Hello Nav,
When you mean, your knowledgeable but not enough to use notepad, does that mean you dont really know
HTML,
CSS or the likes? or what? Also, as to how to approach template design i wouldn't really know because i've never tryed it and i'm still learning the languages, but i would do something like:
here's the
css:
Code:
body {
color: black; }
#navigation {
margin: 0 auto; }
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 204px;
color: black;
background-color: blue; }
#left-col, #right-col {
float: left;
height: 300px;
width: 25%;
background-color: red}
#mid-col {
height: 300px;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 2px 2px 2px;
float: left;
background-color: green}
#footer {
clear: both;
text-align: center;
background-color: black;
height: 20px;
}
html code:
Code:
<div id="navigation">
<div id="header">#Header</div>
<div id="left-col">#left-col</div>
<div id="mid-col">#mid-col</div>
<div id="right-col">#right-col</div>
<div id="footer">#footer</div>
</div>
And you would put the
css in a another sheet link to it in your <head> </head> tag's and put the
html code in your <body> on every page. Then of course, you'd put what you want in the required div tag. Also if you wanted more columns you'd add them in with the required width etc, to fit across the page.
But unless you understand
css and
html alittle bit, i wouldn't recommend you doing it at first until your've learnt it.
Hope that helped.
