OK, so here's the deal. I bought a fairly easy to understand book today on how to build your own website. I have always said to myself that I should try and teach myself some basic web designing as a hobby since I spend a lot of the time at my PC anyway I am a bit of a n00b at all this so it may take a very long time in making HaHa Anyhoo, I was thinking of starting off my Web Building career with a site about my favourite show of all time. Its one of the things I love the most so why not? ? Anyway, the book says I should always plan out what content and such I need first so this is where I need your help guys I was planning on making it more of a Shield Tribute site than a site to discuss it(sure we have this site to come to ) . So, if you wanted a Shield Tribute site, what kind of content would you want on it? Please, any advice at all will be great. Thanks

Do you plan to focus on all the characters? The main characters? Specifics ones? Extras? Guest stars? Focus on the plot of the show? Storylines? ...There are PLENTY of areas you could go into. Definitely plan the layout first too - AKA know where the links/buttons will be and where the information will show up. And make sure you can expand on this if you want to add anything more to them. Pictures are always a plus, but it depends on how much space/bandwidth you have for the site. If you don't have room, link them if you can - NOT hotlink, but just the URL to where the original pictures are. www.shieldlexicon.com/ is an AWESOME all-around Shield site that covers many areas of the show. You may want to check them out to get an idea of what to include on yours. Definitely post the link when you have it set up! ;D Also, an AWESOME program for building websites is Macromedia Dreamweaver MX.

Great, thanks for the support Yeah I plan on doing some stuff on a lot on the cast with a lot of details on on each episode, such as writers, directors and even guest actors. Hopefully with plenty of pics too on each episode if I can . I want this site to haveold Shield fans go to occasionally and also for newbies who want to find out more about this great show. Im really looking forward to this tbh, might take a while but meh, I'll make it work I'll post a link as soon as its available

Some things I might find interesting on a shield site: All the people that have been on 'The Shield' and on '24'. There are tons. Trivia/games that die-hard fans would know. Not necessarily things like an actors name (even a big fan like me doesn't look up the real name of someone thats in 1 episode), more like story line trivia. Web polls. Interesting to see who's favorite episode is also yours. (Dragonchasers) Most hated characters and so on. Maybe a monthly or weekly web poll. Latest 'Shield' news, updated often. Like which actors are now doing what show/movie. Links to cast interviews where they talk abot working on the shield. Updates on where and when the re-runs on. (SpikeTV dropped the shield a few weeks ago, only on the WB now) I am a web programmer if you need any help or have questions. My site is www.couchmanagers.com/football
