AU

As promised, I'm updating the design of AU.
What do you think? Only the buddies and email links work, so don't bother.
the design is here: http://www.geocities.com/aliens_unlimited/aatempindex.html

well, first off... it is very blue :P and second, it looks like pure shit in opera... something is wrong with the tables for the text.  I am too lazy to open it with ie right now.

Some of the pictures (the Glagnar's-alien and some others) look like they are resized with ms-paint or something... Use Photosop to resize the pictures!

Blue is cool... just look at PEEL's new design..

Actually, I did use ms paint. I don't have photoshop. Everything was done on paint.

I don't know what you mean by that...
I could probably change it from blue, but I kinda like it that way. Oh well.

Maybe i should just get a co-webmaster. I'm just not very good at pictures...

1. Use Photoshop for picture-editing
2. Use Dreamweaver (or something like that) for the webpages. MS Frontpage makes Microsoft-only-HTML that sometimes only work in MS internet exploder.

Both programs can be downloaded from warez sites... if you can find them and navigate through the confusing pages, java viruses and porn ads...

If not, I can resize some of the pictures for you. Just don't make it a full-time job!

I'm not using frontpage for anything, but I'll look into downloading Photoshop.
If not, I'll give up and learn to live with my shoddy graphics.

if you want to resize images  (which you do) download IrfanView. its free and resizes images just as good as photoshop.


Btw, you seem to be using an image resize tag instead of resizing them by hand and using the img tag to have a thumbnail: thats bad.  It means your are loading the WHOLE image as a thumbnail.  Errrr that didnt sound right, but you might understand.

Yes I do understand what you mean bart, and yes I am. I'll try IrfanView, it looks pretty good.

Oh, and can i get a few suggestions for other colours? Everything I make is a little... harsh. Blue is just easy on the eye. Unfortuately its used by PEEL and CGEF. I was experimenting with a grey back, but I had the same problem as it's too similar to KFNF (no offence).

marc, I tried to make an amber (it was pretty crappy) but in the process I made a tan and an orange. I might use those with a grey background or something.

[Reply #9 on:]

maybe try a warm amber, there is no major page using that yet i think

AU is back up, in case you noticed, which you didn't :P I'll work on the new background colours soon. That image thing you recommended is awesome Bart. I'll make smaller pics rather than resize them.
