  1. Hi all, and thanks for stopping by! OK, so this is the deal: I'm not very good at styling and configuring proper alignments when it comes to CSS (e.g. padding, margin, border). As you've probably guessed, I'm a novice when it comes to web-design. I took an intro to multimedia course this past fall and I was literally just teaching myself at that point. Didn't work out apparently... So, I've designed a basic outline and structure for my soon-to-be website. I plan to eventually incorporate a commenting system, a forum system, and some other things, but it'll ultimately be a place where I post certain news topics, articles, and etc. For now however, I'd like to be able to get my over-all design to work, so I've uploaded an attached my HTML and CSS files in this post. What I've outlined in my code is meant to show a basic home page, with a header at top, a navigation bar underneath, and finally the actual content. What I have in mind is having some kind of infinity-scroll kind of scheme that resembles what you find on StumbleUpon or Reddit. In any case, an issue I haven't been able to resolve is the positioning of the content. If you take notice, the table I've created in the "class='content'" division is inline with my #navbar, which is incorrect and cannot be seen unless you scroll all the way to the right. Based on the code that I've written, I would have assumed that all it needed was some style tweaking, but alas, to no avail. So, if anyone could please assist me in my problem, I'd be extremely grateful. You do not have to create the code again for me or help me on some long-term scale in terms of functionality, but if you could please point out where I'm wrong and list any improvements or suggestions, that would be great! Again, list as much as you can. Any suggestions or corrections would be grand! Thanks guys! Sincerely, - Bryan example.css example.html
  2. Hello and Thank You for those that bothered to take a look and help me out! So, as you probably already guessed, I need some major tips and if at all some suggestions in correcting/improving the overall site structure of my soon-to-be blog-ish site. I intend to include a overall slim and easy on the eyes structure. I'm no pro at designing web pages-- in fact, I just finished taking a basic web development class at my community college and am only getting started on really getting things done. So as to progress even more, I thought I'd come onto this site, hoping that I'd find people who are even more so capable and knowledgeable than me in this area-- moving onto details of the site-- My aim for this site is to have a news-feed/stream implimented as the main focus of the site, which consists of either content of my choosing, for exmaple: updates on a certain current event in the manga industry (manga: japanese comics), videos or specific vloggings I've posted or want others to view-- or related content. I've included a photo as an attachment to give you an idea of how I'd want that to look like, more or less. Just think of those smaller windows/panels being put right under my header and such. I also plan to include a way for users to become members of my site (for free) where they'd then have access to posting comments and or creating postings of their own as well as having the option to take part in polls or other interactive means. I'd also like it if I could have something of a forum area to the site where users are allowed to start conversations and the like. That's the idea I have now for the site, so all it is now is an ideal framework. The reason I am mentioning this to you at all is not so that you can make the site for me, but instead help me prepare myself for whats to come and maybe give me some tips and explanations of what I'd need to do in order to properly set up what I have in mind. I realize my idea is not that original as there are plenty of sites around that feature and offer the same deal, but I've always felt something missing in those at present. And so I somehow or another got the resolve to make my own. I may never make it out there or raise enough populace to succeed in my goals, but I'll never know until I try! So, with that said, I have also included my original html back-bone structure (as an attachment) for you to see what I have so far and maybe you can help me out by telling me what's good and what's bad. Please do not refrain from being honest. I'll consider every opinion and suggestion I get, so feel free to give your input. As small as it may sound to you, it just might help me out big time. Things I noticed to be off is the spacing of my header and footer and everything else pretty much. Should I adjust these? If so, how? By how much? Where else should I pay extra attention to (i.e. margin, border, padding, etc.)? I know it might sound like a chore to some of you, but I'd be real gratefull to those who at least tried to look at my code. I don't expect a lot of feedback, but if you could at least look at my html and css, telling me what's wrong with the random side-gaps in my navigatoin bar, I would be giddy enough. Once again, I'd like to thank those who try to help me out and if you have any further questions of me, you can contact me via this site. I think there's an option to send personal messages or something (haven't been here long). I leave it to you guys, - Bryan MY HTML: example_html5.html Picture (of StumbleUpon site) for reference:
