Welcome to my page of 8x10 frames with an EASY tutorial on how to make your own.

To make these frames any color or background you want, all you have to do is change one piece of code. It's that easy!!! Just copy and paste the code and take it to an HTML testbed and print the frames from there. There won't be any banners because you're printing from a test bed rather than a web page.

The nice thing about these codes is that you can print one frame of a color, change the color number in the code, and print the next frame a different color.A knowledge of tables will help you understand the codes, but isn't necessary. This code, when printed out on my Canon printer, fits an 8x10 frame perfectly. I'm not sure about the HP printer, but it should be about the same.
The first two codes are the really easy ones. Then, for those braver souls, I give you some ideas of other things you can do with the same basic code!

Now on to the examples and codes.

Apricot

Pink

Blue-Green

Blue

And here is the code! Just put in any color number where it says "table bgcolor="#??????". Or you can just type in the color itself--bgcolor="your color".That's all! Now you have a frame to print the color of your choice.
CODE 1

 
 
Next we have frames with backgrounds-- they're just as easy. Just put the url of whatever image you want where it says
table background="http://????"
It's best to use backgrounds with small images as the frames are narrow and larger images distort.Here are some examples and then the code.

CODE 2

 
 
 
This last frame has an image on it. The code has to be changed in three places-

1- table bgcolor="#??????" or table bgcolor="name of color"

2- img src="http://????"
   This is the url of your image
It needs to be changed in 2 place--top and bottom.

Lines work best for this and shouldn't be any taller than 70 pixels--around 40 or 50 pixels looks best.That's it!! Just go to view and Print out your frame.

EXAMPLE

CODE

I've also put the codes for my 3x5 frames on a page. Just cut and copy which ever you'de like.
CODES--3x5  
 
When you get a little braver You can do other things with these same basic code.
You can make the frame itself wider-- just make the middle part smaller. If you wanted to make all the sides 80 instead of seventy, you would just change those numbers and then subtract 20 from the height and the width of the middle.If you don't, your frame will be too big.

 
 
Instead of using a line for an image you can use a small gif. Leave the code as it is, and it will end up in the center. To have it in the left hand corner, just erase the center tag. To have it in the right hand corner, add- align=right to the tag, right after the url of the image, but still inside the tag.
You can add several images as long as their combined width is not wider than the frame.
If you want to put a space between images, or several spaces, you can use--   ---it will make one space. Just repeat it for as many spaces as you want.

 
Once you play around with this, you'll find there are lots of things you can do. I use Media 3D Text Builder to make my annotations. They make them into a Gif file in any font,size and color you want. Then you can transload them to your own site; or Media Bilder will keep them saved for several hours. Just copy the url and use it at the test bed you're using.

The possibilities are endless and I don't have time or space to go into all of them. Play around with this--use your favorite backgrounds, gifs, and image tolls and
BE CREATIVE and HAVE FUN!!!

 
If you need a test bed here is the one I use. Just click on HTML TestBeds at the top of the page.
