Webdesign is a *****.
Whatever you do, keep it simple. Sites look different on every other computer.

I once created a website in flash. It looked great with 25 fps animations and it worked perfectly on my 3 yo 500 Mhz PC.
But apparently there are still people with older and slower computers... and there are still a lot of people with the first model iMac. Hence i got so much complaints that i recreated the whole site in plain html with just a few cool animated GIFs.

Thanks for the help! I have one more question. Does anyone know any sites that have pictures of the front cover of JPOP albums? I need a few for my site. The ones at www.amazon.co.jp are most often blurry and low quality. Does anyone know where I could get some clearer ones about the same size?

Usually, you can enlarge Amazon's images by clicking them. Download the large graphic and enhance it with PaintShop or other graphical tools.

Did you take a look at YesAsia or CD Japan?

Photoshop is pretty good for enlarging images, but it's never as sharp as an original large scan.

I know there are websites that carry fullsize Jpop cd-sleeves, but i can't remember any of them. I'll ask around.

Also try looking on fansites of certain artists.
JpopHelp.com: North America's Online Source for Japanese Media!! also carries sleeves, but i'm not sure of the quality and size.

 

[Scott]

Ooh thanks. I'll look into it ^-^

Blah... big news

I've lost total drive and determination to work on my site...I've felt like this for the past week or so. I personally don't think I'm ready to do this. Blah I put so much work into it too. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about just saving everything incase I ever want to go back to doing it sometime in the future. Oh well

 

[moyashi]

lol, you and me both brotha.

My site has been on hold for now 6 months. Bad news is that I've lost probably close to $3,000 worth of revenue because of my laziness.

You might want to let a few friends check out what you're doing. They'll provide feedback and criticism which'll hopefully get you back on track again.

You're just burned out which happens to all of us. The point will be now if you overcome this sooner or later.

cheers and good luck!!

Take a creative break, there's a season for everything. I think I have more projects on hold than actually running.

Your time will come.

 

[kinjo]

take it EASY Scott, and slow down abit, you are only "HUMAN!",, do it when your hearts in it, be patient with yourself! and all the rest will fall into place,,

 

[Scott]

Haha some of the best advice there. Thanks you guys I guess it'll be up sometime, when it is, you'll be the first ones to know.

 

[Scott]

Whew. I decided to sack the idea of a website as right now I don't have the time or patience for one. I took up a nice little blog and encorporated a domo-kun theme. Take a look:

@ Scott

Nice page!!

@ Debs

Blogging, must be virtual newspeak, lol. Here's a definition:

"A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.

Blogs posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both."

 

[Scott]

Thanks everyone BTW I love your blog, Twisted. Keep up the good work.

 

[Twisted]

Ah, good to hear. Thanks.
You'll notice for yourself it's quite hard to get any serious feedback on a website.

 

[kinjo]

@ Thomas,, thanks!! so we are practically blogging along ourselves lol (a new word for me!! ) I really must get educated some day,lolol
