Editing the Blog theme involves working with someone elses CSS and understanding the way their mind works. This has proven particularly difficult when trying to edit the delicious badge I added as it had its own CSS applied. After attempting to read through and understand what its creator has done without success I applied a “!important;” tag to the element which wasn’t behaving. This made it more important then the rest and therefore overrode the existing applied CSS.
HOWEVER, this is not somthing to be used on a regular basis as it shows that there is a problem with the CSS somewhere else in the document.
After a long day in the computer labs and much attention from Teresa I have the beginning of a personally designed Blog Design!
We were told that the design should reflect our personalities and so I have decided to make the focus of the design elements from a painting I brought in Bali earlier this year. It is a simple work which incorporates different materials including fabric and rope as well as paint on canvas. The image is of dragonflys
As the images is long and narrow it works well as a header bar. I have also cut out the dragonflys so that they sit speratly in the boarders of the page. This is teamed with a colcolate brown background colour and blue heading text. To ensure readability their is a white text box in the centre of the page with the Blog post text in black.
The left hand bar will hold the dates of the posts and the right hand bar will hold any add ons or links such links to my delicious page and flicker page.
.jpg still coming as I didn’t save it properly and can’t open it on this computer!
Final things to do…
*Make a back to top image to link rather then text
*Management page - “S” at top… broken link
*History page - needs some content on the left
*Program page - make sure all documents are linked properly
* Tickets page - more content so that I can add a second back to top link and ticket prices link
Website is loading nicely now and geocities isn’t getting overloaded after 5mins so I’m a very happy girl!
Still work to be done…
* Sponsors links to external website aren’t linking correctly
* History page needs something else… perhaps another youtube clip… or something else. There is too much white space currently and it needs to be filled with something
* Location page - somehow the maps ins’t showing the correct location anymore AND Festival button is too far left
* Folk School page not working
* Folklaw Conference page not working
* Tickets page right hand column is too wide AND can extend ticket information if I have the time
* Could possible add another form on the contact us page if I have the time
In the last few attempts to work on my website I have found that I am overloading it and it is preventing me from opening my pages to view online! After much frustration and help from Teresa we identified that my images were extreemly large for what they were. As I didn’t intend them to open any larger these was no reason to them to be so big.
Now they are smaller and my site operates far better and quicker!
Thanks Teresa!
