Forum Moderators: not2easy
First and foremost, I would like to thank the heavens for your existence. Now down to brass tacks. Using your experience
template, and not knowing much about CSS, I am having a problem placing my website motto under my domain name where it would save space &
look better. My motto is currently under, but to the right of my domain name. Here is the source code for the index page and .css page. Please
help, I have been reviewing your site and already know you are great, however, I will loudly proclaim it, if you would help me with this
small issue (for you). Thank you so much.
Yours, GLB

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Forum.
I am not entirely sure why you are using float:left in your header.
From your message I assume that your header is the full width of you container/site and that you only have the wwwaddress.com and the motto in your header.
How about something like
>>HTML
<div id="header">
<h1>Mywebsite.com</h1>
<span class="motto">my motto is here</span>
</div>
>>CSS
#header { }
#header h1 { margin: 20px 0 10px 10px; }
#header span.motto { padding: 10px 0 0 30px; }
You can adjust the margin and padding settings to aling the site.
The margin and padding settings work in the following way:
e.g.
margin: (top value) (right value) (bottom value) (left value)
#logo h1, #logo p {
float: left;
margin: 0;
line-height: normal;
clear: both;
}
&
#logo p {
padding: 4px 0 0 20px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
font-size: 1.4em;
color: #199DD2;
}
BTW you are using the strict doctype but using the <i> tag in your html, to validate this should be done in your CSS.
