You've shown me yours

Now I’ll show you mine.

New site design, that is. :slight_smile:

My site’s only been up for a month or so, but I’m bored with it already. Plus I wanted to make a Flash version anyway. Sooo, I’ve been doodling recently to come up with a new idea. Similar colour scheme and that to the current one, but I’ve been seduced by pixel fonts and scrolly boxes and stuff.

It’s just a gif file at the moment, as I don’t even know whether I’m going with this direction or not, but if people would like to point out any glaring errors etc, then please feel free. :slight_smile:

I’ve done it for 1024 screen res. Hopefully it should fir on 800 as well, at least horixontally…

I like it :slight_smile: The header is very shaggadelic.

Agreed…

The pixel fonts used is a bit hard on my eyes though, but if this layout was done in Photoshop, that font probably won’t work in Flash anyways :x

Yeah, it’s a Photoshop job. :slight_smile: I love that ickle pixel font, but you’re right, I don’t think it works in Flash. Rats. :sure:

I suppose if I can find a font that looks similar, a bit bigger and that works with Flash… :stuck_out_tongue:

www.fontsforflash.com

www.orgdot.com/aliasfonts

www.superlooper.de

Check those out, they got lots of interesting fonts.

Looks good. colors fit, banner is definitely cool, font may be a little small, but it’s ok nonetheless, but is this gonna be an actual website or a photogallery of your website?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Good idea, thanks. :slight_smile:

I think I’ve been lured into the pixel font thing. :slight_smile: I just love the way they look, sooo sexy. :beam:

I’m really pleased with that banner as well, the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. :slight_smile:

My major stumbling block atthe moment is that I’ve worked out this great bit of code for doing a shoutbox and all kinds of funky stuff, but my hosting company doesn’t support PHP on their servers yet. ****it! :angry:

They said they’re planning to support it ‘soon’. But that could be anything really, let’s face it. :sure:

Thor - it will be a properly working website eventually. :slight_smile: If I decide to go with this layout, of course. :stuck_out_tongue: For now it’s just doodles…

I desperately need to make a website. I have so much to tell the world :frowning:

It’s been 4 years since my last one, but it was so bad it was unbelievable (4 radial filled circles as buttons that made a sound on rollOver, which in turn brought up some text for the site; and that was it). :frowning:

Everytime I start making one I end up experimenting with some feature on the potential site (i’ve made pretty patterns and mousetrails with menus) :frowning:

My server (from school) doesn’t support any server-side except SSI, so PHP is out of the way :angry:

I never stick to a single idea and I always scrap ones I’ve worked too hard on :frowning:

Wow Kit :slight_smile: The site looks great - the header is excellent!

10

Why do you think I have been working on my site for over 6 months now???

We all have that problem. Eventually you will come up with something you like and want to stick with… just keep at it =)

11

that’s why I end up treating my own site like a clients… I make a plan, and stick to it, try to get it done as quickly as quality allows…

otherwise, I would never have a site up…

Rev

12

I’m with all of you - I come up with one idea and think it’s cool, then 5 minutes later there’s something else I’ve thought of and the old idea gets abandoned. :sure: That’s why it took six years to get the current site up. :stuck_out_tongue:

[SIZE=1]Thor - how did you manage to get the word ‘*****’ to show up and not get killed by the CensorBots??? :q:[/SIZE]

13

Kit…

b[i**][**/i]itch

It splits up the word so regEXP can’t find it and censor it.

We shouldn’t do that though, because peoples firewalls can still sometimes find it and block the site :x

14

kit >> edit my post :wink:

rev >> that’s not a bad idea, thanks :thumb:

lost >> i think my main problem is, i am my own worst critic. i think i’ll stick with ideas regardless of how i feel about them. :evil:

thor << get back to work.

15

Everyones their own worst critic!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

16

Ahhhh… I never even thought of that. :slight_smile: Not that I particularly want to run round cursing, more idle curiosity. :slight_smile:

Right, 6pm, time for me to get my train home for the evening.

Toodles… :beam:

17

So kit, where can we go to log-in and view the you know, ‘personal’ picture shots? :wink:

18

They’re going to be behind password protection. :stuck_out_tongue: Been working on a Flash password-y login thing as it happens…

Actually, there is going to be a ‘protected’ area, so who knows what gets put in there… :sure:

19

Kit… I created a password login completely in Flash for my xml news login.

It takes the character code of each letter and combines it into one long string, then when you enter the password it parses the password you type and converts each character into its character code and puts it in one long string and checks if that long string matches the long string of your actual password.

Here is the encoder so you can see what I mean…
http://www.lostinbeta.com/flashSite/passwordEncoder.html

Field 1 is the actual password you want to be encoded, Field 2 is the encoded version.

Then in the flash script is something like…

–parse entered password script–
realPassword = “enrypted password”
if (parsed entered password == realPassword) {
//do this
}

If you want me to set up an actual working example of the script for you I will do that :slight_smile:

Of course, there are more secure ways with PHP :blush: But I suck at that stuff (for now…)

20

You’re all one step ahead of me, aren’t you? :slight_smile: This looks really interesting… Probably a lot more secure (and better coded) than what I’ve written. Mine just stores the password in a variable and masks the input that the user types in so *'s appear instead. There’s no encoding attached anywhere… You’ve made me realise I really ought to do that. :slight_smile:

Perhaps a combination of the two… :bad:

Rats, knew I should have brought the files home with me. Still, something to do at work tomorrow perhaps. :slight_smile:

I guess I could do this with PHP… I’ve got myself a shoutbox nicely coded for when the web server will accept it, but I guess I kinda wanted this to be a mainly Flash / AS built site. :sure:
