About
Welcome to Premades by Bess! Sorry I couldn't think up a more catchy and/or original title. I love coding things and making graphics, so here is a compilation of layouts for your use. Currently there are only userlookups, but maybe I'll add some other stuff at some point. ;D
All of my premades have been tested in Internet Explorer and Firefox (the later versions, I believe). Although a certain layout may look better in one browser, they all work in both. They probably work in other browsers, too.
Have a question, comment, etc.? Send all mail to me at seegensays. Oh, and I was bored one day and decided to make this cool page of bigger preview-thingies (here). Unfortunately, the spiffy coding doesn't work in Opera. D=
Updates
Nov. 27th - No more premades, I'm afraid, but I do have a new affie:
Madreline's Custom Guild Layouts.
Nov. 9th - Yay, I've actually added some stuff. ^^ Under the new section of
Image Inserts - Style 1, I've put up a dark red stripey petpage and a light red stripey petpage.
Oct. 28th - Wow, it's been over a month! Which makes me really sad that, once again, I don't have an update-update - just another affie (not that there's anything wrong with
Ashyaruu's Button Tutorial). I wish I had time to make something new, but I'm swamped with homework. In fact, at this very moment, I should be working on my book report. -sigh-
Sept. 25th - I don't really have an update-update (so no new lookups or petpages or anything,
aww), but I do have another affie:
Review'd. Yay. =D
Sept. 17th - So I've put another
Pure CSS petpage up, making a total of two petpages. A lot to handle, I know. XD I named it "Blueberries;" it's just a coincidence that my other one is called "Watermelon." It's not that I'm too tired to think of an original name, or something crazy like that...
Sept. 15th - I've finally updated the coding for all of my existing premades, and I have a new affiliate:
The Faerie Compass.
Sept. 8th - Wow, it's been awhile. XD It's only my third day of school and I'm already up to my ears in homework. I'm hoping that they're just going right into the workload, because if this is their idea of taking it easy for the first few days of school... Anyways, I just got a new affie (
Soroptimist Directory). And
Mylanith12's Graphics has been my affie for a while, just forgot to announce her.
Aug. 16th - Summer camp's over now. Although I'm sad that I won't see a lot of my new friends ever again (some are a year older than me, so it was their last year), at least I'll be on here more often. Until I go on my little-over-a-week vacation, of course. Anyways, the wonderful
Kitty has agreed to be affiliates. Yay. =D
Aug. 3rd - God, August already? Summer's almost over! D= Anyways, I've decided to offer premade petpages as well as lookups now. There's only one at the moment, but I'm making more eventually. =P
July 12th - Now all of the Neopian Worlds layouts have been updated. I might get to a couple more by the end of the day, but then again maybe not. XP
June 26th - I've updated some of the layouts - cleaner coding, better browser compatability, etc. Just some minor details. It's amazing how much I've gotten better since I made some of these. =P
June 23rd - After quite a long period of boycotting the fix for the annoying new coding filters, I gave in and decided to make a new layout (what can I say - I'm weak!). Anyways, as you can see, there's been a major revamp. Hopefully y'all like it.
Rules
I'm generally a nice and friendly person, but some of these rules, if broken, will without a doubt unleash my powerful dark side...(muahahahahaha). I really don't want to have to report you, but stealing is a reportable offense. And really, nobody wants to get frozen.
1. My credit ALWAYS stays on the lookup. I guess, if you really want to, you can move it around and stuff, but it MUST be visible somewhere. I don't care if you took the code and completely changed the entire thing - you still used my coding, and you still have to acknowledge that.
2. With my permission, you can of course use my coding to make your own lookup. However, you must credit me with the CSS base code (preferrably with a link) and you may not, under any circumstances, create your own premades with my coding.
3. Don't touch my images, please. This means that you can't pass them off as your own, or alter them in any way. It took a long time for me to make them, and I don't want all of that hard work to go to waste. You can upload them to your own server and save my bandwidth, though, if you know how. =)
4. If requests are closed, they're closed. Don't pester me to make you something if I clearly state that you can't request. And I reserve the right to take as much time as I need/want to finish it.
5. Please, if you see somebody who you think is stealing or otherwise going against these rules, come to me before you do anything. I'm the only one who can really tell if they're stealing, after all! I expect the same courtesy from those of you who think that I'm stealing (which, for the record, I'm not). Contact the person you think I'm stealing from FIRST and have them contact me and sort everything out.
Link Back
Liked my page? Want to help me spread the word? Pick up either a button or a text link on your way out.
Buttons
Text Linkage
Affiliates
I am currently looking for affies!
I accept petpages and web sites alike, but all of them must be neo-related (if you do graphics or layouts, having non-neo userlookups and whatnot is okay). Websites please have a petpage I can link to.
It would be nice if you provided a button for me, preferably 88 by 31 pixels, and already have one of my buttons (or a text link) underneath your affiliation section. If your button isn't that size, I may scale it down or make a new one (because I'm a crazy perfectionist).
Please note that you may be deleted (after a warning or two) from my list if it looks like you aren't updating your page and it has fallen into disprepair. However, as long as you're not still "under construction," the abscence of updates but no disrepair is fine. =D
The affies
Pending:
None at the moment.
Credits
This page layout: ...was made entirely by me. I coded everything, and I manipulated a Neopets background to create the pretty top image in Photoshop. I even spent a while creating and lining up the stripes for the background, so... no touchy. Or I'll eat you. ;P
The premade layouts: ...were also made entirely by me. Well, some of them used textures from Mary's Stamps, but otherwise, they were coded by me and the Neopets graphics used were manipulated by me, either in MS Paint, Photoshop, or a combination of the two.
I myself learned to code little by little by reading through amazing guides such as Kitty's Coding Help. I also recieved this wonderful book for a birthday a while ago; go to www . cookwood . com/html for its companion website.
Oh, and once I received Photoshop as a Christmas present, I needed something to guide me through. Thanks Aurora and lovecansaveyou for your awesome Photoshop tutorials.
And finally, thank you Neopets - without you, this page wouldn't exist! =P

You can either click on a specific category to view that selection of layouts, or you can skip this section and just browse.

The Userlookups
Please note: I made all of these either on my main account or on a side. Because my information is different than yours, these lookups may not work exactly right for you. If this is the case, drop me a neomail and I will supply you with a specialized code so that your lookup works as well for you as it does for me.
Before neomailing, however, try out some of the quick fixes to see if you can solve the problem yourself.
