anyway, i was going to check your code & suggest a way to code your page, so i'll have to do it without the benefit of lookng at the source code

i suggest something like this:

<div id="review" class="boxy">
<h2>reviews</h2>
<p> bla bla blah</p>
<ul>
<li>bla ba bla </li>
<li> bla bla blee </li>
<li> bla bla bloom </li>
</ul>
</div>

notice it has an id and a class since there can only be 1 id per page and this belongs to a class of "boxy" boxes.

then you'd style it something like this:

.boxy {
width: 20%;
backround: #fc9 url(/images/boxybackground.png) repeat-y top left;
/* the background image repeats to fit the length of the box */
color: #c93;
padding: 1em;
float: left;
}

that would float about 5 boxes next to each other each with a bg image and if the image doesn't download the ffcc99 color covers yer ass.

padding can mess up some times the alignment depending on the box model of each browser uses, so putting a div within a div becomes (oh no!) necessary so it inner elements can all adjust within your 20% thing that divides your page in (say) 5 boxes per line.

if you want something specific only to this box, you'edefine it in the id style

#review {
border: 1px dashed #900;
clear: left; /* this would in theory move the box to float in the next line rather that next to the previous box element ; in other words, "review" would be first on the left */
}

that's more or less it, i hope it helps, have fun. there may be syntax errors in the code above but i can't check right now.

dead on. I'm fixing it right now :). I resolved quite a few of the problems we were encountering too. The DN works on all browsers now, just have to fix the background from repeating....

Inhuman 09.26.2006 09:10 PM

Fixed pretty much all the problems, I'm not finding anything wrong at the moment. Did most of the contact page other than the legal stuff. If you don't wish to have your actual name on the page for privacy reasons, just give me a shout and I'll fix it up for you.

My login doesn't seem to work correctly. Could you send me an e-mail with my password in it? I might have typed something wrong.

Alex's Trip 09.26.2006 11:23 PM

for your login, did you include "@groundwatermusic.com"?

HaydenAsche 09.26.2006 11:27 PM

Yes. And I tried it the other way.

Alex's Trip 09.26.2006 11:29 PM

Oh, well that sucks.

I sent you an email from my account. It went to Hasche@groundwatermusic.com

It seemed to go through, so I guess it is just a password thing...

HaydenAsche 09.26.2006 11:30 PM

Yeah.

Inhuman 09.27.2006 09:56 AM

Sorry about that hayden. I was unable to PM you and I was really caught up in a lot of things with fixing up the site.

Your password was too long, so I made it the same as the one you gave me without the last 4 numbers. You can switch your password at any time as well. Sorry about that

HaydenAsche 09.27.2006 10:40 AM

Yeah. I don't have pms. I forgot to tell you that.

Thanks.

couldn't help to notice that the mailto link on the site (the "contact webmaster") is spelt wrong, it is spelt as webmaster@groundwdatermusic.com. sorry to nitpick, i wasn't intentially looking out for it or anything but these things come to me.

Thanks! No, it's really good when people point these things out. Better than havinga broken link :). thanks again!

Pretty much anything really!

-I really want to focus on news, you can never get enough news
-If you're a visual or digital artist, you can help with logo's/wallpaper
-Interviews with bands are nice, even if they are small bands, you can refer the site to them and they'll have themselves + all their friends visiting, which would promote the site a little, and the more people we get, the more money I can put into the site
-If you're a programmer, I could use a lot of help with that. It's going to take me forever until the site is done alone, especially once I get some audio RRS feeds in there.
-Money contributions, although I definately don't expect people to donate money.
-Obtaining copyrights would be nice, so instead of having hotlinks to illegal sources we'll have them ourselves.

Thanks very much!

I sort of want to do something with Hayden, a feature where we poke fun at bad music. If you have any ideas and want to collaborate, shoot me a PM.

I've been working on a review, "NYC G+F Revisited", is the working title.. can I post it on here just to get a few tips on how I could improve?
