Welcome, guest, to Nienke's Premades, a premade layouts site by me, Nienke. On my site I offer a wide variety of high quality premade layouts. The site has been around since January 2007, something that I hope shows off!

The layouts I offer are for userlookups (also Altador Cup themed), pet lookups, petpages and guilds.

As of August 2011, there is an extras page. Here you can find several layout templates! On the page you can also find more information on Nienke's Premades and me!

I wasn't able to finish Details yet, so yeah, just keep checking back, I'll finish it soon.

I noticed something and it has been bugging me for quite some time now. A lot of new button request sites use mine but also other people their premade button bases. And it just leaves me thinking, why? Why would you open a button request site, if you can't make your own bases. If you can't make the base, which is like 75% of the button, why on earth would you take requests? When offering requests (or making premades), you should be able to create things yourself. If you just take stuff other people have made, there is no point in you taking requests, because those people could've done it theirselves. It just doesn't make sense to me and it annoys me a little, it's like taking credit for something you didn't make, at all. So yeah. Please do not use my button bases for requests, because that's not what I've made them for...

Hmm, I've been living in the past I guess. Completely forgot that it's 2012 already haha. Anyway. I had to redesign Details again (this is the last time, promise!), because the old design was just bugging me. I think it is starting to look really good. I only have to code 4 pages (sounds like a lot, but most of it is already coded), so I think I'll be able to finish it tomorrow, yay!

Also coming soon, a completely revamped extras page (+ new content) and a new layout for NP.

Baha, I'm still updating on a monthly base. Ahem. So I've been busy, but that's not new. Um. Today was the first time in ages that I opened PS to work on a layout. Sadly it lasted only 5 min haha. Anyway. I wanted to tell that I'm working on something huge! Okay, not that huge, well... it is compared to what's been happening here the past months. It's not a new project either. I'm still finishing up Details. When I said I'd almost finished it... well... that was a little mistake. After I said that, I redid everything like three times. But it's almost finished now. For real. And I can say for sure, it involves LOTS of new content, ha! I'm hoping to finish it before the end of this week, but I won't promise anything (yeah I'm kind of hooked to this show and I still have a whole season to watch). Sorry if that didn't really make sense, just wanted to show my face again ;)


december 24, 2011

Pfff, it's been a really long time since I've put up some new layouts. But I've finally made two new petpage layouts: Winter Wonderland and Life in Technicolor! They're both quite simple, but that was also something I was going for :)

As you can see, I've lost quite some affiliates. A lot of them closed, some were really inactive and others had just removed me. So yeah. I'm not looking for new ones, it's just too much work (lazy haha).


november 26, 2011

It's been a very busy week for me. And it will stay this way for a while. So I don't have much to update about, but I just wanted to say that the SOTM at Kaleidoscopic has started and I would really appreciate it if you'd vote for me! :D


november 19, 2011

I don't like the idea of an hiatus, mostly because I never really know if I'll have time or not. So I'm not going on hiatus, but I won't be updating very often. I'm just busy with other things and I must admit, neo and even layout making is getting pretty boring. No, I'm not quitting or something, I just won't spend as much time online as I used to. I'm not pretty sure what I'm going to do with Perfect Symmetry. I think I'll just keep it up and take some requests in the weekends. Also, if you want to mail me, READ MY FAQ FIRST or maybe try to contact somebody else, because there is a huge change you'll have to wait days for you reply from me.

I'm hoping to finish Details tomorrow. I've almost got everything coded (like 95%) and only have to change some minor things...


november 14, 2011

Oh wow, I really haven't been updating my suggestions list. Haha. It's getting soooo long!

I would love to hear your suggestions for new resources! I'll be making more abstract textures, so you don't have to suggest that. But please mail me if you'd like to see something (like more bullets or button bases)!


november 11, 2011

I've revamped the Altador Cup Lookups page! I've finally made a new layout and new screenshots :)


november 10, 2011

New layout!! I'd already finished the images for two other layouts, but I wanted to try something else. Looking at my previous layouts, I realised they're always pink/red, orange/pink or blue/purple. So I've decided to go with green this time :D I REALLY like it (doh it features my favourite faerie!). Oh, and check out the invisible scrollbar ahhaa.
As you can see, I've removed the stats (I haven't really updating it). I've also removed three of my affiliates.
Um... I've also edited the introduction a little and a small part of the FAQ.

I thought I would have the time to answer my mails in the evening, but now I don't. So I'll get back to everybody tomorrow :)

I've entered the competition at Kaleidoscopic!

You might be wondering what that Details is about. No it has NOTHING to do with Nienke's Premades (okay, maybe a little). Well... That's something you'll find yout soon ^^ Or you're smart and you've already figured it out (it's not that hard haha). I'm still coding it (I've just started coding it), I have no idea when it's finished.



rules

Do not remove my credits. You must keep the credit on the image and one link back (doesn't have to be a button).

Do not use my codes or images to make your own premades. You may, however, edit my codes to make a personal layout. No matter how much you edit the codes, credit is still mandatory.

Do not steal anything from my layouts, claim that you made them yourself or anything like that.


Of course, you have to read the rules before using my premades or resources. I do not make exceptions, break my rules and I will report you.

Contact me

If you ever want me to ask me a question, my neomail is always open! However, I would greatly appreciate it if you read my FAQ before neomailing me. You can find a short variant on this page, for the full FAQ click here.
If my inbox is full, send a neomail to my side account. I normally don't check that account very often, but if my inbox fills up, I will!

Note that I'm pretty slow with my replies. There's a huge change I don't immediately get back to you within a day (or maybe four). Please be patient, I get a lot of mails and it's not always easy to keep up with them.

Short FAQ

This are some questions I get asked very often. It's not my full FAQ, if you want to read that, click here.

Do you take requests?
Yes, I have my own button request site, Perfect Symmetry! Sometimes I'll also take petpage layout requests (see that page for more information). I do no take requests for other layouts or graphics.

I can't seem to find the save button on the petpage layout ...
Since the filters have changed, I've had some troubles with making the save button visible. You may not see it on your layout, but it is deffinitely there! Check this page for ways to save the page anyway.

Where do you find the pictures you use in your layouts?
All over the site! But mostly here and here. You can also use images from plots, the advent calendar, wearables (If you're too lazy to look for them yourself, this is a great page with all backgrounds) and caption contests.

What programs do you use to make your layouts?
I use Photoshop 7.0.

Where do you find your backgrounds?/Could you put your backgrounds up on your resources page?
The patterns I use for my backgrounds are, as you can see in the credits section, from 77words at livejournal. Since I did not make these patterns and you could easily recolor these patterns yourself, I do not see why I should put them up. However, I've made some backgrounds from scratch which you can find here.

I want to change something to your layout/I have a coding question about one of your layouts.
Try this page first. If that doesn't solve it, you can always neomail me. Please be specific, tell me what's wrong and which browser you use (this makes it easier for me to find the problem). You can also mail me if you have a coding question not related to my layouts.

Can you teach me how you make/code your layouts?
I am currently working on some tutorials!

Can I use your codes for my own layout?
Only if the layout is for personal use, so no premades! And you can only use the codes of the premade layouts, I don't want you to take any coding from the custom layouts. Also, please leave the credit. You do not have to worry about the credit on the image. If you change the image, you don't have to credit for that. Of course, you do have to leave a link back to this page.

Do you want to work for my site?
NO! Unless it's a small project and I only have to make one layout or something, but most of the time NO!

Do you want to inform me when requests are open?
No. I believe that's unfair to other people. Also, I can't neomail everyone who asks this, that's just crazy!
