creating a new page

[utopia]

i want to create a new page that will include my equipment, and i'd like to have it say "equipment" on the nav-bar.. is this possible if you are using a template youve found here on pp or must you make your own in order to do so?

also, can someone help me with my css style sheet ? i've edited column font colour to a beige, why isn't it coming as so on my about page?

sorry, I am older than 50, my eyes aren't so good anymore, how should I read black letters on a black background?

please, I will help you, but this demands too much

there are some errors in your HTML!
you should fix them first before thinking about beauty ;=)

1) <meta name="description" content="<somnium>" />
must be <meta name="description" content="somnium" />

2) <br>must be <br />
3) add "color:white;" body {
background: #191919;
margin: 0px;
color:white;
} and your text will be visible!

4) you have the following in your image-template.html:
<div class="navmenu">
<a href="index.php?showimage=29" title="previous">&lt;&lt;</a> |
<a href="index.php?showimage=30" title="next">&gt;&gt;</a> |
<a href='#' onclick="window.open('index.php?popup=comment&amp;showimage=30' ,'Comments','width=480,height=540,scrollbars=yes,r esizable=yes');">Comments</a> (0) |
<a href="index.php?x=browse" title="archives">archives</a> |

<a href="index.php?x=about" title="about">about</a> |
<a href="index.php?x=rss" title="RSS 2.0 feed">rss</a> | <a href="index.php?x=atom" title="ATOM feed">atom</a>
</div>

just add the link to a page with additional information here
for example like that:

<div class="navmenu">
<a href="index.php?showimage=29" title="previous">&lt;&lt;</a>
| <a href="index.php?showimage=30" title="next">&gt;&gt;</a>
| <a href='#' onclick="window.open('index.php?popup=comment&amp;showimage=30' ,'Comments','width=480,height=540,scrollbars=yes,r esizable=yes');">Comments</a> (0)
| <a href="index.php?x=browse" title="archives">archives</a>
| <a href="index.php?x=about" title="about">about</a>
| <a href="index.php?x=rss" title="RSS 2.0 feed">rss</a>
| <a href="index.php?x=atom" title="ATOM feed">atom</a>
| <a href="templates/simple/equipment.html">equipment</a>
</div>

and write a page equipment.html and upload that to your template-folder (recommended place)

on my image page, how can i get the description underneath the IMAGE each time? then a seperate link for comments.. i'm very interested in doing so.. i do not like my description being hidden in "comments" link :(

thanks for any help, i'm seriously new to this and a bit desperate to learn.

thanks connie! !

please read the file pixelpost-tags.txt in the doc-folder

that is the list of all tags
define which tags you want to use
find out where in your template you want to place these tags
then design your image-template.html as you want

there is a lot of information in the forum here in the section Design/FRONTEND and there in TEMPLATES

| <a href="index.php?x=atom" title="ATOM feed">atom</a>
| <a href="templates/simple/equipment.html">equipment</a>
</div>

and write a page equipment.html and upload that to your template-folder (recommended place)

that's a weird way of doing things considering pixelposts template functionality. personally i'd suggest creating a file named equipment_template.html then you can access it via the link: <a href="index.php?x=equpiment" title="MY Equipment">Equipment</a>

this way your site is consistent.

i see every page just fine ...

try to clear the cache of your browser and check with more than one browser!

I went there with OPERA and the difference which I noticed was the difference of color and b/w-photos ;=)

are you sure? with the newest nite photo.. i see white page.. and it doesn't use my style street. (this is in IE)... in opera.. it looks good.. i dont use firefox..

what could be the cause of this ?

connie. .view it in IE to see what im talking about..


danke!

[Connie]

Hi, I have no IE ;=( and ;=)

I validated your page and got some HTML-errors. Because you use <somnium> so often and "<" are HTML-elements, markup-elements I can understand that our stupid friend IE might run in trouble...

replace <somnium> with &lt;somnium&gt; and check again

also the validator lists this:
<a href='#' onclick="window.open('index.php?popup=comment&amp;showimage=50' ,'Comments','width=480,height=540,scrollbars=yes,r esizable=yes');">Comments</a>

and use <br /> instead of <br>

I guess it's the somnium ;=)

[utopia]

i fixed the br to <br />

if i send my file to you , can you validate it for me

i really have no clue..

thanks connie.

[GeoS]

I see it fine under IE 6.0 on win2k proff.

[utopia]

I think i fixed it, thanks much all.

can i add a link to a wordpress template that allows me to incoroparte a word press journal using pixelpost?

yes. but you'll need to turn your wordpress tags into pixelpost tags and move the code for the template over to new template files for pixelpost.
