| Layouts & Site |
| Hardstar.org was registered on May 1st 06 with Netrillium. The current layout (#5) is titled Shmokin Dope, and was put up on January 26th, 2009. It was created in Adobe Photoshop 7 and Paint Shop Pro 7. Previous layout and art credits are listed in the art gallery section, and all other sources will be credited on the page they were used unless they are 'unknown'. All layouts in overall appearence were made by me. Graphic programs to make these layouts include Paint Shop Pro 7 and Adobe Photoshop 7. My blog is powered by Wordpress. I reccomend tutorial tastic for code help. As far as site history goes, I used to own moon-beams.net, nine-days.net, cj.killar.net, and many others before that. Most of my previous layouts can be seen in snippets in the art gallery. My experience in webdesign is a total of nine years as of December 2009. I do take a lot of pride in all of the work that goes into my site and my designs so please, no stealing. If you have a question, please contact me. |

 The name "Hardstar" was originally coined by JD Fortune, the lead singer of INXS. The world-wide debut of the phrase was made through a personalized t-shirt Fortune had worn on the reality show series, Rockstar: INXS. I personally took to the name for quite a long time, completely falling in love with it. The word may have originally been Fortune's own creativity, but now the name has a special meaning for me, too. The phrase JD mentioned to explain the word in a September '05 interview was to "Fly hard, hardstar," and I guess maybe in life that's what I plan to do.
