Freebie: 'Pixelated Seamless Tile Background'

By -
Backgrounds and textures are increasingly important in contemporary web design. It can be hard to find suitable patterns for web design, I know, I've looked. It seems like everyone uses Adobe filetypes. Well here is a GIMP pattern (.pat) for free. See how I've used it below and then download it for yourself.

Create a high-tech look with this tile background. Not the crazy parallelograms, the gray part.
Use it for your background image in Google Sites for a fast-loading interesting background.

Try it as a table background. Remember edit html, background="image url here" in either <table> or <td>

Download the .png file using 'Pay with a Tweet.'



What is 'Pay with a Tweet'?
How can I convert this to use as GIMP pattern?
  • Open the .png file in GIMP > Save as... > Find your GIMP Folder (usually under your user) >save as a .pat > refresh your patterns and you should see it.

Google Sites Tutorials - Creating a Website

By -
I have a youtube channel to which I am posting videos of how to use Google Sites to create your own professional looking free websites.  Here's a little introduction to my video. First of all, I wanted to start from the beginning of using Google Sites to create a website.  Anyone can build a website with Google Sites with a little know how and some guidance.  I have been making websites for many months now, selling them and giving them away.  I use Google Apps all the time, and what makes Google Sites great is that it's free!  You can reap 100% profit here, well besides buying a lil' domain name for $10 a year.  So, please join me on this tutorial for creating your site with tips and tricks from a web designer. Please subscribe to my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/kirksvillewebdesign if you want to be notified of my next upload!  Have fun.

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better...

So, it might have been several years since I've made a new post on this blog, but that doesn't mean that I've stopped working on Google Sites. This month specifically I have poured hours into designing premium Google Sites templates that go above and beyond the standard offering of Free Google Sites templates . I've enjoyed crafting these themes, utilizing all the new tools available to me on the platform.  Here are some quick screenshots, but if you want to explore the full templates, come on over to my website.
