adding a banner + background

[iphimeda]

I feel quite stupid I have to ask this, but I'm a real disaster as it comes to php & css. (Besides the a href tag and img src etc I don't know much)

question #1. What do I do if I want a banner in stead of the title? Probably gif, maybe jpg.

It should always be alligned to the left, and I don't want to lose the 'about, home, etc.' (yet, over time, I'd like to alter those too and make them buttons)

question #2. I also want a cartoon (gif) in the left lower corner, always staying there and being behind the box where you put the description of the photograph. Again, what do I do, which files do I alter, what do I put there, etc.

(I did get the blogshare thingie on my page, that's something, isn't it? :/)

I don't mind you guys laughing, but please give me some decent advise too.

greetings,
iphi

ps. English isn't my first language, so please forgive me for grammatical or spelling mistakes.

:D The best is to learn a little bit HTML and CSS. With HTML and CSS you can change the look-and-feel of your website. You don't need PHP fore that.

A good start to learn HTML and CSS is this site:

To learn HTML click here (http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp).

It's very easy to learn HTML.

Html I know, it's the css I'm afraid off.

No one step solution, is there? :D

if you know html then question 1 should be no problem to solve for yourself.

look up the background-image variable and the similar type for css - you'll find it very simple to solve question 2 with a quick read. it's simply a case of adding background-positiong: bottom left; and background-attachment:fixed; to the body {} section of your css file.

:D
Question 1: I would choose jpg ;)
Question 2: CSS is easy. It tells the browser something about the look-and-feel of the html. Please read first about CSS Basic (we are never to old to learn). If you have then still problem, we will help.
