Responding to your comment on my site:
One thing to note is it almost seems like you have two navigational bars at the top (one above the other) but they lead to different places. I like how the flash nav bar has turned out but maybe you can improve upon that concept with your javascript know-how and flash.
I’m not sure if it’s possible, but if you kept the actual page (everything under the nav bar) in a table or something. Then when you click a part on the nav bar it could open up a tree sort of thing underneath it, which is that section. It’ll also load the page (through javascript) in the window to show the page. And you can continue through the nav bar or the page. If you catch my drift.
Then again, I may be over-complicating this and over-thinking.
You probably are.
Let me make sure I understand. You're saying that when you click on a button and go to a page, that page should have tabs specific to it? I thought about doing that, and my site does something like that too (well, it will once it goes live). There are some variables in WP that I can use to do that (that's how I got your current page to turn blue in the nav bar), although I'm not sure what I could put under some things. Although I could probably make something work.
Or were you saying that when you click a button, the tabs should change and you could click on the page you want there (and the nav buttons wouldn't take you anywhere), sortof like an unfolding menu? That's not a bad idea either, although it would take some tricker Javascript stuff. Not a bad idea, though.
Or I missed the point completely and didn't even come close to discussing what you were trying to say.

Well, I was thinking of that unfolding menu thing. Sorta. But then that does sounds a little complicated. The tabs changing when you move from page to page sounds easier to implement.
My original idea was utilizing flash, you'll have a nav bar at the top. The actual page contents will be in a table/box or something. When clicking on a button in the nav bar, a new set of tabs would appear underneath (with a line or something so it's easy to trace the path) and using javascript it'd load the contents of the chosen page in the table/box. So you won't have to load whole pages. If you know what I mean.

It's not a bad idea, that's what I did on one of the early versions of my site, although using frames or AJAX to load the contents would mean you would constantly stay on "http://andrewanimation.biz/games". If you wanted to bookmark a page or send it to someone, you would just get the homepage. It makes sense in theory, and might look good on display, but brings up problems like that.
I'll see what I can do with the tabs, to set something up like that.

Really? That's pretty impressive. I think the website as it is, is pretty much fine in all respects. You just need some more content to flesh out the site a little.

Yeah, content. Like.....a game would be nice. I'm working on it, we'll have a demo out eventually (but I said that back at the beginning of December, so...
)

Haha, game development takes time. Especially if you want a good, unbroken game. All good devs understand this.

True, i'm just a lazy perfectionist like that.
I did some more thinking about it, and I'm not sure what page-specific tabs I could add. The site's pretty bare right now, and that's why I couldn't think of any good stuff to put under tabs in the beginning. On a specific post, I was thinking of putting "Post Comments" and "Post RSS" tabs, but I couldn't think of anything special for most of the pages. Any suggestions?

That's a good point. But I guess you don't need different tabs for every different page. Maybe some sections are (as of now) just one page.
Oh and btw, don't you have a Contact page? The contact tab leads to an error.

Maybe if I extended the 'Games List' page to a different page for each game, I could do tabs for that, but everything else is just a single page.
And the contact page....yeah that's linked to a page on my main site that doesn't exist yet, so it just gives an error right now. I have a WordPress page for contacting, so I just need to change the Flash header.

That could work, yea. I'm just unsure how easy it would be to add new game tabs later on. If it's easy to do, then go ahead. The last thing you want to do is make it a chore to update your website when you put on a new game.
Haha, I figured. It links to an error page for the server of your old website. Why'd you even link it to a page that doesn't exist? XD

Well, it exists on my hard drive, and my new site is technically ready to launch, but I'm going to be working with someone to make the text a bit more readable. I thought the two sites would launch at the same time, hence the dead link.
I dunno about the games. I might do that, I might not.

Well, makes sense I guess. Simultaneous launch.
And about the games, it's up to you really. Whatever's the most convenient to you.
