Saraya,

You got a nasty reception here. I should point out that it is par for the course. If you were looking for a friendly board, look elsewhere. A lot of bigwigs (and a lot of vocal nobodys like me) post here. It is a great place to learn... but people generally won't be nice about it.

Part of the problem was you looked like you were spamming. The truth is, though 9 out of every 10 new people on the board do the same thing. Like you, they take some crap about it. Best thing to do is move on.

Then there is your site. It is really bad. There's no nice way to say it, but I don't say it to be mean. There are people on this board who can design you a premium site for a few hundred bucks. If you have the money, it's worth the investment. There are also people who can help you with the site you have, giving you some free advice. However, it is hard to walk someone through making a bad site into a good one.

My advice for you is to consider hiring someone like Fletch, Hungryman, or Set the World on Fire to make you a better site. It won't be cheap, but you will like the results, and so will your viewers. If you can't afford that, then my advice is to check out their portfolios, and some of the other sites linked from here. Compare what we do to what you've got... You can learn a lot just by paying attention to things like that. It's how I learned design. I'm no expert, but I do okay.

Good luck with it all. And don't take these assholes too seriously, they're mostly big cupcakes once you get to know them.

Ian
