Hey...that wasn't hard at all. I was dreading it for quite a while, but...my "personal" webpages given out by my internet provider had been taken down due to them being bought out by another company, and getting them back up was a headache with what looked like more headaches to come in addition to far less webspace and traffic allowed than before. (Time Warner bought out my Comcast)

Blah...anyway...went to godaddy.com and bought a new domain and the basic hosting (5gb space, 250gb traffic), all for $10.19 Three hours later, its all active and good to go.

I can now start uploading all my EARLY Bryce renders into my gallery archives!!

Woohoo! Its like owning my frst car....well, sorta.

Nice site...   Hope you are happy with the new server....

So far, so fast.  ;oD

don't forget to change your link...  " personal Site"...    

Congrats on the new site! I've been having one for three years now but Just now about to go public. In terms of an art site, the most difficult thing for me is using a pleasant background.

I've always been a basic black kind of guy. (and, I usually create dark Bryce scenes anyway, so I need a dark background)

I agree, black works well for an art site. I tried black, white (which was interesting when combined with semi-transparent .PNG's... scrolling a page tended to "fade away" up or down), and a type of blue that made any image seem to float. But now I'm trying for some background with a pattern, but not happy with any pattern I try. Reason is I like semi-transparent .PNG's and the effects one can achieve with them. I love a glass effect and in the past have done floating glass planes for images/text. Now I'm going more simple (because lack of time) and the best way to highlight the semi-transparent .PNG's is to have a patterned background. Else the transparent part gets lost in an solid background.

Sounds very cool. I am experimenting with some vertical grayscale gradients, just to switch it up a little. Not sure yet myself.

One thing I did with horizontal white gradients was to have a white background. Using CSS to control the z-order, had the gradients at both the top and bottom of the page. Using DHTML to provide an alternate method of scrolling up/down the page, the end effect was images/text between the two gradients would look like they faded into the white background as you scrolled up or down. The page contents were just under the gradients, and as the text/images slid under the transparent portion of the gradients, becoming more opaque, the effect was like watching something slip into mist. I'm sure with some time someone could put some Bryce clouds and make it look more realistic.

Jeez....WAY above my basic html understanding, lol.

Classic HTML is a lot of fun. Today I had to make a program make HTML templates. Basic HTML knowledge is very useful! Never know when you'll need it. :-)

Daily, (almost). My website, girlfriends website, neighbor wants a html portfolio on cd-r, & Renderosity.

Nice website AS... I agree with black and dark coloring! I used those colors on my website too:) I don't have much experience of programming and so.. but I created my layout in Photoshop and then when it was ready I sliced it in ImageReady which created straight html code for each slice. So they are like tables and all I had to do was to change the code so that the sliced images are backgrounds for every table. Damn I dont't know how to explain in my english skills:) Maybe you want to check the code for yourself: http://kotisivu.dnainternet.fi/antranta/index.html By the way I created a showreel of my latest works in Flash yesterday. I kind a like the idea of it and I'll concentrate on improving it someday.

Hehe, I understood it :-)  Tables are a great way to control basic layout.

 

Love those images and especially the transitions!

Ha! Anyone can be a .com

Being a .co.uk  is so much cooler!

Congrats!

Hey, my .tk still works...lol.

So, you will be uploading your textures to your new site?! Cool...

Congrats on the new site.  I like the wireframe/shaded piece.  I made a site for a local nonprofit and use godaddy.  Completely happy with them.  Phone service is excellent.

Keep those 3dworld articles coming. 

It looks very proffesional. Congrats

Pretty cool! I like that u went with ur real name for the domain. Next up: css! haha

Yeah, I knew eventually, it would be kinda weird for people who knew nothing of my online screenname to be told to go to www.agentsmith.com, so to the default real name.

Wanted www.kirk.com, but someone already has it (naturally)

nice site agentsmith ;)

hmmm

great find.   html was what got me started in computers.  I made my first Microbiology tutorial page for college and I was hooked on computers thereafter.

and thats actually a good price and great traffic allowance rate
I'd been kicking around getting another one for a while, but the traffic allowances per month were too low. 

5 gb traffic wasnt enough, but 250 gb is great!

now, what do I call the next "best" bryce tutorial site on the net? lol

my only gripe is that to make things look the same on netscrap and windows, you have to do all that dual coding (yes I said netscrap..heh)

AS do you do a lot of html stuff ..if not, prepare to.  Its as addictive as Bryce (really it is)

:)

I had been thinking about going with the deal CG Channel has, a free domain, only 1Gb of space but, absolute unlimited bandwidth. But, the start up cost on that is like $130 up front (pays for the whole year) I just didn't need that much bandwidth (yet) or to dive in that deep money wise just to get started.

I have to actually learn more HTML than the extremely base things I know so far. Right now, I still just use Frontpage 2003, stripping out all the crud FP puts in the code.

vi for me :-)

very nice site, although i've heard some horror stories in regards to godaddy..
