Hi, Kheldar,

I like your page - and that's why I'm a little bit jealous!
How are you making this colours?! Can you give me some advices?

Hi Kasia
Thank you for the compliment. It's always nice to hear that you've created something that people like. Of course I'll give you advice. If you are referring to the changing colours on my page, it's a piece of Javascript. You've got to set your page to GuideML, if you haven't done that yet. Start off with:




Then paste in the following:

After that, put in your own text (if you need any help on that as well, just let me know, and I will email my complete source code to you (I'll need an email adress for that))
End your code with:




I think that about covers it, so if there's anything else, just let me know, and I'll see what I can do .

Hey Kheldar,

that's really very nice of you!

I'll try to fix it.

Kasia

No problem . Share and enjoy, that's the spirit we're looking for. If somebody taught me how to play around with these things, I don't see why I shouldn't do the same to somebody else. Hope it works for you, if not, just ask me, OK ?

KHELDAR, YOU ARE GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works and I'm so happy about it.

Thank you so much.

Kasia

~smiles~
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME. (why are we shouting?? LOL!!)
It looks very good

Hiya Kasia,

I was looking at the attendance list of the meet, I I still thought it was a bit small. Do you have any ideas of who else we can invite? I'm sure there are more people from Germany who might be interested, but I'm not connected to them (as in, most of them I don't know). Could you ask around and/or give me some names of people who might be interested?

Thank you,
Kheldar

Hiya Kheldar,

as I told Arutha, you can 'hang' a poster at the Crossed Purposes Pub, I'm running (BTW: come and visit me there - http://www.h2g2.com/A429310 )

Kasia

You're the best . Thank you, I'm going to write some invitations then
