  • Either I have more visitors than I think, or my image files are too large. The bandwidth on the account had been exceeded. Thinking back now, I do recall receiving an email that ultimately gave birth to this post, but I digress.
  • This prompted me to check my stats, of course, and I've found that the number of hit's I've been receiving is fairly steady -- if only I could figure out exactly what it is I want to do with this thing -- then I might have a shot at "making something" out of it? Hm... then again maybe not.
  • It's been just a little over a year and a few months since I started this blog. This intrigues me only because I've all but abandoned it the past few months... Indeed... just what have you been up to, Kyle?
    • Well, a nice short answer to that last question is that I got a new job at Byrne Medical, Inc. doing Marketing and serving their IT needs. It's a good job, but I don't have a crapload of time (or maybe I'm just not making the time like I used to? Lord knows if I was this site would've gotten a facelift some 9 months ago. *Sigh* Which brings us to now, I suppose - Almost February 2008. Two words: Holy Crap. 2008 is stacking up to be on heck of a year... I don't mean that good or bad. ]]>     http://kylejackson.net/posts/are-you-dead-yet/feed     Chelsey’s Tattoo http://kylejackson.net/posts/chelseys-tattoo http://kylejackson.net/posts/chelseys-tattoo#comments Thu, 02 Aug 2007 20:13:35 +0000 KMFNJ http://kylejackson.net/posts/chelseys-tattoo Superchango Tatoo Studio.

    CheckOutMyInk.com is an up-and-coming tattoo social networking website where members can upload pictures of their tattoos and artists can get recognition for the awesome work they do. You can check out my profile if you're interested.

    I wasn't satisfied with the profile section, so I started messing with the CSS to reformat the layout of the page. A few other people have asked me how I did it, so that is what this post is all about: to help you customize your profile. This may or may not turn into a "series" of tutorials, depending on the response.

    Changing Your Background

    1. First thing you need to do is choose a background image. This can be anything, and I mean anything you wanna use as your background. You can use Google Image Search or your favorite Photo website to find something you like, or you can even create something yourself. Be careful about using copyrighted material - its not nice to steal. ;)
    2. Once you've picked out your background, you either need to:
      • locate the picture's URL (which can often be found in the address bar of your browser)
      • upload your picture to a free image host such as imageshack.us
      In either case, we need the picture's URL. So, copy the URL and, proceed to step 3.
    3. Paste the URL into this form field and push "generate". It will spit out some code that you'll need for the next step.


      Background Code Generator

    4. Copy the generated code and edit your CheckOutMyInk profile page. You need to paste the code in one of the fields (I prefer to use the "tags" field at the very bottom)
    5. Save your profile and view it to see if you applied your background correctly.

    Aug 6, 2007 UPDATE

    For any of you who customized your background before 8/6/07, I have added this code to make the background color of each section white, so you can read the text:

    If your profile's comments and text are hard to read after you apply the background, just copy/paste the above code in between the same tags you used to customize your background.

    You gotta hand it to the guys that come up with this stuff - it really is rather clever, nevermind downright despicable. ;)
