October Theme Contest *Winner*
*All Hallows Eve* By Ariadnes' Webwox
~IMPORTANT~
We started Theme Worx to have a working site to create, design and tweak css code in the creation of NING formatted themes. It is not for advertising or blogging...it is for the acquisition and creation of THEMES. Your page HERE is the page you use to make a theme. You don't need to go to your other sites and screw up those pages trying to make a theme.
THIS IS WHERE YOU CREATE YOUR THEMES.
This is a WORKING site, not so much a 'social' site. We are not here to offer you a free place to advertise. We are not a dating or matchmaking site. Do not preach here or post videos of preaching. Do not post videos on selling products, media or marketing schemes. Do not promote Wicca, Witchcraft, Vampire or any other cults here. You may make themes pertaining to them but we have the right to refuse to allow them if we see them unfit for anyone 13 years of age. We make THEMES here. All forums, discussions, texts, links, groups, photos, videos and questions should pertain to making THEMES. Keep it on the subject..THEMES and things utilized in making themes (graphics, tips, html site links, css coding site links, videos, photos, animation, etc.) When in doubt...
ASK.
Since we TEACH and allow creativity here on Theme-Worx, some people may have problems with text color contrasts in a few of our themes. Many of our creators are in the learning process. We will still post the themes they submit. If you have a visual problem and find a text unreadable, we suggest you simply find another to your liking. Most of our creators and staff here will gladly revise a theme for you if you ask them..POLITELY. We have been rudely accused of not keeping 'color blind' people in mind when creating our themes. Here at Theme-Worx, with nearly 2,000 themes, it is easy for anyone to find a theme that is suitable. We don't put strong restrictions on our novice creators. But we will work with anyone who comes to us and asks us in a civilized manner to make small changes to backgrounds or text.
Please read our TERMS OF SERVICE:
In joining Theme Worx you agree to, “plain and simple”:
No Nudity
No Soliciting, including links to marketing schemes, porn and nudity
No Advertising, Anywhere, including links to marketing schemes, porn and nudity
No Spam
No Harassment
No Stalking
No Porn
No Profanity
You will not post the codes or images of Theme Worx themes on any other site, unless the theme is your own creation. You may use Theme Worx themes on your own NING site and on YOUR page on any Ning site that you are a member. When in doubt, ask. Tutorials, screenshots and other images are copyrighted by Theme Worx and/or the creator.
Familiarize yourself with "Fair Use" Copyright Infringement Laws on the Internet". Using our themes on your NING pages is not copyright infringement. Posting our css codes or images (screenshots) of our themes or tutorials IS copyright infringement and no one posting said images or codes will be using them under the "Fair Use" rule (for educational, religious, judicial, or journalistic purposes) . Permission must be given before any images or css codes are posted on other sites and we don't give that permission to anyone. USING a css code to put that theme on your page IS permitted. POSTING the css code for others..not members of Theme Worx, is NOT permitted. Understand the difference!! Read the following:
All themes submitted by members become that creators and Theme Worx joint property.
Creators will not knowingly use copyrighted images in their themes.
If you are warned once and the behavior isn't stopped or the image not removed, you will be banned. We're mostly, adults here..respectable, clean, decent, civil..ADULTS, but there are some kids who come here, too. In the case of pornography or nudity..we reserve the right to remove the image immediately and possibly ban the member without warning.
You are all welcome to use our themes, and also, to join in the creation of themes here on Theme Worx and to add to the collection.
From our Themes Index tab you can view small images of all our themes. If you want to see how it would actually look on a page, including any animations (glitter, falling snow, sparkles, moving images, etc.) just click the "Preview this theme" link and the theme will open in another window. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO "JOIN" THEME PREVIEWS OR LEAVE COMMENTS ON THE PAGES!! The pages are 'dummie' accounts and are not actual 'people'. We decline every person who tries to 'join'. We don't accept 'memberships' to that site, as it is solely for the previewing of themes for Theme Worx
We have Tutorials accessible from the navigation bar, explaining how to make a theme, step-by-step. Each section of the css code is explained, you are given different borders, some semi-transparent background url's to use, a color picker with the color codes and an explanation of fonts. There is a 'blank' css code for you to use to create themes. All you would need to do is put the url into the parenthesis for the images you want to use as the main background, the header/banner and other backgrounds (navigation bar b/g, module header bar b/g, body and module body b/g), choose the style and color of borders, color and style of text, adjust your masthead height for the header you are using and a few other tweaks. It's not as difficult as it sounds and most people enjoy creating themes once they get the hang of it. Some find it relaxing, others want to pull their hair out.
Once a theme is finished, our creators post the css codes along with a screenshot as a THEME entry. We get them and include them in our collection to share with other NING members. You are not required to share your themes, but we appreciate any you would like to include in our collection. If you don't want it added, just don't post it as a theme entry. Please don't use the theme posting area for 'blogging". Use your page text area for things you want to write about. Also, please post your theme as soon as it is ready. Don't hold them until Friday and then post them all at one time. It causes a backlog and we don't have time to add that many all at once, when we can be doing them all along at a nice steady pace. We have a limit of 4 theme submissions per week, per creator.
Our Groups can be accessed from the dropdown menu under "Creators". We have "NING Themes for Dummies" in our Groups. It is a place to ask any question you have in the creation of themes. "PhotoShop Basics" teaches you how to make customized images for headers and backgrounds. Please, do NOT start groups that are not related to making themes. You may start groups on animations, graphics, coding, offering assistance in making themes, offering links to host sites for images and graphics, etc. Since we are not a social site, do not start groups in non-related subjects, for example: crafting, making a website, religion, music, how to sell a product, etc. These have nothing to do with making themes.
We suggest you join an image hosting site that offers PLENTY of bandwidth. Fileden is okay, but when a lot of people are pulling bandwidth from images in your themes, you can exceed it pretty quickly. We use our own web hosting site, Theme Worx Media. Our hosting site offers everything you need to start for FREE and our Premium account price of $19.95 is half the price of Photobucket's premium account or $39.95. Click the FREE Image Hosting tab on the navigation bar for information. We will generate the urls for the images you want to use in your themes. Choose the code that starts with http:// for use in the css code urls. In our left <--sidebar you will find other useful links.
Please post your questions to Bud in the "NING Themes for Dummies" group comments. It is a centralized place for him to find your questions. You can also post questions to him on his "JustBud" page comment wall. His "Themes Under Construction" page is where he works on and tests out themes, only. You can reach co-owner and administrator, Marlane, on her page by leaving a comment or a message. Find her also, on the Main page in Featured members.
We are glad to help anyone who wants to learn how to create themes or is having a problem with any of ours that they are using. Just ask either of us. Have fun and now go out there and CREATE!!
~Marlane and Bud~
