Making a Simple Site


Question Posted Thursday September 27 2007, 7:41 pm

I want to make an 'anything site' you know, like add quotes, codes, etc.

like this for example:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I tried that but it's too complicated.
so maybe something simple for me to start off with by adding links, pictures and such?

and if you can, give me an example?
Any sites in mind?

Not MySpace please.
Thank you!

**Look at the right side of my column for contact info: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) **

I'll design a website for you for free, visit [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) for more info.

If you don't want me to design your website, you can use this template:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http:// www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title><!--put your title here-->
<style type="text/css">
body{background-color:brown;margin-right:10%; margin-left:10%;text-align:center;font-face:times; color:green}
</style>
<body>
<!--put text in proper html format here-->
<p><img src="http:// example.com/image.jpg" alt="example image"></p>
<p>example text <a href="http:// example.com>example link</a></p>
<!--end content-->
</body>
</html>

Notes about this very basic template:
-Images(<img>) and breaks(<br>) need to be in <p></p> tags to comply with HTML 4.01 strict.
-All text needs to be in <p></p> tags
-To change background color, look for "background-color:brown". Change brown to whatever color you want. You can use hexadecimal color codes, here's my guide: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
-To change font, look for "font-family:times" and change it to whatever you want. The reader needs to have the font installed for it to work, otherwise it will appear as times.
-To change text color, look for "color:green" and change it to whatever you want.
-"margin-right:10%" prevents anything from being in the right 10% of the page, as does margin-left. This is to emulate the page you linked.
-"text-align:center" centers all text. Change to text-algin:left for normal behavior
-To comply with HTML 4.01 strict, all images need to have the alt attribute, even if it's blank.
-All links need to start with http://
-You must remove the space between http:// and w3.org at the beginning of the template. I had to put that there because advicenators turns it into a link.

Good luck!
