Hi nobodies

The digibox only allows you to put a certain amount of information onto a page You can tell when it has reached maximum, when the text disappears from the bottom.

You can maximise this in a number of ways, like cutting down the coding and pictures

I'll find out the code for the digi-friendly badge but the link is:
This page is digi-box friendly

.....hi kow & for that info on how to make my page digibox friendly as i'll write that down & keep it handy but can you explain how i put it in as i've only just learn'nt how to put a pic on my page & also how do you put text in under the pic as i've tried to do this but it just keeps saying error in guideML & illegal use of ampersands so i must still be doing something for this to keep happening all the time & now my from trying to do it! ....so plzzz if you would then can you get back to me with all the info i need to do this.... & bye for now hun

If you just copy it up as I wrote it, it should work fine(just change the U number for yours), and set it anywhere between the and tags.

When writing text you need to start it with and end with, you change change the position by writing and ending with.
Ampersands have to be written in code I forget what the code is but I'll find it and post it back

If you say what the errors in your GuideML are I would have a better clue to where you are going wrong. Is it ok if I have a look at the coding for your page?

hi kow.....yeah hun it's ok if you look at the coding for my page as i've only got the one pic on there anyway as still don't know what i'm doing to be able to add anything else well the only error codes i've had is the illegal use of ampersands and error in guideML so that's all the info i can give you to that prob hun.....geeze i'm gonna end up demented by the end of all this as my already

Don't worry about it, it's how we all started

I've had a quick look at your space, it looks fine.
What are you wanting to add to it?

BTW code for ampersand is:
&

if you write that it will change into &

hi again kow and for vanishing on you earlier but my ing box decided to switch itself off again ........... for saying my page looks ok and what i want to add is just some text about me and my interest so that if any peeps visit my page they can find out abit about me and then decide if they may wanna chat to me or not .....yeah i know we all have to start somewhere but god i wish all this stuff was easier to ing do ......anyway take care and chat again soon.

That's

Writing on your page, that's a novel idea I think I could do with a bit

Just remember to write between the write your text here... , stick by that and you should be

You know where I am if you get stuck

kow and i'll follow your guidelines as to what to do and don't worry if i need your help again i'll be back on bended knee ing for it

good afternoon kow and you know they way you said if i get stuch again then i can ask for your help....well i'm ing stuck again so plzzzzz help ....i've tried putting the digibox friendly link in and also tried to add text but everytime i try i just keep getting error in guideML msgs all over the place ....when i tried the digi friendy link it just kept saying exspected white space missing then when i was trying to add text it was either saying bad closing element or BR exspecting NULL so what the hell am i doing wrong as i just can'nt seem to get anything to work on there apart from the pic! .....i know i'm a pain in the rear end hun but this is really starting to hack me off now so could you plz drop me a post if possible detailing exactly how i'm supposed to do it then i'd really appreciate before i chuck myself and my digibox off the nearest bridge hun and once again thanks

Hiya nobodies angel

No white space means that you haven't placed a space where you need one. Not to worry, change your space to plain text, write what you need to write, then update and I'll have a look to see where the errors are and hopefully we'll get it looking just right

kow i'll give that a try and hopefully with your help i'll get it sorted eventually as i'm starting to lose the will to live now with it

hun

I wouldn't put too much emphasis onto GuideMl, there's no rush to learn it...

I'll keep an eye on your space then

kow and i've wrote it all in plain text and updated my page so plz would you take a look at it and tell me where i've gone wrong and how to correct it.

thanks hun

After your picture you've got a change that to

You also need to use the paragraph tags:

hello ppl...

Should be:
Hello ppl and at the end of every paragraph use the tag and the tag

Try those, while I have another look

This is how it should look(get your pen and paper ready):

WRITE ALL YOU WANT HERE....

for doing all that for me and all i can say is ...geeze well no wonder i'm so as that's just to much for my poor little brain to handle ....thank god pen and paper were invited as i will have to write all that down like you said to do ..... errrm maybe it would be better and safer if i just chickened out and stuck to normal writing instead of trying to walk before i can crawl .....well now that you've done all that for me then i suppose i should give it ago i guess

take care hun

If you leave the digibox friendly link out it's not as complicated as it looks. The only major thing to do really is to put at the start and at the end of your text

Putting badges in is very code intensive, if you don't want to, then don't. Plenty of time to learn later. For now just have fun

hi'ya...well no i will have a go at putting the digi friendly link in as i may aswell learn it while i've got plus it will save me having to do it later ...... once again and have a good evening as i've got to now.

Bye for now
