Help decide the future of Lostinbeta!!!

[lostinbeta]

Ok, this poll is all about the decision on what splash screen I should use for my next version.

You may ask... "What does a splash page have to do with deciding the future of Lostinbeta?", or you may not, but I will tell you that answer anyway. The answer is because that splash page will determine the look inside as well because the colors used with have to be different.

Please note that the winner of this poll may not necessarily be the one I use, but it will help me in my decision if I see which ones most people like and find out why :)

There are 2 versions of each color, 1 version with me, and another version without me.

Thank you to everyone who decides to vote and/or put in input on the subject.

[reverendflash]

I call it "the look & feel" of the site.

I agree, it must start here...


Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Hmm, 2 votes and I didn't vote :q:

Makes me wonder who else did...lol.

But yeah, it does define the look at feel of the site. And it will let me know what I have to change in the layout as well while I am working on it :)

[reverendflash]

It was weird.

I looked to see if anyone voted before me, there were no votes. I then voted, made a comment, changed that comment, and there were 2 votes...

:ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

4 votes now :)

W00t!

[Jubba]

I voted! Can't wait to see the site when its finished. I have to finish up some work on these two sites that I'm making and then I can get started on my own site. :) Good luck Lost...

[lostinbeta]

Thanks Jubba :)

The release is going to be HTML again. I will release a Flash Version for this one though :) (I just need to learn how to design in Flash...lol).


Good luck to you too Jubba :)

[Kitiara]

I think that the grass looks bettr when it has some colour to it, so I voted for version 4 there. I think the other two are a bit too bright, compared to the background. And I like the character. :)

[DDD]

version 4 type 1 I think the colors were more complimentary and seem to mesh together so that is what I voted and why.. They all look nice tho! my .02

[lostinbeta]

Thanks everyone =)

Hrmm, now there is a tie...LOL.

I tie between my two favorite ones none the less :evil:

[yorkshirepuddin]

I'd voted 4 too! Colours more complimentary ... not as overpowering ... blend together ... nice work lost!

[DDD]

4 type 1.....There......I made the decision 4 U. I know how it is when you are stuck between two thoughts equally. You need someone to tip u in a direction. 4 type 1 just flows 2gether.

[Guig0]

I vote for four two, or four four or for one four or for two four or...

kindaof complicated:) hard to vote:P


Kiding! The 4 series is the best!

If you want something personal: 4-1!
If you want something proffesional 4-2!



=)

[lostinbeta]

Yeah, I hope my voting way isn't too confusing.

I might have to do a recount... ya know.. those ballots are too confusing :P

LOL!!!


Thanks guys...

[mdipi]

i voted! get your but up and register to vote ppl! This will effect your whole life! lets go! :P Man i hope the one i voted for wins! :P i think its the best! Lost, whatever you pick will work well!

[lostinbeta]

Hmm, actually this will affect my whole life :o

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mdipi]

well, yes, i can see why, i mean, if you pick the wrong one, and i client is thinking about hiring you, they wont. happend to me...lol j/k

[lostinbeta]

Yep that is actually true :)

I don't really care about clients, I meant, it would be great of course, but my site is also for my personal enjoyment too :)

[Raydred]

Ok i chose the red one. But is the hookers really nessisary?

Oh wait!.. *nervouse chuckle* wrong Poll...

lol =)

[mdipi]

hmmm....lost, 4,1 is good for a quick glance, but the longer i look at one, the more i relize it blends in...just some more input for you to think about...

[lostinbeta]

Good thought mdipi :)

Definitely something to think about when making my final final choice :)

[h88]

I voted 4 type 1, just to give notice.

[mdipi]

h88 i did too, but see i just started to stair at 1,1 and it doesnt look all that bad, but that is after a while of looking at it. Splash pages are usually fast, so maybe you should put 4,1 as the splash,and 1,1 on the inside. that would look good, you spend more time inside then out, correct?

[lostinbeta]

I am actually still reworking the inside guts :)

Not sure if it will be like the splash page exactly or not. Right now it is, but I have ideas kickin' around in my head :)

[h88]

Yeah Mdipi, 1,1 is matching the pants, well, i did'nt notice that, i think i changed my vote now. :)

[lostinbeta]

tisk tisk... too late to change your vote now :P

Shoulda thought harder about your choice in the first place :evil: :P



hehehe

[h88]

My Bad, i'll make sure next time. :P

[mdipi]

1.2 is eye catchy too! :( i like 1.1 1.2 4.1...although, now 4.1 looks to pastale-y........

[reverendflash]

I wanna change my vote too!

I choose #5 - none of the above

I say create more, give me more of a choice...

More I say!

:P

[mdipi]

Lost, mad props right here! I am so frusterated with AI, its so hard! i like my PS more... now i gotta try FW...

[lostinbeta]

Rev... There are 8 versions to choose from, whaddaya mean make more!!!!!!!

mdipi: Illustrator isn't that hard from what I have seen, but all I really have done are little characters...LOL. I still need to try out Fireworks, I think I might do that tonight =)

[reverendflash]

lostinbeta:

just in a pesky kinda mood...

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Hehe, yeah I noticed with the way you are with Phil :beam:

I guess I shouldn't press your buttons :-\

:::press:::

hehehe

[reverendflash]

For a while I lay in a sort of pleasant trance.
Presently, after lying quietly for some minutes, I opened my eyes and looked upwards. As I did so I made out a brilliant little dot, at the extremity of this long, gigantic telescope.
It was a star without scintillating rays. According to my
calculation, it must be [lostin]Beta in the constellation of the Little Bear.
After this little bit of astronomical recreation, I dropped into a
sound sleep.


by Jules Verne - A JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH - 1864

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

LOL, Ironic... for a personal reason :)

Thanks for that quote Rev =)!!!

I never read the story, but I might now :beam:

[reverendflash]

it's a great story...

you need to take into mind Victorian mindsets, but still a great story, and a great writer...

You've pegged my interest in the irony... care to elaborate?

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Hmm, well.....

My beliefs and such are strongly influenced by Native American beliefs because of my parents.

My Dad was the first person to get me interested in science, space such. And one of the first constallations he showed me was little bear.

We were in Maryland and we had his telescope.

[reverendflash]

As my Grateful friends would say:

"Trippy, thanks for sharing"

Cool story, you're right, it is ironic...

:beam:

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Yeah... brings back good memories

[reverendflash]

I just found this:

"<i>Merlin, in his malice, has woven a spell about this dungeon, and there bides not the man in these kingdoms that would be desperate enough to essay to cross its lines with you! Now God pity me, I have told it!

Ah, be kind to me, be merciful to a poor boy who means thee well; for an thou betray me </i><b>I am lost!</b>"

1889 - A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT - by Mark Twain

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Eh, not as good as the first one.

Although I am really into Merlin, Mythical, Fantasy type stuff...lol.

[reverendflash]

tuff room...

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Yep.

:P

[morse]

Lost, take the 3 most popular and use some JS...

I don't know it, but its something like...

// Example: // randomImage(['0.gif',50,50,'1.gif',25,25,'2.gif',50,25]);

randomImage
(imgArr) { var imgSrc, imgW, imgH, r; r = randomNumber
(imgArr.length / 3)-1; imgSrc = imgArr[r * 3]; imgW = imgArr[(r * 3)
+1]; imgH = imgArr[(r * 3)+2]; document.write(''); }

[lostinbeta]

I know how to make a random script in JS morse :)

My way is definitely different from yours though :-\

I don't think I am going to make it random though. Still haven't decided on that.

[morse]

:) Glad you do, cuz I really don't, I just have the script :)

[lostinbeta]

LOL :)

[morse]

...it comes with Dreamweaver.

[lostinbeta]

LOL, leave it to dreamweaver to make such code more difficult that it should be :-\

I never use dreamweavers code because it is like... uneditable to the untrained eye....LOL.

[reverendflash]

just curious lost:

do you know of a diff. wysiwyg editor which is easier to read for the untrained eye?

I have a couple of friends who might be able to use that...

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

Ermmm, I use dreamweaver, but I code fully by hand. I use dreamweaver for the color coding of PHP, Javascript and HTML and how it shows me where errors are and such.

Every WYSIWYG editor I have seen that does things for you has produced unreadable code.

[reverendflash]

that is the same conclusion I have come to...

thanks,

Rev :elderly:

[lostinbeta]

No problem :)

[morse]

Rev, I dunno but Frontpage is relativly easy (I think).

[reverendflash]

Morse:

ease is not the issue, readability by the untrained eye was the question...

DW is easy... but thanks for the input (I have never tried FP).

Rev:elderly:

[thediablo]

i voted!

:D

Version 4 Type 1

is it to late:P


heh

[lostinbeta]

Nope, it's not too late :)

Still working out the insides of the site, so until then... this poll will be kept up...lol.

Thanks :beam:

[h88]

Am i allowed to change my vote? http://www.avalon-rev.dk/kirupa/new2/really.gif

[lostinbeta]

nope :P
