Greetings all. Perhaps you can assist.

I am EXTREEMLY new and making websites, like, started friday, i am a putergeek and deturmined so i have managed to build a site of sorts.

I do graphic art as a hobbie and wanted a place to put my stuff that I controlled and decided this may be the way to go.


Now I am using a wordpress php front end and have a phpbb forums.

I used a template and created my own webgraphics for the front page, but there are certain things i know just are not right and i really cant sort out what to do about them.

For one I have menue items on the top, but they are basicly just text sitting on the graphics i wanted to make them more button like.

I guess i need to know where is a good place to start to figure out how to edit or modify style sheets of a page you have on the web.

My website is http://www.thegcp.com

Any ssuggestions help or feedback would be welcome.

@JiniHammerer: Welcome to Elated!

Your site looks OK to me design-wise. The design fits the feel of your blog's topic.

I can't see any menu items on the top. Do you mean the ones in the right-hand sidebar? You can modify these in the CSS. The easiest approach is to open your site in Google Chrome, then right-click an element you want to style and choose Inspect Element. You can then see the markup for the element in the bottom pane, and work out which CSS classes apply. For example, in your right hand menu I can see that you'd select menu options in the CSS using something like:

#sidebar .wdgtbox ul li { (styles here) }

Hope that helps! If you need more technical CSS help then you'll be better off posting in our Authoring and Programming forum:

Ohh yea, that's cause i have learned a lot in the past week and changed a ton since I originally posted this.

The original top menu was mostly eliminated, I left the home choice and converted it to a button removing the text menu completely, then i removed the text header title converting it to image as well.

I still have a boatload to learn but i got to a good point where i am happy with the layout for the moment.

I do want to thank you for taking the time to look and help.

No problem Jini. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!
