I have recently been named as the Webmaster for the OSU College Republicans. The last Webmaster didn't ever update the Web site, and he left the College Republicans in a bad situation.

He left without giving up the password for the Web site. Now he won't return their calls. So while we are attempting to track down the password for the Web site, I am still scripting out what I want it to look like.

I am leaning towards The Auburn College Republicans Web site theme and look. We've visited several, and are still deciding. Here is our old Web site.

It hasn't been updated, and won't be until we can track down the password. We believe the old Webmaster became a Democrat. Anyways, if anybody here has any HTML tips, and or tricks please let me know.

Free Republic has really helped me learn HTML in the past couple years, but I know there is a lot I still don't know. The easy stuff like Marquees, Font Size, Font Color, links, pictures. I know that stuff.

I have managed to find a few pages with some amazing script.

Do any of you all know of Web pages which look really good or use a certain font, script, etc that you like? Better yet, are any of you College Republicans from around the country that might be able to give me some ideas?

Here is the Young Democraps page. It appears not to have been updated either. I am planning on making our College Republicans page, informative, entertaining, and downright Conservative!

I also liked The Young Republicans of Virginia Web site. I understand that if you put too many pictures, etc on your Web site it will become heavy and won't load fast.

But..I'll have plenty of links. Drudge, Rush, Free Republic, Townhall. Plenty of pics from our meetings. I've also made a message board for the College Republicans, which I will link to from the main page.

Another great thing I'll put on it is a place where people can donate money if they would like. We also sell T-shirts. We can put pictures of them up as well.

Anyways. Good HTML info...besides the Sandbox.

THANKS!

Gotcha.

And now...something completely off the subject...LOL!

I also forgot to mention one other thing. Don't know if you noticed or not, but one of the neat things about our Web site is the "Wiki" capability. If you're not familiar with Wiki, it's a way to edit a Web page "on the fly". Check out the Wiki Help pages for more info. It's a great way to keep your Web site up to date at minimal (as in "no") cost.

If I/we can be of any assistance, just let us know!

Thanks! I'm not familiar with Wiki. But I'll look into it.

One more thing - if you look into embedding any flash files, check out Swish - easy and killer app. Banner here is in Swish. Swish is in the $100 range instead of Micromedia Flash for $400+. The site was done in NetObjects.

Bwahahahahaha!

That was quick!

Thanks for the links. I've fallen behind the times when it comes to HTML and the like.

Now my only pleasure comes from hiding links where people are likely to ignore them.

Looks good to me - I always found for static html site it's easier to user an editor like dreamweaver from macromedia, it improves speed of information and is a good way of managing content. Unless you want to go the way of scripting (perl etc..) where you can dynamically upload content. This takes time to set up. The only thing I would warn against is too much 'technology" ie animated gifs flash, marquees, java applets as some of these are browser dependent and some need plugins - This can make your site heavy and some browsers may not load the information correctly. When I did this there was a site called webmonkey that was very helpful.

I have a script that takes away the underline in links.
Interested? :)

Linda...on your profile page, the blue isn't readable against the dark background. At least on my IE6.

[Tanniker Smith]

Yeah, but that's mostly me checking the page to make sure that I didn't screw it up when updating. (I'd say there are less than 10 genuine hits on the page -- yours is the only one I know about.)

And, yes, I'd be interested in a script that removes the underlines. Talk about exclusive -- it'd be a blog so secret none could find it. (although after two weeks, it showed on google ... if you know what to search on.) (grin)
