My website: Any suggestions?

[spdcbr]

So I should change the header?

Wow, you *are* a genius.

ROFL! My stomach hurts...

 

[Rubikgenius]

Umm.. Okay

I changed the header

You haven't changed the title

 

[Rubikgenius]

Yes, i have

I get an "invalid Token" when I try to vote for "I can solve it in under 15 second every time". Are you trying to suggest that it is invalid if someone claims they can solve it in under 15 seconds?

 

[Rubikgenius]

Oh, it is a glitch. I will try to fix it.

Thanks for finding it though

Try to fix it? there is no try, according to your sig

Burned.

 

[Rubikgenius]

I fixed it. And yes there is no try according to me, my bad

mm the website is boring.

 

[Rubikgenius]

mm the website is boring.

Ummm... That is not nice at all, and I don't think it is boring. It is supposed to be helpful to cubers

Well, I know you put a lot of work into it, but I think the content is very limited and websites such as CubeStation, CubeFreak, and the Speedsolving.com Wiki are much more informative and useful to new cubers. Your website has a nice layout, but I think new cubers wouldn't get much useful information out of it.

 

[Rubikgenius]

Okay, I will try to beef it up in the summer break. I don't have time write now

I find your tutorials to be OK, but a bit rushed, which makes them difficult for beginners to comprehend. Here's an example

So now we flip the cube so that the white side is on the bottom. To solve the second layer we need to put in the 4 middle layer edges. First things first, find an edge piece that belongs to the middle layer. Belongs to the middle layer means it does not have yellow on it. Found it? Now look at the color of the edge piece that is not facing up. By using the U moves connect the not facing top color with its center.

At this stage you should have completed the Bottom Layer. On this page you will learn how to solve the Middle layer using a simple procedure, thus enabling you to complete the First 2 Layers, or F2L as it is known in cubing jargon.

The middle layer contains edges which do not have the top layer colour (in this case Yellow). So the first thing you have to do is search for edges in the U layer (the top layer), which do not have stickers of the top colour. If there are no suitable edges in the U layer, see further on for dealing with edges trapped in the Middle layer. Next, turn the U-layer to match the colour around the side of the U-layer with the same colour centre (in the diagrams this is the red sticker). Then use the following steps to solve them!

Dan Harris also provides an animation so the people who do not fully understand the notation can see exactly how it works on a real cube.

heh, no offense, i was joking =P

one thing: too wordy. at least try to separate huge chunks of text into smaller paragraphs, that would make people more interested to continue reading. XD

I think everyone complaining here are morons, every attempt to a new cubing website is better then nothing in my opinion.
For the website to make sucess I think you need to put some more special information on the website that you can't find anywhere else, it's prob not so easy thou.

 

[spdcbr]

I don't like the layyout. It should be more exciting than that.

Thanks, I will put written articles about the 2x2, 2x2 blindfolded, 4x4 blindfolded, and 5x5 blindfolded in the summer, though. It is going to be extremely difficult though, because 4x4 Blindfolded is not easy to do or explain.

spdcbr: "I don't like the layyout. It should be more exciting than that."

@spcbr: First, please correct your spelling. The layout is fine, I don't want to make it too complicated so that people would need a Phd to navigate through the website. Everything is one-click away, for now, but when I put more articles,it won't be that way anymore

rachmaninovian:"one thing: too wordy. at least try to separate huge chunks of text into smaller paragraphs, that would make people more interested to continue reading. XD"

@rachmaniovian: Yeah that is somewhat true.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Have you ever done 4x4 blindfolded or 5x5 blindfolded?

 

[Rubikgenius]

Well....

I have gotten really close to solving the 4x4 Bld like 2 times. I was off by like 2 centers and a couple of edges. I will get better though
