yeah, i know i know i'm a retard when it comes to this, but
i would highly appreciate some help. i'm about to reformat
my site, and i want to make everything brand spanking new. I
already have the art done, and want to make a new sidebar
and such. i also want to make to where i can have my text
flushed left against this bar without being underneath it.

any advice?

current site

If I wasn't so busy at the moment I would have helped you
out.

alright...here goes.

THIS is how my site is now.

The idea I have for my page is something similar to
THIS except instead of the link menu/ directory
(news,events,msgbrd, etc) being up top, i'll have it in a
column on the left, all lined up. I want to be able to have
the text in there on the remaining space to the right, under
my banner up top, and be able to write it freely without
much trickery, and not have it end up underneath the menu.

Does that make sense?

i could put together a pretty sub-par site if you'd like me
to.

and you want help with the html (I,m assuming you'll do the
graphics yourself)?

do you know about CSS, divs and such?

not a clue, but all the art is done.

if you can just give me the basic code i need, and tell me
how to edit it, i could just cut and paste. i'm not a
complete idiot with html, but i'm no expert at all.

just a suggestion - why not just use the code on the
creampuff site? it should be pretty simple to change the
colors and move it around, right?

do you have a preferred (approximate) color-scheme?

yeah - black background, white letters. i'm not really
attached to my link/vlink/alink colors, i'll probably change
them to cooler shades, like blues and/or greens. I'm not too
familiar with text color codes.

you just click View Source - it's a table in html and a
map-thingy.

(black background + white letters provoke migraine-attacks,
but if you are set on it...)

actually, now that i think of it, how about a dark shade of
blue for background? i realize i'm tired of black.

umm....i hate to impose, but do you mind if i send you the
art? it's not big, so you see what's on my mind?

ya, but that's black letters on white background. the
opposite will provoke migraines.

i couldn't hurt, but as I already have a framework with
comments, I can mail it to you and you can see if you
understand by looking at the source-code.

I made a straight-up page with an area to the left with
links, an area at the top with room for header and a main
content-area. if you want more areas, read the comments. If
you don't understand, ask.
