Chaosact... Trial and error web building.

Post by Taiga »

This is what I have to start with:

http://pandemonia.webs.com/index.htm

It's just being built on the freewebs site currently, but I'll install dreamweaver or somesuch and do my own layouts etc eventually. (Actually rather soon, no doubt as the way it's done on the site is irritating as hell. I'd rather work with a BLANK slate, like you used to have it, thankyou freewebs.)

I plan to just post random crap on it and I'll update this topic when there's anything of interest.

If I post anything NSFW it'll be in a section of it's own, so it's safe.

(Maikeru, I deleted your post as it was essentially spam. If you reply, please make it worth reading.)

Indeed. I intend to do so, but wouldn't really know how to go about it.

Sweet :3

I'll have to look into getting dreamweaver or something very soon... the builder on the page uses it's own css and it's awkward as hell.

So you wanted something a little more in-depth than myspace, eh?

I hate editing CSS... it's too difficult to figure out. :flame

No, that's why i went to facebook.

I want something where the rules are mine to make and break. Something where I can do anything without having other stuff suggested and thrown at me all the time.

on another note... http://www.myspace.com/icicles_and_stars

i did all the code for my myspace :p

Unfortunatelyy they changed something about the base and it's a bit broken =<

I need to find the page for simply editing the css before i do anything else.

To add any more to the page you have to add a content box... which looks nasty.

(Ugh... had to use FF to post, not Chrome. Was so sure I fixed that.)

Ok, so I decided the style was ugly as sin... I'm moving across to a wordpress-based site too. Far less hassle to do anything.

Ugly as sin seems to describe the latest offerings ..
The people who design these packages must be either very depressed or bored as hell..

what would you get for your $9? I really like the idea of working on a website, but you need a group of friends to support it as well, as a community based thing, because the hard fact is that there are millions of blogger websites out there probably talking about the same topics. A group interest and contribution will sustain the site until, hopefully, people from the outside start taking notice. Assuming that you have something to draw them in...

Actually, that's a good point. If you're just looking for somewhere to post photos and write about yourself, you might be better of starting a blog. If you want to make a forum, there are plenty of free forum websites available. What is your goal behind creating a website?

Ew... 'post photos and write about yourself?'

Nowai... i'm not trying to make my own personal myspace.

Imma use it for art and stuffs. Personally the doman name itself (which'll be an awesome thing to have...it'll be so satisfying) is probably worth the $9 a year.

If it's just for art, wouldn't it be better to just stick with your DeviantArt account? You can use SheezyArt for the stuff that gets deleted for copyright reasons...

I guess it all depends on what you mean by "and stuff".

Does it really matter what it is?

It's only $9 a year... that's dust compared to what i spend on random crap I'll be done with in an hour.

That's a rather cliché site name, aint it? It's good- but couldn't you have used something better?
Never the less, nothing more.
