A Guide to Getting Hosted.

Posted Jul 3, 2008. Filed under rant, domain. 1 comment.

btw, i no-longer offer hosting, considering my crappy plan only allows for 5 ftp accounts.
Okay, so you want to get hosted? lets start off with the necessities.

  • Previous Web-Designing Experience
  • Graphic Making Ability
  • Knowledge of CSS

if you have all of these, you can get started.
do not use piczo. ever. it is absolutely terrible and is looked down on by every single legit webmaster out there. it does not use stylesheets, php, or anything of the sort, and only help you with, well, making things look nice.

enough about piczo, get freewebs. it’s much better. you AT LEAST use stylesheets. you can sign up for free, and host everything you need. good.

so you have a freewebs, and it looks good, now what?

get some affies.
like, a lot.

eventually, someone might find you, ask you to be hosted, and you will be set!

if that doesnt happen, you can look around. be friendly, and dont seem too stuck up. you should have a couple graphic examples ready to go, and you need to be prepared to link to your freewebs. this will be your “look what i can do” card.

play it whenever you can. this will impress people, and they will probably accept you.

in the case that they don’t host you, you can always find someone else. the change won’t be very big from freewebs, but it will look better, and seem more pro-fessional. it’s also alot easier to use than freewebs.

good luck on finding a host!
w00t!

Compatibility

Posted Jun 28, 2008. Filed under layout, rant, compatibility. 10 comments.

Okay, so everybody is talking about how their layout would look on other operating systems, browsers, etc. and i was thinking about it, and something dawned on me.
basically, this is what they’re aiming for:

  • Internet Explorer
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Opera
  • Sea Monkey

on operating systems such as…

  • Mac OS
  • Windows
  • Linux

BUT, people ARENT taking into consideration, the iPhone and iPod touch with Safari.
most people dont know this, but, scrollable div’s do not work on the iPod touch and iPhone’s version of Safari.
that’s right, you heard it. they dont scroll.
i know, it sounds weird, but it’s still something you have too keep in your head. that makes layouts with layout boxes, scrolling content areas, and any other div boxes do not work.
in order for you to keep your layout/website compatible in all operating systems, do not have them on your site.
this way, everyone will be able to see what you have, and it will work for everyone :)

that’s all for now, hope you liked my rant :)

Wooot!
