My Website-making History
Ever since I’ve started to know the HTML, I tried numerous attempts to make a presentable website.
My first website was a Meteor Garden Fansite. Haha. Yeah, you can laugh at me now. I, muself can’t believe I made a fansite for these Taiwanese guys. Being a newbie in website making, I received some rude remarks from my visitors, saying that I better close my site because I don’t know web designing. According to them, if you know web design, you SHOULD make your own template. Hell, they didn’t know how much effort I’ve exerted just to make a nice looking template. *rolls eyes* After a month, due mainly to those remarks, I closed my site. Besides, I’ve decided not to waste my time on those F4 guys.
My second website was about jokes and quotes. It was a Tripod-hosted site. I was getting busy with school at that time so I had to stop updating it. When I revisited it recently, it was closed by the webhost.
I stopped making websites when I joined the Xanga Community. When I was still an active Xanga-er, I used to re-design my site almost every week! I take effort on searching the net for Xanga skins just so I can change my layout. It was easier when you only have to modify the skins compared to make a template yourself. Besides, I still considered myself a ‘newbie’ to HTML. Due to my dynamic Xanga (with different layouts almost every week. Hehe), I learned a lot of HTML codes, of course, with the aid of tutorials I’ve searched over the net.
When I entered medical school, I had tapered-off my internet hours so I kinda forgot the little things I’ve learned.
Sometime in December 2005, I was requested (based on the recommendations of my classmates who happened to be regular lurker at my Xanga to make our school’s website. It was not a problem at all, only that I know little about graphic making. I didn’t know how to use Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash MX. But I was ambitious enough to make a more or less presentable website, so I have to learn Adobe or Flash. I was advised to take lessons on this graphic software but there were financial and time constraints. Again, I resorted to net tutorials. Now, the website is still under construction. Hopefully, I could finish it this summer break.
As a full-time student, I have to depend to my parents for financial support. So I’ve decided to search the net on making money online. I stumbled upon autosurf sites such as Studiotraffic.com” and others. Since then, I thought of making a website about earnings on the web, and came up with Earningsonline. Again, it’s also under construction.
My current project is a website offering FREE mobile contents such as text messages, ringtones and wallpapers and named it as Mobile Online Philippines. Due to the Unlimited Txt Promo by Smart Telecom, I my inbox got full with messages so I came up with an idea of making a website out of those. But I decided to add ringtones and wallpapers I will personally make. I also have seen a simple CSS layout so decided to use it. Right now, I am still constructing the website as well as making the additional ringtones and wallpapers. My site is Mobilepg.Gfx-underground.com. Please visit it.
By the way, here are some of the software I’ve used in making my website and its contents. These are highly recommended.
Recommended software:
CakeWalk Pro Audio 9.0 (for editing my audio files), Pysoftware 2D and 3D Animator (this is a download link, and ITunes ( I used this in converting my mp3 files into wav files).
Recommended Sites: Gfx-underground.com as my free webhost. This site offers FREE Cpanel hosting and it’s one of the greatest. I am still new in Cpanel hosting but with the aid of its supportive staff, I’m getting acquainted with Cpanel hosting.
