Paintballing was fun!

Yeah, it was actually really, really fun. Got shot about 5 times, once so close the danger zone (balls). Going to be posting more often now, due to the fact that i’ve stopped doing some things in life. 

I also play on habbo.co.uk a bit now, so if you want to add me: Py3.

GRR @ GROUNDED

Just sucks doesn’t it, being grounded. You get grounded for no reasons what so ever, then argue, and get grounded even more. Think it’ll be better to keep my mouth shut from now on. 

On the upside how ever, HabboART is going to be opening with a new layout soon, and our bandwidth has been upgraded also, so there is no more pesky downloads!

New keyboard & Mouse

This keyboard is pretty awesome tbh. All the keys are programmable, and they are quiet touch, so my constant touch typing won’t kill my mum while she’s watching Heroes downstairs. The mouse is an average mouse, nothing too good or too bad about it. It had 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. It’s also a wireless keyboard as well. I bought these to replace my old keyboard/mouse which conveniently died while coding for HabboArt.com. 

You can get it from Argos.co.uk for £29.89, quite a reasonable price I think.

HabboArt Previews

The much loved HabboArt is back with a new owner: Dan, and a new site techie(yours truly), we’ve got a brand spanking new layout for the new release of HabboArt and these are the previews that have been released to the public. 

Yes, that is all the previews that you’re going to get given! We don’t want to give away all the surprises now do we? All I can say is, this is going to be the best Habbo resource site that you can find :)

We can say that there is going to be plenty of things for you brilliant supporters to use!

Coding in Divs/CSS

Callum, a founder of a project that I work on, has posted a great tutorial on how to code in divs/css. The original post can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/y27qzfa

Most new people want to know how to do this so… I’ll make a little tutorial. I’ll start off with a simple box, then when I have more time, I’ll choose a layout off of HabboEmotion and code it. Let’s go!

Step One - The Image
For the sake of this tutorial we’ll be using this simple content box found on Habborator.


I recommend you save this image if you’re following the tutorial



Step Two - Slicing
We need to turn this image into 3 images, a header… the top blue bar, the middle bit, which will repeat upon expansion and the footer. I’m going to use photoshop ut I do believe you can use Fireworks or even Paint.

Select the Slice Tool: 

Now, using this tool select the top bar

 

(Note: I have zoomed in)

After you have done this, right click on the slice (with the slice tool still selected) and select ‘edit slice options’) a dialogue box will appear. Next to Name: Give the image a name.. I shall call this slice header.



Now… we must do the same for the other bits.

The Middle Slice should be 1px… this is not compulsory but will give you a more fluid expansion later on.

Welcome to my blog

Hi! I’m Liam and this is my blog. I’d create a tumblr theme for myself but I can’t design and don’t wish to hire a designer to do all that work for me. I’m a web developer, I code in (x)HTML and CSS, along with PHP & MySQL. I post on forums, and try to make money by developing websites for people.

This blog is hopefully going to be the tool to post things that interest me, along with tutorials, images and video’s that are pretty darn interesting. I’ll also be posting updates of the projects that i’m working on, along with short, but brilliant, picture reviews. I hope to blog on here everyday, but knowing me, I probably won’t.
