For example:should bebecause it will only be used once. > - The syntax of your CSS is wrong, check out this [tutorial](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp). For example: text-align center should be text-align: center; > - When using the property "font-size" it's best not to use the value "large". Specify a pixel value like this: font-size: 16px; > - In CSS there's something called inheritance which means the child object will inherit all of the parent objects properties. If we put the "font-family" deceleration in the body selector the "blog" div will inherit that font. This means that we only have to specify it once in our code. > > **I also tidied up your code and gave you a few example CSS declorations for you to play around with:** > > >!

I'm working on a sort of "Blog" element for my website and what I have currently is Some HTML but no working CSS. I always have failed with css. So here is the html so you may see what it looks like. >! ``` >! Post title Posted &date by poster Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. [url]Link To this Post[/url] Tags >! ``` And here is my fail at CSS so you may be able to see what I'm trying to do >! ``` .blog { text-align center font-family: 'Oxygen', sans-serif; } .post { text-align center font-family: 'Oxygen', sans-serif; } .head { font-family: 'Oxygen', sans-serif; text-align center font-size large } span.head { font-family: 'Oxygen', sans-serif; font-size small } >! .foot { font-size small } >! ``` From the fail CSS you may be able to see what I'm trying to do, any help on this would be appreciated

@Yui: > It would be appreciated if my name was correct ^_^ And, I'm a guy. eh, sorreh? i fixed it though :3 @Yui: > Well, it seems to me that you're new to Photoshop? If you ain't, you should be able to define the things I've used. I've had cs2 for just under a year, so, yeah I'm pretty new ^_^ @Yui: > But let's talk about improving it. The font is generic. Use something else :3 Do you have any suggestions? @Yui: > And don't be afraid to play around the filters. They do most of the job for me. I think I'll try :3 this is my first try at something like this, so i'll try to work em' out next time

A while ago Yui [Juvanio] started a topic [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,79104.0.html](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf2/index.php/topic,79104.0.html) about some position tags he had made in photoshop, I immeadiately thought they were awesome, but, there were some ones I wanted customized for my forums. So, this afternoon i set out to make some of my own, and now i have them done! They are similar and different to Yui's tags, and i hope you like mine. PREVIEW! >!  PSD! >! [DOWNLOAD!!](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/41a5c35d28cb584773fbd7ff37ffa6a0.psd) For these i used the Consola Mono font [http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/consolamono](http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/consolamono) Please tell me what I do to make them better

This is very nice! You did an amazing job on these, keep up the good work

Would I be Allowed to use this for something other that an EO or CS:DE game? Do you mind if i take the source from the demo?

At first I was like @Ep5i10n: > Wtf? :confused: But then I was like @Ep5i10n: > Oh, hes a troll :P

@Fuu: > eggs if we are talking about how to prepare them, i like em' deviled, but otherwise, yes, eggs.

@Aeri: > It doesn't really look like anything. It just looks like a shoddy, splattered gradient. Try defining it with texture rather than different coloured blobs. so, like a height map?

@Jungle: > Eh, that just looks pillow shaded now.  here, I removed most of the gradual shading that i put in

@Jungle: > lul, it looks like Australia. That's much better than the previous tries. Try toning down the colors just a bit because it looks like the saturation is up too high. Also, the lighter colors in the ocean should be closer to shore so it looks like deep and shallow water. thanks, ill try that Edit: I tried what you said. 

@Gamzee: > Looks good this time. But what's with the trees now? >  > like this? i didnt add any trees

@Gamzee: > I'm sorry for that. -bows- > I consider that the Fuzziness at the edges of the first one and the whole island on the second one diminish the impression of an actual Island. Second Point: Islands don't show up colors like this. Ever saw a real tree glowing neon-green? Or a beach in a dark blue like that? Nope, I think. > Third point: I would like to give your second "Island" the attribute "ducked up" because it gains the mistakes you've done in your first image. Fuzziness, and wrong colors. > No offence. okay, i will try better with that Edit: I tried to make it look more like a desert island, but, it looks like it has an STI now… 

@Eckhart: > What is it? It is a map view of a few islands

Just a fun drawing for practice type stuff…

[](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#bdba9ef7de2a2475350a8e31322ac717.png) This one was my first attempt and turned out looking kind of cheesy and flat. [](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#84bbcba06ec47f4f8eb8989783155bae.png) This was my second attempt, it also doesn't look quite as good, i feel that it looks better though… Any kind of criticism is accepted and i will take you suggestions into consideration :)

@Juvanio: > PSD plox?, it would be amazing if we could get that lol. Another thing, can i use these on my game dev forums? k, thx :cheesy:

PSD plox?, it would be amazing if we could get that lol. Another thing, can i use these on my game dev forums?

The thing i dont understand is that all of these damn politicians sit in their offices fapping to lesbian porn, but then they say that homosexuality is wrong and therefore gays cant marry.

@Robin: > My opinion is that anyone who honestly thinks giant black lines based around pure white with half-centralised text on a horrible blue square has absolutely no artistic taste at all. > > If you think that's acceptable as a piece of art then you're not willing to push yourself to meet the basic aesthetic requirements that all pieces need to meet which further leads me to the conclusion that you're not going to push yourself to improve as an artist and thus will never make anything more acceptable. oh, i always love reading your posts, no matter how negative they are :3

Okay, thanks :cheesy:

i made some buttons in Photoshop recently, they are my first attempt so I **want** you guys to criticize me on every last terrible detail of them so i could possibly improve in the future :cheesy: Download: [http://explosivepixelgames.com/files/Button1.psd](http://explosivepixelgames.com/files/Button1.psd) Preview:  Again, please criticize me on these, be as derogatory as necessary. I would appreciate the help ^_^

@Aeri: > Compile the client and server. OHZ!! Sorreh, ish such a noob

@Annahstas: > ' > > Yup the link is dead? Do you have another link for us to see? Kinda, there's something like it, its in Japanese, but there are pictures so you wont need to translate it. [http://www.geocities.jp/kurororo4/looseleaf/](http://www.geocities.jp/kurororo4/looseleaf/)

Vps?
