Oh, that's fine then. Don't you hate how it's sometimes so hard to tell online?

Indeed

Hey man, I do what I can , What you also didn't know is that we made Jick T-shirts and we sell them at school. It's nuts!!!!

I was going to make Foniqui Tshirts that also had small references to movies on em. Television Without Pity does a whole slew of shirts that make TV references- I want to do that with movies.

Titanium: Most of those are really nitpicky but the article one is helpful. I do want to make it normal size and will when I get frontpage on my new computer and I do want to remove the margin but I need to also get photoshop on here. Both helpful in making my site as professional as possible.

Also, Lincoln Lincoln is the name of my friend/film partner's movie. It refers to a rhyme he heard- didn't make sense to me either. It sounds good sounded out though.



Okay Ryan: I'd say obtain a copy of Photoshop and Frontpage or something and use slices. That worked for me with absolutely no HTML nescessary.

I dunno what to do!! I mean, I want to make a simple HTML site now, but I feel that it has to be awesome! Because all I am doing is thinking of that Flash site, my friends (14 years old) were saying it was completly cool, because their 14 and of course they would like that stuff and wouldn't understand what I was doing if I just did an easy simple HTML site. Take a look at thissite. It's simple and it's easy to navigate through like TD said. But for some reason I can't start on it. I want a site that is like in the center of the page and the middle content adjusts to your page width, exactly like this site. I use GoLive.

No, no... I'm talking about the dot before Lincoln, Lincoln being odd.

Yeah Ryan, that site is beautiful

Ok, to keep a site centered you need to put it in a single celled table, and center the table. It's not too hard, just make sure you have a good understanding of tables now, so you don't go crazy when they get tricky later.

OK TD, what do you think now. I mean it's a start. I just have one question. I'd like there to be borders on the sides of the table, not ALL AROUND. As you can see. I also, want them to be just one lined instead of like 3D looking. That's what GoLive had as an option so I click it. Also, how do you make a table inside of a table and make it go where you want to. Thanks and tell me if there's anything I should fix, i.e. colors etc.

Go grey!

Yeah, I like it as grey too.

Beautiful already!

The only way to get the 1px border in only some places is to actually make it out of table cells. It gets complex, but it does the job.

I get the feeling you're making these tables in GoLive visually (which is fine), so you don't quite know how the code works. I'd suggest learning to create a table by hand, writing the code. They get so complex, so quickly, that it soon becomes hard to manipulate them in the visual mode, and becomes necessary to go into code view.

Anyway, good luck! Keep me updated, and ask me whatever you need to know.

Yeah, I'm doing the tables visually in GoLive. Your right, it's a little frustrating, but I'm getting there. But for the 1px border, your saying to make the border in Photoshop and make put it on the outside of the table?

It would be easier to create a table cells which are 1px wide and as tall as the table, and others 1px tall and as wide as the table with filled backgrounds. You'll have an unequal number of rows and cells and need to use rowspans and columnspans (again, this is why it's better to learn the code)

So it could go like this:
row 1: 1 cell, 1px high, all the way across, with a columnspan of however many columns it needs to cross, with a shaded background
row 2: however many cells you already have,
and so on

Oh, and to put tables inside of tables, just drag another one into one of your cells. If it won't go where you want, go to code view and drag it into the cell there.

Yeah man the site is looking better already, or that updated version, I must disagree with some some people when they say flash is annoying, MOST of it is. but when used in the right way it can be pretty amazing stuff. What i personally like is a flash intro into a site, then a nicely formated site like THIS a freind of mine did, Flash intros can be really cool. But as far as all the adice your getting this is just my two cents, Personally I would listen to TD, looks pretty educated on this stuff.

Oh, do the text in a small arial font- it always works no matter what style site you have... and everyone can view it.

LDK, I agree, flash can do cool stuff sometimes. While that flash intro you linked to was indeed cool, and did indeed require flash to achieve, it still broke a few rules of general website law. Thou shalt not make sounds unexpectedly. Thou shalt not have splash screens or intros. Seriously though. Don't intros bug the hell out of you? They serve no purpose, and hardly anyone every waits through them.
