Why did I choose this layout?

Why did I choose this layout? I chose this layout because it is easy and simple to use, as well as simple and realistic to create. Many other websites that I researched also use a similar design, so I think if I use a similar design to successful websites then my website will also be successful, and people will feel right at home.

Why did I use Minecraft-themed Images and font?

My main ideas behind using Minecraft-themed images and the Minecraft font is so that Minecraft players (what website is aimed at) will feel right at home, and also find it easier to recgonize that it is in fact a Minecraft website.

Why am I not using Dreamweaver or other ‘easier’ methods?I have been personally learning HTML and CSS by doing it the old-fashioned way – in a basic text editor. The truth is that I honestly prefer this over other programs such as Dreamweaver, because even though they can help you create amazing websites with ease I find them difficult to use and I don’t feel like I have the same control over the code.

Why did I only use one image for my article background, navbar and sidebar?

I learned this technique a while back when I was making a different website. This method saves website data space, and also is quite convenient to use. Basically how this works is that I have loads of images combined together, and when I import them onto the website I just choose certain pixels to import, to import certain parts.
