I just brought it up on both Internet explorer and firefox. Not complete but there are messages from Renee, and some of her artwork. Great news with both Renee & Lucy now starting up their own sites and fanclubs.

When I first learned of it, there was nothing more than a 'coming soon' note on the main page. It's good to see that both of them finally have official sites, as every celebrity needs one, in my opinion.

It was delayed because of problems with the IE browser... which I believe they are still working on.  I learned that from the Q & A sessions at the bottom of a few of her auctions. That's also how I knew it was finally up.

What does that mean, "delayed because of problems with the IE browser"?  I sure hope they aren't using it to FTP.  |

They couldn't get the website to work properly in IE, so they delayed putting it up on the net until they had most of the kinks worked out.

See, this is just one of many reasons why I prefer to code everything myself instead of having some awful program like FrontPage do it for me, because I know what the code that I put in does, and knowing the code makes it much easier to troubleshoot. Quickly glancing at the source code, I can see a few things wrong with this one line alone: <link href="../Scapbook/NEWS%20BG%20left.gif" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> A .gif is not a stylesheet, the path is pointing to someplace below the root directory where the file should not exist, and the folder, "Scapbook," probably doesn't exist because Scrapbook is supposed to have an 'r' in it. A fourth potential problem that probably won't affect IE but may affect other browsers, is the use of spaces in the filenames, requiring the %20's you see in the above line. Also, I see that filenames are case-sensitive with the host they are using, so the webmaster is in for a world of headaches when she tries to determine where she used capital letters. For example: www.reneeoconnorfanclub.com/Nav%20bar%20SCRAPBOOK2.jpgand www.reneeoconnorfanclub.com/nav%20bar%20scrapbook2.jpgare not the same. The second one will give you a 'file not found' even though they look like the same url. On the bright side, the HTML Validator only turned up 17 errors, which is very minimal compared to many other sites. This is why business is slow for web developers and so many sites on the internet are sub-par. Not that Reneé's site doesn't look nice, because it does look good (judging by the main page, since I haven't visited any of the others), and there are many out there that are in much worse shape. But too many people think they can build a site correctly, or they trust someone else who says (and may even believe) they can do it, rather than paying somebody who has spent enough time learning all the ins and outs and knows how to do it right. But eh, nobody asked me.  |

I've also noticed sites hotlinking her images too, so she's going to have a major problem with paying too much for bandwidth that others are stealing from her.

Lucy's website has the 'design' issues as well. It looks horrible in high and low resolutions... <G>

About ROCs site bandwidth....
It depends on what plan she was with GoDaddy (who's her hosting service). I just looked, they offer 200 gigs of bandwidth a month on their lowend package. That's a lot of bandwidth to fool around with. Granted, it's still not right for an individual to use "bandwdith" they're not paying for.

She should use .htaccess to keep that from happening, since a lot of people don't understand why it's wrong and others just don't care. My preference is to replace a hotlinked image with an advertisement for the site, saying "Visit whatever.com".
It also requires QuickTime, which I don't have and don't plan on downloading.

The quicktime is just Lucy's eyes looking at you.

That just sounds kinda spooky.  Do they follow your cursor like that jack o'lantern I put up last Halloween using gif's and javascript? |

Well, I have quicktime and it makes no difference.
It's just the design, which apparently is going to be changing by the end of next week.

Call me old fashioned, but I like to avoid making people download stuff whenever possible. Isn't flash more common than Quicktime? Because that effect could be done just as easily with flash. Of course, making it a gif wouldn't require any special software to view it, but the flash would be much quicker to load than a gif in this case.
But if they're changing the design, that doesn't really matter anymore.
