Adding a tiled image as a web background can sometimes cause a
continuous repeat of the image, making the page look confusing and
unprofessional. A simple code can fix the issue.
The above image is named "scrollcandle.jpg." In order to stop the
background image repeat, use the following CSS code (placing the name of
your image in the brackets following url):
<style
type="text/css">body{ background: url(scrollcandle.jpg) black
center no-repeat fixed; } </style>
Using the code will allow the background image to display as follows:
The properties of the code can also be adjusted to fit the background
of your web page. For example, "black center" can be changed to color
and alignment suited to your needs.

Creating personalized logos and buttons can sometimes be a challenge,
but they are also great fun.
Historical Essays
is our latest:
The intent was to create an "antique" feel to the logo to accurately
depict the advertised content. Each essay in the
five-book
collection reached back into history to include
Jack the
Ripper,
US
Political Parties,
Billy the Kid,
Anne Boleyn
and the Loch
Ness Monster (for which we also designed the book covers).
For the logo we began with a black slate, inserted the essay covers
in a row and then saved it as one new image. After applying various
backgrounds (glow, saturate, grungy and
parchment), the above image became the final logo.
The border style of the logo is known as "wizard's book,"
which can be found within the
Smart Photo
Editor software program.
Forwarding pages are often used to re-direct people to a specific web
page that has moved or for one reason or another, has been renamed.
We recently designed a forwarding page for a new client. She wanted
the page to forward automatically, so we devised the following:
The snippet used to forward a page needs to be placed between the
<head> and </head> portion of the html code:
<meta
http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;url=https://www.advocare.com/110918645/default.aspx">
In the above code, 5 represents the number of seconds before
the page forwards. You can change this to any length of time you prefer,
such as 3 (for three seconds). The url (also bolded above) needs
to be replaced with the exact web address of where you want the page
forwarded.
It's as simple as that!
We recently completed a new photo gallery for the pet-related web
site
Rainee's Parade. A logo for the gallery comes as part of the
package.
Constructing flash photo galleries is one of
our specialties,
and we love nothing more than creating special galleries for beloved
pets as well as people and products.
As with all of our photo gallery projects, we provide personalized
logos for each gallery published online. This is our latest in the
pet-related-books category, which comes from the newly-launched web site
for the Short
Tales Collection:
We began with a blank image using a black background. When designing
a new logo from scratch, we like to begin with a clean slate. Typically,
we add desired text first. For the
Short Takes Collection
logo, we used the
Trajan font in a mixture of gold and yellow colors. Next, we
inserted the "paw-line" image to separate the main text and the author's
name. Lastly, a border was added to accentuate text color and overall
design.
The border style is known as "homemade frame," and can be found
within the
Smart Photo Editor software program.
In relation to the
Short Tales Collection logo,
we recently created and published a new online photo gallery titled
Foofer's
Life in Pictures. The gallery depicts the life of the main character
in the Short
Tales Collection of books.
The following logo was also created for the gallery:
The border style is known as "ghost," and can be found within the
Smart Photo
Editor software program.
We created a new logo for the political blog
Sagacity
yesterday:
Sagacity
is hosted by
Blogspot,
which allows users to insert their own text and/or graphic headers. In
order for the logo to fit into the allotted space, we
adjusted the size
of the logo to 710 pixels (width) by 285 pixels (length).
