This page will be under construction for like ever LOL. There will always be little tips and tidbits that might help someone to make there code making more enjoyable. Some tips might seem hard at times but if you use a tip a few times it will feel like something you can't live without LOL. Sorta like me where i can't live without my wifey :-). ~MrSand looks side to side~ Shes gone ok i really can't live without my internet and STEAK but she's number 3 though....shhh don't tell her or she'll beat the bug juice outta me. She's great.....~wink wink~ When you think you want to get rid of an image or page from your file manager,try making a directory and name it Trashbin. Instead of just tossing the file out just move it to the trashbin for a few days just to make sure it isn't in use on one of your pages. Sure does save a lot of grief when you find out you made a mistake then you can sit back and with a sigh of relief move it back from the trashbin. Might have to wash off the coffee grounds and banana peels but at least you didn't lose it forever and ever. This tip saved my bacon several times. Webtv using a file manager can be slow going and you can time out just trying to find a certain place you need to get to. I use to just hit the find key and type in the word that would be near or real close to where i wanna go and click find and boom i'm there. Say your looking to go way up to the top of your code and you have tons of code.... Well just type in html and click find and BAM your at the top. I also installed a little extra code to help navigate to different sections of my code. I use this.... <!--#1--> at the top and this <!--#2--> about a quarter way down and <!--#3--> about a third. This way i can use the find key and get to different areas at warp factor six without Scotty's help. Webtv sig codes are real neat ways to play with the basics of page building. I miss those days and sigs with the puter just ain't the same. I do notice that some take the easy way out and get the codes from copy and paste sites....i did when i was starting out LOL. Nothing wrong with that but some people don't understand html codes and tend to wind up with six <html> tags in the code. This is probably caused by adding tidbits from different sig sites and copy and paste the whole code. You need to remove the extra tags,you should only need an opening <html> tag and a closing </html> at the end of your code. The same holds true for the opening <body> and closing </body> tags. Remember that the more code and the bigger the file sizes of images the slower the loading time. If you ever do a sig code just send yourself a e-mail to see what it looks like. One problem i seen a lot was after someone put the code in and sent it to themselves and seen the code show up. The number one cause for this is having a space in front of the first <html> tag. Just put your cursor at the begining of your code and hold the backspace key to remove the spaces. Help with tags just click here. Here's a great tip and that is when you find a site that fulfills your needs and you had a good time there. Sign the guest book cause it will tell the person that the work they put into the site is worth the effort to make and maintain. We put a lot of work into sharing our work and services to you all and even if it's a quick note saying thanks makes it all worth it. You don't have to sign everytime LOL just once works and maybe if you see something new that you like and want the person to know how much you like the addition. Let them know what you were looking for and they could look for it to make the site even better for your stay. In a way you become part of that sites evolution and help direct the path to take in building the site. Page building is a whole lot easier if you learn to copy and paste. Very important thing to know and it cuts your time down by a whole lot. Here are 2 pages i have to help with ccp..... ~( Puter Users )~ ~( Webtv Users )~ When you are doing a code that has some same tags used over and over and you don't want to type it a kazillion times just use Copy and pasteing. |
