Code Masters...

[Dean in Eureka, CA]

Hmmm...
I was updating Nanny's Niche', getting things in order for the 2008 IRG 2.0 and I noticed that my links in the header for bg's teardrops.us, Grant's Destinations and Mike's T&TTT are gone.
I don't know if I did this, or if it happened during the server change that was made earlier in late July.
(It was probably me...)
I found the right file to edit, but I could sure use some coaching on the code side of things as to what needs to be edited in and just where the heck to put it...

Thanks in advance

I dunno how to fix that (not experienced with that board providers) but my suggestion would be to make a sticky with the links for a temporary replacement and let everyone on the board knows about it.

This would be useful to keep until u have that link header issue cleared up

:EDIT:
could you tell me what code is this file in? if it is in HTML, javascript,CSS, or similar internet related codes; I migh be able to help you out by looking it up in the right place and explain what u need to do. PM me with info if u wanna me to check it out anyway. (try to copy and paste the code to the PM so I can look it up and maybe if possible I'll be able to edit and send u a revised one to copy and paste into your file)

:SECOND EDIT:
I won't be able to respond in a few hours cause I gotta go over to taco bell and finish filling out the employment form then once that is done I have to go out to another side of town to partipicate in the SCA heavy combat weekly practice meet.

Good idea Will.
Here's a section of the code where I believe the editing needs to take place...

[curiouswill]

i'm back cause the thunderstorm out there are cancelling the SCA meet (i think cause I'm not gonna check it out and risk breaking my hearing aid anyway).

Look like the links is back. did somebody figured it out and helped you fix the code or was it a issue wit the server or something?

Kinda like a gal I used to know. She'd dip her ducks in paint & have 'em walk across the canvas. Sold 'em for amazingly big bucks, around $350 a pop.

She called it...

Okay, I see you got your code problem fixed.

I am going to submit a trouble ticket today for this out of sequence problem. Got a couple more examples handy?

Mike,
Joseph pointed one out in Off Topic/Cali? with a refernce to the time stamp also...
I think there's another one in MJ's SCG thread too.

Ya know... I find that the html code stuff is actually pretty interesting. It's sorta like learning a foriegn lanuage, but not as tough because some of the stuff is in English.

[curiouswill]

I've just noticed the post mix-up. oh well.

Ya know... I find that the html code stuff is actually pretty interesting. It's sorta like learning a foriegn lanuage, but not as tough because some of the stuff is in English.

Yeah HTML is pretty interesting to learn and i'm currently trying to get a graphic tablet so I can develop a web design graphic for my site so I can create my own custom button with some really good looking graphic. In the mean time my site still look amateurish.

But if you compare learning html to using a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) program (like a drag and drop web site creator) you could say that using your own code is like having no chaperone and thus having all the freedom to design your site exactly the way you like it to having a chaperone (the program) that limits your choices and only accrept certain way of arrangement. (hope you understand what I mean)

HTML are more similar to a cipher rather than another language cause you only need to know a few tags then you should be able to figure out a whole list of combinations on your own and to be able to use english inside it. (plus if you know html, you would then be able to understand a few other programming language as a side bonus such as CSS, Javascript, and similar web based language)

BTW my site is http://www.freewebs.com/radscientist
I need to add a section to the "about me" page so I can include my TTT plans and my other plans too.


(if anybody want, I can PM them a list of links to a couple good sites for learning HTML on your own (My HTML class in Colorado Technical University suggested those sites as a extra resource of reliable knowledge)

[Nitetimes]

You can pretty much do what you want if you have a basic understanding of HTML. I've been using it for years. You really don't even need to know a whole lot of it to get a nice looking site.
I did this one with basic HTML and Photo Impact.
They wanted clean and simple and that's what I gave them.
But you can go nuts with it too, I did this one for my brother years ago, needs updated really bad.
You can make them too busy to the point where a site becomes annoying.

[asianflava]

I haven't done it in a long time but what I used to do was use a WYSIWYG page builder then toggle between the page view and the HTML view. I would get it close with the WYSIWYG interface then tweak it in with the HTML. Doing this also helped me get familiar with the HTML tags. The sad thing is, I've probably forgotten all of it.

Dean, I'm guilty for removing the header links when I upgraded the pamplingrove forum.
