  1. Yeah... I don't think you understood my original post. Okay. I'll try to find resources elsewhere and then come here for the particulars if necessary. If anyone would be willing to help, just send me a pm.
  2. Attached is a copy of the site as far as I got it. Here's the HTML: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>[re]act</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="page-wrap"> <div id="main-content"> <p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante. Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Quisque sit amet est et sapien ullamcorper pharetra..... /*abbreviated </p> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <ul id="main-nav"> <li><a href="#">05.03.12</a></li> /*I don't know how I would make these reference links to point to the latest blog posts <li><a href="#">04.30.12</a></li> <li><a href="#">04.16.12</a></li> <li><a href="#">03.23.12</a></li> <li><a href="#">02.28.12</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body></html> --- Here's the CSS: body { color: #333333; font: 14px Franklin Gothic Book; background: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width:960px; height: 100%; margin: auto;} a { text-decoration:none;} a img { border: 0;} #page-wrap { width: 960px; margin: 175px 0 0 30px;} #main-content { float: left; background: #d6d6d6; padding: 20px; width: 600px;} #sidebar { float: right; width: 200px;} #main-nav { list-style: none;} #main-nav li { font: 12px Franklin Gothic Book;} #main-nav li a { color: #333333;} #main-nav li a:hover { color: white;} --- Obviously I've got a long way to go. I guess this is just gonna be a plain old html site.. as in, I'm not going to use wordpress? Is that bad? Should I ultimately use wordpress? Wordpress has kind of messed up my idea of how sites work. It does a lot of the coding work and I can't really see it to understand what's going on. For example, when it comes to the blog posts, every time I write a new blog I would just have to go into the HTML and add my new post. But if the site was on wordpress, then I could just add a new blog. But thats where I get confused. I know thats where php comes in, but I know even less about php. I would like to add an image for the header, but looking up how to do that, I found a million different answers that didn't make sense and no one was there to explain what the code actually does.
  3. Well this was kind of the intention of my post. I was wondering if any member of this board would be willing to really just walk me through the process. To take me on as a project.. haha. I was following this tutorial, http://css-tricks.co...css-conversion/ and I got about 40 minutes into it before my code wasn't working the way his was. I could have continued to follow his tutorial and learned how to make what he was making, but it doesn't help me to know how to do things he isn't showing! He's using text mate and I was using web matrix. Is there a way to post my code in a separate little window so I don't take up three feet of web space?
  4. Just recently I've been put in charge of making some changes to my company's website. My boss in the main coder, and I've been using wordpress to make some changes with the CSS. I came into it with virtually no applicable knowledge of html or css, but I took some programming classes in highschool and understand the basic principles of what does what. As a side project to help myself understand the backend coding a little more, I was wanting to write up my own simple website in html and css. I've looked at a couple tutorials and watched some videos but whenever I have questions about whats going on, I have nowhere to turn! Attached is a mockup in photoshop I made of an incredible simple blog site. I have three nav links (home, about, contact) and then a few links to previous blog posts. I can manage the CSS properties for the most part, as in, what I need to tweak to get the look I want. But the problem is that I don't know all the code that ties it back to the original HTML. So here's my request. Would anyone like to help me along with this process and kind of just show/explain how it would be done. I know it's a lot to ask, but I would greatly appreciate it. It would essentially be a ton of hand-holding throughout the whole process. Maybe we could communicate through gchat or here, whatever seems best. If anyone is interested just let me know! Thanks!
