Tutorials

[Sara]

About 6-8 months ago I started writing tutorials. I have been adding to them the past few weeks.

Please check them out...if you have an idea for one I should write or you see something wrong in one of them, let me know!

One thing you can do with the styles-site.css template is change the way your background looks. You will have to do this on all the classes, but it's really simple!

Let's say you have a background you want to use. You would just go to your .css template and put in the acutal link for the img you want to use for the background. Like this:

background: img src="http://yoursite.com/nameofthegraphic.gif";


it should be...

background: url('http://yoursite.com/nameofthegraphic.gif');

or

background-image: url('...');

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#color-and-background-properties it's in the spec ;)

Thanks for pointing that out.

It can be used either way, it does work. The other one will too I'm sure. Maybe I will add another way, but, it will only confuse someone that is new to urls and how things work. I have found that out over the past years. Give them 2 choices and they want to know why.

Hey Sara,
Great tutorials, I just went through them. Keep up the great work, and thanks for posting this here.

Thanks Steven :)

I'm trying to incorporate more of the CPanel ones as well, for our hosting clients. Even though that means I'm taking away my tech support biz! I would rather people learn though.

I don't understand how that works... that must be a new feature in IE 6 or something, because I know for a fact that it does not work for me, and i am running ie 5.5.

I can assure you that it does not work in other browsers, and maybe only in the latest versions of IE.

I would try to teach people the right way if anything... and if it won't render in a browser that is not even two years old its pretty far fetched.

Sorry, im a picky technical geek.

That's cool Harmonic, we all have our nitpickin'! I suppose I should go and fix it. Maybe when there is actually someone reading them? :guess

I will be fixing it this weekend hopefully! Thanks again!
