I'm working on my website and I'm in the process of putting in a version of the Leser workshop material. I'd apperciate any suggestions, but what I'm most concerned with is the font. Is it too big? Sould I use another style?

Thanks!

I've linked to that page already, Lizzie, and one thing I noticed was that you have no title for the web page.

Notice the top bar will come up saying something like 'empty file' - that's not good for search engine recognition.

What you need to do is have a little html section at the top in between < head > </ head> parameters (or is it 'header' duh)

in between those you can put all sorts of things, but the main thing is 'title': < title > Fuzzylizzie Vintage - Fashions Finest - Tina Leser < / title > or something. That will then show up on the top bar of your browser window, and shows people where they've got to, and helps search engines pick it up.

The other thing I'd do is include a link back to your home page, but you're probably about to do that anyway!

Looks great, btw. :)
 
I think it looks good Lizzie. I might just reduce the font size just a teeny amount so you can see more on the page at once, and the first illustration will sit higher on the page. It looks like you have the photo set at the middle of the table. (which is fine) but you have to scroll to see the first one.
 
Okay, I'm still struggling with the font. It's set at h2, but when I tried h3, I thought it was too dense looking. Maybe I should try a different font style?

And I have NO idea about the links. I'm not using the website wizard, which adds the bar automatically. So how do I add it?
 
What about unbolding it? I found once that when i looked back in my code there was extra garbage there from me changing my font back and forth a few times.

It looks good Lizzie. I am not nitpicking, just troubleshooting :)
 
You'd have to format a new navigation bar in order to add one to this, because the one within the main structure depends on the central css file (and associated pointers in each webpage) to format it.

The best thing to do is just have one link back to your main page, or (and) to your index of Fashions Finest.

You could put it right at the bottom or the top and just add text saying 'back to home page' or something in between a hyperlink added with < a href = " your address " > (text) < / a >
 
Chris, feel free to nitpick all you want, cause I'm wanting to get this right!

I can't tell from the code that it IS bold, but it sure does look it!
 
Okay, Lin, that I can handle!

I'm in the process of changing to a different and smaller font. Please stop me if I'm making a real mess of it!

Looks good...but quick Q

Is the font you are using "Arial Black" by any chance? or is it comic sans serif? If the first, change it to regular arial.
 
Ok I'm just going to try out something here, having viewed source on the page.

<P>
<H2>
<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4>This is what you've got</font></h2>

And

<P>

<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4>This is what you have if you don't bother with the H2</font>

Will be back to try other variations.
 
<P>
Now without H" but size 3, not 4:

<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>I think missing off H2 is only really a benefit... do you think? Or am I not seeing things because I'm looking at this through Firefox?</font>
 
Okay, I've changed it to size 4, it still looks bold, but I can't see how and the visual editor doesn't change it.

So is this better?
