ok, so ive been working with my css a bit more, but i need a good reference for all the xanga tags that i can use in it, like how you have .blogbody and stuff like that, what all is there to use?

like, id like to be able to know what to use to identify the add comment and eprop little menu below each entry to, say, center it. _smile.gif

bump!

ok, i'm sorry if this is too much trouble, but i think it would be necessary if i knew at least a handful of the css commands for xanga, because if i knew those, it would take a gigantic load off of any future help i may ever need.

The specific CSS tags in Xanga are the following:

CODE
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->


/* module stuff */
.left, .leftmodulefontcolor, table.left, table.mainleft { font:normal 11px arial}

/* date */
div.blogheader, .caption { font: bold 11px arial }

/* main blog area */
table.blogbody { border: 0px }
table.blogbody tr td {width:0px;font:normal 11px arial}
.blogbody b, p b, strong { font-weight: bold }

/* footer and header */
table.footer {font: 11px arial}
table.navigation {font: 11px arial}
.footernav.link, a.footernav:link, a.footernav:active, a.footernav:visited { font: 11px arial}
table.search TD, table.search, table.announcements { border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;}

/* comments and guestbook page */
table.smalltext { width:100%; } table.smalltext td { text-align:center;}
#pnlEnabled table, #htmleditor, #lblTimeZone { width: 250px}
#pnlEprops {display: none;}

/* input fields */
input, select,textarea, .textfield, .button { border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;font:normal 11px arial;background-color: #FFFFFF;letter-spacing:0px;color: #000000; }

I hope I didn't miss something. _dry.gif


You can also use general CSS tags for links, body, text..

CODE
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

/* text */
body { background-color: #FFFFFF;}
p { font:normal 11px arial;color:black }

/* links */
a:link { font: 11px arial}
a:visited  { font: 11px arial}
a:hover { font: 11px arial}

/* seperator */
hr {width:450}

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->


Hope that helps _smile.gif

Aw, you don't have to be sorry! None of us know! So next time you come upon something you don't know, don't post! happy.gif

blogring is down but luckily I had a CSS theme saved on my hard drive. it's a good example for a complete CSS theme. Use xanga editor to view it. Many people from blogring use basic themes like this and tweak it t their preference. Once you know more tags, you can add it in your CSS. Gradients and Filters are pretty cool if you know where to put them.

I used this as a skeleton for my CSS style sheet and add/remove parts where necessary. I'll show another example using different tags like gradients and alpha filters

there's always webmonkey.com.

also if you have photoshop 7 or something like that, there's a way that when you pick the foreground color, you can take the dropper on any gradient in a picture if your thinking of a specific one and it will show the hex code for it. happy.gif
