Coding/CSS/HTML help!?

Question

I am making a website, and I was wondering how to make text type boxes like on outspoken-kate.com. (not cutenews, but like when you go into tutorials) I am just learning so any help or any websites that might help me would be great!!! thanks!

Answer 1

If you mean, the little various-colored text boxes going down the left side? One way to do it would be to set up a "class" for each color, like say,
.pink { background-color: #f0f; color: #000; }
.turquoise { background-color: #0ff; color: #000; }
...and like that...
Then set up a "class" for the div for a square box, like say,
div.box { display: block; float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; font-size: .7em; ... }

...and adjust the div.box as needed in your case...

Then throughout the html place little divs

Answer 2

I looked at the site and am not sure what you mean when you say text type boxes.

The way that site is created, uses a CSS rich layout (no tables) to lay out the site. But to really be able to answer the question, is it the text from her blog area, the navigation on the right hand side, the links, headings, etc.
