Phalanx, Question About your Calendar?

Post by LennyZ »

How did you get the days with comics to be italicized and blue?

Someone told me that if you want to customize your calendar, you have to make one yourself from scratch. Is that how you did yours?

Calendars are affected by the hyperlink settings, change the hyperlinks and you change the calendar. Like i did. I'm assuming phalanx did the same, of course you could mean something completely different but that's the only way i know to change calendars :-/

<a href="asjhdgasjhdg"> haskdh</a>

that's a hyperlink.
You can customise the way it looks using css. Css tutorial

ie. put this into the css file.
a {
font-style: italic;
color: green
}
You are the Non. You must go now, and never return."

"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

Ah me. Late to answer a question as usual...

No, I did not do mine from scratch. I'm not that crazy.

The links being italicised and blue were a side effect of me using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). (All my links are that way, BTW. I got bored of the usual underlines)

I use remote CSS files so I can change the look of the site quickly.

Oh, and beware with the ***big_calendar*** when using CSS- because of the old html it uses, the link displays go amok when using CSS, resulting in my calendar appearing to have a comic every day. I had to fix the problem with some down-and-dirty coding.

Hyperlinks are the full names for 'links', and the tag <a href> actually stands for: "anchor hyperlink reference".

Or was the "anchor hypertext reference" ?

Erm... anyway, that's our little bit of pointless codemonkey knowledge for the day! ;)

I forgot hyperlink=link.


Thanks for the help, all of you.
