Now,
James has a good set of guidelines for making webpages. And I completely agree with him... for the most part. Frames, when done right, create magnificent pages... but that's just me ^_^;; Anyways, his guidelines for creating a webpage should be used by a lot of people out there on the net (mainly those who do too much crap that my eyes hurt... or those who make EXTREMELY ugly pages). Since more and more people have been creating webpages with dazzling browser effects and cookie-cutter javascript, no one has been able to focus on content. Having been around the net communities since... 1995, I've seen sites with excellent content sink under those with flashy lights, bells, whistles, all to hide the fact that they have nothing to offer. Take for instance, my page. I could've added drop-down menus, water/wave java effects on my images, have a lil dog named Brownie chase your mouse all around the page... but I won't. Afterall, like many of my art teachers have said in the past "Less Means More." Ergo, keep your layouts simple, yet effective.
Seri's b-day is tomorrow, so everyone be sure to stop by her
blog and wish her a good 16th! Midterm/finals start next week and I've only barely studied for... half of em. The other half are so easy I don't need to (in ceramics, we're just working on some current projects).
My songlist for today's too large to post. But, I'm currently listening to Billy Joel's "Piano Man". Although I wasn't around at the time, I wish music would take a few hints from the age of the 70's.... either that, or the charm of Lilith-fair-ians such as Paula Cole, Sarah McLaughlin, Meredith Brookes, Sheryl Crowe, etc. Now that was some good music there!
Aside from hassles of school and controlling certain emotions, life is good..... but damn, I like the boy! ;_;
