http://dancing-rain.us/rillapassion/layouts/tables/delicatelikearose/ - this I like, but would want to change most of the images and the overall size. So it's just the basic codeing I want.

Problems include:
- desire to make my own image
- dislike of tiny spaces for text (which seems to be bizarrely fashionable)
- need it to work at 800x600
- lack of idea of what I actually want, other than horizontal and static menu bar always visible.
- desire to actually build it myself...
- ...it's not that I can't build my own site, I'm just too lazy to and I get easily distracted when things don't happen hte way I want them to

Basically, I want it quite simple, low graphics (but something nice), and easy to navigate. minimal scrolling. I like my pictures and links to sit still while the content scrolls, which isn't possible with most of these. I'm trying to avoiding liking the above sites for their graphics, because I'm going to change those, but then I see that mst of the layouts are not only basically the same, but not what I want.

The more sites I look at, the better an idea I get of what I want, and the less it looks like any of those sites. Most of them would suit weblogs down to a tee, but I can't imagine having that many links on a site. I'd end up with something that looked dreafully lopsided and empty. I guess I'm one of the few who prefers text to graphics when it comes to layout.

Oh, so that's where all those unnavigavle/unreadable sites come from. *sigh*

Also, personally, I dislike dealing with frames, just like I am not a big fan of sites that change the cursor.

If I have to spend a long time wondering *how* to get somewhere on the webpage, I am likely to get tired and go away.

some of those pages are just too ridiculousy complicated. Ican't see hte point in it, really, especially when your final triumph is to have a site that looks pretty much like everyone elses.

Very good reference for browser sizes, to make sure that what you're doing is navigable on anyone's comp.

I like my pictures and links to site still while the content scrols

How do you mean, exactly? Are we specifically talking about navigation links and the layout image here? BTW, I noticed a trend in the layouts you liked - is this the sort of image-light, easily-navigable site you had in mind?

PS: you typed this in a hurry, didn't you. :P

[minervasolo.livejournal.com]

types it while waiting for mum to pick me up for hospital appointment, so yes, it definitely got more rushed.

That's sort of the type of thing, but I''m developing a dislike of that kind of table layout. I'll draw you a few sketches tomorrow. The first link at te top is probably the closest in layout, if not in lohoks, to what I think i want.

Yay, sketches! Trying to visualise what another person is describing is a pain in the arse. >.<
