    Solved Making my own html page

    Post by MrMega July 24th 2009, 5:46 pm

    I'm making an html page, but it's not turning out great, I need desperate assistance...

    Questions:

    1. What's HTML for inserting a background image?
    2. How do you change the font? Like Arial, Verdana, etc.?
    3. One more thing: How do you make a list and dots with html? (like this:)

    Code:
    [list]
    [*]text here
    [*]text here
    [/list]

    Code:
    <body
    style="background-image:url(http://i41.tinypic.com/28auvzp.png);background-attachment:fixed;"></body>
    for the body background... edit the url(); with your background image link.

    Code:
    <span style="font-family: Segoe Print, Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; size: 2px;"><font color="blue" size="3"></span>
    for the font... to add moree fonts, add the font titles after ="font-family: following with a comma.

    Code:
    <ul><li>
    <li>
    <li> </ul>
    for the list... or you could just use • (ALT + 7)

    Code:
    <img src="LINK TO IMAGE">

    Anything else?

    Also, to make an image link to somewhere:
    Code:
    <a href="LINK" target="_blank" title="TITLE OF PAGE"><img src="LINK TO IMAGE" border="0"></a>

    The border="0" will remove the linked image's annoying border.

    Umm...nothing so far. A big thanks, man! When I create the HTML page then I'll mark as solved.

    EDIT: How do you align something to the right?

    Code:

    You can change the position ="right"> to 'left' or 'center'.

    Done! Not trying to spam, but Rok, do you think I can spice it up a little somehow...?

    Spoiler:

    I know it's missing a banner (in request now) and a link to the main forum (I'll do it after the banner's done), but how do you like it now?

    I think you should try changing the font from Arial (or whatever it is) to Century Gothic or something more appealing.

    I don't know if we are allowed to discuss ideas about users' sites, so I'm sorry if it's not allowed.

    Solved Re: Making my own html page

    Post by Rok July 24th 2009, 6:45 pm

    You just add the title of the font as the first font in the line. You seperate them with commas.
    For instance, if a user doesn't have the first font downloaded on their computer, then they can't see it, but they'll see the next font that's in line. So if you have something like the trashco font as first on the list, not many users will have it downloaded because it's a font you must download- it's not a font that's installed automatically and defaultly on your computer. So, if you have Century Gothic (which almost every single computer has downloaded) after trascho, Century Gothic will appear instead of trascho. So forth, so on. Wink

    Code:

    You can remove the ' target="_blank"' part from the code if you don't want the page to pop up in a new window. Wink
