  1. What do you want to learn more about?

    March 30, 2010 by Austin Hallock

    My last post didn’t seem to be that big of a hit — maybe that’s because you all could care less about mod_rewrite.

    What would you like me to write an informative post on? If you have any ideas for some sort of script like the overlay box and banner creator, let me know and I can do that too.

    Post your suggestions in the comments section.

    Thanks!

    P.S. just so this post has some sort of content, here’s a picture of my newly acquired living room furniture….

    So, since everyone seems to like the banner creator, I’ve done some more work on it.

    The biggest new feature is the addition of multiple background images.

  3. Quick and Easy Banner Creator v2

    March 14, 2010 by Austin Hallock

    I’ve made some updates to the banner creator I posted about yesterday. Some changes include:

    • You can now pick custom background colors
    • Same goes for font color
    • Better alignment
    • Text is now wrapped, so you can enter longer text and it will force it to a new line.

  5. Lookin’ good – Intro

    February 20, 2010 by Austin Hallock

    How to succeed in building a successful website…The most important part is the site design.

    Well, that’s just my opinion — based on past experiences (and the reason Mike and I have launched successful sites). And this is coming from a programmer (though I dabble in design).

    I’m going to be starting a series of blog posts that will go into how to make your pages look better using CSS.

    So…what’s good looking?

    This is
    This isn’t

    Of course, you might already know that, so the next couple posts of mine will go into the various tips and tricks to making something look good! It’s not just the physical appearance that matters either, the transitions between pages, and effects you have on each page plays a big part as well.

    Let’s take a look at a splash page Mike Gartner just put out yesterday: Secret X. That page has only been rotating in Thumbvu, yet it’s gotten over 50 subscribers in 24 hours.

    Why? It’s not because of the content, he doesn’t mention anything about what his secret project is … it’s due to how sexy the page looks. Sure it’s simple, but it stands out.

    By the end of this series you’ll be able to make a page like that (and more) with ease.
