Magix Club's Forum _ General Help _ Help needed with a Blog/Site

Posted by: {§hani} Feb 29 2012, 4:32 AM

HEY EVERYONE!
yes. its me again. i'm hoping there is someone out there that can really help with my site/blog. i'm trying to set both of them up but its proving to be a hassle.. you see i want this clean, simple stype layout ..something like http://thedyingswans.blogspot.com.au/. But its been so long since i did any coding that im finding it REALLY hard to do anything at all...
so if you could help that'd be soo appreciated (plus i'd link your site or whatever on my blog and love you forever and ever..)

I know Html, a bit of Java and currently learning Flash/Actionscript... nothing of CSS
I have made a few websites (from scratch) but never a blog i don't know if these are code restricted... they used to be time ago

I know CSS and some Java, but usually when it comes to modifying any code I can understand what is going on fairly well to make modifications. Is there a chance you could post a section of the code to give an idea what we're working with? If you do, I'll try to look at it Friday. Today and tomorrow are super busy days for me.

Most of it is CSS, (about 90%). The scrolling effect is with a simple javascript to fix your background or you can also use CSS.

If you're going to use Blogger, I don't know if there are code restrictions. =s

For the font & links:

CODE
body {
    font:  10px Times new roman;
    color: #fff;
    text-align:left;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    
}

a {
    color: #fff;
        font:  10px Times new roman;
    text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
}



Header->
CODE
h4 {
    color: #fff;
    font: 10px Times new roman;
        border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
        text-decoration: none;
        text-transform: uppercase;
}

h4:hover {
    color: #056c85;
    font:  10px Times new roman;
        text-transform: uppercase;
}

h4:visited {
    color: #fff;
    font:  10px Times new roman;
    text-decoration: none;
        text-transform: uppercase;
}




I use div layouts for the sidebar & content. If you're interested I can PM you the code. ^^ (Then everything would be 100% CSS though.... I love CSS & code pretty much everything with it XD)
