hey what web site building software do you use

The site template is a PHBB2 forum. They sell different styles to use if you want to purchase one out right, it's all on your perference. The sytles are PHBB, PHBB2, PHBB3 and Invision. I use what free forums provide and make it my own thru a graphics program I purchased at Best buy, nothng fancy really, basic graphics generator.. All the free forum sites usually give you a choice between these 4 templates. The Templates are provided when you register with Free Forums, you can choose. There are many Free Forums out there you can use that provide almost everything you need for free. I would try a few out to see which one is the easiest for you to use. The one I am using for this website can be a little confusing at first, but it gives you the most ways to change things up. There are some Free Forums out that give you the set up and all you have to do is create the categories and web banner, very user friendly. I actually like this Free Forum site the best for starting off, here is the address. http://www.freeforums.org/ The best thing to do is surf Google images for your ideas, alot of people create banners and themes out there that you can change up to make your own, that's what I did in the beginning. I do know some very minor coding for certain colors and creating certain looks for re-sizing, like I did with the video player.. The video player is mix-pod, its a free sevice also that you can basically choose a look they provide, fill it up with you tube music or what ever, copy and paste the code on your forum.. But the kicker is, it is pre sized and has adevertisements all over it.. That's were learning how to remove and add certain codes to make it bigger, and remove the advertisements. Most of my learning is pretty much on hands doing,, I had no clue what I was doing at first, I learn something new on my own everyday. It's mainly about using your imagination and coordinating things to match up and fit. Sizing and creating icons are my hardest things to do.

Hey Billy, I will help you out if you want. I was thinking about creating you a Web Banner and you can use it as a Template if you like it.. I have some ideas.

Well I lied, LMAO,, Billy gave me the idea to try something out, and I came up with this look.. I will be working on new Froum icons for subjects.. Tell me what u think..

Looks Good Brother.

Well, here's my thoughts.. I often get from new users the forum is confusing and sometimes hard to navigate.. My approach is to make it user friendly as possible and remove the un needed buttons and backgrounds that seem to confuse people. This look was an idea I had about a month ago but I couldn't figure some stuff out.. Which I finally did.. The backgorund color on this look I wanted to fill in all the empty spots, which it has. I figured out how to do this... I was creating backgrounds, when all along all I needed to do was use the forum color codes. So here it is... This is how I always wanted it, but couldn't figure it out, till last night.. I hope this is more user friendly for those who have a hard time using the forum.
