EDIT//Banner is up.


Too big maybe? :S
How do you get it to be below the ad instead of above it?

Well this is what I have so far: http://www.myspace.com/dzynedotcom
Ever since myspace deleted my entire DIV layout :(
FROM THIS

TO THIS

I'd have to say it's not bad for slapping it together in one night. Been so disappointed about losing the other one lately :(
So I'm too lazy to recode my DIV... so I went back to the usual "DIV Influenced" Standard layout lol.

Still thinking about adding a banner at the top, but not sure what to make it look like. Ideas? Also any other ideas/suggestions for what I should include/not include?

I love div-esque defaults. throb.gif I think the picture of the girl with with the speech bubble looks a little tacky, but other than that it's very cute and clean.

I would add the top banner, but make it really simple. Maybe something like your sig?

I like layouts like this, but is seems kind of misalined for me.

Fire Fox 1024x768

I agree that the girl looks a little cheesy though.

Yeah it's looks misaligned in FF for me too. I'm using the latest version. I like it and it would look nice with a banner.
imperfectionistx
Lol that girl is me tongue.gif
I just needed to put something there to fill space.
My last layout had a picture of me and a little bio, that's what I was going to do, but I decided against it this time and just left the pic :P
I need to replace it with something pinch.gif ...most likely... a penguin. lol.

If it is misaligned, it's because I have my background aligned center right because for some reason that's the only way it aligned in my resolution. It should be center center for it to align for most people, but then it wouldn't look right to me lol.

So, any other banner ideas? A little animation maybe?
Colors, fonts, etc?
I kind of wanted to use a script font in the same lime green color, but I didn't know if it would look dumb because all my other headings are using georgia font. :S And I was going to include my penguin logo but I wasn't sure if I was already using it too much.

Ideas?

^You don't think it would clash/be too much?
Guess I'll just make it later & find out :P
Blaqheartedstar
oi? netscape also has it looking messy.
I do agree the pic of you and the bubble is a little tacky. would look better with penguin you have as the logo instead.
imperfectionistx
^For some reason I think it only looks fine in larger resolutions. :S iono.
So I changed my pic to a little doll that kinda looks like me with a penguin instead so it's a little less redundant with all the logos but still represents me.

Better?

it's misaligned in the exact same way for me. i'm running firefox 3, and my res is 1280x800. dunno if that helps. :c

but the elouai doll looks worse than the picture of yourself. the layout, overall, however, looks awesome. :D
imperfectionistx
Why does it look worse?
Is it because it's red and nothing else is red?
Or because it's anime-ish? lol.
I am at a loss for what to put there.
I want a picture there, but I don't want it to be my logo since it's already on my page so many times :S

Also, my res is 1280x960 and it aligns for me.
My other desktop is WAY bigger than that and it still aligns.
It also aligns on my laptop.

I'm not sure why it doesn't align for other people huh.gif
alison-apples
i think it's because it just looks like a different style than everything else. that, and the red thing. lol.

uhm. maybe draw up your face (with a thoughtful expression?) however you did your little penguin logo? i'm not sure. :3

^I was thinking of doing that. I wish I had a tablet pinch.gif
I guess it will just have to stay for now :P

I wonder if the resolution problems are only in FF and not IE?
I'm using IE and it's fine. FF users seem to have the alignment problems.
&Netscape.
alison-apples
oooh, that's probably it. there's some funky coding differences between firefox and ie. like, there's codes that only firefox understands, and there's codes that only internet explorer understands (i believe.)

like, in firefox, the scrollbar is the same color/size/shape. always. there's not really a code that can change that.

et cetera.

ya.

you're mad cute.

That's like the 3rd time LOL :P

the banner looks great, same with the pixel chick.
as for the links, have you tried adding <br>
or display:block; to them? for some odd reason they bunch up.

I have no clue what gives off the black border nor why its as wide as it is. shrug.gif

lol i'm looking into getting a tablet. Dell has a few good ones for a good price.
netscape is a mix of safari and firefox.

Third time what?
imperfectionistx
^Thanks(:
About the links, I'll try adding a <br> after them.
I thought they were on display:block, but I might be wrong.
The links are also only like that in FF. In IE it lines up. :/
Tung
better answer my question. mad.gif
imperfectionistx
^Third time you said that lol.
What's with the hostile smiley ?! blink.gif

Tung
But you are mad cute! sad.gif

Hostile smiley is for you ignoring my question the first time around! verymad.gif
imperfectionistx
^ wacko.gif sorry sorry! :S

Anyways, any more feedback about the banner?
It's my biggest concern atm. I kind of feel it's too big, but I don't know if I should make it smaller or if it matches or not.

Ideas?

try adding display:block; to those links.
also adding !important; to each line makes sure that the same effect shows up on all browsers.

^ under the nav

I really like this. Nice appeal as a whole. I like the colors too.

^Thank you(:

it says it doesn't work with the new nav :(

Also, I changed the color of the doll's clothes to green so it matches a little better.
I added a chatango too so people can make suggestions there also (:
