I have read that it is quite easy to make a blog with html. How exactly do you do that? I do not want ot use blogger.com or another place like that. I'd rather create it myself. Can some1 please post the html for a blog, or give me information on using html to make 1?

I have a blog site and the first thing you need to do is create a back ground image and from there you can use html like this:

<div style="position: absolute; top: your#; left: your#; width: your#; padding: 3px;">

where you put ur number is how far from the thing before you want the text to be from..like "top;your#" the length away u want the text to be from the top. I hope i helped!

i'm just a little bit confused...how do you put the bground image in, how do you make each entry, do you have to enter the date in manually, etc.?

yea..you need to enter the text like you would on any website...well thats what i do. I dont know if theres a nother way...hmmm visit a background I made for my sitehere (http://www.freewebs.com/flashoflight/lain5_e3.GIF) and you see my coloms ? Thats what I meant by my background.... To put a background image in you can use this code:

<body bgcolor="black" background="your image" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" link="#your color" alink="#your color" vlink="#your color">

I know what I am trying to explain..but i cant really explain things in a good way...but I hope you understand what i mean

It might be usefull for you to take a look at the site where this forum belongs too... tadaaaaa it's www.lissaexplains.com/

it has tons of basic stuff online for you to make a decent webpage ;) also remember that this cannot be done in like a week. it takes time to practice and learn :)

Love,
