View Full Version : Is my website viewable?
http://www.fusion-dm.net
I've been told the image won't load, yet it works fine for me, both Mozilla1.7a and IE6.
BTW since I am having you visit, tell me what you think of the planet and stuff if it loads for ya.
YES, I _DID_ USE A LENS FLARE! HAHA! I swore I would never use that damned filter EVER AGAIN, but I wanted the sun to eclipse the earth so I threw on a lens flare, some selected areas of black on different blend modes and came out with a pretty nice effect. I guess the lens flare ain't all that bad, as long as it ain't the damned default version, yuck.
FYI, lens flares are anomolies in lenses caused by... well light relections, that them film people do their uptmost best to avoid. So why use them!? lol ok enough of that.
What do ya think? And does it work for ya? Yes it is still under construction, but teh design and layout will be based on what you see, but will be centered when I finish.

It works for you because it is pointing to a file on your machine file:///I:/Wesite%20Stuff/images/placeholder.jpg

RWB, check the code on server versus at home. Somehow, the site hosting server is looking for an image on drive I: in a folder called 'Wesite Stuff'. I: drive might be valid, but code might need to call the folder 'Website Stuff'??? Been there, got those t-shirts, 60-70 of them from BBS days when you did lots of roll-your own installs of things. Looks like a fubarred local to machine file spec, or possibly code not FTP'd up to server after a local fix-- got THOSE T-shirts also, sorry to say.... :D

Nope doesnt work.
Make sure the file is at this directory:
file:///I:/Wesite%20Stuff/images/placeholder.jpg
or change the link to points to where the file is. Or there could be a permissions problem with that file/folder.
OMG SUCH A NEWB MISTAKE!!!! AGH!
I must go shoot myself now!
Should work now, oh god why am I an idiot! lazy too aparrently ;D
My Macromedia MX 2004 Suite needs a CD Key which I have appearently LOST, so I am bitchinga storm right now cuase I used Mozilla Composer :P So when I get to work on the site's code, I will have to code it all by hand, layers, style sheets, etc...

Ok it works for me. Tried mozilla, opera, konqueror, and links. all work. btw links is a text browser but it can show graphics too.
Links is a Linux thing isn't it?
I can't wait to get into my Advanced Web Design class, I hope to texture a 3D planet and put it into Shockwave and have the Sun eclipse the earth, and having that kind of effect to it. Right now I guess I am still a newb to this Web stuff though... :(
It was also point out to me that the image shows the middleeast predominantly... and I was asked if it had anything to do with current events. I may have to find a different plant image or just alter this one to the point where you can't really tell where the pic was taken from.

Works. Very attractive start. Nice contrast between the black of the background and the blue of the Earth.

Maya can show some graphics also.
What you want for hyperlinks is this kind of structuring:
Fro an upward on host server tree move, easiest is an absolute hyperlink, of the form http://www.johndanielsonii.com/articles.html or http://www.johndanielsonii.com/index.html. that is how I provide a link from http://www.johndanielsonii.com/pctriage/pctriage.html to my main site-- or will, if it is not uploaded yet. BUT, when I link in to the menus, the downward link to the pctriage area will have this which will not hop from here but will on site from main area:
/pctriage/pctriage.html
is used, and the host server happily goes DOWN one directory from the main area into the pctriage subarea of site. The http-etc link from pctriage to main area is an absolute link, pure full URL\URI link. The /pctriage/pctriage.html link is a RELATIVE link, relative to where it is in relation to where server is looking when it is clicked. For pics and parts of pages that are graphics, you can use relative links, and this is what Dreamweaver has done for years. Learn when to use each, and browse a loacl tree that echoes your host tree for ease of debugging.
Move the things you want into your source, or local tree, and then mirror that to the host, or rsync or FTP it up. THEN, your gaffes will be obvious locally also to you before you have embarrassments in public. UPWARD though tree, absolute, downward or within same folder, relative URL addressing.

This site is just a placeholder for now, I have taken classes on webdesign and have my advanced web design class coming up in a couple months. Right now I just didn't feel like coding by hand so I used Mozilla Composer, which really sucks compaired to what I am used to.
Anyways, for what I have written out and drawn... I think that once I am done, you guys should really like it. Hopefully I can get a couple jobs out of it too. Once I learn Advanced Webdesign, I will design a version of this in Shockwave for some nice 3D effects I have in mind, but I am going to wait till that time comes cuase I do have my current 3D project to do still ;)
Just needed a refresher course ;)
I just updated the site with new a new version of the image I made, the other had issues I didn't like and was too large to not scroll if you had a screen res of 1024x768. Today when I get back from class I'll probably get the layout finished and uploaded... even if I have to code by hand. I loost my licence key for Dreamweaver MX 2004 :(
