Revamped and renamed my FFVII collective; it's now Lucky Sevens. I've been wanting to rename it for ages, but it took a while to settle on a name I really liked. Still features Tifa because she's the best.

FFVII collective???

I know what I'll be doing this morning to make the dread go away.
Join in the Tale, in the Blight, of Conquest and Lies
Come the Sun, to Tarnish in the Sky
Vow that we shall Tear the Light - Dark seizes the Throne
Lost in thoughts, all alone

Been a while since I updated here! Life is busy.

New layout at redcrown.net, featuring Fallout 4 because I'm so excited.

No new stuff from me for a while (unless I manage to find time in the next few weeks for a one-pager); this time of year is always very busy for me.

I already mentioned this on Twitter, but I really love this layout, Larissa.

And I hope you can find the time to squeeze in a one pager. :)

Lovely work! Oo the "redcrown" text has a texture that changes to a solid color when hovered over! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?? LOL!!!

Thanks, guys! :heart: :star:

@CuriousLittleBird: It's done using CSS sprites. This is the image for the title; this is the image for the navigation. One of the better articles on the subject is this one from 2004; this one is good further reading for more modern techniques.

When you see something change on hover on one of my sites (and most of them do, a lot of my navigations are done this way); it's done using CSS sprites. I'm crusty and set in my ways and figure out the exact positioning manually but I should probably get one of the programs mentioned in the second article... I'm just used to my process :puff:

Ah, that's really cool, Larissa! Thanks for sharing your secrets! ;)

I love the new layout a lot. I love the images for all of the headers and the textured background together a lot. I have never played Fallout, but I love the use of the pip-boy (and that you said what it was, because, like I said, I've never played it!). Everything just works together and looks great together. I love the color scheme too! I feel like brown isn't something that you see a lot, but it looks awesome with this layout!
