My moved and refurbished website
Well, it's mostly finished. Some stuff is still among the missing, and
the opening page needs work, and other pages have yet to receive the "treatment," but other than that... http://www.red-death.com/~beadles/index.html Please report broken links or missing pictures, but I'm still working on about half the pages. :-) I must give credit to some dude in Australia who calls himself "brucie" for the assistance in working out the template and style sheet. Arondelle PS: Red Death is an alcoholic beverage, the effects of which (so I'm told) are not unlike those of a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster. If you go to their main page, www.red-death.com (which comprises the entire website, so far), you can get the recipe for it and see another image I create for their use. ;o) -- ================================================== ========= To email me, empty the pond with a net |

I like it! But... I hope this is OK to say, but I prefer it with the
plain midnight-blue background that I see for several seconds before the busier, swirly background fills in. It's "dreamier" to me that way, and it sets off the nice header so well. The swirls and stuff seem more geometrical than dreamy, and also since they take a moment to load, even on cable, they're a bit startling when they do appear. Have you considered one big, faint swirl, like the Milky Way? -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Arondelle wrote: Well, it's mostly finished.

Besides, all of the index pages at www.arondelle.com also have that blue foilard in the background, and I'm trying to keep the look consistant.

It took me longer to create the background than it did to change the webpages. CSS is wonderful, once you get the gist of it.

Just to let you know the background tiles on a screen size of 1024. I
defiantly prefer the plain background! Looks loads more professional! Charlie. "Arondelle" wrote in message ...

I love your stuff, Arondelle. Just to let you know, the vessel links didn't
work. The last three under Misc. didn't work either. All but the first one didn't work under ornaments. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com |

Of course, it tiles: it's only 800x600 which is larger than the viewport in a browser on an 800x600 screen. For me, a "larger" screen size makes text that much harder to read, but YMMV. Actually, I'm not crazy about the bandwidth requirements for downloading such a huge file as a background. But, *I* like a background graphic. If I were a professional anything, I'd leave the background out, but I'm not, so I won't.

I'm still converting those -- except I think the vessels should be done. Hmmm.... Arondelle -- ================================================== ========= To email me, empty the pond with a net |
