I’ve been up all night working on my final Project for this class I am taking this summer called a “Bargain Blast” Website. I used a template with css from OpenSourceDesigns.org called Lotus

that is licensed under The Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. I altered the layout by switching the #sidebar div to float right, and the #content div left. I called my cyber-shop “Vibe Quest”: a place to request good thought, energies, and vibrations to be sent your way by a (imaginary in this case)network of people. The assignment was to set up a page as a cyber-shop and sell anything free or under $10.00 with three reasons listed as to why you need this service or product, a link back to the school’s catalog, a link to the class’s homepage, an image link, an image map, and an email link. It had to have two graphics at least. A fake address was also to be added. It had to have a background color or graphic as well.

As I said I altered the template by switching the float attributes on the content and the sidebar. I like my menus on the left, as it makes more sense to me being right handed mostly. Here’s a snapshot of the finished product which I’ll explain following the image:

The top image came with the template, as is licensed under Creative Commons (The Lotus). The two mandalas are actually botanical/Flower Mandalas. One was taken from “The Flower Mandalas Project”, which is website dedicated to photographing Mandalas in flowers. The pink and red is an Iris Germanica ii supposedly. It’s a small image map. The right side links to The Mandalas Project’s Website and the left links to a blog called Goodness Gracious which is really good reading on life and the human condition, as well as how to find peace and happiness.

The Top Purple One was was taken from Wikipedia and it links to The Article On Wikipedia. it ’s up on my website: Vibe Quest.

The title bars are images linked through the css. I had to use hard links, soft/relative never work for me. I put a bunch of links to related websites. Check it out!!
