- leodavinci, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very nice, I've been looking for something like this for awhile now.
Dugg - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is a pretty good tutorial, but I remember seeing a much more in depth one on here a while back. I'll try to find it in my bookmarks.
- jlgosse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i too had a better one, but not any more!
all ya can do i spose! - ttfadia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just to answer some of the emails I've been getting: all parts of the template are free for your use including the logo.
@mike:
I was planning on going more in-depth in a future article. - trnelson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good article, but the use of margin/padding with the width attribute aren't really a good method of doing things without box-model hacks (for IE/Firefox differences). Also, while I know it's somewhat of a beginner tutorial, it's important to know how to use external stylesheets too. ;)
Otherwise I'm glad to see a CSS only tutorial for building a page =D - rasko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice and simple. I don't think you can ever have enough of these tutorials
- celticrogue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i like this tutorial too, nice work. I do remember, like mikecampo, seeing a more in depth one but can't find it any more either.
if anyone does i'd love to reread that one too. - rebusrms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0informative and helpful
- norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0try coding in notepad n00bs ! no digg
- trnelson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Notepad coding is neither 1337 nor cool, not to mention it's a waste of time. So I sincerely hope you were kidding.
- Paul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0CSS pro here... good tut but I kinda agree about the notepad thing.
No you don't have to code without markup but Dreamweaver!
Man that app sucks... get some open source.
JEdit or Notepad++ all free and 10x faster than any Adobe program. - artman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If this doesn't motivate me to use CSS nothing will. I'm an "old school" web designer. Back in the day when the only code you needed to know was html. Hotdog, Photoshop 4 and Netscape. Now it's become an alphabet soup of code, scripts and jargon. I have basically been wiped off the job market for a web design position. Though i still do web sites, it's mostly the frontend GUI and graphics.
/ok i'll stop whining - jdonner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"try coding in notepad n00bs ! no digg"
Only nOObs who petend to be a pro use Notepad instead of thing called Editor. - jdonner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh, I forgot: no digg.
Reason: this is not worth to be called a tutorial, it's just a few tips. - diggidydawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0great article, I've been looking for something like this. How about one for using CSS?
- soupisgoodfood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No digg. Very basic tutorial. There are many better sites around, such as http://alistapart.com if you're specificly looking for CSS help. Hardly worth linking to.
- dismorfo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For mac OS X I use Textwrangler as my text editor. It is the free version of BBedit ( www.barebones.com/ ). Nice @ clean with a FTP client too.
- SamL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no digg, the world doesn't need more fixed-width page layouts.
- jeolmeun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0comment save
- Kashey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PSD to HTML Photoshop does a great job rest is to notepad. Well or edit whatever you like.
- karmadude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think it's a great tutorial for someone starting out. Now if a 17 year old can provide a tutorial like that for the masses, it deserves encouragement and not flaming!!
