Homepage and style

It has been a while since the last blog. That is because my parents have been here and I have been traveling with them. But my sister is into creative web design and she gave me a few ideas that I like.

On the left side of the website, I would like to have all the different identities that I have, and when you scroll over them the text will change. I would like to make the text increase and change style as the mouse rolls over. Also I was thinking about adding music to some of my pages. This helps to add design to my website, and take away a little bit from the art.

On my homepage I have those few pictures. When the mouse rolls over those pictures, text graphics will pop up explaining what that identity is in a word or two. This gives me a chance to play around with text, and make it more of a graphic rather than just writing. The graphic does not have to be just on that picture, but it can expand across the whole page just when the mouse rolls over. I was looking at the Bellagio hotel, and the type of rollover that they have is very simple, but they have the general concept of what I want. Rather when you roll over the sections on my website, the text will change more drastically rather than just get high lighted.



I keep trying to think of different ways to improve my website, but not too complicated because I have never done anything with computers like this before. I want to include video as well on the pages to help improve what my identity really is.
