Can I be a designer with you guys?
For now, I don't know. I kinda like it with me, Meika and Meg here for now as the only designers. Perhaps in the near future! How do you guys make your templates?
Well, that's a good question. I, Diane, actually make templates using HTML which I write by hand. For images, I use Photoshop which is a tricky little b*tch to use at first. Megan, here, uses Namo Web Editor 4 for her HTML and an old image editor on her computer for images. Meika is the same as Megan except she writes her HTML like me. Making templates aren't easy to start doing, but with a little internet research, help, and understanding of web design you'll be fine. Can you guys teach me HTML?
No. We can help you if you're stuck, but we're not sitting down with you holding your hand while you write your own code telling you what to do every step of the way. Do you do customs?
Diane will do customs for free (she doesn't have a paypal account JUST YET!) plus free hosting of images. More information on that soon Hey, I just got a layout and my links, buddylist, etc don't work.. What's going on?
Nothing. They don't work because I put a code (%%USERNAME%%) on the links for you to replace your actual name there. The reason why it's like that is because if I put in lower case in the text-box it would convert to http://love-designs.diaryland.com/something.html and that'll be more hassle for you guys. If you don't want to replace your name, just change the username to lower-case. On my layouts, in the code, I keep seeing this thing called a blockquote. It looks like this:"blockquote". Can you tell me what that is?
Sure! This border you see around the text right now is called a blockquote. The color and border varies with our layouts and they're very useful babies. You use it to put outstanding text, lyrics, poetry or anything you want to stand out.How do I do the code?
Like this:
On my layouts, in the code, I keep seeing these things called "ol and ul". Can you tell me what that is?
Why not? Those my friends are the codes that control the look and layout of the bullet on your layout. They only vary depending what I put under "list-style-type". This is what they look like.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
In the following textarea.
Just replace the ol with ul depending on how you want the bullets to look like. Under list-style-type you can change it to be a circle, square, upper-alpha, lower-alpha, lower-roman and upper-roman
