  1. Thanks for the ratings! Keep em coming guys!I plan to make more within the next day or so.. I haven't made any for about 2 months now. Those are all my newest ones, but they're still old-ish.
  2. That's right, pretty much down the point of it all. Better bestfriends than not friends at all.
  3. Well, tell me what you think, and rate out of 5. Thanks. That's a few of them. Haha... Yeah, rate!
  4. It may not seem like a whole hell of a lot coming from me, but the best to look at a situation like this, is to know that you'll wake up in the morning.I know I'm usually filled with insightful knowledge when it comes to relationships and dating, etc... But no one can give you advice on how to handle a break up. The best advice I can give, or anyone for that matter, is to just keep looking up...Sorry for your loss all the same.
  5. Pretty much, just ask her to hang out. Use those exact words. Tell her that you're not looking for anything right now, and that you just want a friend, someone you can talk to and be around. Tell her you need a friend like that because you can't count on your guy friends to do that, because they're guys.So pretty much, here's the dialogue:A: "Hey, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I would like to hang out sometimes."B: "I told you, I want to be careful. I'm not looking for a relationship or anything right now..."A: "I know, but neither am I. I just want someone I can be around and talk to that won't think I'm *BLEEP* for opening and venting sometimes, and with you I think I can do that."B: "I just don't want this to get complicated."A: "It won't be. We're just friends and we both know that."More or less, that's how it'll go. It should go over fine, I'd think. Just ensure that she knows you don't have any intention. And if she does start to like you during the next few months, good job. If she says you're her bestfriend and that she can tell you everything... Don't take that as an invitation to ask her out, unless she tells you she likes you.Fair warning.
  6. Awesome!Thanks man. That's great. I'm sure you've just pleased quite a few people with that post, lol.So there you have it. How to make a dropdown menu.
  7. My cousin's fianc? is a graphic / web design, and he just bought a new 2006 Pontiac in cash. It was like, $24,000 or something and he wanted it, so he bought it.I guess some of them can make really good money. He does web design for 3 different security companies, and he updates them, etc...He didn't go to school for anything. He just does it because he's good at it.
  8. You'd have to style it to automatically drop down. MouseOver should do it, I'd think. Example: onMouseOver = etc... I'm not 100% sure how to do it, exactly so I don't think I could be beneficial to you. I used to know most of it. Perhaps reading up on a tutorial or two will help. I'll PM you if I find one.
  9. The font on the main page is kind of big. I'd think maybe a smaller font with Verdana or Tahoma would be nice.I don't think it's a bad little site, at all. It has potential, as far as I can tell. You just need to liven it up a tad. Everything on it is really big. Perhaps size it down just a little bit.Hope this helps at all.
  10. I strongly suggest that you read my post in this topic: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/44926-growing-friendship-or-jealousy-please-help/ Go over the topic if you have to, but it pretty much nails the problem with "Best friends" dating. I've been there, so I'm sharing my view on it. Trust me, read my post and decide for yourself what you should do... But, look at the consequences I mention.
  11. Worst move you could have made.I'm posting this not only so you know that you made an error, but so people can learn by example.When a girl tells you you're her bestfriend and that she can tell you anything, she means it. Guys get attached more easily when shown affection, because they're not being looked at by girls all day, like girls being checked out by guys.You should NEVER question a girls motive, reason, choices, etc... on a subject like this, because it will ruin everything, at least for a while.Why? I'll put it this way. When you become the "bestfriend", you've told her (although sometimes indirectly) that you'll always be there for her, no matter what. She appreciates that and most likely will tell you that she never wants to hurt you, etc. This now rules you out of the possibility of a relationship because most don't last too long during the teen age.Well why's it weird now? Simply put, she knows now that you have feelings for her, and she knows that she doesn't have mutual feelings. You've pretty much told her that "Aside from what I've told you, I'm just like every other guy."When you told her how you felt, she might have taken it as you being over protective, or of a jealous nature. Both are turns offs to girls.How can I fix this? Talk to her. It might take sometime, maybe a few months, but it's still salvageable. If she cares about you at all, it'll be fine.Lesson learned? I hope so.
  12. You may also want to check out:http://apycom.com/ They have a few decent horizontal and vertical menus.
  13. You have two choices, it seems.1) You spend more time with her. Hang out when she wants you to. When the timing is right, ask her nicely, ALONE, and than hope for the best. 2) Do absolutely nothing and just be close friends, which sometimes leads to life-long friends, and those don't come around very often.So you can make a choice, either give it a shot and see where it goes (Who knows, you might marry the girl!).. or do nothing and have the possibility of a "Lifelong Friend". Either way, you win. Friendship should be chrished as much as companionship should be. Friends, REAL friends, are hard to come by.Good luck with your choices.
  14. I'm in the situation you're in, although I'm 19 and she's 23.I've been waiting a year for this girl, and it seems I'll be waiting another one. We've talked about getting together, etc... but nothing said "in the future, maybe." She tell me sometimes that we'll both find someone and such. It does suck, but all you can do is wait for her.If you really do care about her, you'll be happy with whoever she ends up with, even if it's not you. You're 14. You've got tons of time ahead of you. At 14 and 15, chances you'll marry her 1 in 100, maybe less. Why give yourself a reason to be upset when the relationship ends 2 months down the road?I've been victim of that, trust me.But, I'll say it again. If you care, you'll wait.
  15. Congradualtions.I hope that you have given yourself a pat on the back. It's not easy telling someone how you feel. I'm in a mess of my own and I do wish it would change, but that's a different story. The point is, saying what you want is never easy, but you have to remember the saying:"The best things in life are never free."Take the time and applaud yourself. You got you prize.
  16. You could try:http://apycom.com/ If you wanted to do your own, you'd need a fair bit knowledge on HTML/CSS and JavaScript. I'm sure they can be completely scripted without Java, but it might be a little easier to use a bit of it.I used to like menus like that, but I find that sometimes they're just annoying. I'll probably end up using one again soon on my newer designs. We'll see how it goes!
  17. Stealing is wrong, no matter what form it is done in or why.I do think, though, that if you have tried to contact a website's administrator and asked their permission, but they did not get back to you, if you CLEARLY state where that content was obtained, it might be somewhat excusable.I have heard that ebaumsworld steals their content, but I don't think there's actual proof confirming that they did. Falacy? Perhaps..
  18. I figured as much.I wasn't expecting to hear different than what was posted, but I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it, I guess. As a side "career" it would be okay, I'm sure. I'm not sure what I want to do for an ACTUAL career, but I guess I'll find out when I get there.
  19. We just talked about this today in computer class.There really isn't anything that Windows Vista has that Mac doesn't. It seems to me that Microsoft has been looking over the shoulder of Macintosh and taking every one of their ideas.Ah well I'll still use Windows, but I'll stick to XP.
  20. Theoretically, it should work.There might be a complication with Internet Explorer, but that's expected when using code like that. I figure by using a completely graphical menu, you save the risk of browser complications.
  21. No problem. If you ever want someone to give input on how a site is looking, just message me. I'd be glad to give my input and little pointers. I'm not a professional, but I've been doing it long enough to know what's what.
  22. Well, if you pay the $300 for DW, use it. However, if you're running off the trial, or have a pirated version, don't worry about switching to a new program, because either way, you won't be out any money.I do agree that the usability of a site is very important, but if it's not coded right, the site might be broken in some browsers, which is why it's nice to be able to code aswell as design.
  23. Well done.I'm sure most people now are moving on to the graphical menus that they can create in photoshop and just slice up, but it's always nice to see someone code their own.I like to do that, although I have to admit, my latest site has a graphical menu. The look of it is just more filling for the site.Nice job, though!
  24. Great tutorial!I can honestly say that I never took the time to think of the work involved in those things. Honestly, never cared to because they're annoying. However, seeing how they're made kinda makes me appreciate it.Again, great tutorial. Perhaps you'll have more coming in the future? We'll see, I guess.
  25. Not bad at all.The two WoW sites that are done in Flash are pretty cool. You DO need to choose your font carefully though. I noticed on the second WoW page, your font wasn't a very good choice. Also, becareful about clashing colors. It's the small things that steer people away from websites.I'm not too good with Flash, I can't do sites in flash yet. Yours are coming along nicely. Good work.
