BongoBob Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 It can be found here. This is all simple HTML midn you. I still have more advanced tags and techs to learn, but this is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Couple of constructive critizism- The blurred bold blue text is hard to read against the black backround, try using something a bit clearer? It might just be me, but the blue text against the black background also hurts my eyes. Want to change the text to more of a red or white? But it looks good so far!

XERXES Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 black on blue isnt pretty to the eyes. look around for dreamweaver if you arent good at learning all the html codes. if your a man use notepad to make pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Doesn't apper blurred to me, but I guess that it could be blurred(and ugly) to others, but I'll change that later. And to Xerxes, I did I think I may have found a site with more advanced tutorials. And it's free I can seriously see myself doing this as a sidejob of sorts.

XERXES Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Its not that its blurry...the dark blue on jet black is just too heavy to look at, if you get what I mean. But thats just my opinion. I would personally go for more lighter colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Cool, cool. Not saying that you have got it down, but cool. But what happened to the C++ you were doing. *smacks bongos wrists* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 From tiny seeds do big trees grow I started out learning HTML 7 years ago (how long?). Keep at it, prolly grab yourself a few tutorials of the NET (I would say look at my website, but I don't wanna be accused of leafleting ) and prolly grab yourself a book. Go from there. Each page you make will be better than the last. Oh and for colour purposes, lighter backgrounds are better for experimenting with colours. At least with colours that don't hurt your eyes Keep at it. There are plenty of HTML-ers out there who can help you out. And look forward. Every page is a step. Every error is a chance to learn. And most of all, enjoy MTFBWY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 When you're finished with HTML, learn scripting (javascript etc). It makes static pages look outdated. You should check out CSS as well; It gets you out of writing hundreds of <FONT> tags. Gotta hate 'em. Also, it has a bunch of other features that will prove useful to you while learning HTML.

Acrylic Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Back in '98 I was making pages like that. Now I make more advanced site. I know most tags, but I use dreamweaver now, because it saves me a hell of alot of time. My band's site: http://www.mottoband.tk designed by me.

ET Warrior Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 What the deuce? How OLD are you guys? My golly you look like young-uns in those pics on your site Acrylic..*giggle* I actually never took the time to learn HTML....although recently i've thought about just picking it up as a little hobby, though college keeps me busy. btw, I could teach all of you HTML if all of you want. Now now, no need to show off, and if anyone here wants to learn it there are a bazillion resources for them, all of which are probably easier than an internet forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 That´s actually a good first page as starter bongo. When you get more involved I suggest using a bit more tables and very important, CSS, to give all your pages the same characteristics. And maybe after that you could learn some php so you dont need to code every html piece over and over again. If you ever need some help, give me a ring And about those sigs, you can adjust the length in your CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now, no need to be all feisty about it, your sig was too long, and I pointed it out. Thank you for being mature about it though, and simply shortening it.

Alegis Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 *remembers his first site and runs away* Anyway, you'll notice very soon just text is very amateurish (i know you start from there, and your goal is to get out of it ASAP ), you need to work with something called images Learn tables quick, I suggest to you. Not all webpages need to be full of code to be nice, you can have some with 1) customized background and 2) images as navigator 3)Table in middle as content. (you can use php for this) something like this is rather simple, but looks ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i want to learn is how to manipulate CSS well. btw, sorry, I wasn't trying to show off. Just stating a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 The only thing i want to learn is how to manipulate CSS well. Just as a quick follow up : you can modify almost every CSS value with JavaScript using JS' .style object. e.g. document.getObjectById('layer6').style.fontFamily = "Trebuchet MS" for example. Oh yeah and getObjectById() makes referencing so much easier (just make sure your dynamic stuffs have "ID" attributes ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 it's a good start, and if you are serious you can learn and improve as you go, also Bob if you ever come to a page or site you like, right click on the page, pull up a menu and select view source, and the sites magical html code will be revealed to you. I recently learned a bit of dynamic html for a home page. if you like bob go to http://www.bbrp.virtue.nu to see it. it's neat linited animation on one page, rather than several. anyhow if you have basic questions about HTML i can help you out having made a few websites myself. none of which are fancy, (but they work) theses sites are http://www.geocities.com/microstewie http://www.geocities.com/grimpeg and http://www.geocities.com/ministryofzim as for site design and layout you will never please everyone. some peeps screen resolutions are bigger or smaller than yours, some monitors are set at 256 colours, etc etc etc design what you like, listen to critiquing, and if any of it sounds good take the advice, but if you feel happy with what you made, be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
