I'd suggest you goto http://www.oswd.org and look at some of the designs there.
If you don't like any of those, I'll make a design for free.

Hey Kyle,

I'd be glad to help you with your design. :)

[kylecool]

Today marks the 2 week 1 day anivarsary of my computer. I didn't have it for over 2 weeks. It was a very sad and depressing time for me. Anyways, I'm really good at designs, but I think that I might need a little design and direction along the way. I'll check out those designs, and hopefully you guys could help me make a good one. I will make it php, since php rocks. Thanks again!!

Well, are there any specific color schemes you'd like or anything like that?

FYI: It's not usually great business to link to a Britney Spears fan site on a site which offers professional web design and hosting... Just a thought. :)

[kylecool]

On my new site design, Britney SPears will NOT be there anymore. my customers don't know that yet, but she will be GONE> I don't like her anymore. As far as color scheme goes, I don't really care as long as it looks good. I had an idea I made, take a look at it...

Well? Does it look good, do I need to start oer, rework it? new Color Scheme? My color scheme that is finilized that I will choose will be the same for my whoole site, so... What do you think?

like the horizontal stripes.

Question: Why'd you go with such a complicate date script, why not something simple like

<? echo strftime("%A %d %B, %Y"); ?>

Anyhow, site looks good. :)

Neat! A few things -

1) The animation should only display ONCE. After that it gets annoying.
2) The black stuff at the top should extend all the way to the end. Also, the date should not be so close to the edge.
3) And (no offense intended) if you're serious about this you might want to look into a different name. For example, delemtri.com is my personal site, but the site for my web design/tools/hosting (maybe)/free space/email site is Ryft Web Solutions (ryftweb.com, still under construction).

Overall though nice job. :)

I;ll change the Flash. I might change the name, as I'm thinking about the name right now. Kylecool.com will be my personal site, and the other one will be my "website" selling or my services.

[kylecool]

Since it is in php, I was able to imput that command for the date. I fixed the Flash, also. I added scroollbar colors, and form colors. What do you guys think of it now? I like it!

Two things:

1) The orange text in input stuff isn't bright enough.
2) I think you should have an underline as part of the link-hover effect, but that's just a personal sort of affectation.

[kylecool]

I just integrated my stocks page in with it. Overall, how do you guys like the page, and gussetions for me?
-Kyle

[kylecool]

I need your guys help. Ok, i have all the tables at 100%, so why aren't they going 100% covering the full screen. Also, there is a scrollbar, y? There is nothing to make one. Also, on the pop cats, etc. part above the map, the first one when you put the mouse over it, its fine, but move it over the other 3 and they grow big. How do I fix these? Any help would be appreciated.

-Kyle

[delemtri]

Don't put italics/bold in a hover effect. It screws stuff up.

[kylecool]

I did that. I took off the bold and italic, but it is still offset What now?

-Kyle

[kylecool]

Also, what about the 100%. I have it set at 100%, but it doesnt look like it to me.
-Kyle

[mark_olson]

It's forced to strech the window more than the 100% because of the image and the domain registration.

[kylecool]

What image? How can I fix it?
-Kyle

[steffield]

I may be wrong, but it sounds as though you need to define your page margins in the < body > tag.

leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" etc etc

If your serious about making sme money off of flash get some funky stuff going on, spinning text and stuff is okay but if you need some help figuring out how to do the really cool stuff go to
www.Flashkit.com
They can show you all sorts of stuff and you can showcase some real talent. Also Flash is super powerful and really easy to get carried away with, to make sure your animation is within reason check out the bandwidth profiler. You'll see where to make the changes you need for speedy loading and stuff. Hope that helps you out.
