There are plenty of tutorials and scripts in the Myspace section of Createblog to suffice you.

Besides, we all had to learn how to make div overlay and such. You guys need to actually look around and find it for yourselves.

This forum is for help with things that don't work, not to have someone do something for you.

I can appreciate wanting ppl to teach themselves but I do not appreciate rudeness. There are better ways to say 'look around and you can learn like we did' without being such a b*tch about it. Keep that in mind the next time you decide to post something like this. People come to you for help, not your attitude.

I totally AGREE!!!! There are people here that are VERY Rude and Ungreatful...just becuase YOU taught yourself how to do all this stuff DOES NOT mean everyone else can do the same...I for one am a Visual Learner.i cannot just read some code and understand it! Some people have been taught HTML in College or school..some of us it looks like Chineese to us! I understand becuase some here know EVERYTHING you can get frustrated with Questions that to you are kindergarden level. but as BraenwenFaire stated there is NO EXCUSE to be harsh and rude about it! We ALL are newbies at some point here! you all were too!
I think most people want some of this tutorial stuff in Lamens Terms..some tutorials here are written like we ALL are supposed to know what a CSS is or what a "Div" is or even how to read HTML.....if your going to have this site to help people..Be KIND and Patient and Willing to help the Uneducated!

Hmmmmmm you people need to understand something.

Yes, we were all newbies. But look where we got with a little hard work! I, myself, have been coding and making layouts for almost 2 years, and I'm only at this point. How do you expect me to cram 2 years worth of HTML knowledge into your head so you can make a div layout?

People need to start at the basics. This topic was targeted at the influx of topics titled "how do i make a layout?". I, nor anyone else, can simply teach you how to make a layout. It doesn't happen. To teach people how to make a div overlay layout on Myspace, the person has to actually know what we're doing. There are overlay tutorials on this site - I know, I made them. There are also plenty of basic HTML and CSS tutorials. But you can't just look through them all in one day. You have to start at the basics and improve your skills from there.

No one can teach you how to make a complete layout if you know nothing about HTML, especially if they can't be sitting next to you.

I, too, am a visual learner, but I've worked hard for a long time to gain the knowledge I have, just like everyone else who makes layouts has also. There's a big difference between helping someone and doing it for them. To know how to make layouts, you have to put in work. Simple as that. I am here for help, yes - help. When something doesn't work, you can run and ask me. But as far as "how do i make a layout?", I can't help you, and neither can anyone else. It's a gradual process, just like Math in school. You don't learn Calculus right off the bat, do you? No, you have to start at the basics and work your way up from there.
