hey i have a website now for my artwork,cartography, and campaigns (plus a bunch of other random shit)@ www.thewingedchronicles.net
the forums are comin' soon
please go check it out and comment back to me at my email: so-keher@thewingedchronicles.net
Thanks all!
All the links to the individual sub-pages - cartography, art, etc. - lead to blank pages.
GAH! Get on meebo!
ok the page sare fine they are just blan kso that is not longer a problem
the real problem is the template itself.
i made it in photoshop and slice dit meaning there is not adaptability for coding whatsoever. if i sent someone a copy of another template is it possible they could code it for me (expanding content, etc.) or would that be too much to ask? i am apawn to those who know html ;P
seriously even snippet sof code are useful
Yes, I can help. Now if you'd get on meebo, I could talk to you!

sorry but now that i look at it i porbably shouldnt, my parents are against these things and would get and take my computer away (wish i could say that would be the first time that happenned). You should have seen them when they found i was on Gaia Online. Ouch. SO yeah, don't wnat to step over the line.
thanks but no it would be against my household ethos to get on meebo
any other way?
EDIT: Ok i totally just Fckd sumething up on my site.oops. lol. i am such a noob.
And they're not opposed to a forum?
[spoiler=Profanity]I could say FUCK here whenever, but they're not opposed to that?[/spoiler]
Yeah I guess, I use this mostly for my campaign though so that is why.
That is so bogus. If you are allowed to discuss you campaign publicly, there should be no restriction on discussing web-design (that might just get you a commission) publicly! It's bleepin' hypocritical!
Wow. To think that some people are afraid of communication. It's pure fascism, simple as that. An IM is no more than a phone call. A forum is no more than a bulletin board. A chat room is no more than a bulletin board that is updated in real time. Pure fascism.
tell me about it why don't we just discuss it here?
Aside from the idealogical necessity to throw off the oppressive reigns of tyranny? Manly because by the time I'm finished typing this, you'll have replied to my last post and then we'll have me talking about a pot that is no longer the subject and it gets all confusing. It also spams the Dragon's Den and requires more in-depth, harder instruction because I have no live feedback.
erm...ok *baffled*
*sigh* Because it's harder.
What did you want again? A template? Uhg. There are many problems with templates. The largest of which is that they are very rarely dynamic. I could code you a template, but to truly have a nice site, you'd do best with a format that works well for everyone regardless of resolution, text size or size of content.
I wanted to design a page in photoshop and then code it. SO basically, a coded page with my own graphics. Is that possible?
Erm, yes. Your current page is testament to that. However, there are a few warnings I feel obliged to hand out:
1) Don't make it too flashy. A reader should feel calm when viewing a website. Pretty is good, bright and garish is bad.
2) Make sure you can stretch or extend the template vertically. A good example of this is my Phaedoras page, which has a "sliver" image that extends down the left side.
3) Keep space for future content. Adds, extra areas, whatever. You never know what the future might bring.
So i want simple, square content boxes with open space below, all borders (side) and background graphix should be stretchable as well. Would you nee dme to slice the image and everything or just leav eit as a graphic?
Well, wait. You want me to make your page? ARG! This would be so much easier if I had IM. Do you live in Oregon, by chance? I might just want to call you. :P
Heh, I never thought I'd be saying this on a forum, but: "brb, I'm going to get some food."
BTW: Your parents are facists. :P
Yes I would love it if you could cod eit for me. I want to make the graphix though, I like doin that a lot. I am workin gon one right now (not original but it fits all of the criteria mentioned above, plus i like it.
Alright, here's the deal, I don't make webpages for free. However, if you want, I can do a demo page with a image you give me, no charge. Just email me the image you want turned into a site (raelifin@gmail.com) and I'll do what I can. The image should have a sliver that will wrap vertically. It may or may not have a bottom.
In addition to that, an outline of what you want and where would be nice.
Cool ty very much. Wrap vertically is the same thing as stretch right? lol excuse my ignorance in this subject
Yes. Though streching implies that the same material will be spread over an increased area and thus lose quality. Wraping would be a repeating pattern.
Alright that clears some stuff up. SO far the content box and bg have that property so everything should be fine (they arent even very detailed, straight lines)
When you get done with the image, send me an IM. :P I don't obsess over my email.
I have not read this entire thread yet, but I do have some advice for you. Learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) (http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/). It's the closest thing you can get to using templates that actually makes sense. For some pure awesomeness, check out CSS Zen Garden (http://www.csszengarden.com/). I can help a bit, and brainface could help a lot (but ask politely, and be prepared for him to say "no," he's pretty busy on many other projects).
So, how is that image going? I am going on vacation on saturday, so I'll need it soon if you want help before September.
Raelefin I'm gonna check out the CSS stuff and see if i can learn a little myself (thx bvrainface) i will im you if i get desperate again tho. thx!
Okay. I'll see how it's going in September. :)
Good Luck,
