This section is composed of various and sundry sets of decor created for home pages. These are of two kinds.

Some sets have "splash pages" created with Adobe Imagestyler (now defunct). The program is great for creating fancy-shmancy javascript effects without having to know any code. These are cute, but rather awkward, as the program slices images up any old which way and puts them back together with Byzantine tables. You can't just dive in and tweak things without opening the program again. I've put these in zip files so that once you open it the page is set up. You change the names of the links to the names of your pages, add text below the map, or whatever. These splash pages are on their own unless I indicate that they'd look nice with a set. People who don't like splash pages can easily discard them and get on to the other elements.

There are also more traditional page sets, where you download the little buttons and backgrounds to put together as you wish.

• WITH SPLASH PAGES
  • Entre Nous is very "deco." By the way, if you don't have java enabled, there are links to the "vanilla" components of any of these sets below.
  • Egyptian Reverie has a splash page. It is part of a set, so go ahead and click on it!
  • Celtic is a classy java glow splash. It is also part of a set, so it is safe to click on the button marked "enter." It will take you to a new page.
  • Crane has a vaguely Japanese feel to it. Feel free to click on the screen.
  • Pleasures has that carpe diem feel to it. No real pages are on the other end, so don't click!

  
  

• VANILLA SETS
  • Goth Geisha is a whole-hog triple bordered site. You need some HTML experience for it.
  • Blue Fairy is a simple left border set.
  • Wood Fairy is in neutral color.
  • Kit-Kat Club is a fully framed site done with tables. You'll need a little HTML savvy to set it up.
  • Formica has a nifty-fifties feel.
  • Blue is another left border/button set.
  • Mystery Men has images for java rolls and a link to a rollover tutorial.
  • Pink is, well, pink! It is a left bordered background with matching buttons. There is one blank button, too.
  • Flutterbyes is a cute set. There is an imagemap for the index page, a little header for each page, and an extra blank button (the font is called Jester). It is made for a white background.
  • Patriotic images in red, white and blue dominate here.
  • If you don't have java enabled, click here for the Egyptian, Entre Nous, Crane or Celtic sets.

Don't forget the link back! The older sets have links to the old site name (Decor-elle). Don't worry, it's me. I found out there was already a magazine by that name and decided not to court lawsuits. Some day I'll get ambitious and swap them out.

Outlook Express Stationery

Sort of like a portable web page! If you use Outlook Express to send your email, you might have noticed that it has an option to send HTML coded messages. You might also have found the basic stationery that comes with it. When you get bored with that, why not try one of these. Just put all the files in the same directory, wherever you keep your Outlook stationery, and it is ready to go. Warning: because this is a Windows feature, Netscape browsers will not display the effects properly.
