For the hell of it I thought I'd share the test page. B) The banners aren't final, I just threw something together to get an idea of how big things were and where they'd end up depending on how my rusty HTML skills turned out to be. I'm HTML'd out for a while now though. :yuck:

Looks neat! B) I see you've decided to call the site "Guardian of Forever".

So, are you going to have the Shir'Kahr background for everything? I suppose you're going to use different background for different eras/shows.

I take it that Valentine's Day is the date you're shooting for, then, to open up the site?

Also, are you planning on having a page with links to other websites (as well as a banner people can put on their sites to link back to yours)?

Yeah, that's where the "Links" link will lead to on the main page. :P

And I thought Valentine's Day would be appropriate for this to go public. :biggrin:

Well, the test page link you posted above was for a story and doesn't have 'Links' listed in the menu at the top of that particular page, and I didn't click on the index page. :rasberry: ;)

Poor Chekov, left off the TOS banner...

But seriously, they look nice. Pity the Phlox photo wasn't of him with that same gray wall background behind him as the others, though, on the Enterprise banner...

Does anyone know if a promo photo of him in front of that grey wall exists by chance?

Someone else made these for me, btw. I have neither the Photoshop or PaintShop, nor the skill to operate them, so I'd be pretty much limited to cropping pictures, which is what I did for my first set of banners.

I mention this, because if anyone else thinks they'd be up to the challenge, I'd at least like to redo the ENT banner - 1) because I hate the S1 T'Pol look, and 2) because now that I look at it, it kind of looks like she's reaching somewhere she really shouldn't be. :puke:

Well, the A/T'P fans might disagree with you on that... :lol2: But yeah, definitely would need to change that image...

I'm not sure if Phlox has the grey wall background or not, let me check... The closest I can find is him against the corridor wall (at least of the pictures for sale over at ebay currently)--

Well, no AinT allowed on this site, so I'd hate to encourage them. ;)

I don't think so. At least I don't have it and i think I've got pretty much all there is.

However, there are other promo shots from season three where they stand in either a corridor or at the entrance of some control room. They also have the advantage of not having T'Pol in the carpet catsuit.

BTW, what is the background used for VOY?

And maybe it's my relative large screen, but there is a white part above and below the backgrounds.

I think it must be your screen, KTR. I don't see any white space above and below the background... (I've got a 22" widescreen monitor). What setting is your screen size at?

Nice work, CX. Good to have a new place to look for fic.

Yep, it's probably your screen size, KTR. Mine's 1024x768 and I don't have any white around it...

:shrug: I wouldn't know about the different settings, I just copy-pasted some CSS script and it actually worked better than I'd originally intended by taking up the whole screen, so I have no idea how it works. In my original test I had to come up with a background color to form basically a border around the pic I chose because the script just centered the pic in the background instead of making it fit to take up the whole background.

The background to the Voyager page is the Borg unicomplex, BTW.

To make it so that someone who has a larger screen size (like KTR) can view it without white around it, you'd need to change a line in the CSS script code from this:

background-repeat:no-repeat;

to this:

background-repeat:
repeat-x;
repeat-y;

That will make it repeat the image horizontally and vertically...

I added some menu buttons to the index page and wanted to see what everyone thought as far as size.

They look good to me. :)

Seriously man, that ENT banner is freaking me out... T'Pol's look and... erm, stance... are just not cool.
