Help Me With My Site

[Spyda 0]

Hey guys, Im have a gta type of site, and need some help with it. I am using HTML, and am using a pretty basic template, and cutenews. My banner looks funky, and I do not know how to put information on the left hand side, even though my right hand site has links and stuff. The link is gta-source.net/index.phpmake sure you go to that link or it'll redirect to the forums. So please if anybody can help me I would appreciate it.

That is actually a very nice site for designing it in photoshop(you did that, right?). But what I would suggest is learning CSS. It's a bit more complicated than HTML but still easy to learn and way more customizable. Also, if you do make a new site in CSS, make sure you use DIVs instead of tables.

Well for the template all i did was edited it via a text editor, and edited the content and images. I dont have photoshop, so I cannot use that.

Oh, you used a template. I still would highly recommend learning CSS. You can customize your site exactly how you want it that way. If you don't want to put that much time in, you will not be able to change your site that much at all.

In today's Web environment, (x)Html is used to provide the "content" for a site, and CSS is used to "style" the content. The two go hand-in-hand, you need both to work your site properly. Current Web Standards promote the use of generic containers (div's and spans, etc) rather than Tables to structure the page layout. Tables are for presenting "tabled Data", not to be used for Page Layout. There is a place for Tables, so you need to know how to use them, but properly, for the display, usually, of repetitive data on a page. Div's are to be used in conjunction with CSS Style sheets to make things pretty... and to layout the page. The advantages are that (x)html/CSS pages are typically smaller, the external CSS files are cached so you only need to serve them once to a client, the CSS affects many pages on a site where tables need to be loaded and sent each time, the Browser usually needs to assemble the entire table before determining the page layout, so it is slower at the client end as well, using html/css ensures that your site will continue to operate on the Web for a longer time since "doing it right" will be supported in the future Standards for a longer period of time ... the list goes on...Summary: use html/css for your site.
