Playing with HTML

I've been reading up on HTML trying to figure out how to spruce up my profile. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Wow, put mine to shame! Yours looks AWESOME! Great job.

I don't agree Megan. I just looked at yours and am very impressed with it! I was going for something like that but couldn't find backgrounds like that. Almost everything I found was solid backgrounds like I used. The main message board suggests using http://www.bigoo.ws/ and that's all I found there although they have so many I'd never find the time to look through all of them. I also found some at http://www.backgroundcity.com/ but they were about the same there too. Yours looks great!! I see you had a great time at your HS reunion too!

You did a great job! Darlene

Thanks Darlene!

That looks great! I still haven't figured out how to do anything wtih my profile. Do you have a good reference (like for dummies!)? You look great!

Basically everything I learned today was from http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ I read the section on tables which is why I focused on that most. It really started with that because you couldn't read the tickers with most of the backgrounds I tried and I couldn't control the colors of those. I finally found a way to place it in a table to control the background colors where they can be read. Take a look at my reply to Megan above. Those are good sights for tons of backgrounds but I would have preferred to find a background format like she has. If it will help you I can send you the text file backup of my profile so you can see the HTML code I used. It may be a good reference so you can see what I used to make it display like that. If you want it, just let me know. Rick

WOW!!!! That looks great. I really need to do a profile. I have the just the basics on mine. You look great! I am amazed by your numbers!!!!!!! The chart is really cool. You keep track well. I need to do that better too. Thanks for the inspiration. Kristen

Thanks Kristen. Comparing your profile pic to your email photo you've definitely come a long way! You look great! Thanks for the compliments. I travel a lot for work and there was out of town from June 13 till mid-July so I wasn't able to keep track during that time. Other than that I do try to keep regular records. Rick

Love the profile Rick. You have changed so much you don't look like the same person. You have done so well on this journey I really need to spend time on my profile and update it and spruce it up. You and Megan have set the bar for us others to reach...
