Phases

Well unfortunately I'm easilly distracted, by shiny websites like NetVibes, which is my new favorite thing on the web, which I'm sure I will discuss at great length at some point. But since I'm back working on the site, I decided to switch to using iframes to manage the site to make it work better, cleaner. But unfortunately, its something I'm still new to. And I want to find a way to fix it that doesn't involve elaborate coding "tricks".

And goddamit I can't get "25% More Monster" and "Robots: The Card Game" out of my head! So please visit Nimland.Net: The Home of Nodal Nim. He's a mean mandolin-slinger.
(Mean as in good, not angry, he's actually quite pleasent.)

Season 3 in Production

Sorry for the lack of posts as always.

I wanted to say I kind of pretended before, but I'm knee deep in making a distinct 3rd version of this website. I've been referring to it at "TheYanni.Net Season 3" for a while, and thinking about it now, that name is accurate. I'm kind of simplifing the site, getting rid of the fluff and starting from scratch, and giving the site a new direction.

The layout will be a bit different, My logo/banner will stay the same, I freakin love that design. Got rid of the sections that never got updated. I'm keeping the picture area but basically dumping it, and am gonna start from scratch with all new pics, and do my best to keep them updated. Gonna keep my stories and articles, but separate them and hopefully start adding more. I'm going through a bunch of my links weeding out sites that don't exist anymore, or sites that suck now. I want to create a better link setup and affiliate more sites I'm friendly with, such as Matty N/t0llenz.

For me when I start a website, i attack it in phases.
The First phase is Idea or Sketch Phase, this is when the idea hits me, I grab a piece of paper, and scribble out the skeleton of how I want the site to look, or write down the main concept for how the site will work

The Second Phase is the Design Phase, this is when I hit the Text Editor, and hammer out the basic skeleton of the site, and get the look and feel for the site down. This is actually the phase I'm in now. I'm trying to get the website to look the way it should, getting everything lined up perfectly, and looking proper. There is a lot of trial and error in this phase because its hard to know or see exactly where everythings gonna fit it, with Season 3 I've had somr happy accidents and a small let downs, but it is coming along. I'm stuck on a small bit right now which is why I stopped and am writting this now, I'll spare you the details as they're probably meanlingless to you :-P, needless to say logical things that should work and make since, for some reason are not....its like math is broken.

More on the rest of the Phases later, once i actually get to those points. For a preview of Season 3 click here, don't mind the text I copied it from a couple places just to serve as a place holder to make sure the text looks correct. So far I've only really tested it in Firefox, so if your looking in IE it'll look even worse probably.
