Hello, Just recently finished designing a site using microsoft publisher 2007 (bad idea) www.news-string.com what do you think of it? suggestions/comments..etc.. i bought the domain and server space on godaddy. was choosing a linux server a good idea? should i have gone with microsoft what are the ups and downs? also i kind of have a problem It is extremely hard to edit my html because of microsoft publisher basically scrambles the source code in it's own little way when i export it as html and upload to the server. Because of this i have decided to make it again using a html editor that more directly deals with the source code (it just has a couple neat things like shortcuts, auto fill-ins, error cheker) basically it's not a visual based editor, but allows you to edit just the code. It's called HTML-Kit. As far as using html code im familiar with the basics but no expert I inserted the java (basically all the content in my page) just fine, but im having some difficulty alliging text the way i want it. I want the new page that i am desiging straight from html code (not with publisher) to look exactly like the one i made from publisher. One problem i have in particulay is getting the "Search all News" properly alligned with the google search. and gosh theres so many alignments i have to work on..theres got to be more codes the ALIGN=RIGHT ALIGHT=LEFT etc..i mean what if i want it to appear within a certain perameter of lets say 3 screen pixels? how can i do that?
i dont get it...lol tried reading tutorials on padding here is the script for my google search engine: where and how do i insert the padding? youll have to go directly to my website and look at the script where it says google cse begins because it says i cant post live links because i haven't been a member for more then 7 days lol. thanks for the help
ok, nvm it's not working again lol let's say i want to insert the text "search all news" on the right side of my image (news-string.com). and i want it to appear ALIGN=ABSMIDDLE and a break after each word like: (lets say the XXs are the image, __are spaces) XXXX Search XXXX__All XXXX News heres what i tried: <IMG SRC="the link to image blah blah blah" ALIGN=ABSMIDDLE> <style> /* CSS */ p { padding-left: 3px;} div {padding-right:3px;} <p>Search All News</p> </style> and it doesn't work...suggestions?
Hey it doesn't look bad at all! on IE, the width of the frame is a little off but all in all it looks great.
i know it looks fine now but i designed it with microsoft publisher, and starting from scratch using a diffrent editor that is not visual based. the reason i don't want to use the code generated from the visual based editor is because it's all scrambled and extremely hard to edit. hehe read my first post
