Try to not use so many images, the background could of just been a small tiled image.

[JoeComins]

I no, but I don't know how to code on NotePad, so I use ImageReady. It culd ust be a 8x8 pxl image tiled for the background.

[Shadowrock!]

i like it :D mainly cuz i cant do those things lol

To tile an image on the page you put this code between your head tags.


<style>
body {
background-image: url()
}
</style>

You put the address of the image between the brackets, so it would be like:


<style>
body {
background-image: url(Image address here)
}
</style>

Not all layouts in HTML have to be made up of images, where I could in my layout I used CSS with DIVs.
If you have a layout which uses lots of images, you have to slice the images and then insert them into your HTML. You can insert the images into tables, and this site http://www.slicingguide.com/ explains how to do that.

Opps double post.

[JoeComins]

I no how to do the HTML part of it. What I mean is do you slice it then add it into tables, do you slice it manually, do you make small images, and whats the difference between imageready sliced and Notepad?

On your layout the area where the text will go is an image, that has to be a table where you can insert text. Also you should make the background a tile.
The site I made uses no tables, and the layout isn't a sliced image so I can't answer your question about what I did with sliced images.

It does want to be a table to insert text, a its not a standard font. It's visitor. And if you dont' have it on your computer, youb will see it as Roman Times I think. And You wouldn't have got the 1px stroke

[nets]

You can change the font though, you could use Verdana etc.

[JoeComins]

But visitor is the font I want for that paticual part. And Verdana is nes of my favourite default fonts

I personly have never realy sliced as to say, i code first and make images fit that rather than base the code on the image, but i do make images, for them by cuting em to minim sizes and repaeting replatedly where possible so as to minimise BW useaghe "/
