1. How would i go about putting a blog on my site, so that when i add something to it, it doesnt take 4 hours or w.e (if i had to host it and all that)]
I will be having a site updates, that i would like in blog form, and also i will have a couple just blogs on my site.
2. Rollovers, cant figure them out, read alot, but too complexed. All i want is that when you rollover it a dropmenu comes up.
3. How would i make it so the button on the site that has been clicked (say they are browsing "Home",) the home button would be say red or something.
How would i do that? thanks for the help!
1: Definitely not in the scope of the Graphics/Design forum... actually I don't know where people discuss blogs here, but i'm sure you'll get better answers posting the question somewhere more appropriate... even in the HTML forum.
2: Javascript and/or CSS rollovers explanations and tutorials are a dime a dozen... we have plenty of them here if you care to search the forums, so I don't see the point in writing a whole new shpeil about it here, especially since this question would also do well to be in another forum... but if you don't want to bother learning how to create the rollovers by hand, you ought to just use a WYSIWYG HTML editor that creates DHTML rollovers for you... I believe Frontpage or Dreamweaver will do them. And again, even questions on how to do THAT would be better off in the WYSIWYG Editor forum than here.
3: If you want the "selected" graphic to work dynamically (read: without you having to hand-code the changes), then you'll have to use Javascript... again, different forum. If you dont need to get that complex, the simplest way would be to create "red" versions of all your buttons, and code your nav menu differently on each page, replacing the graphic for that particular page with its red brother, i.e.
nav menu graphics for /about.html:
img src="home_normal.gif"
img src="contact_normal.gif"
img src="about_red.gif"
img src="links_normal.gif"
Yes, i basically answered none of your questions... but none of them really relate to this particular forum, and they are totally independent questions, which ought to be addressed one post at a time... so hopefully this post will help direct you to the answers.
Basically im just working on designing it right now, so havnt bought my host. I have a starter page up now, but just says under construction.
But once the blog is hosted, it can be updated without having to re host right?
