Vintage Fairy My blog thingy

Hey VintageFairy.com is my personnal domain which I use for my blog.

It's not new but it's not old either it's just one of those in betweeny websites that like some people like and some people hate.

Anyways I think the layout is O.K and I like it, but what do you think? It's a bit messed up in Internet Explorer...but it's still viewable.

It's a bit hectic and whack but I like it that way. Oh and the source code..umm well it's not al valid

 

Please tell me what you think. I need to know what other people think...besides those other girlies with blogs...

 

btw I don't really do the whole graphics thing..I prefer making layouts and css code and stuff.

I like it. I like that the interface is simple and powerfull. The graphics are great too!

It's a bit messed up in Internet Explorer...but it's still viewable.

who needs internet explorer? :)Good job! Cheers!

where is the option:What is it? and How did I get here?other than that It is nice, it is original, it is you!

It's the best professionally designed website from a younger person I've ever seen. I think I made my comment regarding your site long time ago--my jaw dropping and cannot compose myself...etcIf I didn't know your age, I swear I would've thought that it came from a large company who hired team of designers to compile professional yet trendy site. You say you don't do graphics, but what about the graphics you use it for the background? Are they edited by you? I've seen your past designed and they are all FRESH--very clean cut and undisturbing yet still holds anchor to the whole layout of the page.By the way, your current site doesn't sit long enough for me to see. It redirects to http://forums.xisto.com/ page. Are you blocking my IP???

That is a very good site. I would never have the patience to make a site like that. Great job! One of the best sites I have seen here at Xisto.

It would help if you made the layout less confusing. Towards the bottom of the entry, you have a pile of links and then some random text areas with link-me images. If you organized them in bordered div layers, you might be able to look past all of it.Your site actually has 99 errors when validating, and your CSS has a couple more. Most of them involve you not listing a font family in your font: tag. You should put something like "sans-serif" or "serif" behind it, judging on the family. I like the color scheme - it's similar to mine, but the images beyond the header are kind of grouped together. It's almost like there's no seperation between the content and the navigation. Speaking of the navigation, the links are scattered in several places. Try to organize them better.The overall layout isn't bad at all. You've done a lot of work on the basic WP template. Nice job

Hmm...hey I remember that you once had your layout stolen. So watch out. Anyways I like it. Though the blotches in the blocks are little to strong for me. Maybe make them smaller or lessen the amount. Lol, the text was so small my eyes started hurting after a while. Oh, and does ezyrewards really work?

Hey Um I know most of the CSS and Coding is really messed and bad..heh I can't help it. When I change one thing other things get ruined, so I just leave it.@BuffaloHELP I may have blocked an IP similar to yours...as I get A LOT of spam, sorry.The only thing that I did was draw out the simple lines of the persons face and add a few swipes brushes and text..I wouldn't really call that graphics. @Biscuit I put all that stuff on the bottom because it's out of the way and no one really see's it. Um the font thing? I don't understand, can you help me please?? :DAlso I know the menu at the top is kinda crap, is that what you're talking about?? That and the site name is actually my handwriting .yes ezyrewards does...I haven't used it before, but I need it! Ask Rejected...And the text isn't small on my computer...maybe the font is dodgy or different resolutioned moniter.

Hmm..what res you using Becca? I am using 1024 x 768 running IE. I tried it in Firefox and the text was a bit bigger. Maybe its just me, because I am glasses wearer.<<(glasses wearer? my english sux) Other than that I love the hot pink, too bad my team won't allow it as a color for our T-Shirts .[No i am not gay for liking pink]

my res is the same as yours and I run FIREFOX at home..but I'm on vacation atm and this computer only has IE, and yeh the text is minute on IE. Ialso made the background O.K for larger browsers because my mate told me it was messed on his screen ages ago, lol.{only true men wear pink:)}

When you list fonts in your CSS for say...your body tag or whatever, make sure you add the family name. Arial, Helvetica, Verdana and a few others belong to the san-serif family so you would put that at the end. In code, it would look something like this:

body {font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica (list more if you want), san-serif;}

The serif on fonts is the little swirly end on some of the letters. You'll notice that Arial and Verdana look extremely plain when compared to Times New Roman or Sylfaen. It's because Arial and Verdana don't have the little serif and the others do, so those other fonts would be "serif" fonts. That's my mini lesson for now!

Anyways, I love your handwriting! I don't have a working scanner so I can't get my handwriting online without trying to replicate it in Photoshop, which is a pain since I'm a little bit more unsteady with my mouse. But that's great work on your header. I can never draw a realistic face outline sideways - only head-on.

<3

go me. I totally validated the CSS yaha did as you said.. VOILA
Except there's a slight problem with the uh html well php whatever it is...

Result: Failed validation, 964 errors 

Oh yeh.... got a long sorting out eh...

Lol 1080 errors. The reason why you're getting all those errors is because xhtml must be written in lower-case and open tags such as <img> and <br> must have a forward slash before the >.

 

When you started the body tag you spelt it boy instead. If you want no margins on the page, you shouldn't use the marginleft, marginright, margintop and marginbottom attributes, use css instead it's safer. To do this add:

 

margin-left: 0px;margin-top: 0px;margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;

under the body { } part of your css document.

 

Whenever you use the script tag, remember to specify the langauge your writing in (language="javascript" for example) and the type of code that's being written (type="text/javascript" for example).

 

That should clear up a few hundred, I've found that sometime certain errors cause other errors, so if you fix them they should sort out some others

meh I can't be bothered to validate everything... :huh:anyways I was going to post a new post but found my old one... I have a new layout it's still got some errors and the lay ut loads really weird in firefox because its in tables.

nice new layout. A bit differernt from the style ya normally do. I love the vector graphics too (or at least i'm pretty sure they r vectors )y dont u hav a theme choose where the user cna select which style they want, becoz you seem to hav a new layout design every couple months lolbut anyways, ncie work
