It's pretty much like coding a div overlay except you're not using any hide codes, you're just making classes or id's and defining the css properties like links and text and all. Just make a custom stylesheet for your website for the basic properties such as body and then just make your own classes or id's like you would on a div overlay. Just make the stylesheet in notepad and save it as a .css file. Then, upload your .css file to your website and use the below code to link to the stylesheet. Put it in between you head tags. It's pretty much self-explanatory.
CODE
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://yoursite.com/stylesheetname.css" type="text/css" />

This will only link to the stylesheet so you'll need to do all the regular HTML tags and such in between your body tags. It's actually pretty easy. thumbsup.gif _smile.gif

Some of your mix tapes are very cool! thumbsup.gif sorry.. the only thing I know about website layout designing is that you set it up like this:

CODE
<html>
<title>asdfasdf</title>
<head>asdfsdf</head>
<body>lkasjdflkasjflkdsajflkjsdflksjaflskfslkdafjsa!!</body>
</html>
Good luck with all the other parts! :D

I don't mean to critique on emberfly post, but the title tag should always be within the head tag.

Designing Website layout is really similar to myspace layout

Here is an XHTML default template:
CODE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<title> Untitled Document </title>
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
THE CODE TO BE DISPLAYED GOES HERE:
</body>
</html>

as a beginner you should save those code in a .html or .htm file.

The color coded line is not really needed but if you want you can saved all you style in an external .css file. You can also do an inline coding, the same way that you do myspace DIV layouts, which is not recommended but can be done.

For more information you can message me here on CB

Y'all missed the point... he was looking for websites, not code snippits.

My favourite is probably the W3 collective. Can't remember any more. Will post again if I do, though.

i would suggest wordpress.org as a starter if you don't have coding experience. plus, there a lot of designs that you can use to make your wordpress the way you want it. just follow the site's instructions on how to put it up on your website. check out my site for an example: (click on sig)

^Well WordPress is a blogging system. That would just set up a blog but I suggest that you go to W3 Schools if you want to learn. If you were looking for a template, then I suggest looking at Fawaz's post.

Wordpress is a good blogging system but it also can help when you're trying to establish stuff for your site that you don't know the coding for. i was struggling for awhile to get my website the way that i want to just using codes but wordpress was able to alleviate all of those issues i was having by making the coding for me.
