Alright all, I've uploaded this template for a trial & error testing period and I would like some input on the live version of this template and how the scripting responds to different browsers, as I only work with IE and Mozilla Firefox... Just remember that the page this is located on is still under construction and a lot of the links still do not work yet. Please, visit: This Page For the Trial & Error test page for this template and give me feedback on how the template looks within your browser. Thanks in advance...

First; thanks for all the replies and the comments on my new template. I will shortly have it available from my site. I'm still working on the scripting part of it at the moment. Then I will be adding it to my website so others can get it for their use. It is very sad when a pet dies, especially from an illness that could be prevented if people would start looking more into cures for pet diseases like they do human diseases. As for my dog, Ebbie. The illness she had we couldn't figure out if it was genetic or if she contracted it somehow, simply because the vet had no idea what it was she had in the first place. The details of the disease are a bit on the graphic side, so I wont really go into it. But she apparently was dealing with this disease for the better part of a year and we had no clue. It didn't show any symptoms and she didn't seem to be too bothered by it. When she did start showing signs of being sick, the disease was spread to far to have been able to stop, even if we knew what it was. The vet's guess as to what it was, was that it was some sort of skin cancer or skin eating bacteria. He couldn't precisely figure it out. When he put her down, he logged it as a mystery illness with no known cure or treatment.

Hey all, I've just finished my first free, personal template and thought that I would post a sample of it for you all to see. This specific design is dedicated to my long-time friend Ebby (my dog) who had to be put to sleep because of a unknown skin disease that was slowly killing her. She was the best dog I have ever known and loved. I will always remember and miss her. This is my way of giving her something, even if she cannot enjoy it herself. here it is: click to enlarge Let me know what you guys think..

Yet another update I thought you all would be interested in knowing about. I've recently added a new section to my site called "Resources." Within that section there are subsections directing and informing others of resource sites for various webdesigner tools and scripts and also were I will be posting future tutorials and tips & tricks for some simple website tricks. I've also stated that this section requires visitor support for the simple fact that others may or may not know some sites available on the web that would be a good source of information for new webmasters/mistresses or even experienced ones who are looking for a good site to use as references. Hope you all stop by, take a look and let me know how it's starting out. Input is, as I mentioned above, very important to this section of my site and all of your input is more than welcome.

I have 50 invites available for anyone who wants one, just send me and email to my gmail account at devion.sb AT gmail DOT com and I will be more than happy to send you an invite.

Well, I've updated my website just a bit. There is still not much in the way of content at the moment, which I explain in the news article on the front page. But I have added an 'About' and 'Contact' page so that my visitors will learn more about what my website is all about and if they have comments, suggestions, and/or questions pertaining to my site or myself they have a why to get a hold of me. Let me know what you all think of the navigation.. Took me a while to decide how I wanted to do it.

Yes, the margin at the top of the page was intended to be there. I don't particularly care when the edges of my designs are at the exact top of the page. I like a little space between my graphics and the actual chrome of the browser. As for the 800x600 res problem. I had already mentioned that this design was not intended to be viewed in such a small resolution. I design for the higher resolutions, simply because I refuse to work in an 800x600 resolution. But, for those that still use this resolution, I may, mind you that's a big may, decide to reformat my site so that the 800x600 screen res. can view the site properly...

Well, if you are still interested, making one cell a certain colour is simple enough, just put the background property in the td or th tag for that cell. As for your website and it being done. That is entirely up to you. We are just commenting, whether you take our advice or you decide to go your own way is your choice. I'm quite surprised actually that you changed so much on your site because of the comments posted here. But, I suppose if your site is ment to please the public, it's a good thing you took everyone's advice into consideration. By the way, what happened to the $ signs you had with the title, I thought it was a rather cute design. But if you want any further assistance with scripting or anything, send me a line at: devion.sb AT gmail DOT com. I would be more than happy to help out where I can.

What, precisely, is the link for? I know of the world wide consortium. Is there a reason you felt I needed reminding?

If you want the background to scroll with the page, you would need to make that background the background for the table you use to hold your text and not as the main page background. I would suggest getting the hex code for the colour and using a background colour rather than an image.. It loads faster at any rate.

Hate to be the one to burst your "happy bubble," cause you've been working hard to make your site decent to look at. But whatever image you are using for the background is repeating.. This makes it very hard to figure your site out.. You should probably put a "no repeat" rule into your script... Since you don't use css I would suggest that you put bgproperties="fixed" into the body tag for you pages.

My design was not ment for an 800x600 screen resolution. None of my designs will be made for such a small space. When I create the entrance page, this will be stated and hopefully understood. I do not design for sites below 1024x768 true color. I can't stand how large it makes everything look and it bugs my eyes, so I don't bother with it, even though a lot of people still use that resolution. Those wanting their system in an 800x600 res will just have to deal with the disadvantages that come with it. Anyone with a higher setting than this will see my site correctly and shouldn't run into any visability problems.

Not to sound cruel or anything. But if you have your own website, shouldn't you be able to create the graphics for it yourself? I can understand running out of ideas for something, but not making effort to create your own graphics is somewhat mind-boggling to me for a webmaster/mistress. Are you looking for ideas for a banner or are you trying to get some webmaster/mistress to take the time to create a banner for your website, which you should be able to do yourself? Again, I don't mean this to be a cruel statement. I'm just wondering what the point is of having a website if you use other peoples materials and not your own...

Hey all, Just thought I would put my new layout up for review. At this moment, there is no content to my site. I wanted to get some feedback on the layout before I started puting up content on my pages. By the way, the little catch phrase for my site "Look inside and find..." is supposed to be a fun add-lib sort of thing.. Put a word at the end of the sentence describing my site as it stand now... The link to my site is in my sig, that way I wont have to try and update you guys on the link...

The overall appearance of the image is fabulous. I don't care for the text in the center of the image though. I think you should just delete that and leave everything else as-is. I actually saved this image to use for my desktop background. As I said, it's very good. Just needs a bit of tweaking here and there and it will be awesome. First thing you should do is get rid of that text in the center and replace it with something that actually fits into the image.
