i intend to use the site to show the artistic efforts of my friends, family and myself. this will include writing, photography and art.
the only information i have, i got by reading several articles at www.soyouwanna.com, i did manage to create a functional (if terribly bland) HTML sample document
beyond that, i know nothing.
any advice, resources you can direct me to would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

1. How can you modify fonts? i am aware of the -H1- options and so on, but can you change the fonts that are used?
2. How do you create panels? such as a panel running all the way down the left side with link options? Or a tab across the top in much the same way there is a tab on this website?
3. is php nuke especially for forums, or do people use to build other websites?
replace the periods .. with <>
the =1 is the size can be any number up to 76 I think..
2 panels are a whole nother lessen in itself. there not easy but once made there ok to handle.
php is not only for forums. it is also for databases, directoires. lists, other stuff and can be used for jsut web sites..
i will take that advice and information and push on. i will probably be back for a next wave of questions...

PHP is short for GOD
Are you talking about font size? Using HTML that code is incorrect. There are two codes for font sizes, one using 100% HTML, and one using inline CSS.
HTML font sizes: You can replace the # with any number between 1 and 10, one being the smallest, 10 being the largest.
Inline CSS font sizes: in this case you can replace the number with any number, since it goes by "point" size, like in Microsoft Word. You can also change pt to px, which will change the font sizes into pixels rather than points.
2. i have not selected a hosting service and would be interested in opinions (keep in mind i live in Shanghai, China...if that matters)
a couple new issues i have bumped into
1. i want to place 4 images that function as hyperlinks on one line together...i have that all sorted out....but i want to put a little space between each one? any idea how i can do that? here is my code:
<CENTER><B>A</B><A HREF="webpage2.htm"><IMG SRC="monkey.jpg"></A>
<B>B</B><A HREF="webpage3.htm"><IMG SRC="beck1.jpg"></A>
<B>C</B><A HREF="webpage4.htm"><IMG SRC="monkeyshock.jpg"></A>
<B>D</B><A HREF="webpage5.htm"><IMG SRC="gorilla.gif"></CENTER></A>
2. i know that making panels is a big project...can anyone recommend where i might start to learn about it...i just do not know where to start
3. i really want to do some stuff with bordering and backgrounds within the borders as described a bit down the page here http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Style
(i must be missing something or the code isn't dumbed down enough, because I can't get it to work)
thanks in advance

<font style="font: 20px Arial;">Blah</font>
Replacing "Arial" with the font face you want to use.[/PHP]
For spaces you can do one of a few things, you can use:
[PHP] which means non-breaking space which basically puts a single space in there as if using the spacebar.
You could put style="margin: 3px;" inside the img tag which would put a 3 pixel margin around the image (or use magin-left for just the left, or margin-top for just the top, etc.
Last option is to use a transparent gif image to space the things apart. This has been used for ages as it is something that browsers can't screw up or do differently and and be manipulated a little easier than some other things.[/PHP]
The "div" part of the code above states that the class can be found in a <xmp><div></xmp> tag. So start off by creating text or markup inside a div tag. The text between the dot and the { is the "class" of the object. To define a class just put "class=NAME" after the word "div" in the first tag, like this:
You can replace "NAME" with anything you want to call the class, but it must correspond with the CSS code. You can also integrate the CSS into the HTML <xmp><div></xmp> tag, like this:
