For
He wants to know how I got 11K+ page views. One of the reason, I gots a bitching page.

Now the tutorial is in the damned descrition damnit so start reading! You guys need to get off your fat lazy asses anyways! This is my secret to making such a great page, and how you can make one just as good, if not, better than mine. :)

First off, you need a most obvious theme/idea for your page layout. Mine is most indeed Halo. That will play into how your tables look, your page colouring, banners, background, etc. Now, note that some of these may not be needed. They are always there, but some people find comfort in making pages without banners (me), without a background/tables (Ex. ) but the page can still look just as great. You also need an image hosting site for your images. I use Photobucket for my hosting. I am located at http://photobucket.com/albums/y167/MetaFinal49/ for those who wish to look at my page layouts. I have multiple in use in different accounts. Please do not use without expressed permission. :)

[size=14]Something Basic[/size]
Select a background image and a banner image in which you may want to use to tie into your background. I'll take my club, .
This one is moreover of a Matrix based theme. Once I picked out my BG, I hosted it under this URL: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/MetaFinal49/WallPapers/Matrix-Halo.jpg
The banner came next. I went into photoshop and did some editing with the banner. The top bar that runs underneath the updates, inbox, submit, forum, etc. I also hosted in a folder I named page overrides inside another folder I named Overrides 2. The folder 'overrides 2' was to be kept empty. I'll show you why soon. I went to my Userpage Settings, and used GoroUnreal's Overrides Tutorial to set up the Background, Top bar, and banner. Note that I did also host the avatar there. It's not needed, but I like keeping my avatars hosted just incase if I were to lose my original file.
See Here for the Overrides Box. I also assumed a page layout. I arranged my boxes in places to make my page see more even. You can do this however you want.
Remember that empty folder called Overrides 2? Now I'm going to get to it. See, this is the folder URL that was explained in Goro's tutorial, and that's kind of hard to catch. So I went into photohop again, and started messing. You create images that'll fit around into a box Like So. MAKE SURE THAT THE IMAGES ARE SAVES AS .GIF FILES!!! THEY CANNOT BE ANYOTHER FILE TYPE! THEY HAVE TO BE NAMED THE APPROPRIATE TITLE TOO!

table_tl.gif - Top left pic
table_tlb.gif - Top left background pic (this image repeats across the top left of the top bar)
table_tm.gif - Top middle pic (this image appears after the heading text)
table_trb.gif - Top right background pic (this image repeats across the top right of the top bar, it also starts under the middle pic so be careful)
table_tr.gif - Top right pic
table_l.gif - Left pic (this image repeats down the side of the table)
table_r.gif - Right pic (this image repeats down the side of the table)
table_bl.gif - Bottom left pic
table_b.gif - Bottom pic (this image repeats across the bottom of the table)
table_br.gif - Bottom right pic

Then you submit the 8 images into your folder URL As So. Go to your page overrides and type this in: Here
Congratulations! You nearly completed the whole thing! Now for your page colours! Go here for a list of Hex coded colours. Put them in your page colours Like So. When you are done, make sure that all three of those tick boxes are marked (They are right under "Profile Colors:."

You are done. Now, go marvel at your "simple" design template.

This can be explained also for my page. The folder URL for the tables are Here.
How the page is set up can be found => http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/MetaFinal49/Tutorial/SS5.jpg

Basically, follow the exact steps as you did before.
For the table overrides: http://photobucket.com/albums/y167/MetaFinal49/Overrides3/
I have a bit of a transparency with the table overrides. The way to do that it to create your sections of tables on a TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND. MsPaint will not work for you people! You need to have something a bit above average. So once you have that done, submit that into your folder URL. Do your page arranging, page colouring, etc. Make sure that the Background is in place. And etc.
Now, to set the mood, you need music right? Well, to do so, you must need Flash to do so. Create your ID with your flash and the song. Make sure you don't have some kind of play button to start the music. Just a sloppy copy of the ID will be great. That way, the music starts playing. Setting the mood and all. Great. Now, play around like tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum for some awesome page combinations. You'll like it.

That's about all. I will also take comments on other subjects of the matter. Any comment and question. :)
ENjoy.
