The new new new new new Worlds Site!

1

Yeah, well, so I wanted to try to re-build my Worlds Site for the umpteenth time… and [size=4]here[/size] is what I’ve got so far.
Not much yet, I know, but I wanted to get some insight / ideas before I got too far into the layout, and screwed it all up. In case you can’t tell, the news box is dynamically generated using PHP and mySQL. I’m very, very pleased with myself, since I just taught myself how to do that! :beam:
Anyway, the page will be able to display the 5 most recent entries, sorted by date, and the rest will be displayed on a “old news” page.
Any ideas/comments?

I think it’s a good start but…

The image up top looks pretty cool. Although I would make the characters a bit bigger, they look pretty small to me.

The purple in the header image and the green below do not go together.

I’d like to see it again when you’re further along though!

3

Should I make the green lines purple? Or how should I remedy that problem? What if I add more purple to the layout, like the links, or something…

4

The two just contrast too much for my tastes. I would like to see purple for it, or maybe even blue? Something to go with the image you have up top because it’s so dominating right now.

5

the image at the top takes forever to load even on bb

and is it a template? why does it say insert menu here?

and yeah… work on the colors…

other than that nice start

6

'cause I haven’t made the menu yet… :wink:
Nope, no template, I just haven’t gotten to that part yet…
Yeah, methinks I shall have to reduce the file size of the top image…
Okay, I think I’ll make the line/box colors a dark blue-violet, and see how it turns out… thanks

I like ur artwork, and worlds is a very cool name- I know u didnt ask opinions about it but oh well…:P- as bp said the image takes forever to load and the characters should be bigger

8

is it jsut me, but there is no link?

It’s just you. Click ‘here’ right after the elpises in his first sentence.

:hugegrin:

180k is a big image.

Purple and Green are complimentary colors so they don’t look too bad together.

13

Though every time I looked at my site, I kept hearing “I looove you… you loooove meee…”
And I would cringe internally… :stuck_out_tongue:
Anyway, fixed the colors… dunno if they look better, or not, and I shrunk the image down to 46k - My server is my computer, so there was no lag on my end…I wasn’t paying attention. :stuck_out_tongue:
Well? Any better? :beam:

14

much better with the new colors, but now the picture is blurry! Since the people got bigger, they are pixalated now!

Good start,

I just fixed that. I remade the whole image, and it looks a lot better :smiley:

16

Yeah when they’re together but with all the black on the page it’s an eyesore.

17

Okay… running into a strange problem…
My table is not working right… for some reason my left border is way wider than the right… it’s supposed to be 1px wide…
my code looks something like this:


 <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="725">
     <td background="imgs/titlebar_left.gif" width="7"><img src="imgs/spacer.gif" height="25" width="7"></div>
	 </td>
     
	 <td colspan="2" align="right" valign="bottom" background="imgs/titlebar.gif" width="711"><span class="date">[2004-08-06]</span><span class="title">
		Welcome!		</span>	 </td>
	 <td colspan="2" background="imgs/titlebar_right.gif" width="7"><img src="imgs/spacer.gif" height="25" width="7"></td>
       
  </tr>
  <tr>

    <td bgcolor="#333333" width="711"><div class="content"> <p>Welcome to the brand new <i>Official Worlds RPG Site</i>!!  Enjoy!

</table>

And here’s what I end up with:

18

the image looks much better now! maybe only center the image

Cant help u with the table but looks good the way it is…

19

peace

Well, I’ve been <i>slowly</i> working on the site… I had to move recently, so everything has been chaotic… anyway, I’ve added some cool PHP script, which I figured out on my own how to do… :beam:
Take a look - suggestions welcome! :smiley:
