Chaosact... Trial and error web building.

[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.

[Shamisen]

Humm Interesting however you might want to make sure you have a copyright protection in place least your work wind up all over the net..

[Taiga]

(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.

Lessons here at quite reasonable rates.. I'll look into to it after I return from work..

[Taiga]

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.

[Kei]

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

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

[Taiga]

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 =<

All you have to do is post the license on the copyright page of your site. In your case, I would suggest an Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike License, or something similar.

Thaaankyou... now to work out how to add it. I can't actually find the button to switch to just script =|

EDIT: DONE!

Well I see you're licensed, had all your shots too...

Help is a post away :amismiling

[Taiga]

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.)

[Kei]

Hey... you use Chrome, you get burned.

Firefox forever! :flame

[Taiga]

Yeah... I shoved a theme on FF to counter the fail created in it by mt PC theme.

Been using it all day now.

[Kei]

So... do we have an ETA on this website? And will you post cosplay pics there? :cat_s :cat_st :cat_w

[Taiga]

1. No.

2. Quite probably.

[Kei]

If my limited Photoshop services can be of any help, just ask.

[Taiga]

If there's something I need doing and I'm stuch at my dad's... I may require a temporary measure for things, maybe. I'll keep the offer in mind. :p

[Taiga]

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.

[Shamisen]

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

[Kagami]

wordpress certainly has better themes and easily modified too, as long as your in the know with all that coding crap.
a friend and I have started up a blog there, beginning to get it moving...

[Taiga]

Heh. Currently waiting on a friend to find me the same host she uses. he friend pays for it, so she needs to ask him.

$9 a year ftw.

[Kagami]

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...

[Kei]

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?

[Taiga]

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.

[Kei]

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".

[Taiga]

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.

:p

[Taiga]

So I now have a domain name... http://chaosact.com

Nothing set up yet though. Gotta get it sorted out and all pretty like.

[QueenDireShot]

That's a rather cliché site name, aint it? It's good- but couldn't you have used something better?

[Taiga]

Eh? I like it! D:

Besides... if it were cliché, wouldn't it be taken already? :p

[Taiga]

Theme and banner sorted!

Also this one, my friend Fiona's site and my DA profile are linked now.
