New Layout Design Options

[vrstewartw]

hey everyone, this is my first post here and I just wanted to show off a new layout I made. I had a webjay player on my previous layout but I couldnt seem to get one up on this one. Im new at this whole thing so any help would be appreciated. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

well welcome to cb, and i have to say the layout looks very cute, simple... but cute
the brushes look well in the back ground and i'm digging that bike on the right corner

Welcome to Createblog!
anyways, this layout is very nice and simple. I like it, but did you hide the ad?

[vrstewartw]

thanks guys and StanleyThePanda , the ads arent blocked. Sometimes they just dont want to show up

Oh and does anyone know why a .xspf music player wont show up when I try to embed it? I had one embeded before using this but its not working anymore

CODE

<div class="PLAYER" style="position: absolute; left:310px; top:260px;
width:175px; height:20px; overflow:visible;">
<embed allownetworking="internal" allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://webjay.org/flash/xspf_player?autoload=1&autoplay=1&playlist
_url=http://webjay.org/by/vrstewartw/vrstewartw2823229.xspf"
     quality="high"
     bgcolor="e6e6e6"
     width="400"
     height="145"
     name="xspf_player"
     align="right"
     type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
     /></div>

It's nice, the bike in the corner is kind of random, but that's okay. I'd make the overall background blue to match the image and lower your profile so that the ad doesn't cover it when it shows up. But I like the simplicity and placement. Overall, good job. (:

Thats really neat although the music player is right in the middle of it all and the original profile pokes out at the bottom.
Its really neat though
just fix those minor problems.


welcome to createblog, i'm holly


Your player is working fine for me, you just need to position it somewhere else.

[vrstewartw]

hi holly im ronaldo.

haha..you must of checked the profile while i was making some changes. I did get the music player working and is in its right place and the og profile should be completely cover now.

haha

-waves-

It looks good now, song is lovely too.
I like the color blue. I think you need to bring the comment box over to the right a little more. And get rid of the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of your comments, I can tell you how to do it if you would life.
And perhaps change the link colors as well?

[vrstewartw]

yeah if you can show me how to make the comments smaller that would be awesome. i also moved the comment box a bit to the right like you suggested, its perfect in firefox but off a bit in IE. I was also thinking of making the home/add/message..etc, links as rollovers, wutcha think?

thanks a lot for the help!

[*This Confession*]

I like the idea of the links.



Okay and to make your comments smaller your going to have to add this..

<style>TD TD {text-align: center;}
TD TD TD {text-align: center;}
TD TD TD TD {border-top: 0px solid; width: 1%; text-align:normal;}
TD TD TD TD TD {border-top: 0px solid black; text-align:normal;}
TD TD TD TD TD TD {border: 0px solid;}
TABLE, TD {padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; width:350px;}
TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;height: .01%; width: 100%;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
table td div div font {visibili-ty:hidden;di-splay:none;}
table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;}
table table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;}
table table table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;} </style>

change the bold and underline 350px or keep it at that and it should change it.

[vrstewartw]

ok i tried adding the code but it just centered it. I think there might be something in the present code that might be throwing it off. I also tried changing the underlined px's but i didnt change. Heres whats in my about me:

[rorhinna]

I like it.
Its really cool
I like the colors
and the layout

[Relentless]

I like it. Nice colors and I like the background.

[Fragil.BlackRose]

Oooh, I like!!

I like the use of color, and it's simple.

I think that maybe using a color scrool bar and a smaller comment box will make a difference. But I'm just a noob, I could be wrong -.-'

[vrstewartw]

thanks guys. hey Fragil.BlackRose it doesnt matter that ur new, those are good suggestions. Im new too so I could use them. Salamat...lol
