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!

And, yes, I'd be interested in a script that removes the underlines.

I'll freepmail the code.
This one in particular is fun!
It not only removes the underline, but as you pass your cursor over a link, the link turns red.
Simple.
And to hide it further, although I have no idea WHY you'd want to do this,
match the a:hover {color: red; text-decoration: none} to the color of your text!
Your links will be indistinguishable from your text!

I LOVE this stuff!

If Anita Hill ever says something really stupid (she still works there??) you should all wear Coca-Cola t-shirts, bring some Coca-Cola's with you when you go to protest =o)

My advice is to avoid imposing your own fonts, to make the site friendly to non-sighted users

How do you do that??

[ConservativeMan55]

Who is that?

[ConservativeMan55]

Thanks!

Anita Hill?? Remember Clarence Thomas?? I thought she was a 'professor or teacher' at your college??

Ive been designing and doing sites/applications for 8 years. You want help let me know.

[ConservativeMan55]

Was she a professor at OSU?

Don't use the HTML < font > attribute, for the first point. The "blind-friendly" approach is tough to teach, and my recommendation would be, if you care, to use 'lynx' or other text-based browser to view the web page.

By the way, I was blessed by God with good vision, but prefer to use a text-based browser. FR is text-browser friendly.

[ConservativeMan55]

Cool! I'll take all the help I can get!

What do you think of it so far?

well, it could have been OU..

She got the job after she tried to crucify Thomas.

I remember Anita Hill, but I didn't connect her with my college right away.
