Hi there! Just saying hello and what a nice surprise to find a great site you have here. Particularly nice for me to see you've got forums for cosmology and astronomy..a passion of mine since a kid. I'm off to have a quick nosy in the Palaeontology forum now.. a lesser interest of mine![8D]
Keep up the good work guys, a nice place you have here!

Welcome babs.
Your SPD website is one of the best designed, best laid out, most user-friendly sites I've seen in a long time. Who did it for you? (Or did you do it yourself?)

LOL thank you for the welcome..[:D]Michael, I have a bad memory at times[}:)]
Thanks for the web site comments Solvay. The site is made by myself from a basic design I found on the Open Source Web Designers site. I have always made my own sites from scratch with html in notepad..but this new one I couldnt be bothered with the html and I was in a rush to update, so just downloaded a basic design and built it up from that using new logos etc. I have written a lot of the articles, page intro's etc, anything not written by me is referenced.
I am pleased you find it easily accessible, sometimes the simpler designs used with some colour co-ordination can be the best.[:D]

I use OSWD templates too. Some of them are great. Especially if know enough about CSS to customise them a bit.

Best place to find good stuff IMHO. Theres some really good web templates in there. I am self taught in the html dept..and can play around with stuff now which makes web design such a treat and enjoyable. I recently helped an old chap make a crown green bowling website..lol...out of the goodness of my heart..what a kind soul..lol...coz he was having a nightmare using web page software and no beggar else would help him...you are so limited with that kind of stuff...if you are really serious about design you really should start with pure html and notepad and learn that way...then when you are good enough and feel lazy..you can use someone elses design and tweak it to what you want..best of both worlds then![8D]

I started with Serif Web Plus but that is really limited. All the pages have to be the same size & in the same directory. Plus it very rarely renders the way it looks on the page - expecially with large text.
I got an HTML editor called Matrix which is quite good but I later discovered another called 1st Page. That's excellent apart from using it's inbuilt browser. Far better to save the file and just load it into Opera, Firefox, IE etc to see if it works x-browser. I've already noticed some quite dodgy rendering differences between Opera & FF. FF seems to add extra lines & I can't see a way of stopping it as it's the first line in <p></p> tags where it happens. Using <br /> doesn't have the same effect and as for <ul>, forget it.
The only way I can think of that might work is adjusting the definition of <p> in the css sheet but that would beed java, I think, & Idon't really want to start messing with that.
I've noticed another difference in the way Opera & FF handle margins too & that's more of a problem as I wanted to do pixel precision <div> tags.
AS for the rendering differences in IE, just don't talk to me about them! [:(!]
I've only been messing with HTML for about 3 months and with CSS for about 2 weeks. I'm certainly finding CSS a lot easier to get to grips with, especially with 1stStyle - the CSS editor for 1stPage. I've tried a few others since, but I still find those 2 the easiest to use.

Hello Babs
Welcome and may your words flow from your fingertips.
Trying to get my head around dreamweaver. Think I need to go on a course, its so complicated.

I just use plain old notepad..write the html..and then use http://infohound.net/tidy/ to tidy the html up for silly errors etc and then validate it and the css in http://validator.w3.org/ easy peasy!
