Neopian Times Readers Appreciation (NTRA)

[ticktock]

wow guys! thanks alot for ALL of this support, you will all be credited. Even if you only post something on the board giving your support xP
I'll get all those buttons up asap! Tiger sent be a huge amount of buttons that I've been working on putting up.
Pacmanite, the background is absolutely AMAZING!

[Clocky: Activity is a Thing]

Are you still looking for a layout coder? If you require examples, I don't have any for big, full-blown layouts yet.

[Weapon]

Sounds like you've got enough buttons now but I couldn't resist making this one. I wanted to illustrate the, um, well, the... thing. Idea. Anyway, I've put it on my Neo-lookup.



(Are you going to have a hit counter? Only, I'm nosy and would like to see how many visitors it gets. ;3)

[Deleted]

I can create a little banner, if you'd like. :3 Or a few little banners.

[Pacmanite]

Eh, sorry for taking a long time on this layout ^^; It's been busy at school and stuff. Now I'm just putting everything together; and thanks to everyone who let me use excerpts of their writing.

Here's what it looks like now:

SPOILER: Click to show

And these are the quotations I used:

SPOILER: Click to show

There, in the corner of a room, was a rocking chair moving by itself. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. BOOM-BOOM. With each rock, it slammed into the wall...
–icesmith, “The Scary Story: Part Two”

Some kind of... thing with long, hairy legs had just crawled over his feet! It was far too dark to see just what it was, but Kaize fervently hoped that it was a simple Spyder…
– icesmith, “The Scary Story: Part Two”

Those eyes were bluer than the Maraquan seas and more understanding than the eyes of a mother. There was none of the expected savagery nor was there any malice, just a kind, intelligent look that was pleading for forgiveness, as if it was sorry to destroy the Siyana.
–macana, “The Quetzal Ring”

Avalon looked at the necklace. It did look a little different from other Noil Gems. The Noil was made of emerald, and the chain looked like it had been made of sapphire. There wasn't a single print on the glimmering surface, and it felt oddly warm in Avalon's hand.
–cpmtiger, “Avalon and the Emerald Noil Gem”

Jhudora wasn't the type of faerie who would knock on someone's door, so she barged in, flinging the door open with such force that the stone wall cracked.
– vanessa1357924680, “Roomies: Part One”

She shivered. It was a bad idea, she reflected, to run away from home. And to take the shortcut through the woods. And to trip and fall and be too tired to bother getting up...
–goosher, “Snowman”

There was no way that a snowman was moving towards her, dragging itself inch by inch. But, unmistakably, she could see moonlight glinting off the top hat, clear as day. There was no other explanation. She could hear her father’s voice fading in the distance. It was the snowman.
–goosher, “Snowman”

I keep getting the feeling there's something missing. Maybe the header needs to have some extra text in the brown background, incomprehensible, but just for the texture effect of all those letters.

And the bit that scrolls continuously (the parchment at the bottom) seems a little too plain at the moment, but I don't know what to do about it without making the whole thing really hard to loop on itself smoothly. Hmm. Maybe I should experiment with some simple diagonal lines that would help break up the brown in the background?

[Christos]

How about a Coming soon column?

[Goosh]

@_@ That's purrrrrdy.

[Tiger]

=D That's awesome, pacmanite!

Hmm...yeah, I think some lines would spruce up the bottom a bit. Even without them though, it looks wonderful! ^^

[Celestial]

Wow Pacmanite! Once again I bow before your skills. @_@

Some lines are a good idea but don't make them stand out too much, fade them in a little bit. But hey, you're the master. ^_^

[Pacmanite]

Edit: (changed the link, cause the pound wiped the other pet's page clean)

*feeling hyper*

IT WORKS!

IT RLLY WORKS!!

It loops too And the link to the NT works like a charm.


*feeling strangely elated* All right, I'm never doing diagonal-line repeating backgrounds again as long as a live The layout's still not *quite* done yet... I need to add some sort of navigation and change the un-pwnful default Times New Roman font to pwnful verdana (or any other suggestions? I like verdana), and work a little on the section titles, but for now, the biggest bit of the coding's done

Here's the code so far:

It looks really good! And I love the unrolling NT issue animation ;D

Thanks Jade! =D

Still working on it - and don't you worry, writers, I'll make sure there's credit to all of you at the bottom ^^

Oh wow Pacmanite, that is simple awesome! I feel proud to even have a tiny bit of text on such a thing Great job!! Can't wait to see the finished petpage with all the text, etc!

Thanks, Chocolate ^^ And thanks again for letting me use your writing



Well, it's finished...

www.neopets.com/~snicker_weasel

But now I realise something. Poor ol' Ticktock hasn't logged on the NTWF since May. D: And her lookup says she hasn't been on neo for about the same amount of time. I should have checked before I started doing all the coding... D: Now I don't know if she'll ever come back here again. I just finished the longest layout project I've ever undertaken since I last coded H33lix's petpage (and even that was relatively simple, didn't have any tricky, diagonal-lined loop backgrounds or hovering div links). Will it all count for nothing now? D:

Whaaaat?! You must be crazy for sure Pacmanite *takes temperature and puts on ice*

This isn't going to be wasted FOR SURE! A lot of people can read it, even she hasn't be on long!
