Hey guys,

Ok i did something really silly, when i got my domain name i for got to put in (www.) Im woth hostgator, is there any way to fix this?

It doesnt seem to be a huge problem though because when i put in the (www.) it still brings you to my site.....

Here have a look, this is my site. Im new to this, only started a few days ago, let me know what you guys think.



www.the-fight-site.com

You don't actually register the www - just yoursite.com (or .net or whatever). It's fine.

I moved this to the Site Reviews section because you asked for comments and this section is more appropriate...

OK, nothing much jumps out at me except that I might have blended the header image a little more gently.

Obviously, you still need to add content in various places, but I think it looks OK.

You won't have any copyright issues with your entries, though, will you? I mean, you haven't just copied them from somewhere and pasted them in?

Same with images...

I did with some of them but gave credit at the bottom of the article.... is that ok? I thought it would be ok if i linked the source?

And as for the images, I dont have any rights to them but I cant see how i can find pics that are ok to use... I mean most websites like mine are stacked with pictures and i doubt they have all the rights...

And yes i see what you mean about the header, might touch it up.

Some people will be fine with you doing that - others will be livid and could demand that you remove it, or even take legal action. Always best to ask permission first where there is doubt.

It will likely be less of a problem where you have the opening paragraphs of an article, then the continued at so-and-so links at the bottom, but again I would check to be sure if in doubt.

I agree, a lot of sites out there won't have permission to use the images they are using, but that wouldn't hold up if it's you they decided to come after for using them, too.

It's one of those, do I, don't I things, isn't it? But if asking meant that all you needed was a 'photos courtesy of...' type link, it would be worth doing.

But if you do use them without permission, I would ceretainly credit the copyright owners anyway. But be careful - some images have a definite useage price and if you haven't paid it, you could end up with a serious problem on your hands. Not saying you will, but it's possible...

Thanks for the replys Alan,

I see what you mean, I will ask around before using articals, its not worth the risk.

Same for photos, i would have no problem putting courtisy of..... But its often hard to track down the original source of the photo at all, but i will take your advice on board and try.
