Website Design Help

[Mr_Mischif]

I'm trying to design a personal website, and I need some help on getting the design right.I want it to be like this site, only have the "About Me section moved to the left, and add some space for some contact links. All I really need is the CSS code for it, and whoever helps me out would get credit.

do you have the template already b/c most blog sites like that can already be downloaded... either look into the CSS file or inside of the index file for the CSS info. CSS is very easy to code i'm sure if your doing the rest you can figure this out.

example:

[CODE] body {
background-image: url(../images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
div{
margin: 0 ;
padding: 0 ;
}

#container {
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;
/* opera does not like 'margin:20px auto' */
text-align:right;
/* part 2 of 2 centering hack */
width: 800; /*ie5win fudge begins */
height: 100%;
background-color: black ;
}
#header{
background-color: black ;
padding: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#headerlogo{
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;
}

.BG { background-color: none;
background-image: url(/images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: 0px 0px
}


.body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #333333;
line-height: normal;
}
.heading {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #666666;
} [/CODE]

[blare]

Change this part

[CODE]#main {
width:410px;
float:left;
}
#sidebar {
width:220px;
float:right;
}[/CODE]

to this

[CODE]#main {
width:410px;
float:right;
}
#sidebar {
width:220px;
float:left;
}[/CODE]

That should be it

[Mr_Mischif]

Change this part

[CODE]#main {
width:410px;
float:left;
}
#sidebar {
width:220px;
float:right;
}[/CODE]

to this

[CODE]#main {
width:410px;
float:right;
}
#sidebar {
width:220px;
float:left;
}[/CODE]

That should be it

Will this just change the About Me section or move the whole right side to the left?

[blare]

That will move the whole right bar to the left. You are looking at some work to get only the about me section to the left.

[w3bcod3r]

Just write the code of "About Me" before the code of "Saturday, March 31, 2007
Dooce Decisions" and like blare said change up the css a bit. gl

[Mr_Mischif]

OK, niw I got it working somewhat, it's at http://mischif.110mb.com/main.html but I still have some problems.

I want to move the links on the right side out from under the title block, I want to mave the center further toward the middle, and I want to move the left side closer to the middle.

[Mr_Mischif]

Oh right, the CSS is:

[code]body {

Could you explain it again? You want the links left aligned rather than centered?

[an0therh22]

why don't you just go to blogspot.com and sign up. they have that layout you're wanting to use as one of the default layouts.

[Mr_Mischif]

why don't you just go to blogspot.com and sign up. they have that layout you're wanting to use as one of the default layouts.

I want my blog to be on my own website.

Could you explain it again? You want the links left aligned rather than centered?

I want to move the links on the rigt side out from under thetitle block at the top; I want the center text to be moved closer towards the middle; and I want the About Me section on the left to be moved more toward the right.
