Very nice! Just a couple of observations:

On the page http://www.crossfireinternational.com/Home%20Page.htm the word "Brotherhood" is misspelled. Some of the images are not displayed original size (the image with the spelling error just noted) and this distorts the image making them look pixilated when they really aren't. The intro is really, really long - but it's sorta cool too!!! Keep the navigation bar available on all pages - it gets confusing when you go to any page and suddenly the nav menu is gone. Now, I realize it's early days for this site but, hey, you asked for feedback!!!

And a question: Is the signup form live in that it sends a notification to SennaSpirit or is that still in development? I'm looking forward to joining!!!

What you don't like "brootherhood"... thought i was onto something...

Da[r]n Adobe no spell check...

Fixed It...

Site was originally intended for ease of member registrations...

Hopefully better graphics to come... The intro was done with a flash creator... Scroll down for "skip intro" button...

As a former web developer and someone who has worked in printing/publishing for some 20 years, when someone asks me to look something over ("all input is welcome") I give an honest assessment of errors I find. It's sort of in my blood now but I do try hard not to "slam" anyone. It's also easier to correct errors early on rather than wait until something is almost finished only to find it's a freakin' mess. Trust me, that's no fun at all!!

Very nice indeed, should go a long way in raising visibility of the club. I especially like the black coupe in Andrew's rearview mirror in the intro and as a backdrop for the application, I just wish you could see the big grins on our faces I am honored and very proud. As I am sure +fireamx is in the Alabaster coupe.

Don't worry about me getting "slammed"...

As long as it is civil and constructive and in the best interest of XFi - all input is welcomed... Jerks, as always, will be ignored... So far, all I see is welcomed advice... Mike-in-Orange your input is most encouraged based upon your previous experience.

But everybody needs to remember: yesterday we didn't have a website and today we do...

This is my first wack at web publishing and I have already learned that this will be a flash site - with the look and feel of the intro, rather than the choppy nature of the Home_Page following it... Flash sites are sooo smooth...


When we are comfortable with what's published; we can list the site in various search engines...

This web package also came with a number of 10 mb web-mail addresses, ie. yourname@crossfireinternational.com

So, everyone be nice and maybe you will be rewarded with one... ;-)

Nice and I like the initiative. The intro is kind of long but really cool, so I would live it as is. I will put a link to it in the XFi group page I created on Car Domain

Have you coordinated with Dave (senaspirit) how it will feed him the applications? He should make this a sticky under the XFi forum.

Simply fantastic. The concept. The introduction. The application. The presentation. LMK if I can be of any assistance. Great job.
