How to change the
look of your Guestworld "View Guestbook" page
This
is the simplest way to change the look of your "view" page.... Note:
this way limits you to the changes you can make. There is an advanced
way on the How
to change the look of your Guestworld "View Guestbook" (more advanced)
page. Note: even if you decide to use the "advanced"
way, you'll still need to use the information listed below to change your
background, title/heading, text color, etc. The advanced page is
really only for changing stuff like adding fields to your guestbook (like
age, etc...) and for using images for where is says "name", "email", and
so forth.
Go to Guestworld Techcenter.... there is a link provided in any guestbook on the "view" page (at the very top). Once your there, go to the "utilities" page.... there is a list of links on the left hand side of the page. Click on the link that says "change layout". Here is where you can change the background (whether you want an image or a color) as well as your text color and your dividing line.
TO POST AN IMAGE
AS YOUR TITLE/HEADING:
Type
the following code into the "text" box on your 'page layout' page (which
is located in guestworld techcenter as stated above): <p><center><img
src="http://webserver/username/imagename"></center></p>
TO POST AN IMAGE
AS YOUR DIVIDING LINE:
Type
the following code into the "dividing line" box on your 'page layout' page
:
<img
src="http://webserver/username/imagename">
TO CHANGE THE COLOR
OF TEXT AND LINKS:
If
you need to change your text and link colors you need to put it in the
"body tag" box... here's what's in mine (I'll copy it and paste it here):
<body background="https://www.angelfire.com/la/katye/images/guestback.jpg"
text="#CCCCCC" link="#FFCC00" vlink="#800040"> Note: colors
can be identified by numbers (as listed above) as well as the color name
itself. Example: <text="yellow"> I choose to go by
the numbers b/c you're limited by the amount of colors you can use if you
go by the name.
Note:
a body tag should consist of
only one tag. Example: <body background="http://web server/username/imagename"
text="#??????" link="#??????" vlink="#??????"> don't do like this:
<body background="http://web server/username/imagename">< body
text="#??????"><body link="#??????"><body vlink="#??????">
It will end up confusing you and you'll end up doing quite a bit of unnecessary
typing.
TO POST AN IMAGE
AS YOUR BACKGROUND:
the
html code is : <body background="http://web server/username/imagename.gif
or jpg or whatever you're file is"> Note: Fill in your
information in the tag. Type the tag into the "body tag" box on the
"change layout" page.
TO POST A COLOR
AS YOUR BACKGROUND:
I'm
gonna use black as an example! Type this into your "body tag" box
on the 'change layout' page in techcenter: <body bgcolor="#000000">
TO POST A COLOR
AND AN IMAGE AS YOUR BACKGROUND:
People
with backgrounds that take a long time to load normally post a background
color for people to see while the image is loading. If you want to
do this, here's the code:
<body
background="http://web serbver/your user name/imagename " bgcolor="#000000">
