Answers and Quesions

Question: Can you make me a layout?
Answer: Sorry, no. It's mostly likely that I won't because it would take too much time. Another reason is because it's hard to please the person I make it for. What I think is beautiful may look ugly to someone else. If for some reason I did agree to make you a layout you would also have to agree to my requests. Like the layout I make must have my credit on it and your site must have my link. Of Course you can also make your own layout. I have a tutorial that can teach you how. [Tables Layout Tutorial]. The tables layout tutorial has been deleted. I'm sorry for those who wanted to learn how to make a layout for your site. {update} We now offer premade layouts. They are under the design navigation. Enjoy.^^

Question: I like your __________ can you make me one too?
Answer: Sorry, no. It's mostly likely that I won't because it would take too much time. This especially means layouts.
*Update-[9/10/06]- Due to the large amounts of requests we will NOT make any graphics for anyone else's site. Please stop asking. If you continue to ask we will ignore your messages.

Question: Can you teach me HTML?
Answer: Sorry, no. Again, that would take too much time to teach. I'm not even an expert, I'm still learning myself. This also goes for CSS and JavaScripts.

Question: Can I link your site to mines?
Answer: Of course, please do. That's why I have buttons in the first place. You can find them [here].

Question: Can you link my site? or Affiliate with my site?
Answer: Yes, but I prefer to link with anime and graphics sites. With the exception if you are a really close friend. [Contact me here] you must follow the rules on the link page. Plus it would be great if you put my link up on your site first. If you decide to contact me about this please have my button or link my site to your site before asking me. State whether you want to exchange links or become an affiliate. Also state what you want your site to be called and leave your (first)name or screen name. Thank you.
As of June 23, 2006 we decided that we will only take seven sites as affiliates to qualify as an affiliate please be sure to have done everything regarding becoming affiliates or exchanging links with us on the links page.. [Apply for Affiliate/Link exchange]

Question: Where did you get your images?
Answer: YOu can view our credit page for more info. Search engines like yahoo or google but most of my images come from [Anime Galleries.net] they have alot of images from alot of anime series plus mangas. Sometimes the images are from another site so please view the information that is displayed above the graphic. Most of my grahics has information about them such as: the image ID, series, character featured, creator of the graphic, date added, image size and image credit.

Question: What programs do you use to edit your images?
Answer: I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS2. I use to useAdobe Photoshop 7.0 but I bought a new computer so I got another version. I also use Adobe Photoshop Elements and sometimes even Microsoft Paint. I really want to try Paint Shop Pro. but I don't have any money for that. lol.

Question: Where do you get your music?
Answer: First, of all I would love to upload my own music but that would take up alot of bandwith. So, instead I use search engines to find the music I want. You can check the credit page for where I got the music for the current layout. If I really had to I would upload my own music but will delete it after I change the layout.

Question: Can you tell me a site where I can learn HTML?
Answer: Sure, I can. I personally didn't learn from this place but maybe it can help you. I hear great things from this place: [Lissa Explains it All]. The site where I learned HTML from was at [Draac.com].

Question: Can I be on your staff?
Answer: Sorry, no. I stated on my staff page that I'm no longer looking for staff members to help me run my site. I just had so much to do on my site that I asked my really close friend to help me. She's helping with so much and really trustworthy. She's aleady a great help. Thank you, Lukia! So I don't need anymore people helping me.

Question:How often do you update your site?
Answer: It's hard to say. We generally like to update the site when we are planning to add something that has fairly alot of information or coding to the site. Such as new grapics, new tutorials, anime summaries. Otherwise there are times in which we add little things to each page every other day. Which doesn't seem important to mention. There are also times in which there is an update to the site and there is no date change on the enter page. Unless stated otherwise when we do not update in a long time my partner and I are still viewing the site to check for messages or mistakes.

Question:Can I put your ________ on my site, credit you?
Answer: Sure you can put them on your site and please do credit me. But please do NOT redistribute them on your site. This means putting them up on your site so other people can take them. Please don't do that! It's stealing. I work really hard on my graphics and even though you credit me I still don't want you do that. As for giving me credit, I give credit to ALL sites, programs and even people I use or associate with, so give me credit. I NEVER put anything on my site without permisson from the creator and I always read their terms and conditions.

Question:Why don't you do premade layouts?
Answer: For this question I give you the same answer for the first question, it takes too much time. Plus I haven't had the time to make extra layouts. I will try do make some in the future. They will not be downloadable because I feel that those are a pain in the butt. Just copy the code and enjoy. {upsate} We now offer premade layout. However we do not take requests. You can view the layouts under designs in the navigation.

Question: Why is it that you don't have your email here?
Answer: I don't want strangers to email me and send me viruses. (This has happened before.)I only want my friends to email me. Plus I would get alot of mail that I would consider spam and it would flood my inbox. Which will result in me going through my inbox looking for emails that I want to see and read from my friends and family. Yes, it's nice to get some feedback from my visitors but it's always "Hey! I like your site." not that there's anything wrong with that (I do that) but you can always leave those comments on the tag board or send them through freewebs so there is no need to know my email address.

Question: I'm your friend on __________ can I have your email address?
Answer: Sorry, no. Not friends on the internet. By friend I mean if I can see you in person and talk to you. There are occasions when I give it out to people I barely know but that's only for school. Just because your a friend doesn't make me want to give it to you. This does not mean I want to meet you in person. I understand that you want to contact me faster and get an answer but there are other forms of contact so please try those.

Question: Why is your site called Crystallized Anime Dreams?
Answer: This site was once used for a guild on Neopets. Later the original owner Animesprinkles, decided to change the name of the guild to Crystallized Anime Dreams. Thus having me, the guild's website designer to change the site's name. Now the guild is no longer active and this site has removed most of the neopets things.

Question: Can you come to my site and be a staff member?
Answer: Sorry, but no. I have my own site to worry about. As for my partner Lukia, she already stated on the staff page that she's not going to work with anyone else but me. (Awww... she makes me feel so special.)I'm sure if you ask around someone will apply and you will get a staff soon.

Question: I'll give you my password, can you go into my account and make a site for me?
Answer: Me? go into your account and make a site for you? Believe it or not I actually got this question and heres my comment: Sorry, but that will never happen. The answer is "NO". I'm too busy thinking of ways to make my site better and don't have time to work on anyone elses' site. Another things is first of all you should never ever give away your password to anyone. Well, I guess with the exception if you really trust the person and you need them as a staff member. (**cough** Lukia) But if you randomly give a person your password in hopes that they will make you a site it can be a really bad idea. So please don't give out your password.

Question: Can you contribute to my graphics?
Answer: Umm... Well, it depends on my mood and if I get credit for it. But I'll only make one. Of course the question is similar to number two so there's a high percent rate that the answer will be 'No'.

Question: Will you link my site if it is not hosted by freewebs?
Answer: As long as you have the following: a place where I can contact you other than email like a message board and of course follow the rules of affiliates/link exchange then the answer is yes. For example- Bravenet or geocities sites.

Question: Can I put my email up so you can contact me?
Answer: You can but it is not nessesary. Lukia and I will NEVER ever contact anyone through email. Please do not believe anyone that says they are from this site if they email you. We may contact you if you are an affiliate but that is it.

Question: Do you do requests?
Answer: Well,it depends on what you are requesting. If you want to suggest a theme for the next layout then that's fine but I won't make anyting as a request.

Question: I found someone who has stolen from you, what should I do?
Answer: First of all let me thank you for telling me. Give me the thief's site address and let me check it out. If they really did take something from me and not credit me I'll report them.

Question: Why was I removed from your affiliates/link exchange list?
Answer: Did you read the rules? You must have broken one of the rules. The rules change often but those who are accepted before they have been set are ok unless you are told that you will be removed. Go to the links page to check out the reason why you off the list and who put you there. After that you will have to talk to Crystal and then reapply.

Question: I want to apply for Affiliate/link exchange, where is the form?
Answer: Did you read the rules? Be sure to read EVERYTHING under affiliates if you are applying for that or EVERYTHING under link exchange if you plan to apply for that. If you didn't read the rules you can't get to the form. People who use the form have a 90% chance of becoming affiliates.

Question: Can I edit a image I see on your site?
Answer: Sorry, but no. Only if you ask for permission will that be allowed.

Question: Why don't you get your own domain or get hosted?
Answer: That's a great question. Well, first of all this website is just a hobby of mine. I just do it for fun in my spare time so I don't want to spend money on it by having to pay for a domain. Second, Looking for the right host for me can take a while. I want a host that can support php, css, scripts and more. (I know freewebs does not support PHP) I "m currently using something else like PHP, so I'm fine. Plus I will have to adjust myself to their rules. Third, If I did get hosted I would then have to move. Yes, I'm LAZY. I will also have to re-code and make a new layout for my grand opening and inform all my visitors to go to to my new site.

Yay, without even looking I got an offer to get hosted. How lucky for me. My new host Miaki at Anime-sin.org Is sooo nice to offer to host me. At the time I was unsure but I thought to myself if someone is going to give me something I'm going to take it. lol. I'm no longer with anime-sin.org because the owner decided to close her site down.

Mimeiko.net is my second host. Owned by Heather. She is sooooooo sweet and offers a lot. So now I'm happily being hosted and cared for at mimeiko.net
