Welcome to Gaia! ::

Catiris
Sean--
Thanks~
And a question (on pain of sounding very dumb), what did you write the index.html file in?

& do you have a cat or cats already awaiting death, should there be any of us who do not fail? Or do you refuse to plan for something so extraordinary?

edit// oh wait, hey--so we can't do hovers?? That's one of my favorite parts :C
Without hovers text and links can get bland...

It doesnt really matter what I wrote index.html in. Its simply the html template. But for your information, it was written in dreamweaver. However, it will not matter. HTML and CSS are universal codes.

Also, you can still do hovers. You can do anything you usually do in CSS and more. Anything you did on your Gaia profile can be applied here. In fact more, because I do not place restrictions on your coding like Gaia does.

Using the same :hover.

a { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover { color: #CCCCCC; text-decoration: underline;}

Oh good, so you're not counting it as "adding to" the HTML.

Poor kitty ;A;

it's not adding anything to the html
its just further editing the tags of the html using css

that's the point of css

That was why I asked, because I wasn't sure whether it counted as a tag of the html or not. (:
I like to know things very specifically, because I just learn self-taught snippets here and there. I can "do" the coding, but defining what I do in writing is a very different thing x)
I'm mostly a visual learner :P
aww ********. valid CSS?

My CSS NEVER validates, cause I always go YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD LOOK COOL...ROUNDED BORDERS!
I don't understand this.

So what are we ACTUALLY suppose to be doing? gonk

So we make a site in dreamweaver...dose it have multiple pages or...

Also what did he mean dont edit the HTML just the CSS?

I don't really know proper code......

AND WHAT DO I DO WITH THE FILES>

Larz is officially confused.

EDIT: What are HTML elements and what is actually CSS. ninja

      holy crap in a box :C
      nobody gets it :C

      @tre, can't you just use a background image with some curved edges? ;3;

      @larzar
      okay
      visual it like this:
      in the page you download, there is some html and content. the html defines each bit of content, and gives it an id. this is exactly like the page source of a profile of html, it has the content, and ids (like #about, #comments, etc).
      So basically, what you are doing is pimping this page with css, the same way you would pimp a profile with css: use the ids to move it around.
      also, this is like you're editing one page of the website, not the entire thing. call it the front apge or something.
why does everyone drop the zoid? I would much prefer if they did what my friends on dA do, and add an es on the end...make it TREES! I don't use curved background image, cause that increases the weight of the final produced HTML document. and thats not how I roll wink

after reading through the readme in the file...I am so glad that I don't really care for kittehs all that much.

I will just have to remember to use valid CSS biggrin

not hard though biggrin
Shangrii-La

So I don't use Gaia codes do I?

      you don't use gaia IDs, but the coding like {background: #000000; border:1px solid #fffffff;} is CSS

Everybody loves CSS3 except internet explorer. Blame them for your invalidation. D:<

@Larzar
technically you are using "gaia codes" Like tazer said, HTML and CSS are universal. The only thing different with this is that there's different IDs (which tazer gave in the stylesheet) Basically it's all the same stuff, on a different template.

    I get it now. Yay.
    [/lurklearning]

    :3
    I'm happy.

    So the style sheet just has the IDs and in the parenthesis, you just use CSS coding? That's fairly simple.

    I felt so overwhelmed when I first looked at it and had no idea what to do because I had never seen HTML coding, or any coding for that in a while and didn't think into what I was seeing.

    Haha, even though I didn't ask any of the more.. Important questions earlier, thanks for you help everyone, I understand now.

OKAY, WHY DO SO LITTLE PEOPLE KNOW CSS?

the gaia tags are based off of gaia's profile html
the # tag styles the <div id=""></div> code of html
so the #about of gaia profiles
would style the <div id="about"></div> part of the html

YOU DON'T USE THE SAME TAGS
BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT DIV ID'S IN THE HTML
OKAY?
OKAY
