Website Tweak Help

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

This isn't a tech question, but a plea for assistance. Some of you may remember a while back, I asked for someone to design a website for me. I had khagg do it, and he did a great job setting it all up. However, there are a couple kinks I'd like ironed out, and for whatever reason, I can't seem to get in touch with Kevin. Would anyone be able to help? The list of things I need done are:
  • - Changing the sidebar links from text to "buttons"
    - Changing the "Editorials" page on the sidebar to "Links", to be moved right between "Forums" and "Contact" at the bottom of the sidebar
    - Jazzing up the top link to the home page from the white text to something more colorful or word art-ish (but not that corny! :lol: )
That's all I need help with. If anyone feels that this is something they can get done quickly and efficiently, please let me know in this thread, and I'll give you the link to the site and login information. Just like last time, I'd like to reiterate that this site is political in nature, so if you have a problem servicing a site that goes to preach a certain belief that is opposite to your own, then this may not be for you.

Though I would greatly appreciate it if someone would do this as a favor, I don't believe in getting something for nothing, so you would be reimbersed in some form. My PayPal account priviliges have been suspended until further notice, therefore I can't pay money; however, I can give you stuff, I've got plenty of SNES, Genesis, and a GBC game lying around, as well as some other odds and ends, both tech related and not. Let me know if you can do this. Thanks in advance!

I wonder why they didn't go through? Probably has something to do with the fact that all my PM boxes are full... :lol:

Anyways, Sky handled the header design as I can see, so could you just make that link back to the homepage? The sidebar you're building looks good, too. Oh, and for some reason, the template is still having that same problem in FireFox. Any idea as to why? Thanks a lot man, and sorry for the communication error!

I'm not sure as to what's going on with the firefox thing...

Other than that though, it should all be good to go. I was wondering what was going on with the header :P Looks great Sky. Did you just edit the logo file?

And Josh, when are you gonna start adding some substance to all my hard work. ;)

I can do it if you email me the files, but it's really not all that complicated.

This is fairly simple to do without images, it just requires rollover effects. Unfortunately it requires a lot of code if you do it in HTML, and I'm not sure of an equivalent CSS definition. Here's how I did it on my site:
Note: I had to use an image instead of a code box because phpbb cut out all the important parts.

I know tables suck but it's the easiest way to get it done for something this simple. :P You will also need to change the hex color codes to whatever colors you want.
- Changing the "Editorials" page on the sidebar to "Links", to be moved right between "Forums" and "Contact" at the bottom of the sidebar
This is also fairly simple to accomplish. Just drag the appropriate code around and change the text.
- Jazzing up the top link to the home page from the white text to something more colorful or word art-ish (but not that corny! :lol: )
Damn it <s>Jim</s> CTF, I'm a techie, not an artist! :P
