i was wondering is there a code for this type of style Layout i see all the people in createblog having that particular style just different pictures...colors.... like how its the picture and the blue background for the words fall all the way down.. how is that done? i see it everywhere and now i wanna learn how to do that lol... isnt that called a div layout? is there a tutorial? thanks.. i wanna make a kelly clarkson layout but that style ..different colors different picture etc.... ummm erm i hope u guys know what i mean. cuz i know i'm not copying because i see billion of createblogs with that style layout

There isn't a special code. The banner, blog and profile are all the same, except the banner is left aligned instead of centre. Also, blue for the blog is just one continuous background. I don't know if that made sense. =\

hehe thanks.. i'm still lost LOL i just wanna make an Orlando Bloom one..maybe a blend for the banner and add brushes or something.something neat. but that style like how other createblogers do it.. i saw Xquizit's.. she made a free one like that style.. and a few others... ooo lucky talented people LOL :)

1. make a seperate image as a banner (your orlando bloom thing) and you see how she has the kinda bluish-green bars to seperate her blogs and info? make sure you also have just a little bit of that in your banner so it'll appear seamless
2. make another image as the background using the bars, make sure it lines up with the banner bars though



hope this works

*um i think i know what u meant

like different color blend together right ...

like this pic?

oo i'm talking about the whole layout in general.. the style of the two long blue backgrounds or erm..ugh i'm bad at explaning.. butoo that picture is very pretty.. that is something i wanna learn how to do. is there a tutorial on that?

This is the site where I learned how to create this types of layouts. I owe most of my whole design.. uh, "career" to this tutorial.

You might have to code the DIV differently though, because that tutorial is meant for websites instead of xanga.

<3 that tutorial.

thanks for the webs ite.. its really cool but erm i'm still confused LOL

oh! i re-read your first post ... i think i know what u meant ... well basically ... just div layer but she didn't set the height for the div layer so it go on and on ... like there's no limit ... and the blue background is just the background :D i hope u get what i meant :(

My old blog" ... i did the same style ... i used absolute div layer but absolute div layer is not working on xanga ... so i don't know anymore >.< btw, my old blog is kinda mess up coz the stupid banner!!! in the way


for that picture ... I'll show you how i did that ... because i think it's kinda similiar to the top picture that she did ... i blend alots of colors together while she did only 2 colors - pink and purple ... and those heart, stars, ects... i think it's just brush :D she just brush it in with different colors

*um is it okay to post the tutorial here? ... let me take pic and show u

Here is the tutorial ...



sorry ... i kinda mess up the pic when i drew the arrow and stuff hehe ... if i confuse you or u get stuck just let me know ... and i used photoshop 7

NOTE:

step 3: you can change the gradient color to whatever color you like ... just double click on the gradient and select color...

step 4: there are total of 6 colors ... to drag the line ... just hold down your left mouse and drag a line whichever direction you like ... i usually drag it diagonally ... it doesn't matter if you drag outside of the pic the longer you drag ... the less number of color will appear on the pic ... i don't know how to explain this ... just try you'll see ... this is something i learn along the way



step 7: to duplicate layer just right click on the background layer and choose duplicate ... you can also adjust the opacity and fill to your liking after you change the layer mode to screen .... about the gaussian effect ... the more you do the more blurry it gets

Result ...

pic after apply the gradient


I don't know if u can tell the different between these two mode ....
