Thanks guys.

YOU CAN DO IT! -thumbs up-

I plan to start a yorkie site someday. The internet is becoming more and more important as a means to pick a pet, learn to care for one, etc.

Hey Rob

I am a little late in posting.....we took a look at your site tonight.

My kids LOVE your funny and cute hamster video, we did have a giggle.

A question, the Hamster taking a bath might put people off. When I saw it
I thought that Hamsters don't like getting wet...then I read some of the comments on youtube. Wouldn't want that to hurt your site

Rob · #24 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 07:16 AM

Thanks for your comments, I'm a bit unsure what video you are reffering too, you are right hamsters don't enjoy getting wet and I'll be pretty shocked if I've put it on my site!!

Anyway thanks for spotting it if its there!

Rob,

Hey Rob

After you watch the 2nd video on yr website homepage it gives you a selection
of videos to choose underneath. It links you to youtube..........I am so glad that it wasn't something that you wanted us to see!

Rob · #26 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 08:06 AM

Ah, thats actually external by other youtubers themselvers, I'l contact Youtube about it see if you can get rid of the "related videos" selection at the end of the videos.

Thanks for picking it up once again

Wow! Nice site! I really like the banner a lot.

The whole site looks very professional.

2 very minor things:

1. On your forums page, you have a topic called Hamster pictures. In the description for what that is, you have, "Caught your small FREIND on camera, feel free to give us a preview!" - You might want to correct that.

2. Instead of using Google custom search, you might want to use Google Adsense for search to add some additional revenue!

- Ad placement looks good!

Some technical considerations for complete browser compatibility:

1. Right outside of your heading tag, you have a style element. You should move this inside your <head></head> nodes. Or better yet - move this into your style.css file. However, you might want to consider getting rid of the style1 class and your <span> tags and simply saying something like:

#header ul li a {color: #FFF}

This should accomplish the same thing as your style1 class, but without the extra span tags and CSS class.

2. Line 45, Col 8 in your <script> tag, you should make sure that you have <script type="text/javascript"> instead of simply <script>

Aside from that, everything looks AWESOME!

Keep it up!

Hey Rob, It's really simple to get rid of related videos on your YouTube video....at youtube where ur video is at, you will see the word CUSTOMIZE...open that link and click on "Don't include related videos" then use that embeded code...and re-load back on to ur site. related section should be gone

Hope this helps

Bob

Thanks Jaress, Bob

Jaress:

Custom search engine is so much more efficient and uses Ajax I love it, and if you look at the bottom it has embedded ads on it anyway just like an adsense search.

Thanks for the html pick-ups and typos I get a bit muddled some times when I'm writing it all out.

Bob: Thanks for showing me, can't believe I missed that when i was getting the embedding code.

Awesome! I guess I didn't realize that Custom Search had ads on it. Good to know!
