Hi,

I would like to add a short message to my home page horizontally below nav bar but do not have a clue on how to do it. Can someone please help me?

Thank you,
Michele

Don't know how much you know about HTML and such, so here's a quick answer. Feel free to ask if you need more answers:

in the code where you created your navcontainer div, add this immediately after the closing </div> tag for the navcontainer:
<div id="extraText">My extra text, here.</div>
(The id=.. will come in handy if you need to restyle [i.e., reposition, change color, etc.] of the text.)

If you need more help, just ask...

If you're not already using it, you can use the Bio Box and supress the photo with this in your CSS:

#bioBox .photo {display: none;}
#bioBox .title {display: none;}
#bioBox .border-top {display: none;}
#bioBox .border-bottom {display: none;}

Then this will supress the white line between the text and your first gallery:
#categoriesBox .boxTop {display: none;}

Thank you, Bill. I'm learning. How do I make it more center on the page?

Thanks.. :)

I've been turned onto a nice HTML generator called NVU. You can download it for free and it provides a visual layout tool where you can add text, center it, put it in tables, etc. then just cut and paste the HTML into the description sections of your galleries, etc. Very easy to use...and you can keep a backup of all your HTML on your machine.

I'll see if I can find the link...or someone else must know!

_Thanks Gary... Your site is coming along nicely. I like the idea, but I think my bio box is already in use and want something simple.. I'm off to a great start with Bills instructions for now..

Thanks :)

Sounds interesting, Gary...

Also, I only want the text on the home pg, not every page. Is that possible?

Thanks. :)

Thanks. :) Try adding this to your CSS:
#extraText {
display: none;
width: 750px;
text-align: center;
}

.homepage #extraText {
display: block;
}

you might also consider 'dimming' the text a little, by changing the color from white to a shade of gray - add this to the #extraText block, above:
color: #999999;

Good idea on the tone... Thanks!! :)

Now I just need to center it??

[oxy8384]

Yup! Add this to the #extraText CSS:
margin: 0 auto;
