Post subject:  Herenya's Ramblings - new layout

I thought I might as well tell you about my site, Herenya's Ramblings. http://www.freewebs.com/herenya/

I guess it's a personal site - it's got stories and poetry I've written, some graphics... and another random stuff. And I've gone all inarticulate about it. Great. Anyhow, it exists. :blink:

I would be interested to know what people think of the picture I'm using as a background. Does it look too odd? :confuzzled:

I love it! :) But that might be because I am a bit too patriotic, and am relieved to see something that is not American-influeced. ;)

It doesn't look too bad.
But if you want constructive cristisim... (ie, being told it could be better. lol)

Maybe it takes the focus a little bit off the main bit. You could add a layer of white over it, with a really low opacity, just to fade it out a bit.

But you dont have to change it. :) If I really think about it, I'd say it looks absolutely fine. Maybe I shouldnt think as much. :P I keep changing my mind.

Ha, my patriotism in all it's glory...
Fading it a bit is a good idea! I hadn't thought of that. *runs off to try it* Thanks! :)

Oh I like it, a very cool site :-D

I like the way you've got graphics from books as well as films because not many sites have them. I also think the background picture works well.

The only thing that would improve it would be not to have 2 scroll bars. Either have an I-frame that fits on a compter screen with out scrolling or don't use I-frames.

Yes, the scroll bars one is ... yes, i know, i know... *sighs* I'll figure it out one day...

I changed the layout. I don't know what on earth I think of it anymore, because it feels like all I've done in the last two days is stare at it... I'm feeling rather sick of it, which is pretty pathetic. And it's kind of frustrating because this sort of thing isn't my strong point at all... and I can't always get it to do what I want it to..

So comments/constructive criticism probably would be nice...

Nice site, Herenya! I just visited it today for the very first time, and I'm positive I'll return there again before too long. I love the layout, the feel of the whole place, the fonts you've chosen, the graphics. The only thing is that I can't see some of the text on a couple of the pages, and I don't know if you've just not written there or if it's something else, but I thought you'd want to know that.

Thanks for visiting Ivy, and for the lovely comments! :)

Oh, really? Which pages? Hm...

You do know that the recent series of Docter Who were/are filmed in Cardiff, don't you :) It's at times like these that you're proud to be welsh

My brother's friend's mum is the producer for the recent series of Docter Who :)

My other brother's ex-girlfriend saw Billy Piper (she plays Rose) in Sainsbury, she went up to the till my brother's ex-girlfriend was working at

Really? Cool... :)

Yeah, it says "BBC Wales" at the end of the episodes. It sort of explains all the Cardiff jokes, so long as you know where Cardiff IS. (I finally figured that one out... :blink: )

It's the pages entitled "Herenya" "Misc" "Stories" and "Poetry."

Oh. :confused: I'm not sure why... it's probably to do with the iframes. They work for me... hm. Thanks for letting me know!

I've put up a new layout, and following Elanor's advice, I got rid of the two scrollbars. It should also mean that the pages that weren't showing up for other people (Ivy, you weren't the only one with that problem) shouldn't be a problem.

I've also added a lot more graphics. So... yes, please check out my site and tell me what you think! :D

Also - would anyone be interested in affliating with me?

Looks awesome Herenya! I love that new free lay. Is it for LJ?

Author:  Herenya [ March 23rd, 2006, 5:13 am ]
Post subject: 

Thanks! It's for... whatever, really, and would work for anything that allowed html, I think. :)

I love the new layout, it's really pretty :) And the new banners are great. I'll affiliate with you if you'd like to.
