I've been designing and putting up websites since before I graduated high school. At first, I used Microsoft Office's WYSIWYG designing program to just play around with making sites. The first site that I actually created and put on the net was made with Netscape Composer, another WYSIWYG program. After having it like that for awhile, I finally got around to teaching myself HTML and then CSS thanks to tutorial sites out there as well as various books, and I have been using Notepad (or sometimes HTMLKit) to code my sites in ever since. In the summer of 2001, I bought my own domain name. I used to use link-ware graphics available on the internet to decorate my sites, but now I've switched over to taking free public clipart and altering it or in the case of this version of the site, making all of my own graphics. For graphics, I use Bryce3D, MS Paint, MS GIF Animator, Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and a windows version of GIMP.
 | Starfly.org Version 2.1
This layout is exactly the same as Version 2 except for the color scheme and picture. The image is of the characters Sarah and Ashe from The Crow: City of Angels as I love the Crow movies. Made in Notepad. |
 | Starfly.org Version 2
This layout used frames, CSS, and javascript menus. It looked best at any resolution on IE4+, as Netscape 4 doesn't seem to like CSS. The image on the sci-fi tunnel on the left was made by me in Bryce 3D. Made in Notepad. |
 | Starfly.org Version 1
This layout made use of iframes, CSS, and an image map for the main menu. It looked best at 800x600 on IE4+, as Netscape 4 doesn't seem to like CSS. Made in Notepad. |
![~[Sanctuary]~ Version 2: Dark](../images/sanctuary-darksm.jpg) | ~[Sanctuary]~ Version 2: Dark
I used frames to create this layout as well as modifying various public graphics to suit my needs. It looked best at 800x600 on IE4+, but looked okay in Netscape too and at most higher resolutions. Made in Notepad. |
![~[Sanctuary]~ Version 1: Light](../images/sanctuary-lightsm.jpg) | ~[Sanctuary]~ Version 1: Light
This layout used frames & CSS, plus some modified free graphics & some linkware graphics. It looked best at 800x600 on IE4+, but looked okay in Netscape. It had some problems with higher resolutions. Made in Notepad. |
 | Kah'tina's Realm
This was my 1st website, it used linkware graphics, and it looked best at 800x600 in Netscape, but was okay in IE4+. It also won several awards. Made with Netscape Composer. |
 | The Van Tassel Library
This was a Sleepy Hollow fan site made using some linkware graphics and frames. It ended up being more popular than I anticipated and it got to be too much work for just me to maintain it. When its host went down and lost all the data, I just never uploaded it again. It looked great in any browser and at any resolution. Made in Notepad. |
