Idea for a site, simple layout right now...

again, just playing around:

I think I am going to go with something like this, but still not sure. How do I get it to stay big? I mean when you go to it, it shrinks instead of making a scrollbar?

now the splash page

Also, how would I get it up in the corner, since I know nothing of html, I'll just make my brother fix it tonight. Also, I still don't know why it keeps shrinking. Maybe if I import it into flash.....

hey dude i think you ought to have a focal objective in the graphical treatment of your website, it seems to me that you are experimenting with filters and not having any idea what will be the final outlook of your site.... thats nothing wrong with it but confirming your final outlook and graphical treatment will make your life easier instead of having to fret over what to do next and then.....

just a rough guideline, websites are usually dimensions of 800 by 600, or 1024 by 768(pixels). This is to cater to other user's screen resolution ( which i am informed that it is usually the standard screen resolutions of most web users).

Sometimes websites can be opened in a new user specified window size. Check out this link for an example

Overall i like your concept and hope that you b able to get your website up real soon!

point of note - minimum with chrome and scrollbar (vertical) is if memory serves me right (gulp) ... 744 x 410. Obviously you can design 'below the fold' but all navigation and important areas should be in the space instantly viewable by your chosen min resolution.

you made that with paint?? well then it's awesome!!

i dont know about the rest of these guys but i like it, especialy the fact that you made it with paint. good job.

Firstly, what program did you use to add the lensflare? Also how did you create the drop shadow effect in paint? Perhaps you could detail your steps so that I can get a better understanding of your method - I have never seen paint used as well as this
