ok, this is my first attempt ever at making a site and I'm getting on quite well. The thing I can't get right is the animatoins using xara. I see loads of sigs using them and the qualitys great, so what am I doing wrong?
The animation looks amazing in xara but when exported loses all its quality, can anyone help?
My site
honestly, this is not done for hits, I really do want to create a good quality site (yes, using shitty geocities :( ).

do you mean the letters swelling in the img http://www.geocities.com/trshadysworld/tr.gif?
that gif is huge man
something isn't right
for the limited effect i don't think the file weight is justified as it doen't add content
i'd recomend using MM fireworks for animating and optimizing web graphix
i imagine xara has a very wizard interface 'type text here' 'select animationstyle' etc. fireworks is a real pixel mill so you'll never need to get anything else for the net but may have a learning curve compared to xara
pallette bredth and the way the image is anti aliased will also effect the visual flavor of the gif
also [b] & <font> tags are being depreciated so use [i] & [b] rather than [i] and [b] and use CSS to style your text [also get cool control of links and scrollbars] also too many empty
s
try to use logical heirarchic tags like the heading tags better
shame it's all M$, beware of the fuz :ph34r: and view source :lol:

Thanks for the reply and advice :) , I'm using ms frontpage and only no basic html so the second paragraph made no sense to me :unsure: . I suppose I'll try fireworks as you recommend but the sigs on this board look excellent and thats using xara so I wanted to know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks anyway :)
btw, that link to the pic don't work but yes it's the animation at the top of my page.

yeah the link is weird
initially i just put in the url of the img without bb tagging it as a link and the board automatically made it a link which didn't work :huh:
so i edited the tagging so it was a link and it still won't work :o
but if you paste it into your browser it does work <_<
some kinda referer detection i guess
you've gotta learn html, it's the bottom line of this web thing and soooooo basic and microsoft aren't good people to learn from so be careful :lol:
read alistapart to see how crazy it can get while learning some helpful advice :D

Fucking Hell. That image is huge.
-
ok, changed it back, and undergone major revamp.
Getting mm studio now, that should help me. :)

Hey TRshady i hate to be a downer but as soon as geocities(yahoo) finds that your hosting roms on your site they shut you down.
-
damn, I was hoping this weren't true :( , oh well ...... rush and get 'em! :)
I need a good hoster butcan't find any :(
Can you see any ads when you visit my site?
It seems I have none :)
oh, I hate geocities. And all I want to do is help others :'(
-
to find a host for that kinda game you'll need to find someone with asian or eastern european language skills to help you register where they don't worry so much about copyright
