Just experimental homeproduction.org

Post by fungo »

http://www.homeproduction.org

Well, yesterday I started to set up my new page and played aroud.
The design looks aweful because of the distorted div layers but currently I am working on the system.
Last night I wrote a RSS-Parser and implemented the code into my frontpage. The news corner shows random RSS-Feeds from selected websites, but I am not content with that. My look and feel says that the site is very slow, can you prove my suspicion?

Thank you![/url]

What do you mean with css wrappers?
That my content should be styled by css?

your code is like this for the top and nav

Code: Select all

<div id="topbox"><h1>homeproduction.org</h1></div>
<div id="spacer"></div>
<div id="navbox"><span style="text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;"><a href="index.php?home">Home</a></span> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?blog">Blog</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?kreativ">Kreativ</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?kontakt">Kontakt</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?impressum">Impressum</a></div>
try using classes in the css which are in then wrapped using ID tags
example

Code: Select all

<div id="wrapperheader">
       <div class="topbox"><h1>homeproduction.org</h1></div>
       <div class="spacer"></div>
       <div class="navbox"><span style="text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;"><a href="index.php?home">Home</a></span> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?blog">Blog</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?kreativ">Kreativ</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?kontakt">Kontakt</a> <img src="http://www.homeproduction.org/kreis.gif"/> <a href="index.php?impressum">Impressum</a></div>
<!-- end wrapperheader -->
</div>
you will see the entire header as done here is contained in an ID, then individual classes for the elements...

see a css tutorial for more
regards
