Wish list of things I dont understand.

This is only my second day as a Poweruser and customiser. So forgive my ignorance.

Homepage: I want to get rid of "Update info and Number of Album info" that sits beside my Gallery names.


Font: How do you get a font and substiture text with your font style?

Webpage size: I want a page that will fit on most monitor sizes without having to use the scroll bar up or down, left or right EVER...can you do this? I dunno, but I like the idea of a visitor see in the whole page all the time. Can I set these restraints to a layout size generally.

Me mum said "I want never gets" but I'm just letting it out. This CSS buzinez is fun but kind of addictive.

With CSS. What exactly do you want to change and we'll help you change it.

Don't bother. It's way too much trouble than it's worth given that there are so many different screen resolutions to deal with. Scrolling is well understood by those who use webpages so this is something that is unnecessary.

Thanks mike: I've been swotting up on your dummy pages and I'm getting the Gist. So round of applause for that.

Reg. Font I have ideas of typo-style that I want to incorporate.

My main vision is a background layer with a large font "indented" in a slightly different shade. On all pages. but with the punchiest use on the homepage.

But essentially I want control over fonts in everything. HA HA.

I can see font styles on the Web that I like but I have no idea of how to start popping them in the CSS system.

I am sorry, I have no pearls of wisdom to share, but I do share the need for an explanation of the World of Fonts. So I second the motion, and will check back to see any suggestions.

This sounds like a photoshop job to me and a fairly easy one at that. Once you get the image just upload it to your smugmug site in a gallery that has originals enabled. Then we can make it the background of the body element or whatever which is also easy.

But essentially I want control over fonts in everything. HA HA.

I can see font styles on the Web that I like but I have no idea of how to start popping them in the CSS system.You should want control over the fonts! :D I'm not sure what part of it you're having trouble with so here's a link that will get you started from the beginning. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp You'll learn all about the CSS font property and from there we can go on with how to implement fonts in different places on your site.

Ok, understand mre in principle from your threads and suggestions.

But I still have a problem finding the font source that I want. I have very particular requirements regarding my font choice that will not be held in my font database (where ever that is).

Do I have to pay for particular fonts?
Are there any good websites?
Where do I store them if I want them to be accessible to both photoshop CS2 and my CSS writing?

Hope this is clear. If I crack it I will be sure to let you know.

Cool, but that just lets you see it, it doesn't let you have it. How do I obtain the use of a font I find and Like? or am I wrong?

and this part of advice on the site confuses me.

However, keep in mind that there’s a possibility that not everyone have that same font on their systems. If you are choosing font for broad range of visitors, it’s good idea to stick with those from the safe list.


If I use this in a photoshop image then I guess its no matter as It will be rendered as a graphic image. But what about CSS?

on their pc. That's why the CSS code will list more then one. Like this.

font-family:"Gentium","Times New Roman", times, serif;

If you have a graphic with the text part of the graphic, you can
move/hover your navbar over the graphic navs and make it invisable
so the mouse clickies work. Make any sense?
