i want a time function on my site which changes the css due to time of day…HERE is something i have been tinkering with…..it refreshes the time jpg every 60 seconds…

i’ve been working on the layout CSS for my site and suprise suprise, a fixed background image aligned bottom middle works in every browser except fricken MAC IE (havent tested PC IE as yet), it starts of centered then as u scroll down to the footer the image distorts!! been looking around the internet and there is nothing specifying the correct way to fix the bug………GRRRR!!!

Have a look HERE

i had a look at this japanese flash site and although the content isnt really suitable, i really like the style and colours. i think i’m going to go for somthing simular just not as japanese, also, i wont be using much flash. purely for the fact that i want to learn to use CSS so i can optimise my site for google….view designer gokko HERE.

although the actual design of  www.mariusroosendaal.com doesn’t really inspire me greatly, it has a lovely little feature that detects the time of the day of the browsers computer then changes the graphics accordantly, i would be very keen to include a simular feature to my site…..

www.lysergid.com is an online porfolio of an art director/illustraiter. it has a very simple layout and beautiful static visuals, but i am unsure on how this would translate to interactive/motion work. i am very keen to keep my site as simple as possible with maybe just the one page….unsure….

As part of my project, i figure that i may as well turn this into my online portfolio also. therefore i have bought my own domain name and web hosting with dreamhost.com , i have called my company sneakybadger.com as i have an unnatural obsession with the little critters and i also think its a fairly memorable name/url. my next step is to look around other designers online portfolios to see what should be included and ideas for design layout……
