:D ;) :p

I made most of my sites like this. I guess it works okay.

my whole l33t0r site was made like that

Well thats good news cuz i started mine couple hours ago.


Hey BTW Redeye i like your site. www.whatsthedifference.net
love the way it is layed out.

depending on what version of photoshop you have i dont think you actually have to go into image ready, but i dont know you might in some cases...

Photoshop pretty much sucks at writing html, so what i usually do is slice up the psd, save the images as gifs and the right the code either by hand or use other programs like dreamweaver (which isnt all that great at writing html either). :p

Just thought i would say that... :D

thanks warning.

yeah i believe ps 6+ has the ability to slice. when i did my site i didnt go into image ready, straight in ps, and i didnt need to re write anything. the html came out nice. this winter break from the semester of hell i might be doing a new layout... maybe not, but atleast i will have a huge update of pics. school has been keeping me busy big time.

I never found a reason to use ImageReady as well, the slice tool in Photoshop 6+ is good enough. You're able to edit the output coding for the HTML a little bit (case, quoting attributes, naming of files, etc.) but in the end, I edit the coding to suit my style.

Good tutorial, warning. I like that site - but lost the link - thanks.

I've done it 3 ways - using IR like the tutorial says; hand coded the sliced gif's (you can just crop, save & undo, if you don't have a version of photoshop with slicing capability) - but I'm really loving dreamweaver for making sites now. It's sexy.

lol, dreamweaver doesn't have an absolute positioning tool.....and if it does.......I WANNA KNOW WHERE IT IS! :'(

you just drag out a layer, then use the little white box in the upper left to drag it around anywhere you want.
