moonflame designs :: version 16 :: strawberry temptation

welcome

Ello, ello, friend. (: This site here is Moonflame Designs, a small designing site where free graphics are provided for people like you. Or maybe not like you. Who knows? Anyway, I consider this more of a portfolio more than anything else so there might not be a lot here. Still, I think you could enjoy just one look around. And maybe, you could sneak a peek at our affiliates, as well. (: They're just as great as I, if not better. Enjoy the rest of your morning/evening/night/day!

proper introduction

Hi~ So, I should have a well prepared excuse for my absence of.. thirty-eight days. Well, I don't.. I had school and a huge graphic designing block. Not very well prepared, right? cx

But, um, there's a new layout. c: It's titled Strawberry Temptation because the girl looks like she's about to eat the strawberries in her hand. But she doesn't.

I really love this layout. It took me a little over two days to complete and I am very happy with the result. I've already changed all of the pages to match the new layout's format and cutenews matches, too.

Now, onto even better news. I finally figured out the date in which Moonflame (or, xThe_Hidden_Anime_LairX, at the time) was created (and I've gained an even stronger love for Freewebs). October 21st, 2005. That'll make us three in about a month. I'm extremely excited for the anniversary. Gasp~ I should have a birthday bash in the guild~ *jots down ideas*

And, worse news to even everything out. My counter reset itself~ My perfect little plain PHP counter reset itself. I think I'll just go without a counter. It's too much trouble. :c

So, um, hopefully, I can edit in some new graphic editions today before school tomorrow. I believe my quota is almost completed.

Bookmarks: Two.
PNGs: Two.

EDIT: Two new avatars~ I like the second the best. The first was for the Two Worlds contest (because I'm just that lazy). Oh, and there's a new signature.

Good day kind sirs and ma'ams.

made progress

Guess what everyone? I've made progress with the Gaia layouts! Other than some small variations that need fixing, my newest Gaia layout looks amazing: see it here. It took a lot of work, but I think it looks pretty great. I'm confident enough to start making Gaia layouts for visitors now. So, you can expect some of those, a finished quota, and a new layout for MFD soon. cheer

new

Hello all and I hope you are enjoying your Thursday. I know I am ~~not~~. Just kidding. It could be worse. I could be babysitting later today.

Okay, so, new addition time. I have a new layout. *applause* Okay, maybe not. But, anyway, you can find it here. I think it's an all right layout. Once again, it's out of my comfort zone.. But, who cares nowadays? Um. I don't know much about Naruto, so the layout may not be relative. But, it was for a contest with a particulary challenging theme. Multiple Identities and Split Personalities. I haven't entered yet, as I have an avatar and a button to make still. But, I think the layout could pass as enter-able.

Anyway, I have updated the staff page because.. I was rather bored. It has a lot of new information about.. me if you feel up to reading it. LOL. I was just that bored. ): Not trying to be self-centered. But, I had to create a wallpaper and banner to go along with that layout and I'm pretty wiped. Especially since I fail at wallpapers. But, it's too bad I don't offer them (or banners) here. I kind of liked this wallpaper. happy

Other than that, I haven't got anything else to update with. I threw in an edit on the last update which included a signature and an avatar, but you may've already seen those. I'm still working on the quota, but I got caught up with that contest. mad

Anyway, good day to you all.~

(more) affiliation

Edit: New signature and new avatar. The playlist is back, too. happy

Yayness. Moonflame now has nine affiliates. And with that, I officially close affiliation. Nine is a huge amount of affiliates, for me anyway, 'cause I'm used to having four, lol. Anyway, allow me to introduce our newest three:

Honey Skies Honey Skies is a really stunning website run by Marie. Her layout is seriously creative like all of her content. She has a lot of well designed icons as well as small graphics like signatures and the like.

Shanghai.Doll Shanghai.Doll is a great icon resource. The webmisstress, Arisu, is an extremely talented icon designer. Her main layout is equally as great. I definitely think her website is worth a visit.

Starless Designs Starless Designs is run by Tiffany. Tiffany designs the way I've always dreamed of designing. I admire her work and I'm so glad she accepted my request.

I think I might make an, 'in depth,' page for my affiliates. I'm really excited to get to know them and watch their sites grow.

About affiliation.. If you did happen to apply before I removed the application, I will still consider your site. wink1

Okay, now onto graphics. I have been updating lately, so please excuse the absenceof a graphical update today. Once I finish that quota, I'm going to open requests and start a brand new layout. So, uhm, look forward to that.. I guess. Sorry, I know I pretty much failed. sick

"Very Bad Prue!"/affiliation

EDIT2: Too much editing. I have good affiliate news and very, very bad affiliate news. Bad news first.

Arche closed down Spirit Serenade. She says she may create a new webpage sometime in the later future. We can only hope that she will do just that. I'm gonna' miss her site. cry

Hopefully, we'll still keep in contact over Gaia. Now, good news to cheer us up.

In losing one affiliate, we've gained two. Lurking Fool of Dark Jest and Ruriko of Digital Revolution have joined our family. They both run very great sites, so visit them if you can. You won't regret it. wink1

END EDIT2

EDIT: I just checked two things off my list of things to do (not my quota, I wish). I updated the past layouts page with our last two past layouts and I uploaded the first two downloadable layouts to this server, so they aren't on freewebs and are without 30day-ads. Oh, and, just for old time's sakes, the quota:

Avatars: ~~Five.~~ Two.
Signatures: ~~Three.~~ One.
Bookmarks: Two.
PNGs: Two.

I'm getting somewhere. sick

Just added a hiatus sign and a welcome sign. I'm done those, now. Yayness.END EDIT

Haha. I just got done watching the third season of Charmed (for like, the fifth time). That show is the greatest. The title is a quote from the episode, "Look Who's Barking." I don't care what people say. I loved Prue. cry

Why did they have to kill her off? angry1

Anyway, enough ranting. Time for an update.

I have for you all a new downloadable layout. It is called, "Deadly As Sin." And that's about it. You can find it on the Website Layouts page. Other than that, you should really join the guild. Once we get more members, we can role-play, have discussions, have contests, and have drawings. Sounds like loads of fun, eh? wink1

Maybe not. Who knows?

Guild

Hope you're just as excited as I am. Well, okay, I'm not that excited. mad

I ache all over for some reason. But, who cares! The guild is open! cheer

I owe so much thanks to Anonymously-Insane for donating this guild to me. I was able to use the gald I saved up to purchase subforums for the guild's forum.

So everything is done. Well, except, I still need to buy another subforum. For contests. I'll get around to that.

Anyway, all of the pages here on the site are updated with information about the guild. You can also find all of that information when you visit the guild.

So, request away if you wish to join the guild. wink1

I am going to go to bed. I am so tired. sleeping

G'night.

rant time~

Okay, so, what's up with the anti-freewebs sites? I mean, I've been looking around for affiliates and when I get to the rules, some of them say, 'no freewebs websites.' I know I'm not hosted by freewebs anymore, but I WAS and I still ran a pretty decent site, you know?

In fact, I've seen many great freewebs hosted websites such as Arche's beautiful webbie.

Since when did hosts matter? Isn't it the webmaster/mistress and content that counts? I don't find that fair at all.

And, if you run one of those sites that doesn't allow for freewebs hosted affiliates, I don't mean to offend you.

But, I have been offended, hosted by freewebs or not. ):<

Hello from Oregon.

Edit: I definitely forgot about the playlist. sick

I'll throw a link up for that shortly.

Although, I'm not there right now. So, really, there's no point. Anyway, I have some good news. I finally coded a Gaia profile. I feel so stupid. The answer to figuring out the codes was right in front of me. But, anyway, enough self pity and other not fun feelings.

You can find the success here. There is a plentiful amount of flaws, all which I tried my darndest to cover up with more codes.

Do you think, based on this profile that I've linked, that you would like it if I offered gaia profiles, despite minor flaws?

Thank you to everyone who has commented on the new layout. I appreciate your kind gestures. blush

I have a few more new things in store for Moonflame in the near future, maybe one of those big surprises I always see on other sites. Yeah, something like that. A lot of new additions. This 'surprise' isn't quite graphic additions though. There will be more of those, but they aren't really a surprise. Wait, yeah they are. How often do you see me with a huge chunk of an update chock full of graphics? .. Once in a blue moon. laugh

So ehm, big surprise, graphics, and more to come. But for now, snack on these new avatars:

EDIT:

Avatars: ~~Five.~~ Three.
Web-layouts: One.
Signatures: ~~Three.~~ Two.
Welcome Signs: ~~Two.~~ One.
Hiatus Signs: ~~Two.~~ One.
Bookmarks: Two.
PNGs: Two.

Bringing back my quota. At the bottom it mentioned getting anime tutorials, which I've done, and making gaia layouts, which I'm waiting on feedback to do so. For now, I will be working at this list here. mad

It has been edited a tiny bit.

Wee~ This is going fabulously. happy

New Hiatus Sign and Welcome Sign have been added. I'm enjoying this

version fifteen

Here it is in glory and frustration, Moonflame Designs' 15th version, Hana. It was named after one of my favourite KOKIA songs. I'm trying to see if I can get that one in the music box somehow. Anyway..

So, in the future (tomorrow) I predict I will be making previews of graphics that are too large for this here tiny box. Yes, I know it was silly and rather unprofessional to make a box so small for my content, but I like it.

Ha, haha, ahaahaaa.. laugh

This coding is so hilarious. It's a riot, really. It's so messy, I don't even know what I was doing. Those little boxes were a pain in the metallic arse to make because the stupid .gif transparency decided to be it stupid head. angry1

It wouldn't work because I wanted drop shadows. And when I found this awesome script thingy to make rounded corners and dropshadows, I freaked. And then it told me it would only work for Internet Explorer. I don't get it. IE is obviously great, why do people have to use a kajillion of different browsers so I have to make sure my layout doesn't look terrible on them, too (which I'm sure it does, anyway..)? Sorry, I ranted. sick

Anyway, due to the fact that I'm tired as anything, except for something that isn't tired, I will update with the new stuff I made tomorrow. Yes, you heard correctly, there's already new stuff. And I'm quite proud of one of the new stuffs. cheer

Also, I definitely have to do something about the links (not in the boxes to the side, in the main box). The colour is dreadful, but if I change it, it changes the side, too. Hmm, well, that's a problem for another day (tomorrow).

Well, cheers~ sleeping

EDIT: Click read more for new updates (just 'cause I wanna see if it works).

some new things

I have decided that I should create a quota for myself that I would like to get done before I switch the layout, if I ever do. mad

Avatars: Five.
Web-layouts: One.
Stationary: One-Two.
Signatures: ~~Three.~~ Two.
Welcome Signs: ~~Two.~~ One.
Hiatus Signs: Two.
Bookmarks: Two.

Get ANIME TUTORIALS and GAIA LAYOUTS.):

And, well, there you have it. If you can't see, I'll gladly point out that some things on the quota, er, chart(?) have been slashed out. That means I've already done some of it. The corrected amount that I need to complete would be beside it.

You know, I'm really writing this all for my own sake, not yours. My memory is terrible and I will ~~possibly~~ forget all of this. Anyway..

For today, I give you a new signature. Signatures are my favourite graphics to make, I think they turn out nicely and I never stopped liking one of them so far, (knock on wood). I also give you a new welcome sign. I wasn't sure about this sign from the beginning and I'm still not sure about it.. ah well.

So anyway, the quota isn't really to force me to do anything. I like designing, so I guess I should have fun with it. I just think I'm going to need a few more graphics before other sites start taking me seriously. happy

Well, that's all for now. I'm very tired so I do believe it is hay hitting time. Goodnight~.

ello, mate~

Well, before I put myself on the spot for not updating in forever, allow me to welcome you all to Moonflame's new location. We've been promoted to a sub domain. I'm extremely happy about this. I would like to thank Nadja, my newest affiliate and now my very kind host, for hosting me. (: I'm trying to get cutenews on these updates so that they won't extend the page down so far, but I need to get an account first. sick

(dumb, I'm so dumb).

Wee, did you see the cute little text counter? I love PHP! It looks so complicated, but it does some cool things. I made sure this counter only appears on the homepage, not any other pages. That'd be cheating. (:

Anyway, ah yes, an excuse for my disappearance? I had graduation, from eighth grade, a surprise party for my Grammie, I had to transfer the site and change the pages all to .php, and I have work from 9:00AM to 5:00PM, babysitting (it's ~~kind of~~ boring). I think they're valid excuses, but I can also place some of the blame on Stephanie Meyer's series, Twilight. I devoured it and it's sequel in five days (that's good for me). Unfortunately, reading those books has given me the largest art block I've experienced. I can't draw, write, or design! (But, I still love those books).

So, for now, there are no graphical updates. I know, I'm a slacker. I'll try tonight, anyway. I plan to have some new goodies for you all later on. happy

EDIT: One new avatar. I have to go to bed now. Nighty-night~

EDIT2: Cutenews is up and running, hopefully flawlessly. mad

If there are any problems, please mention so. I would appreciate the gesture. Oh, and I'm sorry there haven't been any graphical updates (I always brake those promises.. sick

) I had to run to Branes & Noble, a zillion miles away from my house, to buy Eclipse, the next installment in Stephanie Meyer's great series, and my summer reading books. I'm happy, I even picked up a copy of Shojo Beat. It came with a Vampire Knight poster. cheer
