Need help making a skin from a Template!

1 Sep 29, 2005 05:51    

I downloaded a Template I really like, but I would like to use it as a skin on my website. I have no clue as to what to do.
The page is at http://diablo2k.zeeblo.com/test and you can find the template files at http://www.diablo2k.zeeblo.com/test/files/32.zip you will also need the header logo I created that is on my test page.
Thanks!

I would like the Text in the logo to be centered on the page, the Font used is Dark Crystal Outline. Other than that the layout is good, Also I would like the page to expand with the screen resolution or be setup for a 1024x768. most skins I have used apear to be setup for a 800x600 screen resolution but I feel that is outdated as most people have screans that are large enough to support 1024x768, and 15" or larger LCD screen is at least that size.

Tables, yuck!

You've got to get the right bits of code into the right table cells. This would be a heck of a lot easier if you were using a template that used CSS for layout rather than tables. You're just going to have to play around with it. Move code around until it looks the way you want it to. No one is going to do it for you (for free), but give it a try and ask for help when you get stuck. Firefox, with [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60]this extension[/url] can be very helpful.

It came with a CSS file, should I have edited it instead of the .html file? In fact I first had the cuntom.css file and style.css file in the dir with everything else, it looked alot worse then, I deleted the custom.css file and edited the .html to point to the style.css.
I am a super noob when it comes to html and php and css. I tried to follow the directions the best I could. But the directions really suck as far as what files to edit!

Edit: the css file only has a few lines describing the color of links and sliders, so I guess that wont help.

So how much would it cost me to get this set up properly, I wasn't looking for a handout, I know that peoples time is valuable as is mine. I would imagine the right person could do this in about 15 minutes if they new what they were doing.
