Yes, and make both sides match. Look up EIA/TIA T568A/B standards. Just have to make sure as if you reverse green and orange on one side, you make a crossover, but colors are used somewhat interchangeably for straight-through cables as long as they match.
Keep the pairs as twisted and sheathed inside the rj45 as much as possible when you crimp, otherwise you get interference that equals errors.

That's definetely not standard, but at least it looks like you have
kept the color pairs together, so you wouldn't have one side of a
connection on one pair and the other on a different pair.
A Cable wired with what you have been doing should work OK. Just
make sure you don't strip the ends first ;)
I would go ahead and use the proper color code just so that someone
else that comes across one of your connections won't be confused.

I was taught,

orange, stripe green
brown, stripe brown

If you just use the same colors on both side the wires
won't be
twisted inside the cable correctly and the cable will be
noisey and
give poor performance.

(With the plugs conductors facing you)
1 white-orange
2 orange-white
3 white-green
4 Blue-white
5 white-blue
6 green-white
7 white-brown
8 brown-white
Do both ends exactly the same, make sure you press the
cable in so
that all the wires touch the end of the plug.
That should make a good cable.
10 and 100 Mb cables use pins 123 and 6, 1000Mb cables use
all 8.
Pin 1 and 2 are twisted together and pins 3 and 6 are twisted
together. If you just put the same colors on both sides
you will at
least be making pins 3 and 6 not have their proper twists.

you forgot the link but I guess it is the cable. I had

enough
cable to just connect it without it looking pretty and
it worked. I
don't know though. My connections are good (I think)
so maybe
it is the
cable itself. That is all I can think of.

okay, I thought I did it correctly.... I mean
the modem is
lights when I plug the new cable in but my brother
tells me that
he still isn't connected and his box (windows)
won't ping
google. You just need to make the pairs alike
on each end,
right? I answered that question by looking at
a known good
cable. I just replaced the rj45s and same
thing. I just
restarted the ms box and after it started the
front network
computer icons lit up. Then I tried to renew
the IP but it
failed. Then I left and came back to the
computer and
there was
a bubble message that said it was connected
but still
couldn't
get any pages to load. Then I disabled the
connection and
reenabled and it said it connected. What's
going on?

No, Just crimp it the conductors on
the RJ45
jack will
pierce the insulation. If you have
stripped
it, it will
probably short inside the plug.
