About this site
I can't really remember why I started this site.I think it was because I thought it would be cool to have my own website.I chose to do a graphics site because I saw Johanna's website and thought I can do a lot better lol, only kidding. I saw her site and thought it was very cool how she has tons of blends,avatar and blends etc. for people to use for message boards and forums, so I decided to the same and hope that people will also put my blends in their signatures.There are a couple of people who have been enormous help to me- Cherie, Sarah, Flo, Pixie, Emma and everybody else who I havn't mentioned, you know who you are. :)
Past Layouts
Version 1
This is my first layout and of course it was a bit crap.I used my web host's web templete to create this
layout,so i havn't got too much freedom when it came to web site design.
I made the logo myself based on the people that I have on my graphics work.I also had the song "Nobody's Fool" (acoustic version) by Avril Lavigne playing in the background on my main page,but after a while,I myself found it very irritating,so I deleted the background music.

Version 2
This second layout was made and designed by my good friend
Cherie.I really like this layout because of the cool fading
effect of the 4 pics in the middle!It has a very cool menu bar which scrolls down when clicked and i just love the
whiteness.lol
Version 3
I made designed and made this layout all by myself, which I am very proud of. I used a pic of my fave
guitarist- Evan Taubenfeld, as the main theme of my site and i have just started to use frames in this layout.I find it
a lot more neater and takes less time to download the site.
Because of frames,I had to find a host with no advisements along with it and i fortunately found one just in time. I also want to thank Magitek Design for the tutorial on making frames on web layouts.

Version 4
I really like this layout. The basic layout for this is from
Citadel Realm and the thing I really like about it was
how blue it was lol. It just kind of reminded me of space and that's how I got inspired to make my main logo picture.
This layout's theme was actors, therefore that's why I included Elijah Wood, Ryan Philippe and Ryan Reynolds in the logo.
Like the last layout, I have used iFrame as well as CSS. I found that it makes so much neater and the dashed-lined borders helped to serperate out the different contents. Although it took a long time for me to figure out how to put this layout together, I would have to say that this is my fave layout so far.

Version 5
This layout is very basic and simple because i made this very quickly as a tribute for the last ever episode of the TV show
"Friends" (yes, I am a Friends fan). It has just got a simple iframe (as usual lol) and I didn't even have time to do a menu
bar, so i just did placed the texted links in different places using DIV layers. PS- the picture of the layout is not
actually the screen cap of the real layout. I forgot to take a cap of it before i replaced it with a new layout, so the
picture is just a recreation of the actual layout.
Version 6
I designed this layout during one boring Maths lesson- I was just drawing random things and this layout idea came into my
head, so I quickly sketched it down and the final product is this. The main theme for this layout is David Boreanaz (for those of you who don't know who he is, he was in the TV shows "Buffy: the vampire slayer" and the spin-off show from that-
"Angel"). I choose him because me and my friend were talking about him after I had the visual idea of what I was going to make, so if you are reading this, you know who you are ;) It didn't take long for me to create the layout, but the actual putting them all together took me a while. The thing I really like about this layout is the menu nagivation bit on the left hand side- when you hover a button on it, the button itself actually moves up, which I think it's really cool. At first, I really liked the layout, but the longer I had it, the more I hate it because the layout was so big and everything took so long to load. But all in all, I am still very proud of it.
Version 7
Once again, this layout was drafted during my Maths lesson (I don't know why it's always Maths, probably coz I've got nothing else better to do). I had the idea of just a very white layout with clouds because it looked really nice and relaxing. I decided to use only blue and white and made it look simple but not down to the level where it's absolutely crap lol. I really love this layout, maybe it's because it reminded of summer or whatever, but i just really love this cloud-theme.
I used Chad Michael Murray in the main picture because I wanted to use someone cute in it and he was the first person that popped into my head. In the main picture, I wrote a quote from a song called "Daydream" by Avril Lavigne, because this whole layout is very laided- back and relaxing and it seemed relevent to have the lyrics on it. I also liked the fact that the side navigation bar- I again used the cloud-theme to create the headings and I think overall, they made the difference to the whole layout.
This is definately by far (in my opinion anyway) my best layout I have made to date. I would like to say thanks to One Tree Hill Central for providing me with the nessesary pictures of Chad.

Version 8
I wasn't planning on making this layout at all, but after having heard the news that Evan Taubenfeld (lead guitarist) has left the band, I couldn't resist making a layout of him. I made this layout in under 4 hours (a personally best. lol) and it's pretty simple. It's got the usual tables, iframe and the use of p class. But this time, I have decided to put a little summary of what this site is about. So i added information about where this site is hosted at, how many people are actually viewing this site, which version layout it's on and stuff like that. The thing I like best about this layout is the curly line that serperates the navigation bar from the actual content page, I thought it would be a nice change from the usual straight line divider. Many thanks to EvanWorld.Net and Evan-ettes.tk for providing me with the nesscessary pictures and quotes to make this layout possible.
Version 9
I made this layout ages ago, as a good/evil theme with version 7. But due to circumstances, I had to put this layout on hold.
I really like the colour theme for this layout- black and red. I think it made it look a bit mysterious and I was hoping that this layout, in contrast with version 7 (I was suppose to putted this layout on straight after v7, but never mind), gives the feeling of evil and hell. I didn't want it to be too detailed with the theme, because to be honest, I really don't want to get to graphical. Anyway, I choose Angelina Jolie as my main theme for this layout. I think she is an awesome actress and in my opinion, using her for this layout suits the theme quite well.
Again, I used iframes and simple p classes (I just love them!). I had the menu at the centre left of the page and stats and quick links at the right hand side. I think this layout is pretty good (especially for the whole Halloween thing).

Version 10
I thought I'd do something different with this layout in terms of colour theme and just basically something completely usual. I chose some promo photos from the TV show Tru Calling (shame it got cancalled) because I havn't done a TV-show based layout before. Anyway, Once I picked the pictures for the layout, I basically merged them together and played with the colour contrast. Again, I did it to make it have a different feel to the layout. After the contrasts, I added a faint turquoised tiled pattern on it, just to add a little texture to it,
In terms of the contents of the overall layout, I havn't really changed anything. There's still the site stats by the left and an iframe for the main page.
