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

Daniel: Hey, what small world this is.

What's a guy like you... ?

Daniel: Ah, well, you know. Just hanging out, watching over the place. The guys are construcing some kind of convenient station for the public. It's not mentioned on the home page because it's not quite ready. It only has two stores right now, a restaurant and a gift shop. They hope to have many more stores and entertainment places. You can find it under the most recent guide entries.

nice
I was going to start something.. but not sure what just yet.
I'll pop over and have a butcher's

Daniel: I've seen your page and had a look at your theme park in construction. I/we was/were wondering if you could tell me/us how you made your links change colors and how you made those signs in boxes. That kind of stuff is pretty neat but I/we don't know how to do it. It would be nice if we could some time figure out how to add music to our page as well.

To put signs in boxes, you have to use TABLE tags. They are kinda confusing. http://www.h2g2.com/A340958 helps if you want to learn tables, but that's not what you want. To put a border around something you have to do the following.





Something.





To do the colourful links, you have to insert the code you can find at: http://www.h2g2.com/A243721
I STRONGLY recommend that you change the colours, because the colours listed there are not compatible with both h2g2 skins.

Music?! I really really REALLY do not recommend music. Not only does it slow the loading of the page down, but it gets quite annoying as well, like its friendly neighbour Muzak. *shudder*
But it's your page, tell me if you still want to do it!

Hope this helps

Daniel:Yeah, thanks. Music would probably be too much trouble anyway.
What should we put in a table bourder? That sign for our convenient station? Then it would be like yours and I don't want to copy. I think maybe the place should have a better name, but we're not very good at that. What would you suggest?

It doesn't matter if it looks like mine. It won't be copyiing because lossa peaople do it.

Oooh, a name.. I'm not very good at them. But I'll have a go.. Letseeeee... *Using the same method she used to come up with the name for Tailboard, Lisa chooses the word....*

"Hiccup."

No, I don't like that. *tries again*

"Daredevil."

No.

How about something like... The Hiccupping Daredevil Convenient tation Nah.. I mean .. The Green Apple Convenient Station?

You can tell I'm not built for this

Daniel: That's interesting. Green Apple Space Station: For All Your Shopping Needs. Or Convenient Station Green. No, maybe not.
I like Red Delicious myself.
Blue Apple Space Plaza.
Blue Apple Shopping Center.
Blue Mall Station.
???
Green Peaches shopping Center and Mall Plaza.
?

Greeen Peaches?
I *do* like that!

Daniel: What do you think of us opening a hitchhiker supply srore? It would have all the essential hitchhiking equipment. Such as towels and uh, stuff.
I'll need to add departments for everything you would find in a regular mall/shopping center, pluss a several other things. Then I'd need to draw in the crowds somehow.
