Alright so I have been working away on this and I think the most frustrating thing is that I can spend hours and hours on something really dumb and no one will ever know that I spent an entire afternoon doing it. One thing I have been trying to figure out is how to make the font size larger in the simple pages. I must have gone to several different sites and they all said that the code was (numbers varying according to how large you want the font). Well THAT wasn’t working. So then I found another site that said I had to have a + in front of the number. So I did that. Nothing. Well to make a long story short (too late, I know) I finally figured out that there is just supposed to be a space between font and size and no – mark. So I got it working. What seemed like it should have been so easy ended up being more difficult than I thought it would be.
The other thing I spent forever on was building a decent timeline using a table. I went to several sites and their timelines were really cool, but my skills are not at the level these sites were at and unfortunately I really couldn’t figure out how they performed their magic. I WAS able to manipulate one site using Fire Bug (I heart that firefox plugin by the way) and came up with what you see now on my site.
Comments are welcome. Let me know what you think. I will be showing the main page, Teachers, Timeline, and Why Classical pages in class.
I will be interested to see what you all think of the color chage I made from the plain gray to the pale red color.
