Salut tout le monde!

I have been reading the character biographies on the forum, which all of them were of a tremendous interest to read. Well what I'm trying to say is that I had some spare time, learned a tad about web page creation such as html, which to me is still quite confusing :? lol.

I retouched the website I had with the knowledge I gained, it is not really much, in overall it has been easy when you're reading what to do and have the tools premade in front of you but ... it's my very first attemp at making something anyway lol. Have a look and tell me what you think, be sincere I can handle alot :lol:

Either way, I thought having more detailed information about my character could only help others to roleplay around me.

Here is the address

Beautiful, sweetheart, beautiful :!:

An exquiste image done with black and white, delicate and fragile, shy and sensuous. You couldn't have chosen a better representation of it. :wink:

I found the site easily navigated and easily read. With my eyesight, it is often difficult to read when the contrasts are so marked as to swallow up the dialogue I'm trying to peruse!! :(

I only have two complaints and one of them is not entirely your fault. That one is the Geocities box that pops up there. I find them an extreme nuisance and have yet to find a way to get rid of it completely from what I'm viewing.

The other is in the Writing section (not to be confused with the overall home page in my inability to scan it with ease). It would be easier to read (again for my aging eyes) if the addition's paragrahs or vocalized sentences were not all run together. I don't know much at all about websites and graphics, so perhaps it must be this way to save on space? I'd much prefer the style of format as that of the SoC board for my own reading pleasure, but then, that's a personal preference and not that of the overall group here.

Over all, I loved it! :D

Thanks ! :)

Nothing can beat SoC's forum if you ask me. I have modified it somewhat a little by spacing text with paragraphs and making the letters a tad bigger, it is way less harder to read now thank god lol.

I have no criticism to offer! The site, as Trish said, is gorgeous! Well done!

If I may make a [b:c431dadefc]suggestion[/b:c431dadefc] however (keeping in mind that criticism and suggestions are different and this somehow helps me retain my nice guy image in my own mind :) ) first the main tabs to the left? Story, Journal, Writing, etc. The purple didn't seem quite dark enough to me to fit the rest of the page ::shrugs:: Just an opinion. And secondly the marker that pops up when you highlight, you know, the little crosshairs? I would change that as well. Just a thought!

Heh! I found the cross-hairs, as a cursor, distinctly different. Took me a moment to two to realize that they WERE the cursor. hehehe

Perhaps you've yet to come up with an icon befitting your image? Hmmm...wonder if maybe you could use a rose, an ankh, a cross. How about a closed fan or one even partially closed. If other sites and games can have cute mousies, arrows (real-type arrows with fletched feathers), cars, fish, etc...... Then surely the graphics site would have some sort of icons to draw from or even for you to create. :D

Merci :)

I really appreciate the comments and suggestions, at least it allows me to know what could be modified and made better, I thought of changing the color of the text to a darker purple too, I probably will now :).

The cursor I'm still browsing, was hoping to find a rose, but I just can't seem to find any, does any one knows a site where I could find one of those ?
