Was waiting for your input.

I actually have 0 skill with CSS and have no idea how to use it. I was just going by what the Helpy thingy was sayin..

I plan on takin a bunch of web design classes though

CSS is very powerful, if you just do a little reading on it you should pick it up pretty quick. I didnt look at your code at all but looks like you did a good job with it. One thing i would suggest is maybe using some of the link properties using CSS to get rid of that bright blue for the links.

[matthepepe]

take a look at this it does give a good explanation of the link properties.http://www.htmlite.com/CSS006.php

[PakmanRevd]

Sweet, thanks man. I'm gunna edit it soon

[matthepepe]

one other suggestion would be to not use such a dark color scheme i find that red on black like that is very hard to read especially when using a smaller font.

Also, there is a lot of code there you dont need, if you want more info as what im talking about let me know.

[PakmanRevd]

Yeah, I am changing the font to white, I was trying to stick with the theme.

[paintreliever]

nothing u guys said made any sence

Any input is appreciated, I wanna learn this as best as I can.

[pimpinsaylor]

nice job buddy

[matthepepe]

Any input is appreciated, I wanna learn this as best as I can.

start out by gettting rid of every font tag there is and using css to manipulate the text.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp

that'll help also to change the color use the color property

color: #XXXXXX; whatever color you want.

[PakmanRevd]

Like this?

<font style="font:8pt/8pt arial; color:maroon">

[matthepepe]

all the tags that look like that should be gone.... and you can put the font properties in your CSS file

if you know that all your text is going to be maroon, you can put the font properties in the body tag of the css

so inside your css file you would have


body {
font:8pt/8pt arial; color:maroon;
}

otherwise you will want to make a new class for each color / type of text you want to use. and put the text inside a div and a class attribute (ex. <div class="white-text" )

Its kind of hard to explain but once you see how it works its pretty easy.
