azuriteOkay, so I'm almost (as in, 98%) done updating Blue Eyes and Apricots for its new spring layout. It's nice, it's acceptable, but it's a bit buggy. Here's where you come in.
I designed the entire site (as always) using Dreamweaver 8 and Photoshop CS ver. 8.0. The site is pretty much tabular PHP files, with the layout determined by header and footer files respectively, with some font and link tweaks provided by style.css. I decided to try my hand at DIV Layers to see how it would come out, because the left-hand menus were being stretched out WAY too far if they were just in table cells. So far, it looks good in Avant, except for one page-- the Affiliation page (looks the same in IE, too). I can't figure out what in the Dodo's Email Script overlaps with the DIV layering set by the header and the footer, so for some odd reason, the "Submit An Affiliation Request" button appears overlapping the text at the top of the page, instead of at the bottom, where it should be.
In Firefox, the DIV layers don't even seem to show up at all, which is sad-- I always like to make my pages Firefox-compliant. The text and everything is still there, but it just seems to ignore the DIV tags at the end and beginning (respectively) of the header and footer includes. Can anyone help me with this? I was thinking of taking the menu images and making them all into one image and linking them using a good ol' fashioned image map, to try and prevent the "stretching" in the center, main table cell. It's not a lot of work or changing to make, but if anyone has any better ideas, I'd like to hear them.
I've also emailed Oruha Kisaragi of Garfours to ask her (?) permission to use her (?) Seto x Anzu fanart-- though despite her (?) still loving the pairing, I don't think the art is hosted anymore, because so many people swiped it. In any case, I saved it and used it for my layout, but I wanted to link back and check if it was okay before the layout went live. My Japanese isn't up to snuff, but I hope she (?) understood me anyway. If worse comes to worse and I can't use that art,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
guardian_kysra, do you think I could color one of yours and use that? ^^
For those of you who truly want to help me with BEA and not just look at the coding atrocities I'm so good at, check out the beta version of the site here.
I was thinking about using some PHP switch code so that the "pocky stick" at the top of every page would change to indicate that page's content (That is, a header graphic that says "News and Updates" on the main page, "Members List" on the Members page, etc.) Too fancy/unnecessary? The people at CodeGrrl.com already got back to me with the appropriate code; all I would have to do is make the images, upload them, and tweak the code in the necessary spots.
Even better, it looks like TheAnimeFanlistings.org no longer has a listing for Seto x Anzu under their Yuugiou Relationship category, so I applied BEA for the "official" listing. The turnaround time is supposed to be 2 weeks, so I want to get the site fully up and running by then. Hopefully all affiliates, Garfours, and other artists/authors will get back to me before then.
Lastly, I'm planning on adding my increasing collection of fanart, fanfic nominations, website nominations, the "Our Song" slideshow/AMV, Seto x Anzu songlists, and any other affiliates that come my way (I've already affiliated with Boxshipping, Sexy Bastard, CeruleanMIST, and of course, Dragonfayth.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
setoanzulove and setokisara's mods need to get back to me with buttons before I link to them.) Anything else you'd like to see included? Let me know.

Date: 2006-01-05 06:59 pm (UTC)I'm debating on the layout-- I want to have something unique and my artwork so far--well it's not screaming 'use me for your layout'.... So more drawing and stuff will ensue... anything cool turns up I'll let ya know.
