New Year, New Toys, Same Old Ramblings

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 9, 2009, 2:13 PM

------



A new year calls for a new CSS! So here's yet another of my amateur ventures into the CSS world, helped along by taking codes of ¢mynti's and `Lilyas's as my templates and running loose XD Go check them out, mynti especially has some very easy to manipulate codes, and lilyas's are just wonderful. I would've kept one as is, but I wanted to keep the same color scheme throughout LoT. And boxes <3 I've always wanted them, now I finally sat down and actually made them for myself XD

Anyway, the features boxes will obviously be updated whenever I update my journal. The LoT:SE box will also be updated as I link the most recent fanart I've recieved and then add a few random ones from the previous list.

Anyway! Hope everyone's holidays were very enjoyable :3 I tend to break my new year's resolutions, buuut I'm going to make a conscious effort this year to post more art on DA XD As I'm also planning to attend multiple cons, possibly even go for a table at some of them, more art is good and will probably be a given. Maybe even colored XD I had that handy meme filled out for 2008, too, but the file is not on this computer and, honestly, I don't think it's worthwhile enough to go looking for. Just my useless rambling, and you guys are getting plenty of that right now 8D

I've also injected color into my gallery, with the help of a CSS code by `Elandria, and my once again amateur-ish stumbling around with its editing. Yep, I'm really trying to take full advantage of my sub, and it's fun :3 I fully recommend you guys to give it a try as well, just by editing CSS codes to fit my wanted look I've already learned a lot. Maybe not enough to start writing my own from scratch, but I'll get there. I'm proud to say modifying the boxes of `Lilyas's Think Pink [link] CSS, getting new images and new colors and all, only took me about 8 hours. Still a little rough around the edges here and there, but I'm happy with it. And it was definitely worth it!

But you guys tell me! Is this new layout hurting your eyes or offensive to your brains in some way? I've been staring at it for quite some time, so I daresay I'm used to it already. (Also, should I make the title a yellow color as well? I kinda like it dark, but yellow would go with the theme...)

The bad thing about boxes is now I feel I must end on a very conclusive note, to tie in the content of this entire section before moving to the next one. And I'm not very good at those, so this will have to do. XD Remember, please keep informing me of any LoT fanart or any OC contests currently holding auditions or taking place. :3 I'm sniffing around on the market for something to enter myself sometime soon, so it'd be a very big help!

The yellow bars cover up text, art, and stamps... ^^; Making it hard to read. But other than that, cute! ^^

8D;;; What yellow bars? Ahahaha. I don't see any XD;;;

Out of curiosity, what browser are you using? Like so many fancy DA things nowadays, this looks best in Firefox, maybe that's why I see it working fine, and you don't? Hmmm. Conundrum, this shall have to be solved and fixed as much as I can fix it XD

Yeah, I still use IE, so that's probably why. XD They're big, yellow, and about an inch big. Makes anything beneath them unviewable.

I just looked at my page through IE myself, and yeah, I see them XD That kinda puts a gink in my plans, though, I don't know why IE isn't registering those parts of the background but is others...

This the the part where I realize how little I really know about CSS building XD;;; It seems to cut off the very last lines in the box, so until I figure out a way to fix it, I guess I shouldn't put direly important things last in my journals XD;;;

Thanks for letting me know!

I really like this new CSS, it's relaxing ^^

Gah! Another extension! I'm sure they'll make a great use of this one (yay! Next one is the final! ) ehem u.u

I've found another OCT, so if you want to list it there, it's accepting auditions and reference sheets until 1th February :iconse-oct:

I love boxes! Makes it so structurated ºwº *still getting amazed at the talent of human drawing of the featured*

Oh! And really belated happy new year! XD

Methinks your CSS is quite nice. ^^ Oh, and methinks your title should stay as it is. :D
