Which of my webpages do you like the most? servey!

I would like to ask bloggers to check out these three links of my webpage templates over a 2 year period. I would like to know if I should go back to my older template (which is by no means out of date) just not updated to current. I quite that template because I thought I could achieve something more, there is just something about “Ian’s Personal Webspace v4 that I can’t surpass. While Renegade Viking’s Awesome Webpage v5.0 is more awesome. You might realize that my latest template is modified for a 1280x960 resolution. Please change your resolution. I thought Renegade Viking’s Webpage 2004 was somewhat cool in my opinion, not the best (not the worst I created) because it has the curviness which was most inventive, but it was off centered I thought.

Link 1: Ian’s Personal Webspace v4 (2nd template of 2003)
http://www.geocities...alkers101/start.html

Pros
• Pretty JPEG menu bars
• 2 Javascript Nav Bar
• Everything is written on one page
• New Feature: tag board
• New Feature: instant messenger auto open
• Matrix green themed background
• 100% online. All my work with this template is online, not deleted.
• Has Ian’s RPG Guild – my RPG gaming pages with some of my favorite RPGS
• Gaming Reviews (very updated)
• Editorials working.

Cons

• Each HTML page without graphics is about 110 KB each (takes up sever space)
• I stopped my blog updates October 1, 2003
• With graphics expect to download 300KB. of graphics, IE5 will load graphics from temp folder to make it load faster the 2nd time)
• Photo Gallery doesn’t work

Link 2: Renegade Viking’s Webspace v5 (template 5 of 2004)
http://www.geocities...01/v2004e_index.html

Pros
• Everything is updated on one page that ever changes
• Much, Much easier to update and less time consuming
• Nice background?
• 100% text links, no unneeded graphics
• Most current information on myself except for a BIO
• Game list
• Most current software
• New feature: Software updates
• New Feature: Site Updates
• New Feature: Scrolling ad banners using java script
• Super Model Banner (I like hot women on my website)

Cons
• Not as nice looking as v4.0 overall Although I do like the background more than any enhancement on my webpage
• It seems that I’ve been force to conserve server space by putting information on html that loads in mini windows. Loading times improved, but readability as gotten worst. I weighed what I gained from what I lost using this.
• Doesn’t look as nice as v4.0

Link 3 : Renegade Viking’s Webpage (template 4 of 2004)
http://www.geocities...01/v2004d_index.html

• Pros:
• Rounded boards
• Automatically has information that I used in v2004 template 2
• Has super model Heidi Klum on it
• Links
• Good attempt to make a good page
• Had potential in I only worked with it more

Cons

• Looks buggy
• Graphics look out of place
• Uses smaller windows for information not quite used property. I thought this was cutting edge because it looked great on state-of-the-art webpages
