That's an uploader I am making for a Project.

That looks incredibly good.
Modern, simple, elegant.

I find myself good at like the programming of sites but not designing at all (e.g. my site [monolithic.tk])

One can tell a great deal about a person from the design of their site.
I like your colour palette, the navigation, and the way everything fits together. The layout is easy to use and fits the content. The corners are slightly too rounded to look good, however, and you probably should add your writing to the navigation and/or provide some way to navigate back to the main site.
The text-shadow on the headings is interesting.

I've made what I can legitimately call the best looking web site I've ever made. I'll attribute that to use of Photoshop to design the site as well as more than normal extensive use of textures, fonts, and CSS. It's on here [schedule.16skittles.tk]  You may have seen my other thread for it as well. At the moment it's pretty much just a front page, but quite a dapper front page. 

OnSchedule does sound very useful and the site looks much better than the old one.
I would suggest that you make the shadows less intense, or lighter, as they currently look  far too heavy. The top (navigation?) bar also looks out of place; either make it match the rest of the site or make the site match it (aesthetically).

Your links on your old site are broken/link to the 000webhost 404 page, by the way.

I've said this before, but I can't ever move on with a project until I style the majority of it. I guess I just don't want to be staring at a white screen with text as a result.

Same; I usually end up restyling things at least twice before I feel like it looks somewhat decent.
What websites have you made?

Oh I've made lots, but I'm not sure what is still hosted or ever was in the first place. Hm. I also recently deleted all my files when I was reinstalling xampp so all my old stuff has been wiped clean.
Uh I have better stuff, but it's on another computer, so here's a screenshot of something I made in one night.

boomp

I'm making a tumblr theme. It's pretty fun.

People, check out this [http://978.gs]

I've always preferred 960.gs, but this could be quite useful.

Start small. Perhaps a personal website to showcase work, or an informative site on a topic you enjoy?

I might :3
How does the tumblr theme look?

it looks pretty loud but i get the impression that's what you wanted

Is it cross-platform? Like, does it look the same on different browsers?

I'm not sure 

I'm gonna test in in IE. IT'S SO SLOWW 

EDIT: In IE, it doesn't display the shadows and the timestamp

I'm optimizing my site for the different Grid Systems, beginning with 978. Should clean the design up a little bit.

I think the sign's the wrong way round... there, fixed 

Having tried Emacs quite seriously, and then switched to Vim, I can say that Vim is definitely worth learning. Modal editing makes much more sense than all those modifier keys 

Your sign was the right way around but you forgot something

Anyway, yeah, as far as (not command-line) editors go, Geany is my fav. There's an auto-complete system that *actually works*

e.g. I type <div> and Geany auto-adds the matching </div>. And typing </ will auto close the last open html tag. Which you can fold by the way.

I probably love it so much because it comes with #!linux however :3

edit: I have a cruddy website in the link on my siggy. Not much, but kind of fun. It's just a php thing I found onlinez, and made the css for.
I also have this which may be useful for two player games. And it uses javascript without the <script> tags! amazing! 

Yeah, nano is great. Never figured out syntax highlighting though.

I want to know more about it.
It seems useful and modern.
I like this style...

Wow. That site looks great. I have never tried painting graphics to use. I always completely use HTML on my stuff, except for a site I made that depended heavily on CSS for a page header that always stayed on your screen.
