After that whole new myspace navigation fiasco, I've completely lost interest in making new myspace content. I had to get rid of at least seventy layouts because they couldn't be fixed by simply hiding the new navigation. I could probably fix them somehow, but I'm not going to waste my time.
I think I might take my site in a slightly new direction. I said I was going to awhile back, but this time, I mean it. The first thing I need to get worked out is the issue with my server. After that, I'm going remodel-crazy. I'm even thinking about changing the name of the site. I've hated the current name since a month after I picked it. I'm trying to come up with something that sounds like tiramisu but has different consonants. Someone gave me the name tyrannamisu, which I really like. Two others I've thought of are pirmilu and miratisu. Any other suggestions? I want it to be short, sweet and to the point.
I'm also working on making more "artsy" graphics. I've been trying out a bunch of new vectoring techniques. Here's the first thing I've made: click. I'm planning on turning it into a layout for my site as soon as figure out what I want to change the name to.
Sorry for the super long entry. I actually have more to say, but I'll spare you. :D
I'm in the process of trying to get my layouts to look right again. I think my small defaults are goners, and those nice little "style six" layouts I just made will have to be MIA for awhile.
Thank you myspace for putting a halt to all my other website plans. That new navigation bar was definately necessary. :)
Love,
Gabi
Edit: Here's a check list of what I have fixed and what I still need to work on:
Divs: Navbar hidden, ad still showing. Perfect. :)
Style Six: Still a little part of the navbar showing...They look alright though.
Style Five: They look different, but not bad.
Style Two: I wish the navbar was transparent, but whatever.
Style One: Fine. A few hide the ad, but I'll work on it.
Styles Three and Four: I might have to toss those completely. Their design involved the nav bar, and I'm not really sure if they're worth the time it will take to redo them.
Edit II: New layout. I've been working on it for awhile, but I was just able to finish it. There are still a few kinks I'm working out, though.
I'm officially on summer break. It's only been two days and I don't know what to do with myself. I've already come to the conclusion that I'm going to gain forty pounds and possibly double the amount of content on my site over the next three months. The latter would be nice, but hopefully my metabolism is good to me.
I did start on a doll maker, but my doll looked like a butchy alien. I really love doll makers, but I'm not sure if my visitors will be too crazy about it. Should I bother starting over or ditch the idea completely? I personally would start over, but if no one else likes the idea, why bother?
I'm also working on a set of tutorials that explains exactly how to put together a stylesheet and all that good stuff. It's harder than I thought. I try to tell people to just use my method: Mess with layout codes until you figure out what does what and how to set things up. Unfortunately, people are impatient. In these tutorials I explain almost every property and what to do with it. It's a pain, but hopefully people will find it useful.
As for updates, there some new icons, small defaults, and divs. I'll post the divs, but the rest you'll have to look for. I made a second Twilight div. This time it has the movie people. I also made a Guitar Hero div. :)
Twilight: Preview - Code
Guitar Hero: Preview - Code
So that's it. :D
