    Image Placement

    OK...here we goooooooo...

    Having only played with HTML and CSS for a couple of weeks now ( and doing pretty good so far even if I do say so myself )...every once-in-awhile I hit a snag...

    I'm trying to find out how I can insert images into the sides of my blogs...example...

    Egalitarian Graphics

    you'll notice that everything left and right is just wasted space...I'd like to fill that space with pictures and advertising space for rent blocks...

    how can I do this? In simple language that a two week old veteren could understand

    if you need to look at the page source and tell me where and how to place what I want.

    Thanks,

    Eg,

    I think it is down to the template you picked, you may be able to edit it. I think it was done using tables. It was not done using frames? I think. Whoo I just thought, my head hearts now

    If you can edit the default html file, like Jinxy said, then it can be done. A simple way, especially if your not concerned with lower resolutions, is to use the division tag ( <div></div&gt and to use css to position it.

    You can use tables to do it, but it might take you awhile for it to turn out the way you want it.

    Hi jinxy/kurt,

    I've edited practically every...make that every...blog there, in one way or another...the problem is I don't know what code I should be using..

    eg. <div>
    <align: right>

    this kind of stuff...if I see it I can manipulate it pretty good to get what I want...I've manipulated some code already and got the desired effect...

    but I don't know how to make code from scratch...blind...so...I need to see an example and then I can play with it.

    Code:
     <html>
      <head>
      <title>Example</title>
     <style type="text/css">
     .leftad{
     position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px;
     width: 100px;
     height: 300px;
     }
     .rightad{
     position: absolute; left: 200px; top: 0px;
     width: 100px;
     height: 300px;
     }
     </style>
     </head>
     &lt;body&gt;
     &lt;!--previous code--&gt;
     &lt;!--end previous code--&gt;
    
     &lt; div class="leftad"&gt;
     &lt;!--whatever you want here--&gt;
     &lt;/div&gt;
     &lt;div class="rightad"&gt;
     &lt;!--whatever you want here--&gt;
     &lt;/div&gt;
     
      &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;
    An example of using the division tags.
