Hi sue

I am useing mrs manda's page at the moment, I am useing the digibox so i cannot see the code at the moment

dont forget that you don't put the words GUIDE or BODY on there your self. they will be put on there aurtomaticly when you chang to GuideML

IF you put them on your self. if you can take them off and try again

manda

just a thought

If you want you can send me your login details to

[email protected]

and I will start you off

manda

Hi manda I didnt put the words " guide n body" in myself,lol
I will have one more try, if that dont work then im sending login details (if I can remember them),lol I just click email to get out without loggin out
sue

jUST LOOKED AND i CANT SEND YOU LOGIN DELAITS AS i DONT REMEMBER WHAT MY PASSWORD IS,,
sorry bout caps

I got the giudeML on now, but having probs with the actual picture side of things,,, How do I do that,,, I picked the cross stitch picture but every time I put the code in it say error at the top of page,
Dont know what Im doing wrong,,,
I will master this if it kills me,lol

If you go HERE >> <./>GuideML-PictureLibrary</.> you will find the lis of pictures

and then you put the code like this



that will put the picture on your page

you just change the "B" (Blob) number to the one that you want

if you want the picture in the center of your page then you put it like this


if you get a error message ( you should not ) make a not of what it says as that help to tell you what is wrong

manda

I can see where I went wrong now,,,,,, light dawns,lol
I forgot to put the /> at the end. silly sossige I am, will have another try later, off 4 tea now,

sue

I still do silly things like that, even after all this time on H2G2,

so I would not worry about it,

let me know how you get on with it

manda

Hi manda, its still saying error,
started with <PICTURE.....and its saying wrong start?
Why? It says <PICTURE at the start of the one I want?

can you write the code here that you are putting on your page and I will have a look at it

manda

ok tHIS IS WHAT i PUT.
EMBED="LEFT"BLOB=B433249"
and now ive got that written across the blinking page,lol
OH wow is me

the easyest way is like this


notice there is no > after the first <PICTURE

and you only need the at the end when you are putting words in there aswell, I will show you them later

manda

I tried that and it kept saying wrong start,,,,,will have another try,
brb

"missing closing bracket in tag-perhaps you've missed a closing quote"
Thats what I got,lol
manda im leaving it for tonight,,, lets check it out tomorrow,,
Thanks for all your help so far, really appreciate it,
im off to watch tv b4 I get mad at meself,lol
sue

ok, but I can see what you are doing wrong

First you put this
at the end of it"

then you leave a space


Then you put

EMBED="LEFT"

Then you leave a space

Then you put

BLOB="B433249">

and then you can write something here if you want to

and then you put



manda

manda
Dont mmmmwwwaaahhhhh
Thank you,,, Take a look >>>>>>>>
I got it at last..lol
Do I now change back to plain?
Didnt go cus it was driving me mad,lol

sue

Well done,

I am glad you stopped to do it

you don't change it back to plain, you keep it in GuideML from now on

you can change the word "LEFT" to "RIGHT" or "CENTER" or "FREE" to put it in a diferent place on your page

manda

manda
Thank you for your patience yesterday and your kindness in putting up with me
Last few questions for you(well if I dont ask I wont know will I,lol)

Do I now do all my writing within that GUIDE/BODY space?
What If I want to put another picture in there? Do I just put the "EMBED" etc without doing PICTURE, or do I have to do it all over again?
Can I now put my links back in?
Last one
Can I put smileys back in there?
