how do i place buttons under my banner? I want to put a home, contact, portfolio and pics buttons under my banner... any ideas?
nammer
What kind of buttons? Graphics? Links? A link to your site would help us see what you're trying to work with too.

You can just type in the html under your banner. right below the span class="description" tag... do you know html? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out what your question is smile.gif

Do you understand how to code HTML?
Sandstorm77
no

If you're going to be modifying your templates, you'll need to learn HTML, since that's how they're coded. I would recommend that you stick with the default templates until you've learned something about HTML.

Here are some online tutorials to help you get started smile.gif

i know basics...i just dont know if im supposed to edit the main index of the style sheet. and what coding to put in

The Main Index Template is a good place to start. And like Sue said, below the <span class="description"> is going to be below your banner.

The example site you linked to was actually text not graphics. So you might do some looking around and see what you really are wanting smile.gif

Kadyellebee,

I would love to be able to do those pop-up rollovers you have oun your listing to links...

How did you do that?

Can you tell me?
kadyellebee
Which ones? the albums for the songs I'm listening to??
The tutorial for that is up at Winamp Hoverable Playlist. If you don't have a lot of HTML knowledge, I'd definitely suggest starting a secondary blog for testing this because its a bit more complex than just copy and paste! smile.gif

my HTML in the Main Index looks like this:
CODE
<div id="title">
</div>
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li id="active"><a href="http://www.aldaynet.org/" id="current">Main</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.aldaynet.org/archives.php">Main Archive</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.aldaynet.org/index.xml">XML feed</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.aldaynet.org/refer/">Referers</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.aldaynet.org/contact/">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

i have the banner actually set as the background image for my title DIV, the corosponding CSS code looks like this:
CODE
#title{
color: #ffffff;
background-image: url(http://www.aldaynet.org/images/l/logo-k.png);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 75px;
font-size:1px;
}

#navcontainer ul{
padding: .2em 0;
margin: 0;
list-style-type: none;
background-color: #990000;
color: #FFF;
width: 100%;
font: normal 90% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: center;}

#navcontainer li{
display: inline;
text-align: center; }

#navcontainer li a{
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #990000;
color: #FFF;
padding: .2em 1em;}

#navcontainer li a:hover{
background-color: #CC0000;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: underline;}


and it produces this
