i have my original site here: http://sigmaseven.net

some people said i should change my color scheme, tell me which one is best:

Color Scheme 1 : http://sigmaseven.net/Untitled-1.jpg

Color Scheme 2 : http://sigmaseven.net/Untitled-2.jpg

Color Scheme 3 : http://sigmaseven.net/Untitled-3.jpg

Sorry about the larger images, didn't want to redo site, didn't have much time, each image is about 250k, again sry. If you think another color scheme would look good, take the image edit it, post a reply and you can send the image to theuedimaster@yahoo.com

I kinda like the second one, but that may be because my bedroom walls are orange.

More opinions?

I don't like the left navigation links with the underline. I think the should be lower case and with no text decoration.

What resoloution is the screenshot taken in?

Oh and also. Maybe when hovering over the left navigation links, the background colour would change.

You should also use list navigation for the links as it is a bit more organised when styles are disabled.

First, resolution is 1024 x 768

Second, how can I make the navigation bar links change color when I hover over them?

Check out this thread www.webdevforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734.

Also, I would check out the article on list navigation that i posted in my last comment. Give the tool and try and see how rewarding the results can be.

Best Wishes,

I don't understand, at the end I get html code and css code, where do I put the css? I have no idea, haven't learned css yet. I am just using dreamweaver right now, I will learn css soon, but I have no idea where to put this css. In a whole new html file? In the header? Before the header? Thanks!

CSS can either go in the document, between the <head></head> tags, or in an external stylesheet. Here is an example of CSS ass part of the document:

Code:

...
<head>
<style type="text/css">
	CSS goes here!
</style>
</head>
...

Or, you can put it in file and call it something like styles.css. In the file however, do not include any tags! The only thing in the file should be the raw CSS! Then, when you do that, you can import it using one of these methods (put this code somewhere between <head> and </head>):

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="styles.css" />

or this method, which would allow you to control which browsers support your import method (see here for more info):

Code:

<style type="text/css">
	@import "styles.css"; /* change red text tto whatever you want, based on what browsers you want to import the stylesheet (info in the link above) */
</style>
