OK, I Need Help!

[sssmile14]

I was trying so hard to just read everything here to learn how to do stuff, but I am getting no where! I FINALLY got my Navbar up, but it isn't linking to the exact page I want. I also want it to run across the top of my page, instead of all to the left.

Also, I have been trying to get up my different pages, but I don't get what to do after I have created a new gallery.

And I would like all of my picture galleries to be put under sessions, but can't figure that out either.

I;m sorry, I really was trying by myself. I have a hard time knowing where exactly to put the CSS code, although I do kind of get what the code means. Oh, I am sure you will see all sorts of weird, mismatched stuff in my CSS, cuz I was just trying to copy and paste whatever I thought looked good. I am sure there are lots of "extras" in there! Thanks so much, guys!

Hi :)

First, you need to go in and clean up your CSS code a bit. You are missing quite a few beginning and closing tags - {}. For example:

.boxTop {
background:#6D6056;
border-bottom:2px solid #D8C4A4; }

You need to add the beginning and ending tags (see the red).

Go through your CSS and make sure all the beginning and ending tags are there.

Also, remove this from your CSS. It does not belong there. It goes in your footer, where you have it already:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li id="active"><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com" id="current">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/">Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/gallery/1887822">Pricing</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/gallery/1889437">Details</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/gallery/1880350">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/gallery/1887841">Sessions</a></li>
<li><a href="www.candidexpressions.smugmug.com/gallery/1887791">Guestbook</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Clean that up and let's see where we are.

OK, did that do it?

I fixed a couple of other things. You're getting much closer :)

OK, great! Thanks for making my nav bar centered across the page. What do I need to put so that the links are spaced a little further apart? Also, why isn't it linking to the actual gallery page? Thanks so much, Barb!

Add the red. You can adjust it as you like:

#navcontainer ul li a { text-decoration: none;
color: #873539;
padding: .2em 1.7em;
}

You have your galleries on the home page. So linking to them will just take you to your home page.

Am I not understanding?

[sssmile14]

Oh, I guess I'm the one not understanding! :) I want them all to be on their own page. How would I do that?

Yeah, I'm not really getting it???? This stuff confuses me! I put the stuff where I thought it should go, but nothing is happening, so I obviously did it wrong. I wanna learn how to do all this, but my brain hurts! :rofl

[sssmile14]

OK, I tried and tried all day. I think I have most of it right???? The stuff in the CSS I am not sure about, so I just kind of left it since the first 2 things I tried didn't work. What else do I need to add?

I want nothing on my home page at the moment. I want all of my nav bar stuff to be on different pages and for people to just click on "Sessions" and go straight to sessions, etc. Help me!:dunno

Hi :)

I'm sorry we missed this!

I don't have time to work on it just now, but I can take a look this evening if you'd like. Someone else will most likely jump in :)

[sssmile14]

Can someone help me, please???

Hi Shauna,

I can work on this today for awhile if you'd like. Just let me know. I will go in and try to get it how you want. Just to be clear. You want nothing on your home page, but your header and navbar? And you just want to link to those pages from your navbar?

Yes, I plan on adding a slideshow later, I would just like to get that nav bar right first. Thanks Barb! I really appreciate it! I don't understand why I can't do it!
