I would like to create a site something along the lines of this: http://www.busted-rock.com/ and this: http://www.bustedonline.org/busted/index2.html Of course, not the same, but that sort of style of layout. I have no experiance in the past with using html, so I came here! I am using Notepad at the moment, so when I have that sorted then I will upload it to Geocities. In notepad, I entered the CSS below. However, The body just comes out plain, black and white. Could anybody here help me? Or help me start to make the HTML codes?

lol, thanks, but I've read through all of it and thats what I've come out with, by using the CSS. The website doesn't explain how to make a header for it and how to do several text boxes on each page, or at least I haven't found it yet. I have no idea what iframes is but thanks anyway! x

I guess the real problem is is that I have no idea where to start. I would want to make a website with the same standards as the ones I used as examples but all the iframes etc really confuses me, I've only just worked out that tables are the basis of the website! However, I have no idea how to make the tables in the HTML editor as I ahven't been given much directon in that field in the first place. I have read through all of Lissas HTML help but I don't want my website to look like a screen shot of a spreadsheet.
Plus I don't undestnad what order you have to put all of the HTML codes in. I can understnad LiveJournal codes, but not proper website ones yet! I can't find the glossary on the website where it has all of the words in it that I don't understand (ie Nesting tables and what iFrames are). I guess I'm just completly lost! This is something that I really do what to do but I really just don't know where to start at all.

Your body isn't showing up because you forgot to close a section of your CSS. Here are ONLY the parts that have errors.

A:hover
{text-decoration: underline; color:#0033FF;
background-image: url;
^^ you don't need that because you aren't using a background image...
background-color: #000000;
cursor: crosshair; }
^^ don't forget to close all sections of your CSS!

body
{background-color: #000000;
^^ should be background-color;
background-image:
^^ you don't need that because you aren't using a background image...
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: 50%I 0%II;
background-attachment: fixed;
^^ and since you aren't using a background image, you don't need that stuff either!

input, textarea
{background-color: #CC99FF ;
^^ should be background-color:

=P try those sites that have ready made templates and wsomething that lets u edit on the page itself instead of using html, then itll generate the html itself wen some1 is looking at page source
