Hi all, I have my own personal website that I am creating to advertise myself to the general public. It's basically a project I am doing for my summer co-op/ internship term (as a report back to my University Co-op Office) Anyway, the problem is making my blog look better and more organized. I have integrated www.blogger.com into my website. http://blog.magsila.com/index.php 1. Can anyone tell me how to make the content of the middle portion of the blog look better? I would prefer having that dark blue bar be part of the header of each blog post as a way of separating one post from one another, and preferably having each post boxed in by lines. 2. How do I make the links on the sidebar not have bullets? The sidebar is "sideheader" in the css file Here is the styles.css body { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; text-align: center; color:#000000; background-color: #3492c3; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 100.01%; background-image: url(images/back.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 50% 0px; } #box { width: 782px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; } a:link, a:visited { color:#02486C; text-decoration:none; } a:hover{ text-decoration:none; border-bottom: 1px dashed #ffffff; } #title { background-color: #02486c; width: 760px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 11px; border-bottom:2px solid white; height: 30px; } #title h1 { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; text-align: right; font-style: oblique; font-variant: normal; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; } #header { background-image: url(images/head2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 760px; height: 200px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 11px; padding: 1px 1px 1px 0px; } #top-nav{ width:760px; margin-left:11px; background-color : #02486C; height : 30px; font-size: 80%; border-top : 2px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 0px; margin-top: -3px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #FFFFFF; } #top-nav ul { list-style-type: none; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 0; padding-left: 0; text-align: center; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } #top-nav ul li { display: inline; margin-right: 40px; margin-left: 40px; } #top-nav li a{ color : #FFFFFF; } #top-nav li a:hover{ color : #ffffff; text-decoration: none; } #main { font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: .75em; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 1px; margin-top: 0px; border: thin none #FF0000; float: left; width: 560px; } #main p { padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 15px; } #main h1 { text-transform:uppercase; margin:10px 40px 0px 20px; color:#02486C; text-align:left; font-size: 120%; } #right-menu { width:180px; margin:0px 0px 0px 580px; border: 2px none #FFFFFF; padding: 0px; } #right-navlist { width: 99.99%; font-size: 80%; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px; padding:0; list-style-type: none; border: 1px none #BB7D88; color: #02486C; } #right-navlist a { width: 99.99%; display: block; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; color: #02486C; } #right-navlist a#current, #right-navlist a:hover{ background-color: #bdced8; } #right-navlist a:visited { color: #02486C; } .sideheader { background-color: #02486C; color: #FFFFFF; font-size:15px; margin-top:10px; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; } #more-info { font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 130%; } #footer { margin-left: 11px; padding: 0px; margin-top: 60px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center; color: #02486C; } #footer a:link, #footer a:visited { color: #02486C; } #footer a:hover { border-bottom: 1px dashed #02486C; } Any help would be greatly appreciated!

agreed.

maybe we need to look at it from a different perspective. instead of presenting this as "free" or "new" (by enhancing graphics) or pretending the game is something that it is not, why not play on its strength in advertising it as something that is classic... advertise inwards to our audience and assure them that they are part of an important community and that they should have their friends participate in this unique experience. world of warcraft takes probably 1 hour to get hooked. subspace takes 2 to 3, mostly because it is not as flashy as the other games out there. therefore, the important audience to win over is the subspace audience. if they are convinced of our argument, they will in turn bring their friends into playing. we have to admit that we cannot reach a mass audience by advertising. i've heard of members here putting in subspace CDs / advertisements in with purchased games at their local game store. while that is commendable, why would someone who just purchased a 50 dollar game invest his/her time into a game that is free and of "no value" literally. if we present subspace as free, then obviously it's worth nothing and no-one's time. I wholeheartedly agree with polix with regards to helping out the community. however, i also think that there lacks a vision and purpose for those involved. sure "reviving" the game and "getting the messsage out there" are good mottos... however, we need a clear mission and vision for those involved in the process. we need to stop being guided by the SSCouncil that has literally no vision or willpower to do anything. lets assume they all moved on to bigger better things. I myself have no time, but i will pitch in my few cents here and there and provide insights.. but as for investment, sorry no time at all. polix, if you can call upon a representative from each zone to form a committee... ask their zone owners who among their staff or zone member has the most time to contribute, not neccessarily ones with skills... that would be ideal... overthrow the sscouncil haha.. oh and involve Sass in whatever way possible.

what is troll?

One time, a friend's girlfriend tried to get the defendant to pay her because the whiplash caused her to have no sex life. Then a lawyer showed a picture of her giving head to some stranger.

Just exaggerating to make my point. Obviously some people don't see sarcasm

S!@#$%^&*, it's easy to say you can duplicate anything to look exactly like the original version, but pragmatically speaking, are you or someone else, who does not have access to the original box-graphics and a factory in America, able to do it? No. Your argument sucks as always. Love, Ophie
