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.

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!!!

/overly excited by probably super simple CSS tricks

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!
