Great. My birthday is an AUG and I'm going to ask for a morph. XD

Cool website, I dont know about in dw6 but in the newer versions you can go into the table layout and draw the tables where ever you want them.

nice i cant even build one!!!!!

It's seems a bit daunting at first. Steep learning curve. Once you get into it, it's not that hard.
I used Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks. I am going to start learning Flash 8 Pro next.
I don't want to fry my brain anymore right now. Maybe in a week or two I'll look at the Flash 8.
I have after effects too. I need more ram to run it. I'm not even sure what I can do with it.

Looks good! I used to make websites quite frequently in my free time, if you or anyone would ever need help I'd be willing to see what I can do to lend a hand, I can code but I'm more of a graphics guy.

Enser I need HELP!!!!!

There are tons of free site builders (most cpanel accounts come with one). What most people do is download free templates and just use them!

Yeah I'm sure that's an easy way to go.
Site builders are limited in what you can do, at least the ones I looked at. My last site was done that way. I'm sure there are a bunch of different ways to get it done.

Right now I'm playing around with different methods to protect my images. Any tips? I figured Flash Movie files can't be right clicked/copy or dragged to the desktop.
I'm sure there are better ways,that I have yet to discover.

It's either very slow to load or it's down right now. I can't see anything except a white screen. :(?

Weird. Loads fast for me. Anyone else have problems viewing my site? Could it be your browser needs the flash plugin?

I like the site, but I have one suggestion. I like the close-up head shots in your collection page, but it honestly doesn't tell us much about your collection. We need further back shots to show the characteristics of all the morphs. Most of them are recognizable, but if you are selling to someone who may not know as much about the different morphs, it could be better.

All in all, great work.

Thanks for the tip. You're right, I need to get more pics. Maybe some description.
Once I get some animals to sell there will be nice pics with a description and prices.
First clutch went in the incubator yesterday,,,:)

To protect your images just put a water mark on them, if its visible on a site, all someone has to do is print screen and they have your picture.

The site isn't coming up for me. I am not sure why?

Watermarks are on my pics. Anyone thats any good with photoshop can remove a watermark.

try the link. you should be able to just click my sig. What browser are you using? Do have the flash plugin? Most people are using internet explorer or firefox and the flash plugin installed.

I just looked at your pictures and sure your watermark is very easy to remove, it even took me a min to see it on some pictures. A proper watermark will not be removed with ease.

I agree.

It would take a good amount of time to cover up for even a pro. Most people probably don't even have the time, effort, or knowledge to put into snatching a watermarked image and removing the watermark.

Watermarking is the only way that I know of that will most likely deter people from using your images. Flash won't always work. I have a .SWF decompiler which will give me the image. (Decompilers are legal, by the way :) )

Exactly, a nice looking watermark will not destroy the look of your pictures and it will keep some people from stealing them. If i was a picture thief (that sounds funny) and I saw a watermark I would just look for another picture, it takes time to remove basic stuff from images and make it look right.

Flash makes it a little harder as not many people have a decompiler. Its better than using gif or jpeg as these can be copied easily. The files are not .swf, they are flash movie files. I don't think they are the same. Then again, I've been wrong before.:oops:

A watermark can be removed very easy...if you know how. I watermarked those pics before I resized them. I will have to fix that. I am making a new page with descriptions and maybe links to more pics of the same animals.

Thanks for the tips.
In the end, if someone really wants my photos that bad, I guess there's no way I can prevent it.

No a good watermark can not be removed very easy, you can remove them but it will be very easy to tell that the picture has been edited or something has been done to the image. I am not going to bicker with you on this subject.

Flash is tons easier to steal images from than watermarked images unless you have watermarks on the images in the flash.

Yeah the .fla is the source file, and the .swf is the compiled flash file. You're using .swf's on your site.

When you insert a "flash file", you're inserting a .swf file.

Awesome site man!!! Looks really good!
