On the 1st day, I’ve been receiving about 150 visits from 15 different countries. I do not expect thousand of the internet users will be visiting my website. But this number will indicate how much that I need to work on.
So far, people have said that this is a great website, good job, smart, a worth waiting for, I never see anything like this before, professional, and many more. All praises be to God. Thank you for visiting my website.
However, there are few problems which I find critical when viewing my own website.
1. Connection: It demands broadband connection as it contains flash and a lot of graphics. Some of you might not realize this thing because you have a Broadband connection (e.g. average 10.0Mbps in UK). Despite in Malaysia, some of them are using dial-up connection which quite time consuming for the page to load. But 1.0Mbps would do.
2. Intro: The ‘intro’ of the website could also be one of the controversial issue. It is not a proper intro I guess, but it has its own value for me. You can find these people in my acknowledgment section. I dedicated this website to them for with them, I’ve been through the ups and downs since the last 7 years.
3. Graphic: I know it is very hard to please everyone. And I would like to quote what dee (mardhiah) told me. “In art, you don’t have the answer scheme”. Well, it’s true! I do search for top designers’ works and each of them have their own style which I call it identity; even if we don’t understand what is it. The reason is: what we do is ours! Do it for yourself! (Unless your client specify what do they want)
4. Inline frame: As some of you might notice that at the homepage (content of the page), there are scroll bar for you to scroll down for the contentSome might have problem viewing it (Anyone?) If not, I’m sticking with it.
5. Content: There are SO MANY grammatical and punctuation error in the content of the website. I can’t think much. I will rectify and fix it soon. Sorry for the ugly looking content. My bad~
P/S: Thank you, thank you and thank you to all visitors from United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Ireland, South Korea, Japan, India, Jordan, France, Singapore, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia and Egypt.
Regards,

1. Bandwidth
Your blog is not heavy at all. Most of my sites are roughly 3,4 times heavier. Havva look thru firebug. Graphic wise, your images takes only 113Kb (out of 137Kb!). Thats is really small. =)
2. Intro
Frankly, ‘Intro pages’ is the thing of the past. Few reasons. a. It is not search engine friendly. b. Hava look at your meta and contents for Intro pages, its not good for PR.
3. IFrames
By all means, avoid it.
4. Content
Dont fred lah, thats normal.

forgot to add another one.
5. Iklan
Avoid it. a. If you can be patient enuf to wait for the small daily cents to build up to merely RM50 in one year, go on. b. They slows your site down (particularly ones with JS). c. It turns your visitor away. d. For new site, concentrate on building up your reputation and loyal visitors first. When you start gaining 1000 uniques daily, its now time to add ads. However, adding or not, I strongly against it.

Thanks fuqaha.
Bandwidth: I believe it’s ok. But some of them told me that it’s too heavy which I believe quite weird. I told them to open my Flickr page. The same thing happen I guess. I assume there are some technical problems. Either their connection or luck. lol~
Intro: Owh. That is for few weeks. You will not see that anymore after this. It will straight away jump to the main page or at least a simple interface page. Just to collect some information.
IFrame: I strongly agree. I’m deciding to change it soon as I have a bad feeling about it even there’s no one comment one it. Thanks. *Sometimes we need to stick with our instinct.
Content: I will organize everything back again after my Autumn Semester Exam. Just an intro from me after about a year not doing anything
Ads: I shall never put it! I hate ads very much. That was a joke I had with my friend.
By the way, thanks a lot. Very much indeed.
