I love it how the people cast phrases like that.
Or "eww, you use tables. You should be using DIVs."
I also love how most of CSS tutorials begin with: "CSS is great, it can be used for many things, like changing color of the text, changing the font size, making the text bold/italic/underscored, and for positioning and dimensioning"
then they explain step-by-step how to change the color of the text, font and other stuff, and then they proceed with
"positioning and dimensioning is too advanced for the scope of this tutorial. =P"
Basically, div positioning means something like this:
Code: Select all
<div style="position:absolute;left:150;top:700;width:500;border-width:5;border-style:solid;border-color:black;">the rant, with images and everything else you want</div>
Just put that in a text file (yyyymmdd.txt), and (unless I made a mistake)
it will display in the middle of your page (150 pixels to the right and 700 pixels down from the upper left corner), and give it big thick black borders.
Adjust the numbers to your liking.
If you want you can put the "style" data in the document's head or external file.
Then you can redesign the page easier, because you don't have to edit every single rant, you just edit the external file, or <head> in the dailytemplate...
Here's how to put it in the head:
Code: Select all
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.rant {
position:absolute;
left:150;
top:700;
width:500;
border-width:5;
border-style:solid;
border-color:black;
}
</style>
...
the tile and other stuff here
...
</head>
And then use this for the rant: <div class="rant">the rand, images and whatnot</div>

the manual for more info.
