Dark Furie - Finally Finished My CSS

Finally Finished My CSS

Sunday, November 4, 2007 2:03:16 AM

Well, it took me about a month to learn what I was doing and create what I wanted, but it's pretty much done now.

Thanks go to the following people who may or may not (I stole a lot of code for analysis) know that they helped.

Demiphonic - who got me interested in this stuff in the first place.
Dr Launch - who taught me it's possible to use the basic sheets as a base for your own modifications and not worry about doing everything.
Fred - without his stylesheet I'd never have managed to learn how to move the main menu and resize it.
Kite Geek - who sorted me out some free morphing software and a tutorial that ultimately helped me to make the pulsating banner.
You horrible lot - who visited me so often that I thought I'd give you something special to visit.

I've got a couple more minor modifications to make yet including uploading some seasonal banners to go up when the time is right. But apart from that, I'm finished. Phew, it was exhausting.

*Clapping* Great job everyone!

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 3:18:57 AM

I thought so. With my scavenging skills and their programming skills I managed to get this page feeling just right.

*pulsates at Carol*

Just one thing, the words "The Dark Furie" are underneth the banner.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 3:22:12 AM

Clear ya cache and reload. I've checked it on every browser I can find for free.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 3:35:47 AM

I did, it's still off the banner. Would you like a screenshot? I'm using Opera browser.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 3:52:07 AM

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 3:54:09 AM

I even did F5 after the cache emptied. Still there.

The layout is Excellent Mik

. I can see it was alot of hard work. Well done:hat:

But I can't see the image on the banner on Beta. I'll have to wait till i make it to a pc.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 4, 2007 7:23:30 AM

I can also see The Dark Furie under the banner.

Attila attilasoul # Sunday, November 4, 2007 7:54:23 AM

The Dark Furie is neither in or under the banner here.

Darkogdare # Sunday, November 4, 2007 7:58:59 AM

Everything is ok now

Spaggyj # Sunday, November 4, 2007 9:25:44 AM

Where's my thank you?

For letting you neglect me without (much) complaint???

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 10:15:10 AM

Great!

So... when's the housewarming?

~ Callya ~Callya # Sunday, November 4, 2007 10:16:37 AM

Bad WolfCois # Sunday, November 4, 2007 10:37:43 AM

Guess i'll check it out when i'm on a pc..

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:42:36 AM

I cleared the cache and f5 again still there.

Attila attilasoul # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:43:53 AM

So, I am the only one who doesn't see the Dark Furie?

I guess I should concider myself lucky!

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:49:53 AM

How it looks in IE7 to me. No "The Dark Furie" on here.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:55:08 AM

Did you notice how you banner looks different, in My Opera it's silver, in IE7 Black.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 12:43:39 PM

Um, the banner is an animation. Can't you see that? There's only 4 items on my menu and you're showing 5 on your screenshot. Wonder how that happened? Which version of Opera are you using Carol?

Tilla, any chance of a screenshot on your end?

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 12:50:41 PM

Did you change anything on your banner now? It seems to be loading more slowly than yesterday.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 12:59:28 PM

Yeah, I cut down the frames and used a smaller image. Somehow that made it almost twice as large.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:09:40 PM

Carol, I just got a better look at your screenshot. Looks like your browser is reading fonts bigger than I set them. I've shortened the name of the second menu item so it should work better now.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:13:08 PM

YAY,

It's gone now.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:14:34 PM

Oh...
Well, for what it's worth, it looks great in Opera (desktop) 9.23

However, the icon in the menu covers half the A in A man called Furie.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:26:35 PM

What I don't get now is how it's different in IE7 and on My Opera.
My Opera says:
A Man Called Furie
Chronicles
The Furie's Eye
The Dark Furie

But in IE7 it's:
Blog
Archive
Photos
About

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:29:50 PM

It also seems Opera adds extra padding from the banner down to the post.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:46:39 PM

There are some things that IE can't handle in CSS, like changing the name of menu items for instance.

On the latest version of Opera it displays the same as IE for me, but with the new menu titles.

The menu selector icon's a design decision Rosie. I was considering having a Monty Python style hand instead, but went this way instead. I'm still trying to find a way to change the mouse cursor without people having to download extra stuff.

Attila attilasoul # Sunday, November 4, 2007 1:50:08 PM

I'll make a screenshot for you later. I am on the laptop now, no software for the fun photo making here

Attila attilasoul # Sunday, November 4, 2007 6:05:13 PM

There you go. See? No Dark Furie there.

Dacotah # Sunday, November 4, 2007 6:06:48 PM

FF is the same as IE7 with the wording. On Opera browser it is worded different.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 6:09:22 PM

Yeah, using the Opera browser gives you different titles for the menus thanks to a bit of code I used in the stylesheet.

-demiphonic # Sunday, November 4, 2007 8:58:46 PM

my name's listed ferrr-eeerrssstt, my name's listed ferrr-eeerrssstt

Spaggyj # Sunday, November 4, 2007 9:12:27 PM

Mine's not listed at all.

-demiphonic # Sunday, November 4, 2007 9:29:57 PM

cheer up Spaggyj

....maybe if you were his girl friend or something?.....

..wait a tic

theoddbod # Sunday, November 4, 2007 10:10:12 PM

Spaggyj # Sunday, November 4, 2007 10:59:00 PM

*slap!*
And call me Kimmie!

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:54:17 PM

My girl goes without saying because I'd be nothing good without her. And as such, she's always listed first.

Spaggyj # Sunday, November 4, 2007 11:58:57 PM

LAME! You're just covering your ass before I beat it!

Dark FurieFurie # Monday, November 5, 2007 12:06:19 AM

Spaggyj # Monday, November 5, 2007 12:07:17 AM

-demiphonic # Monday, November 5, 2007 1:11:40 AM

he doesn't put her on the list & I get slapped

Dark FurieFurie # Monday, November 5, 2007 1:14:17 AM

This has always been the way of the Furie, grasshopper. Master karma and it shall divert aggression aimed at you to some other poor sap.

-demiphonic # Monday, November 5, 2007 3:20:33 AM

I've channeled some of that into my "status" all ready

Spaggyj # Monday, November 5, 2007 9:23:39 AM

I saw it! I laughed! Then I punched Mik in the face with laughter!
Okay, I didn't really. I poked him in the niplet.

Spaggyj # Monday, November 5, 2007 9:24:50 AM

Oh, yes, and - *slap!* stop complaining!

Dark FurieFurie # Monday, November 5, 2007 11:29:01 AM

Dark FurieFurie # Monday, November 5, 2007 8:29:19 PM

Right, I think I've fixed that space between the banner and blog. It should work on all browsers now.

r♡serose-marie # Monday, November 5, 2007 8:40:37 PM

It does! I even checked Safari for you.
