Blog problems...

[Stupot_]

Hey all, following on from this thread I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers...

website is www.urbanismstudio.co.uk

It's been made in iweb, happy with the layout so far but I'm not happy with the blog page.

Firstly, its aligned slightly left of the rest of the site so looks messy when you go there.

Secondly, because it's not hosted via mobileme I can't have comments on it.

Finally, I don't have much formatting control over it. For some reason it wont let me change the links from underlined text to black/red like the rest of the site. I also think it looks a bit messy.


So... is there anyway we can have a decent blog on our site, which looks like it is part of it? i.e. with the same header bar/links at the top.

Bear in mind I'm a complete amateur!

Cheers

Any ideas guys?! is there a way to sign up to a blog service and embed it in a site for instance? Would also be useful to have a web interface to add posts rather than iWeb.

What do you mean by absolute positioning? Ta

Ahem. This could be your problem, the styling divs (blocks you place content into) are positioned absolutely. That means they are positioned in pixels so when you resize the nrowser or have a different screen resolution they stay in exactly the same place relative to top left. Not always a good idea, but I'm guessing that's how your editing software works. You may need to read up on css to get an idea where you are heading, and why it is going wrong...

Really? The site stays centred when I resize the window though...

Apparently I can use iframes to embed a website in iweb. Might try and find a good looking blog I can customise and whack it in...

Just been looking at it on different browsers...

In IE and Opera, the blog page is aligned like the rest of the site. In Chrome and firefox it jumps slightly to the left. Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks for sticking around 3dcandy Appreciate it. At the moment I might just have to find a way to make the iweb blog work for me...

Well spotted! That seems very obvious now... Will have a play, thanks
