New Page 1

To make the website flow, I think you should always have something typed just below the banner, an introduction to the page. This could be a brief summary, a quick fact, an update, or something else relevant to that page. You just delete the text I have and start typing your own. You don't need to hit enter to wrap the lines of text, I've coded so that is done automatically, as well as justification of the text. If you have nothing to say and want to delete this, just highlight from below the bottom horizontal line, all of this text, and the top horizontal line... then hit delete. To add it back, click just below your banner, hit enter, and in FrontPage hit: insert, horizontal line. Then hit enter a few times to give you space to type, then add another horizontal line. Finally, hit enter, if needed to make space between the bottom horizontal line and your book entries. The font here in the CSS page is called belowtitletext. You just highlight all the text in this spot, and in FrontPage, select belowtitletext from your pull down menu (furthest one left) of CSS fonts... look for one of the fonts near the bottom of the list as that's usually where FrontPage shoves them. I used horizontal lines instead of the dividers I had before (like update) because they're less trouble "blending-in wise" when you change the layout colours. Easy = goal.

You can enter pictures into this space, type text, etc. Use my instructions from the other pages (side, home, etc...) if you don't know how to do something. I put the "books" page instructions at the bottom of this page for convenience. As for text, remember

Titles: Highlight, select titles from the css font drop down menu

Normal: Highlight, select normal (the one without symbols near the bottom) from the css font drop down menu

And you make a text link by highlighting the text you have typed, right click, "hyperlink" and typing in the http url. then select "target" button in the hyperlink popup and choose either same frame or new window.

In the Dark with You:

How to update the books. Easiest: you highlight & copy from just above an entry for a book to just below it, thus getting all of the code, and then you paste it where you want the new book entry. You can then delete each part, one at a time, (title, text about the book, the book picture) and replace them with the new entry details. How to replace each part (you can use these instructions to enter a new book entry in without copy & paste as well). 1) Picture of book: In FrontPage: Insert, select your picture from the popup (browse), hit insert/okay. Now, you need to right-click the picture and choose "picture properties." In "picture properties" pop-up, under the "appearance tab", you will choose your text "wrapping style." In this example, I have choosen left. See, the picture is to the left and the text wraps around it. Right means the picture is to the right and text wraps around it. That's in the example below. I think left works best. 2) Title: type the title. If the font doesn't look the same (using the copy & paste method), just highlight the title text and choose "titles" from your CSS font choices in the drop down menu furthest to the left (FrontPage). 3) Text about the book (this stuff), you just type it in. If it looks weird for some reason, when finished, highlight and choose the "normal" CSS font from the CSS menu. Be careful, there are default font choices called "normal" that FrontPage uses (I should have called it differently), but you want the one with no symbols beside it (and it's probably near the bottom with the other CSS font choices I made - titles & textbelowbanner). If the title and text about the book all turn into the same font, just highlight each one seperately and try picking their respective fonts from the drop down menu again. They are coded according to "paragraph style" which looks like < p style = "titles" > stuff here < / p > in the code, except without the spaces. That means, to code properly, you need to hit enter at least once between the title and the body text to make them "individual paragraphs" so they can have their own "paragraph" font styles. Bonus: If you want the book thumbnail to be "clickable" so that it brings the user to a new page (to buy it or read a preview, etc) or to show a new window with a bigger picture of the cover, you need to right click the picture of the cover and select "hyperlink." In the pop-up you enter the www.http address of the page/photo you want linked to the cover or select one of your pages/picture you have in your directory from the scrollable menu in the pop-up. You select the "target" button and in that box, either select "same frame" to open in the "main frame/table" or "new window" to open a pop-up window. If you want the picture to fade slightly then "brighten" in Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers (most common) when clicked, as I did for this picture, you click the "style button" in the "hyperlink" pop-up and in "class" type "highlightit" which is what I called it in the main.css page. To delete a hyperlink on the picture (no link on the picture), just right click, select hyperlink, and click the "remove link" button to the left of the link http addy. Lastly, to add a border around a picture, as I did in the banner and this book, you right click the picture, choose "picture properties" and under the "appearance tab" in the pop-up enter 1 (or higher, for thicker) in the border textbox.
