As we all know only too well, life often gets in the way of our online time...:cry: :headbang: I wont be as pro-active here myself for a while, as I have loads of projects to do for college and need to get stuck into them now the Easter holidays have arrived, (we finish college tomorrow for 3 weeks, but I have a lot to get through in that time).:type: Now that the new blog launch is out of the way, I will be able to just pop in and post articles and answer comments as time permits, but in the summer I will be able to really get stuck into more techie stuff which I am looking forward to.:cool: So, you take it easy, and put your feet up for a week or so. :coffee::moon: I will still be around to help if I can in the summer, when hopefully we will both have a little more free time. :grin: Dont worry about not being around, Kerry.

I already use stylesheets a lot and know quite a bit but nothing about div layouts et al, so hope to get into that soon. I am going to be using a lot more css in the doll layout I have planned too, certainly using css to code the link, font, bgr tags etc for the new layout, so looking forward to getting that finished Thanks for being an inspiration and sorry not been on lately, been feeling down and tired/stressed from too much on at work, so hopefully can relax for a few weeks before I start back for exam period, performances and moving house :) Oh joy! Love n Hugs Kerry xx I’m steadily getting there, planning on doing a css layout for Performing Zone, but editing a template to get started.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. Amazing stuff. Yes, I can see that writing css out by hand would be a bit difficult. I'll check out the links & look for a template to get started. :coffee::coffee: I'm thinking I better go make myself 2 cups of coffee for this. :wink: Nikki :dance: Jewel that is unreal but I do have a better grip on it now.

CSS controls all the fonts, colors and positioning of everything you see on the site, really. Whereas we used to use tables and font tags in our html, now we use divs (boxes) and lists to hold our content, and put all our font information in the css. Whether it is bold, verdana, italic, what size it is, what color is our text, what color is the background of the page, are we using a background image, where our logo goes- all of this is controlled by css. For example this page is divided into a header (where the logo and nav is), a footer (at the bottom for copyright stuff) a sidebar, (for all the links) and a page (index) for the middle bit. Each of these are separate php pages, but the layout of them is set using css. Have a look at my stylesheet here, to give you an idea of how much the css does. <a href="http://www.jewelswebgraphics.com/wp-content/themes/jwg/style.css" title="stylesheet" rel="nofollow">JWG Stylesheet</a> It is a lot to take in at first, but the best way to learn is to go and find a sample layout you can use (template), and make your changes as you go along. It is quite difficult to sit and write a stylesheet with a blank piece of paper, so to speak. Most of the links in the articles will be able to explain better and in more detail. :grin: Well it is funny you should mention css nikki, as I have just been tidying up my css stylesheet.

It is a lot to take in at first, but the best way to learn is to go and find a sample layout you can use (template), and make your changes as you go along. It is quite difficult to sit and write a stylesheet with a blank piece of paper, so to speak.

Most of the links in the articles will be able to explain better and in more detail. :grin:
