  1. Good job bro. I've been scrolling through some of these web designs here. You actually got my attention. Good design. I have a couple complaints however. Lol, sorry... don't use "Papyrus" typeface please. Way overused and doesn't fit your website. Top left corner "Obelisk". Take the time out of the title. I have my own watch. Take off the date. Other than that, I dig it.
  2. this cracks me up. why do people post these kinds of questions online? sure, go for, I just think it's dumb. Ask somone who is married. In person.
  3. Hey, Well your title really caught my interest to start, because I'm a Christian. I would assume you are one also. Here's a few things you could do to add something to this site.. - Make the whole thing around 800 - 600 px wide and center it. Reading content that is wide is often very hard. - For your links on the side, a rollover should always be lighter, not darker. It's highlighting it, so when it goes over it should light up, not darken. - Add more to your header. A header is really what draws a lot of interest. Add a photo that is somehow related, something soft. - Not sure if you can or can't, but I think you should change that maroon color, the grey is good. Overall, don't let the earlier comments get your confidence down, just keep going. Start with an idea and work with that, you'll be suprised what you can do the more time you put into something. If you want more help with this, I'd be glad to work with you. PM me. Nick index/index.php My Portfolio
  4. Hi, I'm making a forum right now, and i'm having some trouble with BBCodes. I want it so when they click a button it will add the bbcode and highlight (or place the cursor between) the code. Let me clarify, I want a button to be clicked, it adds code to the textarea and places the cursor between the tags. Example: [b] (cursor here) [/b][b] | [/b]The cursor is between the two tags. I REALLY appreciate it, i've search so long with no luck.
  5. hey all! I finally got the domain for this site and it's pretty much all up and ready.
  6. ok thanks so much for your help guys! much appreciated
  7. hey, i know the issue of time and date with php and just been posted. But honestly, i didn't get the answer i neeed. I'm building a user personalization website, and i need help with the time. It all get messed up because the server is in a diiferent time zone. Should i use gmdate() function? because i'm using date().All that said, whats the best way to use time and dates for like a forum in php?
  8. moldboy - thank you for the comment. but keep in mind, this is only a localhost site, for me. so i don't need to worry about load time, because it's reading it right off my hard drive. and your right, the blocks don't show anywhere else, thanks.
  9. I used a program called Blender cool open source 3D program. I'm a modeler too cangor: yes, but keep in mind this is a localhost, not a full website. If it was, i wouldn't leave it so open, but i have nothing else to display. lemonwonder: this is not a site is only a display.
  10. ahh! thanks, i can't believe i just did that! I have a header! just didn't upload it correctly! check it out now
  11. i love this site! one of the best i've seen on Xisto!
  12. it took a while for it to load, and i'm on cable. i can't imagin how long it would take on dial-up. your site is rather large. the images are all over the place. with this kind of site, you could leave the option of a "alternate design", this would be much more simple, for the users that don't really care about the layout. just an idea...
  13. well, after overwriting my original localhost website, i decided to build a new one. I began this two nights ago, and liked the end result, check it out: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ if any of you want this on your computer, i would be more then happy to give this to you. All you need is PHP5 and MySql installed and running. comment!
  14. I like it, well done. Very basic layout, but nice. Although i have one large problem. You used window xp's icons for almost all your buttons and icons. Please build your own.
  15. Decent, but I think you could make this site a bit better. 1. You really have no color scheme to this site. It?s mostly grey, white, and black. This dulls the site in my opinion. Grey, white, and black work well with other colors, but together they give a washed out, dull, feeling. That blue (the one you have for the nav-rollovers), for example, are a good color you could use. But we don?t see enough of it. 2. Your header is likewise a bit dull. Simple isn?t bad, but this is a bit mundane. Be innovative with your headers, think of crazy ideas, and you can clean it up after. My point, give your header a little more attention. In my opinion, a header really sets the mood of your site, make that vibrant, and if gives immediate life to your website. Also, your header repeats the page; you honestly don?t really need this. It is your preference I suppose, but you are repetitive in your header (you say: ?Links?, for example, on the header, then on the page again). This forces the browser to download each header for each page; I would recommend using the same header every page. 3. You have no footer. Please add something like: ?copyright Your Name year. Some rights reserved? to the bottom of your page, in the grey. Then, add all your links on a different line. Now I know this sounds like I?m degrading the value of your site. But this is not my intension. Your site is, honestly, better than a bunch I?ve seen. The three tips I gave you will knock up the style of this site greatly. Very nice work, keep going! oh, and how do you like the google add thing? i'm interested in that
