Actually Andrea it is your article that I am using to practice on. Instead of column-left I used Navigation and put in a home page and three pages called page 1,2,& 3 using a ul tag for dummy links. And I put dummy text in the other columns. I figured out that the margin setting works to push column-right over and can play with the float. Still though I can't get the bullets contained in the nav div when I change the color. If I use white you can't tell but when it is red it looks funny. So how do I change the columns to horizontal? Also, how do I put another div under my nav div?

Good morning, I created a practice web page and it has three columns. What video should I watch to move my columns around? From horizontal to vertical. How to add a buffer between columns in either plane? I used a br tag but my right column moved down not over, in the vertical position.

ya, still not finding it....but can't I add css to over-ride? I know, bad form and all that but just until I can reproduce the theme myself.

BTW Ben, On post #22 where did you find the #menu things for me to correct? I can't find it.

I found out something pretty interesting. I could not get my divs to appear which started this whole head banging thing. So I started over and over again, and as I copied code from the how to build 3 column article...the first two of the divs I could see but the last I could not and while my teeth were about to shatter, that voice in my head that I call Holy Spirit said " put some text in there" and you know what? Voila, you cannot see divs if you do not have anything in them. I think I am on to something - others may say I'm on something. Anyway, why do the bullets from my ul tag stay outside the div?

ok...Do you know of any documentation similar to W3Schools that is available online? W3 is all I know of but it is confusing me. Ex. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_layout.asp I am trying to wrap my head around blocking off sections of a web page using div tags. But here on this page it appears they are styling the div right then and there. This seems contrary to a single style sheet. That said, I also would like to be able to picture a web page in my head in sections/sectors/ I guess. How big is a web page? Browser and monitor aside isn't there a basic formula..X vs Y...rule of thumb to go by?

Good afternoon, I'm suffering from information overload. I am practicing simple html and basic css and can't do what I imagine is the most simplest task. I simply want to create a bunch of div's (I think) to create different blocks that I can style via css. I want to simply create a page with various geometrical shapes just to get my foundation strait in my head. Kind of a puzzle if you will to cement structure basics. But now I am like "where did I learn that...html....css.(no not there)..or did he do that in php.(WP from scratch)...ahhhhhhh!!! SHUTDOWN " Would you please head slap me and put me back in the right line?

Ben, You hit the nail on the head. It was set to 50%. Much obliged and my wife Cheri, says "Thanks!"

Hello Everyone, Sorry if this has been addressed earlier but has anyone seen IE suddenly render the font size of any page like at 2px? I personally use Firefox but my wife likes IE and she can't view anything with her version of IE. She was running IE7 but upgraded to 8 hoping that would fix the issue but no.

Hi Guys, As programmers/coders do you recognize/respect the W3 Schools certification program?

naaaaaaaaaaaah....I am going to trash this go around, watch more vids and try again later.

OK....If you take a look at the home page it looks stupid. Here is the code that I am using to get my gradient but as you can see there is some sort of repeat going on.....Can you tell me what to get rid of for a smooth background like before? background: #d0e4f7; /* Old browsers */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #d0e4f7 0%, #73b1e7 24%, #0a77d5 50%, #539fe1 79%, #87bcea 100%); /* FF3.6+ */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#d0e4f7), color-stop(24%,#73b1e7), color-stop(50%,#0a77d5), color-stop(79%,#539fe1), color-stop(100%,#87bcea)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */ background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #d0e4f7 0%,#73b1e7 24%,#0a77d5 50%,#539fe1 79%,#87bcea 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */ background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #d0e4f7 0%,#73b1e7 24%,#0a77d5 50%,#539fe1 79%,#87bcea 100%); /* Opera11.10+ */ background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #d0e4f7 0%,#73b1e7 24%,#0a77d5 50%,#539fe1 79%,#87bcea 100%); /* IE10+ */ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#d0e4f7', endColorstr='#87bcea',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */ background: linear-gradient(top, #d0e4f7 0%,#73b1e7 24%,#0a77d5 50%,#539fe1 79%,#87bcea 100%); /* W3C */

I'm giving it a go now...Give me an hour and I should be able to get basic home page up...I'll keep you posted....

Good morning, You are correct in what you are thinking....I am half way finished with WP from scratch. I would not go as far as to say my head is spinning...I get what he is doing. I am just getting caught up on the syntax of PHP. I don't get the () just before he closes a PHP tag....Also there is video called intro to API but he never really deals with it. He references it but...I understand that it is coding for designers but...Do I need it? How do I get it? What do I do with it? I am sure you saw Ben's reply, I would like to keep that site live while I build the new one. Now both of you have mentioned tables that do not need to be there and it starting to become an inside joke with me 'cuz I still don't know what you guys are talking about..What tables? LOL...Please I mean no disrespect...I know you two know they're there, and one day soon so will I!

Yes I am a subscriber.

Not exactly what I was prepared to read. That said, where do I start? Can I still run Wordpress or is this the beginning of my Jedi training and I have to do this from scratch? While I await your response, I will get going on the Wordpress from scratch videos...
-
I have been trying to fix this for some time with no success so with my hat in my hand I will ask. If you look at my home page there is a little blue space between my page menu and the border of the page. How can I close that gap?

I definitely would like to pursue private tutoring. But go on vacation and have a good time. Let me know when you get back and we can go from there. I want to get up to speed as fast as possible. I should have completed all the tutorials in the html and css series by the time you get back. BTW, do you have a preference between Dreamweaver and any other editor? I took Ultra Edit out for a test drive and for $50.00 seemed ok to me. But I now found notepad ++ and for free works just fine. I never really had the chance to use D.W. but I know how popular it is.

Andrea, I was e-mailing Stefan about a mentoring program and with the new videos and courses he is preparing, it is taking up all of his time. He did say I may ask one of the advanced members and you are the one he listed. I am looking for someone who can set aside 30 minutes from time to time to bounce questions off of and have that type of mentor-student relationship. Of course compensation would be required. Is this something you would be interested in?

Do you know how to configure the slide show box?
-
BeeDev, I think I set it that way originally to have the blog title span across the whole page. I didn't have that black border at the time. It was one big landscape. But I changed it to 100% and the scroll bar is gone now. Thanks. Ericlenhard, I get it...Don't quit my day job. As far as the images, I don't know how to customize the slide show MM box. Honestly, I wish I could because I could use better images. My wife doesn't like any of them but I felt I needed to put something there that at least spoke to the digital world. Mission failed I guess. Andrea, I do not have the creds to say this but I think the Atahualpa theme is adding that code. I just learned what a span tag is last week. I simply went into the WP back end added a page and started typing in the window. I promise you, I did not add any HTML.

Thanks Andrea, I will complete the HTML CSS pt1 series and see if I can knock out the nav bar issue... I could not get the (if I am using the correct wording) correct padding down. I would increase and decrease the padding and that wouldn't work so I would increase and decrease the font size and that didn't work so I left it. BTW, what tables are you referring to?
-
You guy's are fantastic!!! The only thing is I really do not understand. I know you can see that I am using WordPress but all of the CSS, tables, and hacking, I really didn't know I was doing it. Basically, I went to the theme forum and looked for similar questions and ( stupidly) copied and pasted code where they said and pretty much got the desired effect... So realizing that I couldn't nail down certain aspects( my nav bar(what is rollover anyway))I went looking for people who can really help me. And I found you guys. So I paid my yearly subscription and got started at the beginning HTML and am working my way down to CSS and will get to PHP. That said I don't know how far you all are prepared to go as far as guiding me to correct the problems you see. Truthfully I am overwhelmed by your responses. Pleased beyond words for sure, but overwhelmed. So if you guy's are up for it where do I start, and what lesson should I watch to understand what you're talking about? Also, I just read about validating before asking for a review. I am so sorry for not seeing that first and wasting time, my apologies.

Hi guys, I do not know what your patience level is but do you have a moment to peek at www.arjcommunications.com Would you consider this site a good beginning for a newbie or ...."Buddy you need to practice your skills" If you do not have the time I certainly understand.
