    I keep referring back to your lenses and I still get things wrong! Oh dear me! Do you have a tutorial on how to get the Squid Angels lined up with their pictures and names alongside? Mine were looking terrible so I've gone back to just a link. You have great information on your lenses...pity some of us are a bit cack handed!
  • Greekgeek May 28, 2012 @ 11:04 pm | delete
    For just a few lensmasters, use the Featured Lensmasters module that does it automatically.

    For more, do this:
    http://www.squidoo.com/featured-lensmasters-lenses

    (If you want their names underneath, scroll down to the "New Improved" version and add captions that are links to your names)

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by alongside, but that will at least do it with the lensmaster image and name below!

    I've been here before, came back today because I needed a refresher on some of these steps. It's interesting that it is so much easier to find this page in a Google search bar than in Squidoo's own. Go figure! But I thank you once more for taking time to compile this information.

I have book marked your page so I can keep reverting back to it, and if newbies like me never show their appreciation for the help that your posts offer then I will say it for them (SO HELPFUL) thank you

    I have to say Greekgeek if I can become half the writter as you are and help people on squidoo like you have by the learning lenses that have helped me since I been a member. I would be the happiest squid ever.

    Thank youso much and please just keep on writting them.

  • Greekgeek Sep 29, 2010 @ 6:19 pm | delete
    You want "Web safe fonts," fonts that almost every computer has regardless of operating system or browser. Here's a chart:
    http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html

    That's a good question! I've actually included a link to that page above in the section on fonts, but there's a LOT on this page so it's easy to miss. :)

    You've made an art of presenting the css codes. I love all the colors and for a time I was all about color, but I'm scaling back lately and simplifying.

    So THAT'S what a span tag is for! Besides learning that little tidbit, I've found that this will be another really useful reference. I need references every time I create or edit a lens. Just one of those things. So I have a bookmark with my faves in it. This will be added, too. Thanks and good luck on the dissertation.

    I just commented on a different lens of yours on CSS. It makes me think wow! But this one might be even better because I it has more basic info. I keep forgetting how to do the basics and there are some basics that I just simply haven't learned yet. Thank you so much for this lens too!

    Thanks to your lens I can now start aligning and taking control of my lenses with colours and styles. I love HTML but know very little of CSS. Will be back for more. 5**. Check my lens on Kenya Crafts and give your rates.

    Kept hotlinking over to this lens from your other outstanding html lens on how to do a table of contents and just realized I hadn't even stopped to comment on this one yet! (Sorry!) I love these tips and have used them on a couple of lenses lately. Very cool tricks. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Kiwi, to set the links to a different color, you'll need <a href="urlgoeshere" style="color: [colorcode];"> for EACH link. See what I'm doing? Link-colors are defined separately from text-colors, so if you define the color of the text in a paragraph, it won't apply to links. You have to set their colors individually within each link's <a> tag. (Oh, how I wish we had full access to stylesheets, classes, etc on Squidoo).
