with anything.

I guess Henry knew what he was talking about when he stated about 2 weeks ago that Arsenal will win the Premiership and the Champion's league this season.

I am sure the coaches of Lillypool and Manure will be having series of brainstorming sessions trying to figure out how to solve the latest football puzzle Arsene Wenger has unleashed to the Foobball community.

To be blunt, honest and factual Arsenal play the most beautiful type of football ever known to mankind.

There is no standard cost for a website.

However, 2 things affect the current pricing in Nigeria today as I know it.

Web design or programming

People have different levels of skills, experience and style and bill clients any way they like.

Web hosting

This is the worst culprit as we have a lot of balkanized web hosting plans where you may see up to 10,000 websites hosted on a single machine.

This is the typical cost that is usually advertised and easy to see and analyze.

As they say, you get what you pay for.

Charge what you think that is enough to pay your bills as customers will still go elsewhere the day you run into problems.

So, in reality websites can go for as little as free to as high as millions of Nigeria.

And may God help change the hearts of those that will always twist, misinform, lie and divert attention from issues all in the name of discussing issues.

Politics section I believe is different from Religion section and we should try to respect this fact, trying to turn everything into a religious supremacy thing is both wrong and unfortunate.

We should know where our rights end and where those of others begin.

If you work in a company, unfortunately you don't have the freedom to wear things that the company policy forbid.

As long as you abide by the company policy the next most important thing is for you to dress smart and for you to be comfortable with what you put on.

As My2cents pointed out why would someone be in suit and sweating at the same time? What's the point?

However, if you are not working for anyone you are free to wear anything as long as you remember that what you wear and how you dress one way or the other will affect how you will be valued (loosely speaking).

So, if you look smart in jeans and T- shirts go ahead.

If ties and suits are your preferences by all mean go ahead as long as you don't keep wiping sweat from your face and looking for shades, fans or A/Cs anywhere you go to.

somze:
I don't remember me ever insulting you, but if I did, i'm sorry and did not mean it.

Apology accepted. However, just like a victim never forgets the person inflicting pain on him/her the person inflicting the pain may easily forget. I never drag issues, once I send a reply on any issue it ends there.

somze:
Erm if I can remember clearly, you're the one that used the arrogant line and claimed I was forcing you to take my advices. Thats why I responded strongly.
NO you DO NOT have to . . . this is impractical in real life and even in the world of programming, everyone knows this. Even when you do software on your own you need to choose from different competing interests like speed, aesthetics, platform, ease-of-use, extensibility, functionality etc.

I never claimed you were forcing me to accept your advice. However, I lumped you with the lady when rather than respond to issues directed at you (without any negative issues whatsoever) you chose to be her mouth piece and implied that someone's ego may have been hurt when in the real sense any objective person will know where to direct blames to.

Sentiments and subjectivity don't exist when I deal with people I don't know, I always push for mutual respect for all the parties.

somze:
My point is try as much as possible to reply nicely to everyone that tries to help, it does no good fighting with them. Diplomacy is the key, I don't know how much you have dealt with some customers. You would have had this experience.
Thank you, I've noted this.

About replying nicely, you must understand this - to whom much is given much is expected.

I am sure that all comments and reviews on this thread were treated with utmost respect even when some of them were very harsh.

So, if I thanked all the contributors without using any bad words the question you should have asked as regards the lady contributor was "what went wrong"?

Just as I took time to thank and appreciate everyone's comment while agreeing with or disagreeing with some she was the person who starting using very bad words simply because I pointed out (and very rightly) that on web design there is no consensus even at the highest level as our preferences will always differ (and that doesn't make Mr A right and Mr B wrong).

I have setup nothing less than 80 websites and have reviewed many others especially from web developers outside Nigeria. I have been asked by even software developers to stretch and even break codes they are developing by way of testing.

In reviewing any site I make my opinions known and send justifications which the person may agree or disagree with.

On your comments about dealing with clients, you are correct, many clients that are not bold enough to accept responsibility of what they know and what they don't know are shown the door in my office. I am a professional to the core.

I have said no to projects worth millions of naira because some of the projects won't fly and I do all I can to explain to the client, part of my job is to guide customers not just to collect money from them because I want clients that will grow and not people that will just spend 1 year online and disappear.

I have repeatedly told 419 people NO for requests to replicate bank websites for as much as N200,000.00 for something that won't take me 2 days maximum to do including everything you see on those sites, only that all correspondences will be going to a 419ner's email or database.

As a programmer I pay attention to details otherwise things won't work well. Do not be in a hurry to judge someone as everyone has a story to tell. Otherwise how would you miss out the fact that your own comments were implemented 100%?

Do have a great day. There is no benefit for anyone to be making enemies on a public forum, absolutely no need but we must realize that we all reserve the right to treat each other with respect.

xanadu:
Discussing the other day with a couple of colleagues, we went down the much-trodden path of defining exactly who a webmaster is.

It appears that here on Nairaland, the term Webmaster is sort of interchangeable with Web Designer/freelancer. In fact, some web hosts [/b]seem to put themselves in this category!

I thought I'd put the question to all and have a good old debate (and go back to my colleagues armed with the right definition!).

So: [b]Who is a Webmaster?

Is he the one who has created/designed a website, uploaded it on to the WWW and handed it all to the project owner?
Does the role of a Webmaster stop when design and uploading of web pages are complete?
Or does the Webmaster's role also include things like regular site maintenance, liaising with ISP or web host to ensure there is little or no downtime?
Does the Webmaster ensure that web pages are backed up, etc?

Can a freelance web designer be correctly referred to as a Webmaster?

Let's kick off with these definition links:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1306/is_5_67/ai_75090829
http://www.clickfire.com/viewpoints/articles/webmaster_become.php

Looking forward to your contribution!

I will go with the 2 lines in bold and in red.

If a freelance web designer does not handle the complete website from design to hosting and everything that has to do with the site functioning well then he/she cannot pass as a web master.

Put differently, a freelance web designer won't be held responsible if something goes wrong but a web master will be even if the web master over sees the duties of the different aspects of a typical website.

web_master:
Well am a web-programmer and i also don't have a personal website. Although i have a long list of sites that i have developed and i simply refer my clients to check them and its been working well for me. Personally i have not come to realize why i need a personal website.

Where is the long list of sites located? On the web? If yes, on another person's website?

In a word document? If yes, how can you show this to prospective clients if they needed to see the list? Do you sent it via email or do you print it out and take it to them?

None of these strategies is wrong in reality but it is a whole lot convenient for a prospective client to see your works at his/her own time, probably when you are not there as he/she will not be distracted by your explanations, cajoling etc.

And the question of time comes into play. Your website can be seen by say 1000 prospective clients within a space of 30 minutes whereas it will take you over 2 months to show 1000 prospective clients your list of websites.

somze:
Afam
You are myopic.
You are the only one here thats arrogant and proud.
This is not new as I've seen it on other sections of this forum.

There is a difference between perception of reality and reality.

Now that you have brought it up it is good to discuss it. The only contact I have ever had with the name somze was on the Politics section where you insulted and abused me for holding a different point of view on an issue. Yet, when you offered your criticisms on this thread I overlooked your previous insults, thanked you for your criticisms and I believe your criticisms about the header not being ok was taken 100% and implemented the same day.

somze:
Whether or not you do or do not take my advice is your business.
Who cares, did I ever force you to take any of my advice, I have never brought this up.

Of course, it is my business to take your advice or not to take it, however, I chose to take it completely because I agreed it made sense.

somze:
Your outrageous lies and sidelining of issues can not be overstated
Please quote a single place where I said you must take my advice
IF you lack common understanding of simple English I suggest you go back to kindergarten

Again, you are showing the world your level of comprehension of issues.

Since you decided to become the mouth piece of the lady that felt that her advices must be accepted 100% and resorted to insults when I agreed with some and disagreed with others you left me no choice than to lump the 2 of you together.

You may go back to any comments directed at you especially the portions I reproduced to understand why I respond to issues in kind.

somze:
My issue is your attitude to people that offered help,
You lack simple courtesy and manners.
I asked you if any changes have been made to the site earlier and you rudely told me to go and check the site.
Well its my fault for thinking you are a different individual in programming but I guess a leopard can never change its spots


You really are a woeful example to good behaviors.

About 5 different people offered help (as you put it), I thanked all of them (including harsh remarks and infact including your own, someone that has abused on on another section for having a different point of view) and implemented some of the comments while disagreeing with some.

Courtesy and manners, going by your comments I doubt if you really are in tune with what courtesy and manners entail.

My response to you to check the site was valid. You reviewed a website and passed comments. I thanked you for the comments and implemented them the same day or even in less than 3 hrs because they made sense. Now, after about 3 days you come to this same thread and you are asking me if I have effected the changes. Which is easier to do? To click on the same link that you clicked to see the site the day you reviewed it since you were online or to ask a question on a forum (that may take up to 12 hrs assuming I don't come to the forum)? Be honest with yourself about this.

Unfortunately, I am not here to influence in anyway how you think or how you do things.

The only reason why I don't bother myself at all with comments from people like you is that you fail to take a good look at issues, jump into conclusions without any analytical reasoning, abuse people (and hope never to be responded to in kind) and try to set your own standard as regards what is right or wrong.

The game is diversion and it won't work, that is why I take time to clarify every single issue to avoid confusion.

What more do you want when I thanked and respectfully accepted comments from everyone on this thread (including you that had insulted me for no reason on another section)?

The only crime according to people like you here is that everyone's advice must be taken otherwise one becomes rude and perhaps ungrateful.

Check your self and your thought process and change what you can change.

A team where almost everyone can effortlessly score goals is a team to respect.

Can compare these guys to those jumping from one place to the other in Chelsea (no be Clinton pikin name be dat?) or Man U (wey dey get AIG -Arsenal Is Good for jersey)?

This is pure football made in heaven, courtesy of Wenger and his boys.

* 90 FULL-TIME: A stunning display comes to an end; no-one has ever won a Champions League game by a greater margin, and Arsenal looked in a class apart.

* 88 GOAL! SEVEN! INCREDIBLE! [/b]Bentdner gilds the lilly as he latches on to Eboue's backheel before prodding a low shot under the keeper.

* 81 WALCOTT! Walcott is denied a hat-trick by a stunning save as he got on the end of a low cross from the right - then Rosicky cracks a shot against the bar on the rebound!

* 73 [b]ANOTHER SMART SAVE! Almunia won't get any plaudits tomorrow, but a second superb save from Vlcek will do his chances of keeping Lehmann on the bench for a while longer the power of good.

* 68 GOOD SAVE! [/b]Almunia has had nothing to do so far, but he shows he has remained alert with a sharp save from Belaid's low shot from the angle on the edge of the box.

* 62 A triple substitution from Wenger, who has the weekend's Premiership clash in mind; off goes Hleb, Flamini and Adebayor - on come Rosicky, Gilberto and Bendtner.

* 58 [b]DREAM FOOTBALL! [/b]Fabregas gets a sixth, capping a quite stunning break the full length of the field, as Hleb feeds Adebayor inside, he finds Walcott who prods a first-time pass in to the path of the Spaniard, bursting in to the area - the finish is assured, and the Gunners are on fire.

* 55 [b]HOLY MACKREL! [/b]Walcott adds a fifth - and what a goal too. The youngster ghosts past two challenges, bursts in to the penalty area before prodding past the keeper and in off the far post!

* 50 [b]GOAL! Brilliant from Hleb as he feigns a shot on his left foot before cutting back on to his right and firing a shot in at the near post. Four - and still 40 minutes to go,

* 49 Hleb takes a bit of a knock as he gives away a foul just inside his own half; he hobbles off, but I don't think there is any danger that he will want to come off - he has been very good tonight.

* 46 The second half is underway,

* 45 HALF-TIME: Party-time at the Emirates Stadium; the home side have been superb in the opening 45 minutes.

* 43 WIDE! Adebayor climbs head and shoulders above everyone to meet Fabregas' corner, but he heads wide from eight yards. He is disgusted with himself for not getting that on target.

* 41 GOAL! THEO! A horrific mistake from the keeper hands Walcott a first Champions League goal! Vaniak makes a hash of a pass-back which put him under pressure, and Walcott pounces to calmly slot in to the empty net from 25 yards!

* 40 Walcott and Hleb have been excellent so far this evening; they are tearing Slavia apart with their movement.

* 35 Krajcik cracks a left-foot shot from 25 yards after breaking down the flank and cutting in from the right; Almunia is well positioned at his near post to save.

* 29 GOOD SAVE! Fabregas releases Walcott down the left; he clips a cross in to the middle which Adebayor meets with a fine header - but Vaniak saves with his feet.

* 25 GOAL! Hleb latches on to a loose ball at a corner; his low drive from 10 yards on the angle goes through a crowd, hits the outstretched leg of Hubarek and in past the keeper at the near post!

* 24 Ivana smashes a right-foot effort from 20 yards over the crossbar; he holds his head in his hands as he walks away - the visitors are yet to test Almunia at all.

* 22 Slavia look fairly capable in possession; they knock the ball about well.

* 19 Adebayor could prehaps have done better with a header from 12 yards as he gets in front of his marker and on to a cross from the left.

* 14 Kalivoda flashes a shot from 20 yards just over the crossbar; Almunia would have been in trouble had that been a yard or so lower.

* 10 Adebayor is just off-side as he sprints on to a through-ball. A close one, certainly.

* 8 Eboue's low cross is just behind all three Arsenal players bursting into the penalty area. The crowd taunt Slavia with "Are you Tottenham in disguise?" Good one.

* 5 GOAL! Fabulous goal from the brillant Fabregas, cutting in from the left wing before curling a shot in to the top corner.

* 4 This is the visitors' 15th consecutive season in European football, of one sort or another, so they are no mugs at this level.

* 1 Off we go! Full house at the Emirates of this clash between two sides top of their respective domestic leagues,

A web designer should own a website either a personal one or a business own, nevertheless it doesn't sound right that you setup websites for people, knowing the many advantages of going online and yet not owning one.

A business website would even be better as personal websites are personal websites and serious businesses would rather visit a business website than a personal one.

Religious champions should focus their clamour for supremacy in the Religion Section and stop turning everything into a religious issue. People who don't even know their left from their right are here bragging about debating religion, wonders shall never end.

Flash in itself is a useful tool and very very cool when dealing with animations but again over use of flash or flash abuse is the problem.

The hammer can be used or abused by a carpenter.

Someone tried to show me something on a website he contributes actively to yesterday but the site couldn't come up. He looked at some other feature rich websites that come up in no time and was worried that there was certainly a problem with the one he wanted to show me.

While discussing with him he stated that there is this BMW animation on the main website that usually takes about 15 minutes to load and the question is this - how many people will sit in front of a computer to wait for 15 minutes for an animation to load unless there is a price reward like N10k?

Bottomline, he was being dazzled by the skills of a graphic designer to the detriment of the website the graphic designer is supposed help make useful and profitable.

The ability to look a paying client in the eye and say NO to a request based on sound professional advice is where the game is won and lost because if you fail to advice a client properly sooner or later the client will get that advice/education from someone else and when this happens be sure to lose that client for good.

somze:
Afam
You have to change o
Some one is helping you and you can't even act nice
Its very sad, I hope you are not this way in real life.
I refuse to comment further about your site because of the attitude you had.

I am not an actor so I don't believe in acting, I leave that for pretenders.

I asked for a review, I got them, agreed with some and disagreed with others. Is there a problem with that?

By all means keep your comments about the website to yourself, it is not compulsory for you to comment, it is optional and voluntary and I don't have to bow down to anything you say for you to feel good with yourself.

If someone tells you he is thirsty do you think the person does not have a right to refuse your offer of urine in place of water?

I do have an attitude and I am working on it but believe me people like you that even fail to realize their own problems are worse off.

So, thanks for the comments you provided in the past but don't even bother commenting ever again on any website I ask for comments on.

I receive suggestions and criticisms on my email from people and none has come with this level of arrogance and pride that is obviously affecting the 2 of you here.

May be you didn't notice, the website address and call for comments have been on my signature tag for about a week now so I am not restricting comments to people that visit the Webmaster's section.

Do have a great day and learn to work on your own attitude, it is not enough pointing out other people's attitudes, ok?

This I know it is the attitude of Nigerians for is responsible for the state of affairs in this country, everyone sees faults in others but will rather wage a war than admit a fault.

Salvage:
Afam, na wa for you o

Why are you going back and forth with this issue?

Seems to me like someone's ago has been bashed.

Its not a must that you should have the final say.

You are above such.

@onydchic

sis, no be by force say someone go take your advise so let it be girl and don't have the final say with afam on this.

Yes someone's ego has been bashed and it's certainly not mine, after all I was the person that asked for criticisms and there is no law that says I must accept all of them.

I hate it when people go about mis representing issues and lying about them just to prove a point.

You do not solve issues by avoiding them, you tackle them and move ahead.

I took some of her advice and rejected some, obviously it didn't go down well with her but that's her problem not mine. Arrogance and pride are 2 things that destory people no matter how good they are in what they do. Humility and honesty remain vital.

A slowpoke identified, any more morons?

Thanks for identifying yourself, next?

onydchic:
Pleeeeeeasee oooooo, i was going to let this be, but I don't appreciate being called a liar. I have nothing to prove by lying about your site. The last time I looked at your site before this afternoon was Friday afternoon. Are you going to tell me you havent changed it since then? Are you going to honestly say that your site was mostly black and white EVEN on Friday afternoon? When I reviewed it, the colours were composed of greys and reds and oranges, HENCE my post. And quite frankly I felt no need to look at it again till this afternoon, that's when I noticed you'd done something new to it. You said it yourself that you changed it 18 hrs ago, so what's your damage?!?!?

I'm not angry (but apparently you are, by the looks of it, oops), right now I'm just bored with this topic. Are u not tired? Ha.

Get your facts straight, and stop this juvenile throwing about of words.

Peace.

Not so fast. It is either you find it difficult to understand english or that you are being petty, either way you need to change for the better.

I called you a liar because you claimed that the website was recently changed and coming from someone that had offered a review I consider it a lie because most (if not all) of the changes I effected were carried out same day the reviews came. I didn't have to wait for days to implement what I could in a matter of minutes or hours.

There was never any RED color on that website, get your facts right and on this I can call you a liar yet again. In a bid to justify your unnecessary ourburst see how you are compounding issues for yourself.

I am not a mind reader neither am I a spirit so would not know that the last time you saw the site was on Friday before today so your justification for the wrong accusation still does not stand. Learn to base your comments on facts and truth not sentiments, pride and lies.

Angry? Going by our posts here it is obvious who is angry. Right now I am finding it difficult to believe that people still behave the way you do.

Trying to pretend that you know it all is both wrong and counter productive.

What is wrong in agreeing with some of your reviews and disagreeing with others? Are you now the final authority on web design issues or what?

Get this straight, I am not under any obligation to agree with anything you state here even though I appreciated your comments and even thanked you for them. In fact I even implemented changes based on them. What more do you want? I should agree with everything even when some of them don't make sense? Nope, never.

One more thing, I didn't say that I changed it 18 hrs ago, I stated that the last time I touched that website was 18hrs ago and touching the website may not mean redesigning the website. There are so many things one can do on a website apart from the design and for heaven's sake I have other projects that I handle.

Admitting your mistake and learning to tolerate other people's opinions will do you good.

Morons on rampage.

the same Nigeria that can't "restore law and order" in its own creeks?

the atomic bomb was not used to achieve peace but to defeat a belligerent aggressor who attacked US soil first.

Trying to join a discussion with your senseless diversions?

By the way inform your mentor that the party is full as morons like him are not welcome here.

Shiooo. It's ok o. I'm very sorry. I'm apparently the bad guy because I pointed out errors in the original site, and he didn't like it. My only real problem was the rude way he was replying people.
I never claimed to be a genius in graphics, I pointed out all that stuff BEFORE he recently changed it, so don't bite my head off.

You see what pride and arrogance can to do people?

So, you are now bothered about how rude I respond to people more than your own comments and outbursts?

You do not need to lie to prove a point. I clearly stated that I agreed with some of your comments and disagreed with others.

What is your problem? What do you mean pointing out the stuff BEFORE he recently changed it? Why make yourself look stupid on a public forum?

I took comments from everyone that responded and effected changes, obviously you are angry that all your recommendations were not taken 100% otherwise I see no reason why you should be getting angry at someone that thanked you and even implemented some of your recommendations.

At least I have not touched that site in anyway in the past 18 hrs. So it is easy to know the liar here.

Humility is key in life, you need it.

There is still time for you to change for the better.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of people that are experts on different things on discussion forums without putting those things into practice, real shame.

The day you will change eh, I'll think it was your sister doing the posting

Na wa o, I'm actually helping you here ok? I'm not getting paid and i'm not jobless. Get that in your head and we can move on

I'll click the link

I cannot change from good to bad.

I never claimed you were getting paid neither did I state that you were jobless. My post was straight to the point. You reviewed a site and after some days rather than check the site to see if the site effected changes you were asking if the changes have been effected.

i don't understand o.


Afam,
u realise you've got some attitude problems, right?

I think I agree with you that I have some attitude problems but yours is worse. You did a review, I agree with some and disagreed with others and you turn around to get angry. What does that make you? Someone without attitude problems or what?

onydchic:
I've given reviews to other people on this site, and i never got this kind of attitude. I don't care if you agree with all of my points, but your replies are bad. Like i said before, if you don't want the truth, why are you asking for it? You've managed to give lip to everyone that has tried to help you out. It's childish and ungrateful. Yes, your site is 'functional', WE GET IT. But are you the first person? There are 100s out there, and yours will never get far if it can't stand out. I'm very aware those sites I put up aren't entertainment sites, and i said so before. If you could get off your high horse for a moment, you would see that I was pointing you, however, to sites that had millions of users nonetheless, and got far on minimalist designs and high functionality. And that's the issue. I wanted you to take a cue from there. It doesn't have to be an enertainment site.

May be the people you've given your type of reviews agreed with everything you stated whether you were right or not, sorry, I am not that type. I do give reviews to websites too and even to foreigners so do not mistake my asking for review for not knowing what works and what doesn't work on the internet.

What is the truth? You jump from one issue to the other. Let me put it bluntly, you are aware of all the best ways to design a website and yet you have failed to implement any of them on your blogs, why? Are you comfortable with sub standard websites while advising others?

Make no mistake about it, I give as much as I take. I have treated your comments with respect and if you think that you can bulldoze your way into my accepting comments that are wrong then you better wake up from that sleep.

onydchic:
So please get over your pride, or whatever it is that's ailing you and stop attacking me, and everyone else for that matter.

I never attacked you, I usually respond to posts in kind.

Pride? If that was my problem I wouldn't ask for reviews. With my level of experience on the web and programming I could churn out code like mad without asking anyone for feedback.

However, I know that 2 heads are better than one, hence my decision to always ask for reviews for projects I set up but never for even a second think that I must accept all the feedback whether they make sense or not.

The problem we have in Nigeria is that we always want to advice people but almost never ready to accept advice.

My advice to you is this, before you accuse anyone of anything check whether you are the source of the problem because sometimes our attitudes will blind us to the extent that we only see faults of others while assuming that we are perfect.

If you cannot handle sincere comments then don't bother helping people with your advice.

somze:
have you made any changes to the site?

Considering the fact that you were one of those that offered criticisms I had thought your best route would be to check the site to confirm if changes have been effected or not.

So, saying YES or NO does not make sense as the link to the website is clear and functional.
