Thread: 2 pages on line!

I have put two pages out there! - would be happy to have comments at this point because I will no doubt have some more questions down the line!!
Thanks - Lorna www.lornamack.com

Hey Lorna!

The site looks great ma'am! All though your button's. Once my mouse goes over it, it shows a BlueVoda button. You will have to go back in your page and edit your buttons. Once you get there you have 2 different buttons. You have the one on your left which is the one you have on your site now and the one on the left is a mouse over effect. If you do not want a mouse over effect I suggest you put the same button as the one on your left in properties.

Good luck! Site looks great! Good Info!

Nice work! but ditto above about the buttons. Otherwise keep at it you're doing just great!

Thanks!! It's encouraging to have such enthusiasm! I noticed the buttons problem - I'll have another go at them although I don't really understand how it happened like that!
Marincky - if you hate the UK then NZ is the place to be! - been here since 1966. The only place I'd live in the UK is way out in the west of Bonnie Scotland!!
Thanks - Lorna

I would love to live in NZ, would you like to spare me the money to set up home there? ; - )

I think it will be great when you are finished. You're off to a good start. The buttons that work work great and I'll assume that the ones that don't work are still a work in progress. Keep at it.

You are on your way.
Might want to center your pages.

Since I like genealogy and Scotland I will have to visit your site again.

Thanks again!!:>) Am I right in thinking that I saw somwhere, that one can not paste pages from either Word or Adobe? I have numerous descendant charts which would be great to put on the site - as I had hoped to do.
I'll post some pictures of Scotland and NZ in due course!!
Lorna

Of course you can paste from Word....GEEZ, if it were not possible, I would have ended my misery long ago!

(Excel is another matter completely.....wouldn't you know it??)

Thanks - I read something in a forum somewhere - but I obviously got it wrong!! That opens up a whole new world of possibilities! It's always wise to ask - even if you feel a bit of a ....whatever, for doing so!!
Cheers from a rather damp Kiwiland

Great job so far! Look forward to seeing your artwork when you get it posted. Never been to NZ but would love to someday-- i hear its beautiful. Keep up the good work on your site!

Lorna: Looking Great! I can't wait to see some of your art work, as none of those links worked for me. Keep up the good work!

Looks good, I'm sure you are linking all pages together. Some didn't work http://www.lornamack.com/art.html.

All the best

Hi - the links that don't work aren't there yet!
Thanks for the comments :>) G'nite from NZ!
Lorna

BRAVO! I didn't even notice anything about your site!!! While i was there, I just enjoyed learning about you and wished there were more pages to snoop through!

So that tells me your site is:

1. easy to navigate
2. pleasant colors and design
3. good balance of graphics to text (i hate lots of text)
4. engaging subject
5. good loading (i'm on dialup...uggh!)

It is always good when someone sees your design and doesn't notice the elements because the content is so fresh and the style delightful!

I hope mine turns out as nice!

Thanks very much - it's so good to have these comments and your ones -'islandcrazy' - brightened a dull start to the day :>) The weather is miserable, but I'm not! Can't wait to get to my computer in the morning!! I want to find the best way to display my art before I post the first page - I'd much appreciate suggestions as to how this might be done. I thought about thumbnails which when clicked, turn into bigger pictures. That sounds a bit complex for me yet though!
Thanks - Lorna

Lorna, if you send some of your "miserable weather" to Texas (105 degrees in Dallas and no rain for WEEEKS!!!!) I will gladly trade with you! LOL

I, too am going to put artwork on my site. (maybe we can help each other! LOL) I understand there is a photo gallery in Bluevoda that makes doing this very "easy". I haven't tried it yet as I'm still working out the graphics for my homepage. Basically you insert your image and somehow you get a thumbnail and a "click to enlarge" picture. I understand there is also a Pix resizer that will get your images compressed to a size that makes the pages load faster...A MUST HAVE for 70% of the people on dialup like me!!

There are also a couple Tuts out there (by Naval and Andy I think) that teach you how to do an i-frame gallery thingie....

Just do a "search" on the forum for photo gallery and picture gallery and you will find lots of threads on this. Sorry I don't have it bookmarked.


OH, and Bethers (Pinatapalace.com I think) used the photo gallery on her site, too.

Can't wait to see your art! Have fun!

Look forwar to seeing your art, too. My art is not in the modern style. It's, I suppose, fairly conservative and pictorial, by todays standards. I have sold a couple recently however. There are those who like scenery and flowers. I love doing portraits too. Everyting is starting to be somewhat more complex now!!! Thanks for your tips about where to find info. about picture galleries etc.
Cheers
Lorna - ps - you're too hot for me, over there!

If your art is like the cow painting on your site, I will LOVE it! my art is watercolor clipart, not at all like real paintings as yours. When I figure out the picture gallery I will let ya know here in your thread, but don't hold your breath, I'm very slow!

That 'cow' is a 'bull!! - one is one I did for the front page of our regional telephone directory competition about three years ago!! I came in the top four - I'd love to have won the $3000 first prize!!!! The work is all sold for charity and although I bid for mine - I didn't get it!!!! It's a "Baby Bull". We have lots of those in Spring around here! Glad you like it - it is done in pastel.
I'm slow - slower - slowest!!! Happy to work with you on the presentation thing.
Cheers -Lorna

Got 4 pages up there now!! The 'oil paintings' page isn't the way I want it, but it will do for now. The other art pages aren't up there yet - I've made some changes to other pages!! Still got 'genealogy' pages to come.
Happy to have your comments again - please!
Cheers
Lorna

AWESOME! You have been busy and WAY ahead of me! LOL! Keep up the great work! I love the quotes you added at the top. My favorite is the basket of flowers painting--love the bright colors! And i love the rugby player--great perspective!

Anyway, You Go Girl! (american slang!) And do not tell the bull I called him a cow!

Thanks 'Islandcrazy'. I guess being retired gives me more time to get on with it. It's such an absorbing and addictive pastime!!!
Why do you call yourself "Islandcrazy" - do you live on an island? New Zealand is a big collection of islands, as you probably know. I love the maritime climate we have! Bad weather passes over quickly and lots of really clean air!!! Thanks again for your comments! Get on with yours and let me know when you have your art on line!
Cheers
Lorna

Lorna, I love the US Virgin Islands, particularly St. John. We love to snorkel and I'm dying to go back next year. I would like to move there and run a snorkel rental/hamburger hut/bar/iternet cafe/steel drum lounge/...well, you get the picture! I would love to go to NZ someday!

Now, I'm stuck in Soho cart building right now, so it will be awhile before my site is ready. You just keep up the good work...it is inspiring!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I once fell in love with a 100% Scottish lass! Them were good days! Anyway good work on your site thus far!

'Theopod' - Thanks - yes well we Scottish lasses are special!! :>) - mind you, my Mum was a Sassenach!!!
I've added a couple of pages since you were last there - lots more to come, especially in the genealogy area. How on earth do I get a family tree with over 1000 people on to one page???!! I guess I'll work something out.
So glad you like my site. I am applying the 'KISS' principle!!
'Islandcrazy'- well - it's always important to have a goal - even if the goal posts get shifted a bit from time to time. Life is a matter of dealing with all the changes as they come along -and keeping the goal in front.
Enough moralizing!!

Thanks very much - love all your comments. This site has taken me into a 'new world'!
