Yeah... Im asking for someone else to do my layout.

But, before you jump down my throat and say "Do it yourself" hear me out...

Four score and a few weeks ago, I began looking into a new layout. I assembled my pics I wanted and went on to the harder task, assembling the code. Of course, this is a monumental task for someone with MINIMAL HTML experience, and no CSS experience. So I poke around at tutorials and try and teach myself enough to assemble something to work from. However, that didnt work. I ask for some advice, get it, put it to good use, and still have nothing. So I go back to the tutorials... still nothing. Someone suggested I look at the code of other layouts... but that was a mess of code I couldnt decipher. So I cant make a thread asking for CSS help... because I have no CSS for you to help me WITH. Eventually I ran out of options and here I am, asking for someone to, pretty much code my entire layout.

Im like a construction worker. I have everything I need to build a house right at my fingertips, including blueprints of how it looks when its finished. I just cant build the house because I dont know how. =/

So if anyone feels like they can help me out, below are the links to the images I want in my layout, along with an image of everyting assembled, looking somewhat like what I want. I have RGB values of all text and background colors on a piece of paper right here for reference when you need them.


Here is my vision of creation.

http://photobucket.com/albums/v412/KirbyATW/CS%20Layout/

Heres where the components for my vision lie.

All I want is a layout for my posts to go in... nothing more. Is that so much to ask...

I'm working on something now...

Styles don't seem to work yet. Can be fixed.

Okay, close enough for now. If you want it, please host the CSS yourself.

Edit: Made it so much easier to get. View Source on this page and search for "ARSEBADGERS".

I see where you're both going with the layout, and it looks great, but I'd like to ask Kawa to lighten the text a bit, since that text is almost blending into the background.

Kawa wins 100 awesomeness points if she can tell me what to stick in my header/signature so it works correctly...

As for text colors, I think I know enough to play around with THAT on my own

Once it gets working, all thanks goes in signature

Like I said, view the source for this page and search for ARSEBADGERS.

Then just change the LINK tag to point to your own copy of the CSS file.

Let me make sure Im doing this right...

In my header, there should be this...

"<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freewebs.com/kirbyalltheway/CSS/DM%20layout.css"><div class="douku"><div class="douku">"

and in my signarure, there should be this...

"</div></div>"

Right?

Also... what about the images (It isnt one big BG image. Its two images and a background color...)

What you just quoted was my own layout. Try again.

And the right picture has a white border.

Never, ever, EVAR use <link rel="stylesheet> for your CSS file. If something happens to the server the CSS file is hosted on, the entire thread you posted in will stop for 3+ mins. as the board waits for the server with the CSS file to timeout.

Instead, all PROPER post layouts use this:

<style>@import url(http://www.freewebs.com/kirbyalltheway/CSS/DM%20layout.css);</style>

I'd change my layout code, but that won't fix the thousands of old posts.

And then, how often does KickassGamers bleep out?

Granted. However, it will affect those of us using the Auto-Update option for post layouts.

Um... dunno. But like, right after I made that post, I went into another thread Legion had posted in, and his host was down, causing broken images. But so too was YoshiDude's layout. One of them was using that <link rel> stuff, and the thread froze.

They need to write a MySQL script that will replace all instances of <link rel> with @import, then run it on the DB. That would solve a lot of problems.

I think that layout is great, even if it´s just modified.

A nice touch, indeed.

It's not the server that waits for the CSS file's host to just time out or die, it's the browser. It could be easily fixed by simply displaying it unstyled until the page finishes loading, much like Opera does. Why Firefox has to cough, sputter, and die whenever it encounters CSS problems is beyond me...

Or you can simply use @import, and not have to worry about blaming browser or server. Why complicate things?

I didn´t notice the construction KIrby. It really IS cute.

Maybe you could add other Kirbies in different colors.

I guess it's just my browser that's causing the large blue border around the KATW's posts...?

Eh, people ALWAYS have trouble seeing my layouts Elric

I never liked scrollbar layouts either Danielle

Eh... more Kirbies might make the layout too crowded as far as Im concerned. Though, a graphical update may be in order if I get the time

Actually, now that I think about it... this layout base is perfect for some other themes . Image exchange and a color swap, and Ive got themes ...

I need to start scheming ¬_¬
