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

As I am permanently bored with my page, I would definitely appreciate an artful attempt at something that would liven it up a little...

So next time you are bored, and feel like designing something made up of rectangular spaces and block colours, go ahead have fun, I'll find lots of space for it.

Eternity

Wow a punter, hang on a second...

*pulls down going into liquidation sign and hides it under counter*

Dear Eternity,

Do you have any colours or dimensions in mind?

Or should I just surprise you?

Javam

*rubs her hands together*

Surprise!! I like surprises!!!

Ok, a surprise it is.

I will let you know when the first draft is ready.

Javam

Hi Eternity,

I have had a go at creating something for you, you can view it in the Gallery section I have added to my space (there are a couple of links on my home page)

If you like it, it is yours, but I can change it if you are not happy or have any sugestions.

I will be off the air now until Monday.

Have a good one!

Javam

*grabs Javam, gives him a big *

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It is perfect!!!!!!!

One question... how do I get it on my page?

Right. Let's see if this works...





 
 
 
 


 
 


 
 
 


 
 


 
 
 
 


 
 


 
 
 


 
 

Ok,

If you highlight all the code in the posting above (everything from <table - to - /table&gt

If you click with your mouse at the beginning of the text, hold the button down and then drag the pointer to the end of the code that will highlight all of it. Then press [CTRL]+[C]. That will copy the code into your clipboard. (sorry if this is teaching you to suck eggs)

All you then need to do is paste it into your user page through the edit interface [CTRL]+[V]

Decide where you want the table to start in your page and paste the code in there.

At the moment it is set to align to the right but if you would rather have it on the left just change the 'align' attribute of the table tag(it is the second word at the beginning of the code)

If you get into any problems or some of what I have out is unclear just let me know. The last thing I want to do is be responsible for breaking someone's user page.

What I would recommend though is taking a backup of your user page before you start making any changes. Just highlight all the text in your edit window and copy in into notepad or something and then save it as a text file.

I am sure I can refine this process, but unfortunately you are my first customer so there is going to be a bit if 'try it and see'

If everything goes smoothly let me know and I will take a look at it in situ!

Javam

It works!!!!!!

Thank you again, it is truly beautiful!!

I have just placed it in for the moment. Tomorrow I will have a look at giving it a better spot on my page.

I am so glad that my first customer is a happy customer!

*snif* it makes all my days of toil setting this service up worthwhile

Well done for understanding my instructions. Sometimes I cannot help my self and just ramble on in a techi-centric manner which makes even simple tasks seem confusing.

Should you have any further requests dear lady, please don't hesitate to ask.

Javam

Hi Eternity

I see you have been singing my praises on your page , thank you very much .

Infinity dropped in, but still discussing that one as I think she is a little disappointed that I cannot do curves

But business is definitely picking up.

Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the support

ta-ra

Its a pleasure.

Oh don't mind her! I think she gets a kick out of asking for things she knows she can't have.
