Hello everybody, I'm currently making my own blog website. I got my basic layout set and currently struggling with making an css layout for my articles. My basic layout looks like this: on the top a big header where i will a little flashcontent, below the top i got a 2 column layout. The left side will be the maincontent where i will post my articles and on the left side the sidebar. This layout should be familar by most of you :).
The problem is that I am now trying to make the layout for an article post. And i wanted it something like this :
----------begin---------------- (Large) Title . . . . . . . . . . (small )category: category (small) date and time, posted by: blar
Article starts here . . . . ----------end----------------
These article "object" will reside in the #maincontent div i made ( the left colum ) I want to ask if someone can tell me how to style this the best, do i need extra divs for the articles? or can i just style the headers, P etc of the #maincontent div ??
I want to pull the articles from ym database, will I have difficulities if I use divs for the articles inside the #maincontent div?
Try looking at the source code of http://alistapart.com/ for some inspiration, it's very nicely styled and is guaranteed to be semantic!
They have each article in it's own <div class="item">, and the just use h4, h5 and p, which might work well for you as well, if you've used h1/h2/h3 already that is...
thnx for the tip, I will go check it right away ! I was planning to use divs for each article. But just have to figure out when pulling data with php how to automaicly loop the proces for each article.
Drop me a line if you need help with the php part. I'm currently revising some code myself, and would be happy to help, since it seems that I have nothing else to do at the moment.
Thnx, will let ya know if i have troubles pulling the data from the database, I think it's the best that i finish all my css stuff with dummy text before pulling the real data from database.
Thank you ... from your conversation here and that I obviously come in handy on my site http://pharmacyaffiliate.biz ... just a problem with the mapping code ... but I feel fixed now
