h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is there a way to put an image at the top of the introduction on my user page?

Jamie.

Yes there is. Look at the guideml clinic at http://www.h2g2.com/Guideml-clinic and look at the Picture tag. Thats the way of putting pictures in Guideml.
But, at the moment, h2g2 can't host your images. So, if you see a picture on h2g2 that you like, thats fine (as long as its not another users, they may not want you to nick it but if you want your own picture, you need to have it somewhere which supports offsite requests.
Free places that do this are http://www.geocities.com/ and http://www.deja.com/

Hope this helps...

Thanks very much. It makes the guide so much easier to use with all these helpful people out there.

I've just signed up for a free web page at a couple of different sites (including the yahoo/geocities one) and both have in their site requirements "No storing files for the purpose of linking to them from
outside of the network"

Any advice?

ignore it? I don't like to advocate that but most people do...

incoperate them on pages on your free space?

This situation shouldn't last much longer.

Ah...I'm really new at this and I apologize for being basically stupid...but you can add pages to your site as well as the given main page?

Assuming you're talking about geocities - sure you can. The main one has to be called index.htm or index.html, but you can have as many others as you like...

Geocities have some utilities for creating webpages, - PageBuilder and PageWizards all of these are (I think) available from the geocities.com front page. You can also write html pages offline using notepad or Frontpage or whatever, and upload them...

A good guide to writing HTML from scratch can be found here: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/

okay so far?

Okay so far...thanks for the leads Joanna. You're more than an ACE. Bit by bit, by trial and error, I'll get it. If I spent less time chatting I'd probably learn a lot for sure!

Again thanks for this new direction.

aww thanks ox

if you need any more help don't hesitate to ask - if you want you can drop me an email if you have any problems.

Thanks, Joanna. I've already played with background color and thank goodness for the preview button! Your help is making the learning fun

*bows to the wonderful ACE*

I'm glad...

hot tip of the day: save your guideml into a text editor before pressing the preview or update entry buttons. That way if something goes wrong your hard work won't get lost...

Ooops...I never thought of that! It's taken me since May just to get what I have!

I hate when netscape crashes just before my page has updated... I try not to let it happen now...
