    Question Needing some design advice/help.

    To all who would consider helping:

    I'm a relative neophyte when it comes to HTML. That is to say, I understand the basics (the extreme basics) of HTML and CSS, and am reasonably comfortable with my site's readability and general design. I do, however, have one thing I would like to do but have absolutely *no* idea how to accomplish.

    Simply put, I would like to put a logo design in the upper right hand corner of the pages. I've tried just adding in the <img> tag above and within the unordered list that I have for my navigation bar, but it doesn't display the way I would like it to.

    Does anyone have any advice on how to execute the idea I have? Also, any input on the general design would be appreciated. I am, after all, an artist with words *not* graphics.

    I will appreciate any constructive input. All destructive input will be placed in my mental /dev/null for further consideration.

    Almost forgot my website address. celticwolf.exofire.net

    The easiest way would be to set margin-top: x px; for the navigation <div> Where x is the logo height.
    This will push the nav bar by x pixels down.

    Then create a new <div> for the logo and float it to the left. Use the margin property to adjust it where you want.

    A small suggestion: why not use wordpress, or if you are feeling adventurous, then drupal; it will make life so much easier for you.
    -hope this helped
    Cheers,
    Shaunak

    Re: Needing some design advice/help.

    Thank you for the suggestions, shaunak. I'll look into the <div> thing and the margin-top thing as well. As regards wordpress and drupal, I'm not really doing a blog (I've got LiveJournal for that). This is more a site for snippets and world information on the books that I write. Thus I'm not one-hundred percent sure that CMS or blogging software is what I need.

    But hey, I'm checking them out to see if they might actually be what I need.

    just use a div with float:right; in the style settings and put it at the start.

    If you want simple answers just go to google
    And type in DIV align codes or HTML align codes
    or something along those lines.
    Lol, that's what I used to do, before I got the hang of all this.
    It worked well, because when I would ask people
    They'd give me, confusing answers ya' know?
    Lol. So, just go to google, for the most simple answer.
    :]
