You can easily get a VPS for $5 a month and put node on it yourself.

also currently reworking an old webhosting design

the two uneven text blocks at the bottom are only because of the screenshot tool i used.

also, if anyone has some free time and a paypal account and doesn't mind helping me test my billing panel, i will obviously pay you the money to be tested beforehand - i will greatly appreciate it! you can add me on steam :)

edit:

also bought a macbook pro yesterday, what's the best screen grabber tool for mac?

Paypal has [url=https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/accounts]sandbox accounts[/url] specifically for this purpose, and OSX has a built in shortcut (Cmd+Shift+4 to grab a region, Cmd+Shift+3 for entire screen) which will save the region on your desktop, if you want something that automatically upload, use puu.sh

I've tried sandboxing but I would like to try it live at least once or twice.

Also I know about the built in one, I was just wondering if there was a small app to upload it instantly to the web - might try puush again then

I'd recommend [url]http://droplr.com/[/url] for the task of screen grabbing.

With the paypal IPN, as long as both the HTML form and serverside IPN script connect to the main Paypal server properly, it should be fine. Make sure you have an error log though

No! It's on my to-do list, I will complete it eventually!

Other than the font, I really like the simplicity of the design. I think if you added some information and added text on that home page, it would look fantastic!

You don't need one, its all built into OSX.

Command (Cmd)+Control (Ctrl)+Shift+3: take a screenshot of the entire screen, and saves it directly to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere
Command(Cmd)+Control(Ctrl)+Shift+4, then select an area: takes a screenshot of the selection using the rectangular drawing box, and saves it to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere
Command(Cmd)+Control(Ctrl)+Shift+4, then space, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window as specified by the hovering snapshot cursor, and saves that capture to the clipboard for pasting

To create a separate image file from a screenshot:

Command (cmd)+Shift+3: takes a screenshot of the full screen (or screens if multiple monitors), and save it as a file to the desktop
Command (cmd)+Shift+4: brings up a selection box so you can specify an area to take a screenshot of, then save it as a file to the desktop
Command (cmd)+Shift+4, then spacebar, then click a window: takes a screenshot of a window only and saves it as a file to the desktop.

[URL="http://evernote.com/skitch/"]Skitch[/URL] is better than that. It lets you take screenshots of windows or selected parts of the screen and it'll also upload them for you to a place you specify and generate a link to share. Make sure to [URL="http://evernote.com/download/get.php?file=SkitchMac_v1"]download a 1.x[/URL] version though because version 2.0 removes some important features such as being able to configure a custom FTP host for instant upload of screenshots.

I knew about this, was looking for something to upload it too, thanks though :)

Thanks, will take a look at this too!

How wasn't ShareX mentioned? That thing is beast.

shareX doesn't work with public files on google drive. Else I'd used it :(

Does anyone remember what the framework was called that was very similar looking to bootstrap, just a bit smaller and slightly different looking - I really cannot remember.

[commander204]

I also enjoy using [URL="http://purecss.io/"]purecss[/URL]

[KmartSqrl]

I always end up fighting against these CSS frameworks more than I benefit from them as soon as I want to do something that isn't something they are built to do. They're nice for admin panels, but I never use them for user-facing stuff anymore because I end up having to gut them eventually anyways.

That's the reason I dropped Bootstrap, it's nice for quick and dirty prototypes, but as soon as you try to get out of it it just stands in your way.

I haven't encountered that problem with purecss yet to be honest. It only applies styles when you explicitly tell it to, so you can design with it instead in it.

I know it's nothing like bootstrap, but I personally use [url="http://h5bp.com"]HTML5Boilerplate.[/url]

I am currently working on my own PC oriented blog/website. It will mostly feature articles about news in the gaming "world". But we will also feature several articles about certain subjects regarding the industry, genres and gaming. We will also have weekly reviews of both game and gaming accessories, such as mouses, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads.

I have been working on this site for a year, and think that I am soon ready to launch it together with a friend of mine. The problem is that I haven't really been getting any feedback about the site itself, and I am not sure if I am just too biased when it comes to reviewing my own work. Therefore, I am hoping that you, the fellow fellows of WAYWO could take a look at it and give me some feedback.

The site in question is: [url]www.thinkreadplay.com[/url] it is currently only a "coming soon" page for everyone except for me.
I have created a passage. [url]www.thinkreadplay.com/butnotongue[/url] this will give you a 6 hour cookie which will let you [B]access the real site.[/B]

[B]Everything you see is mostly WIP[/B] and I haven't gotten around to writing any articles yet. [B]All of the articles are copied from various news sites, just so I could test out certain functions.[/B]

Thank you for taking your time to look through the site, I really appreciate it!
If you interested in talking with me, you can reach me through STEAM.

Would be great if you could also follow the site on [URL="https://twitter.com/ThinkreadPLAY"]twitter[/URL], I occasionally post some "funny tweets"

You've been working on it for a year? What has all the time been spent on? It's a slightly modified version of this: [url]http://themeforest.net/item/extranews-responsive-news-and-magazine-theme/3102218[/url]

One thing that jumps out at me is all the random "quotation" marks in your copy, they are really awkward and don't need to be there.

Not non-stop of course. I started on it in May last year, worked for 2 months then I stopped until December 2012 where I resumed work. After that, I have been taking monthly stops until recently when I have taken up work on the site again. I worded it poorly, but in that time I also counted in planning and managing other stuff such as hosting, social media, reading up on books and articles, and other stuff I can't remember. Also, yes, It is a modified version of that template until I can get my hands on a custom made one.
I have tried to make it as different as possible, but it seems that it didn't help so much as you pointed it out as only slightly modified.

Could you direct me to some of these quotation marks, I have a nasty habit of typing them out where they should be. :v:

You also seem to add a lot of [i]unneeded[/i] emphasis, like the bolding in your posts and the italicized "three guys" on the home page. There's also an unneeded comma in the subtitle.

Just a really small showcase kind of thing. Only optimized for Chrome so far, don't really know what it'll look like in other browsers yet. I'm still a massive noobass at this so code might have some filthy faults to it! :~D

The posts as I wrote earlier, are not writting by me. Most are directly taken from RockPaperShotgun.

And as for the other stuff and the comma, thank you. English isn't my first language, so I sometimes have the problem of putting comma in the wrong places.

Woah woah, hang on. You can't just lift articles from other websites without any credit at all. You don't even have the correct author name.
Even with credit it's a bit dodgy without explicit permission. You're basically taking away their advertising revenue.
