    Hi...yet another newbie here. I took the Fire Rescue Squad template.

    I haven't customized or edited just yet...well i have but not published.

    www.smfdadmin.co.cc

    I imagine for the other links I can copy the index.html html code and create the new site and edit the main content...only problem is how can i get rid of the "RECENT NEWS" that is on the middle left (top left of main content area). This is great for the index/main page...but i wish it wouldn't be on every page...

    please help! I love the template...cudos to the designer

    Recent News is a gif (content-top-bg.gif) which is referenced in the css file - Sector ID#left
    You could create a second Sector ID #left_alt like below

    HTML:
     
#left_alt {
 float: left;
 padding-bottom: 20px;
 padding-left: 20px;
 padding-right: 20px;
 padding-top: 20px;
 width: 462px;
}
    Insert this code just below the Sector ID#left and save the css file.

    Now for the HTML pages that you do not want Recent News, you would code
    HTML:
    <div id="content">
  <div id="left_alt">

    help :)

    Good Morning!

    I got to work this morning and tried the new code, I did it specificially as you stated and tested it on my "members page" to where the Recent News would not show. It did get rid of the Recent News but now the 'frames' are messed up. I'm not sure what to do and what i did wrong :confused:

    Thanks

    Here are screenshots of the page after i put the new code for alternative sector id#left

    Hard to tell without looking at your code...
    Your "css file" should look like this.
    Code:
    #left {
 background: #333333 url(images/content-top-bg.gif) no-repeat 0% 0%;
 float: left;
 padding-bottom: 20px;
 padding-left: 20px;
 padding-right: 20px;
 padding-top: 80px;
 width: 462px;
}
#left_alt {
 float: left;
 padding-bottom: 20px;
 padding-left: 20px;
 padding-right: 20px;
 padding-top: 20px;
 width: 462px;
}
    The HTML pages with RNews
    Code:
    [B][SIZE=1]<div[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=1] id=[B]"content">[/B][/SIZE]
[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred][B]<div[/B] id=[B]"left">[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=1][B]<span[/B] class=[B]"flt-lft"><[/B][/SIZE][B][SIZE=1][COLOR=black]img[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=1] src=[B]"images/thumbnail-1.jpg"[/B] alt=[B]"Thumbnail"[/B] [B]/></span>[/B][/SIZE]
    The HTML pages without RNews
    Code:
    [B][SIZE=1]<div[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=1] id=[B]"content">[/B][/SIZE]
[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred][B]<div[/B] id=[B]"left_alt">[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=1][B]<span[/B] class=[B]"flt-lft"><[/B][/SIZE][B][SIZE=1][COLOR=black]img[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=1] src=[B]"images/thumbnail-1.jpg"[/B] alt=[B]"Thumbnail"[/B] [B]/></span>[/B][/SIZE]
    It works just fine in both IE and FF

    Looks Good so far.
    I always like that template, execpt for the body font color was too dark for me.
    You can lighten it up a bit in the css file under the
    body {
    background: #000000 url(images/main-bg.gif) repeat-x;
    color: #b5b5b5;
     font-family: tahoma, arial;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    text-align: center;
    }

    just a thought

    LAST QUESTION of the day..

    It used to have "FIRE RESCUE SQUAD" in the top left. I loved it, but couldn't keep it b/c it doesn't apply......any way to find out how it was made and see if I can get the same banner but with St. Marys Fire Department wording??

    That turned out really good...you can see it on my site www.smfdadmin.co.cc. I had already posted in the graphic section so i'll see if anyone still responds. Now i'll just be looking for little banners for each page to go above the content area.

    Thank you for taking the time to help and do all this. I can't say it enough...you've been awesome.

    I'm going to put my index page up for review b/c I have it looking great in my internet explorer...but my friend has firefox and sent me a screenshot of the index looking alllllll messed up.

    Your site looks ok on my side with FF 2 & 3.
    Glad CP found you for the graphics, she is, well beyond words when it comes to graphics.

    Yep, I loved both of your graphics, and they are just about the same, I just grabbed hers b/c it has the Since 2000 on there too. I am keeping both though on file.

    Do you know how to make smaller banners, possibly same design? I am looking to put little titles on each page". I.E. On the TOURS page above the form they fill out I want a graphic that says "Tours". On the CONTACT form above all our contact info i'd like a graphic that says "Contact". Just a mini-banner so to speak...idk if this makes any sense.

    The titles i would need are : Stations, Apparatus, Members, Gallery, Tours and Contact.

    I'm just a coder, who has been learning graphics since the days of DOS. You need to direct that question to CP, as it is well out of my league.

    No problem, and thank you for all the help. I did post for Cp and asked about the title/banners for each page but she wasn't sure what I meant. It does sound odd when I try to explain...hehe but i tried to re-explain and im waiting on a reply...fingers crossed.

    thanks again!!! :)
