Topic: bigyou's handmade website

i'm also looking for some affiliation, some link exchange, tell me if your interested.

thanks !

man, your site is SAWEEEEEEEEET :-)

Can I put a link to your site on mine?

sure pal !
just give me the link to your page so i can put it on my site too. do you have an icon for the link ?

¨...the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.¨

Well, I must admit that it is a very nice looking site, but tables with an iframe? Not exactly my cup of tea, but to each his own, I suppose.

There's not much to look at yet, but I'm concerned about the size of the content area. It may be fine for something like news, but how are you going to fit work, design and the rest in there (I took a look at your temp work page, and the content area there appears to be even smaller...)?

I'll take a look again after I get back from vacation--I'm sure you'll have some more up by then.

suho : i have to admit that yes, there is not a lot of room to put content in there. But this seems to be a problem of mine that I always have when i do websites, or anything else i'm usually very minimalistic so i'm pretty sure i will be able to find a way to put lot of content in these small areas ! ( well, i hope )

thanks for your comments on the look of the site pal

Well, I am interested to see where you're going with this. It will be something to look forward to.

hmmm maybe you can have a look at the work page once again. i did put some previews of work. every preview will of course be clickable. i know how to make it open in a new window but dont how to make it open the size i want it to be. does anyone know (probably )

it may change, dunno, this was to see how it looked like. but still i think its not that bad.

¨...the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.¨

Ah, so that's how you plan on doing it... then popping open new windows (the window size can be controlled with JavaScript, but I haven't messed around with that stuff in a while, so I can't tell you right off the bat how to do it).

Oh, I also thought I'd mention this: you might want to change the code in your sig from HTML to UBB code.

[Edit: A quick search through the FAQ uncovered a nice link on how to create popups. Take a look at that--everything you need should be in there.]

Thats a great idea, and the way all the pages have a different but similar design is a nice touch. It is a bit heavy on my 56k though ( or are brinkster slow ? ) Maybe your design images might be smaller if you save them as GIFs, seeing as though they dont have a lot of colour, maybe not.
I'll try to remember you next time Im updateing my site, I dont have time to do it now sry.


Some Popup Code:
<script>
function pop(url) {
tWidth=Math.round(screen.width*0.8);
tHeight=Math.round(screen.height*0.8);
gleft = (screen.width/2)-(tWidth/2);
gtop = (screen.height/2)-(tHeight/2)-30;

// Its the next line that does all the work.
popup = open(url,"gWindow",'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=1,
menubar=0,scrollbars=1,scrolling=auto,resizable=1,width='+tWidth+',
height='+tHeight+',left='+gleft+',top='+gtop+'');
}
</script>

its used like so: <img onclick=pop("blah.htm"); > and it will pop a big window 80% of the screen size in the center. You should be able to see how to set constant width values.

A horizontal scrollbar in an iframe? Huh?

i didnt know if it was actually possible to put an horizontal scrollbar ... just wanted to know, but its obvious that, huhuh, its impossible

i actually didnt pay any attention about the file size, i think its under 100k for one page. i'll fix that when i find time to work on it again.

thanks guys for the comments, its always appreciated

I really, really, really like the first page that comes up. But then the others I don't like so much. Personally I think it would look a lot better if you just had the first page be the design and then swap in the different content.

behmer - Google Bomb, for my dad's site.
kewlster

yup right, i think thats a good idea ... would be much easier to go through the whole thing
thanks pal

Cool!! I do so love sites that have their own "Look" and that aren't some cookie cutter "thang". Man now..that is just really cool.

I must get going on my sites soon.

(i disagree I like the changing images....Probably cause it's very different and new...and damn well fresh...i say leave it.)
