I redesigned my site to be a clean-looking portfolio+control panel.
I just need to finish the control panel so that when my dad makes sites for people, he doesn't give them some easy CMS, because the users can't figure that out and pay someone lots of money to change one page:saddowns:

I made a status panel thing, do you guys like it? It doesn't have any outstanding functional purpose right now but I think it looks nice.

Looks nice but that font's numbers aren't very good in tabular format really.

I think the trick with status monitoring is that the server running the monitor isn't monitoring itself.

First use xhtml.
Second don't do
this.
And use css.

What's the difference? Im just asking to learn!

Also im having trouble resizing with css size attribute!

[JDream]

Resizing what exactly?

[chill_dude]

[QUOTE=JDream;22528577]Resizing what exactly?[/QUOTE]

I want a mouse over effect when the mouse is on the icons. So the icons get bigger when the mouse is on them.

Well use a lineup like

<img src="url to image" alt=""(always set an alt attribute, no matter if it contains something or not)>

Then again, if you don't want to resize the image via html(which you shouldn't), it will automatically use the full size of the image.

For resizing, just go for a class like

css
.hover {
  height: xxpx;
  width: xxpx;
}

html
<img src="url" class="hover" alt="">

Then for the layout of the css, I suggest you start it with the same as your html site, like body comes first etc., makes it easier to overview. I for an example put stuff like link, header definitions to the bottom.

@cas97, damn that looks sexy. You just gave me an idea how to layout my new design. :)

[sseug]

Sigh.
First of all:

html

<img src="path" alt="" class="resize">

css

img.resize:hover{
   height:150%; /* whatever */
   width:150%
}

Second, you wouldn't want to do that in the first place, it looks like shit.
And third, if you seriously can't see what's wrong with this:

<IMG 
   SRC="Images/Home.png"
   WIDTH=150 
   HEIGHT=150 
   BORDER=0
   NAME="Home">

You need to stop what you're doing right now and read some html tutorials. I could point out what's wrong with it...

...so I will.

<IMG [highlight]bold tag[/highlight]
   SRC="Images/Home.png" [highlight]bold attribute[/highlight]
   WIDTH=150 [highlight]bold attribute, value should be in quotes, but you shouldn't be using it at all - either use css or, even better, use nothing, let the image take its actual size, scaling in html looks like shit[/highlight]
   HEIGHT=150 [highlight]bold attribute, same as above[/highlight]
   BORDER=0 [highlight]bold attribute, you shouldn't really have to set this and if you do set it in css - even better, use a css reset, also quotes[/highlight]
   NAME="Home"> [highlight]bold attribute, wtf is "name"[/highlight]

That's an awful lot of red text for what's basically a line of code, isn't it?

And let me just point this out one more time:

Getting started on my Portfolio website, its still a bit too dark though.
[IMG]http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb139/chrishind10/portfolio.png[/IMG]

[Zayfox]

Lighten that black a bit. :byodood:
I like the links though.

[chrishind10]

Yeah, il sort it out once I get home tonight, ah, the advantages of knowing a teachers logon details. I can bypass the filter they have on the internet now.

[QUOTE=chrishind10;22528956]Getting started on my Portfolio website, its still a bit too dark though.[/QUOTE]

Coming along nicely, but i'm not liking the gradient on the nav nor the blue underline.

[chrishind10]

I'm thinking I should brighten the background to a dark gray with a fuzzy texture and drop a shadow onto it from the actual navbar and page. Although I havnt decided properly yet.

I like it. :3:

[Reagy]

Very simple.
Very nice.

[torekk]

The only downside is, that including custom fonts isn't really supported in CSS 2.1. :saddowns:

Edit: Oh god! [url]http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator[/url]

Edit2: I could slap myself. I'll just put that font as an background image.

[chrishind10]

Slight update, made the dotted line taller, added a propper cap for the bottom, and brightened the background slightly.

Loving it, I'll post some of my stuff soon.

[chrishind10]

Just added an orange tint, I think it looks a lot less bland, now for some pictures!

[sseug]

Not a fan of the text at the top, the top [nav]bar seems too big an a little clunky, I'm not sure how you'll use the split view, and the cap at the bottom looks really bleagh.
But anyway, nice work, it's a step in the right direction.

[Bellminator]

Whats the best way to create borders using images.

Whatever I'm doing is failing to no avail.

[chrishind10]

For example, I use a 3x3 table (I know it isnt right) and create a top left, top right, top ect image that goes as the background in each cell, If you want, il knock up a template webpage and IM it to you.
And sseug, I intend to use the split view for the gallery, as an example, the left section will display a directory listing of images in the current album, once you click on one, it opens up in the right section.
EDIT : Gonna thin out the Navbar and see how it looks, will post results.

[editline]08:47PM[/editline]

I actualy like the changes, do you think the Navbar is to thin now?
[IMG]http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb139/chrishind10/portfolio4.png[/IMG]

[JDream]

Yeah, 5 pixels to the top to thin.

Wrapped this up in the last three two days, implemented LightView for NextGEN Gallery, suggestions?

[jaybuz]

Just added a slick slider to my Black And White design:

Yeah, using another design. That one is so overused. Or atleast customize it a bit.

Where's creativity in webdesign? :|

Also, since you're german and you post news(which count as journal activity regarding to law), you need to add an imprint, or atleast I suggest that(just to be on the safe side). Contact details is enough though, like your address and contact information(either telephone number or email).

I hate that, but I'll rather do that than having some lawyer on my ass, though I doubt that will happen, but you never know...

I haven't had much time yet to customize it since I just set it up yesterday. Getting all required plugins, etc takes more time than expected.
Imprint will come later, yet I have no idea how the law is in austria.
