today... i got (what i consider to be) my first rude response to a post i made on the forum trying to help someone. Not from the OP, and they are only new here, but I feel like I am part of the sevenforums family now, and was a bit put out! Guess i better take a concrete pill, and harden up!

Have you been to that thread, they're not new here any longer.

I NEED HELP!!!!

So, for my Web1 class, we're doing some very basic stuff...

but this one thing is kicking my butt...

View the code below

Code:

<h1 align="center"><img src="target1.jpg" alt="Target" />Designing Effective Web Sites</h1><br>
 
<p>When working on design of a web site, consider the following questions...</p>
 
<ol>
<li>What are the <strong>objectives</strong> of the web site?</li>
<li><strong>Who</strong> are the visitors you wish to attract?</li>
<li>How will visitors <strong>find and enter</strong> your web site?</li>
<li>What will cause visitors to <strong>stay and navigate</strong>?</li>
<li>How do you get them to <strong>revisit</strong>?</li>
</ol>
 
<p><img src="key3.jpg" alt="Key" /> It's relatively easy to <strong><em>architect</em></strong> web sites, but it's difficult to do it well!</p>
<hr size=3 align="center" />
 
<h3>What is Web Site Architecture?</h3>
 
<ul>
<li>"The application of <strong>organization, navigation,
labeling,</strong> and <strong>indexing</strong> systems to support both browsing and
searching for large, complex Web sites and intranets."</li>
<li>About web <strong>sites</strong>, not web pages</li>
<li>Information architecture with many different perspectives 
<em>(graphic design, usability engineering, technical design, etc...)</em></li>
</ul>
 
<h3>Why is it valuable?</h3>
 
<ul>
<li>Quickly gives visitor an idea of what the site is about</li>
<li>Increases speed and ease of finding information</li>
<li>Easy to find "known items" visitor is looking for</li>
<li>Supports mission and goals of the Web site</li>
</ul>
 
<h3>Architect away...</h3>

This is the assignment I am doing. It is finished, EXCEPT.. the horizontal rule lines
i.e.

Code:

<hr />

are supposed to have margins on either side, but I can't get it to work... any help please?

Syntax for hr tags is <hr size="3" align="center">

LPt1 I loved that email you got about the dog, it was such a typical response to the note.

I've spent the day being taken over by a couple of stray cats. I have a large black castrated male and for a few weeks now have had regular visit from a female, although I think she's probably been seen to. I know that she looks well looked after and not really what you'd think of as a stray but she turns up and is very vocal usually wants something to eat but put outside. If you're not around and the door is open she will walk in and wander around looking for us, being very noisy about it as well

Yesterday there was suddenly a new cat turn up, this was not that old but obviously a snipped male cat, very thin and starving as he made short work of food put down. We think he's probably got worms as well as his belly is big and hard so as I had a worm tablet in the cupboard ready to treat my own cat next month, well I gave it to Scraggy, as my husband has named him

Not long ago I had all 3 in the house, was sitting here when her ladyship came walking into my office looking for me, went back down the passage to go to the kitchen and my cat was sitting on the storage box in the hall looking as we walked past. She has something to eat and who should very cautiously come in but the new cat, the female sort of hissed a bit and went out and is settled under the car.
The new one had a walk around then suddenly saw Sooty sitting on the box, hissed at him did a little caterwauling then a bit of a pathetic meow, Sooty just sat there looking at him

Little one went back in the kitchen and Sooty went out the other door and now there's just little one settled down in the hall for all the world as if he's always lived here

Oops sorry didn't mean to turn this into a novel, but thought I'll let you know about my day, as it's now time to switch off for the night and decide who's in and who's out for the night.

This is one of the cutest emails I have received in a while!

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard.

I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had

a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head;

he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the
hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

Attachment 102075

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out..

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard,

walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall

and again slept for about an hour.

This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar:

'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is

and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon

your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:

'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 -

he's trying to catch up on his sleep.

Can I come with him tomorrow?'

what a nice story LPT i have 4 kids and a cat we only see at night

I can actually see the Lady who wanted to come with the dog.. to get rested also.. Enjoy while you have them.. they do grow up so fast.. after graduation they are gone .. :)
