[Quint's Scrapbook] New Start on a New World

[Sinoa]

soothing colours would be nice, that yellow is a bit too bright.

Okay this is me playing with the box Abstract sent me.

I'm going to play with size, webfonts and alignment.

This is my 100th post

Thank you Abstract!

Thank you Abstract!

I'm going to be studying this Gossamer box, too.

[Sinoa]

I would look for some background images of water or waves instead of a solid blue square. it could make a nice border or you can add the transframes in there (I love me some transframes) I only started doing this stuff recently but it's pretty fun.

Now here's the original JT creation above.

And here's my first attempt at tweaking it below.

Now I must be a strict Blackstaff for a moment. One thing I must caution all people who play with boxcodes: Please, please be sensitive in what you do, and never ever steal a boxcode to use in your own IC posts! Someone I like and admire was upset that her work was plagiarized. Do not do this! Either be creative, or ask for permission! Rhys, myself, and others support her right to her stuff and we'll walk out of our own threads-- waking or dreaming-- before we condone OOC theft. I hope this is a single anomalous incident so I'm not letting it tinge how I feel about Mizahar; this is the first site I've seen where so many people treat each other with respect as writers, artists, and as people.

Okay, so the word px increases the width in the first bracket. Not sure what padding did except shift everything to the left. Border does what indicated, it increased the 1px pink line to a 20px pink ribbon. f85c97 is a color; I don't know them off the top of my head so I tweaked that to basic red.

Now I play around a bit more. Oh, I missed it-- the word 'width' apparently controls the width. Apparently, any picture can be substituted for Gossamer's picture, though surprisingly I haven't found the code that puts the signature word 'Gossamer' itself at the bottom.

Let's try again.

Now I have completely transformed this boxcode into my own unique style. I still need to play around with making it prettier but now at least I have a more basic understanding of the core concepts.

Ooh - can I throw out a few comments?

One the version of mine - you might want to increase the sizes of some of the fonts, as they're kinda unreadable. Also, the red and blue don't go well together. Make the border the same color as the font, in my opinion.

I like the version of Goss'... but one thing: the image sticks out the side. Also, the red doesn't ENTIRELY go with the picture. Try and pick one of the colors in the picture, so it all fits together.

The green/yellow one... the colors are a little too... vivid, in my opinion, so maybe pick toned down versions? Or maybe Dark and pale green (same shade), or dark green and black, or dark green and white. Also, the pink font/banner at the bottom do NOT fit in the slightest. Pink and green? *shudders*

Finally, for your last one... the colors don't really work. The yellows are again, a little too bright. I also don't like yellow, so I might be biased.... The pink font also does NOT fit. At all. The avatar and siggy at the bottom are pretty awkward too...

I made a version of that one, if you like it

Now I have completely transformed this boxcode into my own unique style. I still need to play around with making it prettier but now at least I have a more basic understanding of the core concepts.

I changed the colors, removed the bottom image (it didn't fit), and shrunk the width a bit... 800px is a little excessive, and sticks off some people's monitors

I like it! Thank you! It just needs my name or some such quote somewhere, but it is very nice at it is.

Padding is the space between the border and text. You can specify top bottom Robby or left. No specification means all the way around.

Just me testing that I understand how tables work in BBcodes.

All right. I'm a man of my word. As I mentioned in my blog, I am going to design a fan-site for Mizahar. To that end, I acquired myself a page and put up some temporary content so that if someone stumbles upon it, they might already get a little intrigued.

This is strictly an informal fan-site, but it has links to Mizahar, and it has links to Amazon so people can look at the Races book.

Quint's Mizahar fanpage

It's not finished yet. There's going to be many more pictures and posts, as well as side pages where I point out some interesting features that I enjoy about Mizahar. (The how-I created-my-character will be moved to a side page.) As I mentioned in my blog, the goal is to go live in January, once I've been here for two months and have some idea what I'm talking about.

But you have to start somewhere. Once I'm done with Nano I'll have more time to devote to it. For now, it's a start. If you have fansites of your own, let me know and I'll link to them as well.
