Quick (very basic) Dreamweaver question.

[Godly Paladin]

This is what I've got so far for my site: http://captivesilence.freehostia.com/home.html

But I'm having a problem. For one thing, is it possible to make the text box edges flush with the edges of the pictures? But I just realized that if you view the site at different resolutions, you'll end up with different picture sizes.

Anyway, I'm pretty new to this setup so any help is appreciated.

What do you mean? You want the text to have the same edges as the images? Just take out one of the blockquote elements (you don't really need to nest them anyway), and set the margin on the remaining one to 0px.

I'd recommend studying the CSS Specification to understand how to do that and fancier. It's worth knowing for anybody who wants to create web pages, even in a tool like Dreamweaver.

Yeah, I removed the blockquote/indents because they weren't helping. To be a bit clearer, I want the text to begin at the left side of the pictures and end at the right side of the pictures. (much like this: http://www.sega-16.com/)

First, make the images narrower. Even if you're assuming at least 1024x768 resolution, you have to remember the chrome/scrollbars and the possibility of a somewhat smaller viewport. Once you've done that, put in a div with an explicit width matching the image elements. The reason the paragraphs are narrower is that they size to fit their container, which is currently the body element.

Of course, having to scroll for every single line of text is extremely annoying, so you'll want to make sure that you don't make the page too wide. Take it down by a good 50-100px. Maybe even bring them down to, say, 800 or so. The site you linked looks about 800px wide, but has a bit of margin around the content, so it feels more like, say, 760px or so.

Whew - okay, I think I follow you and I'll try that out. Thanks.

It's just (div style="width: 900;") or whatever width at the very beginning, and another (/div) at the end.

EDIT: Right on, I got it! Thanks, Kaligraphic!
