Hello x10 Community,

Here's my new site design,
http://renacac.x10hosting.com/websites/2009 Websites/05-17-09/

Tableless, CSS, HTML, and VERY VERY little PHP (lacking).

Rate it and give comments and constructive criticism!

Thanks!

Very nice looking site.

Why is the topbar_logo hidden? And why do you have your footer before your content in your code? Footer is usually the last div, it's just logical.

I hid the logo it because I wasn't using at the moment, so I didn't feel like displaying it.

Also for the footer I wanted it to go in the sidebar and my sidebar DIV is before the main content, so I put it at the end of the sidebar DIV which is before the main DIV.

thanks!

Oh I see.

Also what did you use PHP for? Is it just for the songs and downloads?
I'm guessing the songs comes from a website like last.fm, but how does the downloads thing work? I noticed that all the links go to deviantart, so does it just put the last 10 things you downloaded from your deviant account?

the only php i used was include, i know, kinda lame.

the way the songs & download works are that it's just a list with a DIV box w/ properties:
OVERFLOW: HIDDEN;
HEIGHT: ___px;

so when i add a new item to the sidebar.php, it'll add it to all the pages and bump the list down without stretching the box any taller. So the boxes stay consistent heights but the list updates. (simple)

as for the deviantart downloads, those are just some of my favorites that I link people to that I'd recommend a download.

EDIT: As I am a little weakling in php, my CSS skills are fairly high up there.

Oh =P
Yeah, I think you can do that manually with PHP. I don't know PHP very well (just started learning), but I think it can be done. Not sure with deviantart though, since I'm not sure if they keep a log of what you download.

It's obvious you put in a lot more work in your site than mine, then again I really don't care how it looks right now. Which reminds me, I found a good resource for learning PHP: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627

I just thought of something cool for your site, maybe instead of hiding overflow with CSS. You could create a show/hide with JavaScript. I have the basic code for it on my site (http://craptastic.exofire.net). Maybe have a show more and show less link that will change the height of sotw and downloads. Just a thought though.

btw nice rig (saw your youtube page)
