Your design is beautyful like this. Please, don't listen to those who told you to revamp the colours!! The foggy effect gives an oniric feeling to the site. Exactly the same feeling Stina's music provides.
Good luck!

I sincerely don't understand why people think that scanning is a kind of copyrighted thing. It's not like you were the photographer.
A so called journalist who has one of the most known Brazilian sites stole some pictures I scanned, but the thing that really annoyed me was that she took all the news from my site without citing the source and that was my own work, not the scanned pictures.

In some cases it would be polite to credit the scanner, but a person who scanned a photo he/she doesn't really own the copyright for can't demand anything - but may of course ask to be credited.

Read what Kuhn wrote above. It's basic nettiquette.
I'm not DEMANDING anything. Sheesh. I just feel that I did some work and made an effort which is being overlooked. And nobody likes that, right?

Well, so I guess you contacted the photographer before putting the photos on your site to know if he agreed.

No. But I credited him.

Can we please stop this. It's ridiculous.

a few things for John :
a) could you edit the awful title of the thread ?

b) the black and white and red of your website is perfectly fine to me.

c) I suggest you to close your forum and link this one instead on your website.

for Alex : could it be possible to have an original layout like previously when it was on paul's site ? it lacks personnality these days. Of course it's not that important, but the default style is getting boring as we can see it so many times on the net...
oh, there's also an emoticon's problem : the 'shy' and 'cool' ones have the same characters when you click on them...

np : the Geraldine Fibbers - lost somewhere between the earth and my home
Oh I LOVE that record.

@coringaistra: thanks, i wanted the design/layout of the website to reflect stina's music... glad u noticed it. I wont be making any changes to it for the time being... but expect a flash version in the near future

@franck: edit the awful title of the thread? ---i don't quite understand?.Yep i'm going to link the this forums shortly.

I meant this : "To Mark the 1 year anniversay of "The World Is Saved&qu"
I'm fanatical about details sometimes, so don't take it too seriously...

Just 'the anniversary' would do.'1 year anniversary' isn't very good English either.

why do i get the feeling i'm being "ganged up on" ?..... because i'm a newbie?

Post by **sound world** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:12 am

Hey John don't feel ganged up on!!
I suppose it's just because you opened your site up for criticism...so you have to be ready to get some!

Post by **Franck** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 9:20 am

Nah, John don't feel ganged up on, absolutely no intention meant.
