This is so cool!

Thanks to Venomous Kate for this link: StrangeBanana: Computer-generated webpage design.

Everytime you refresh the page, a different template appears.

I don't know CSS well enough to create an exciting template and I'm too cheap to pay someone else to do it - well, actually, we spend too much money on guns to have enough money left over for my own template.

I will try some of these tonight when I return from work.

Oh, can anyone tell me how to get a graphic into the top of my page? Or do you make the whole header thingie a graphic?
I love the dachsund on pamibe's page, wondered if I could do something similar with a different kind of critter - I guess it would have to be a nekkid critter.

I'll do some checking around.
Update: I found a really neat style, I applied it, and all my stuff on the right, from the calendar on down went to the very bottom of my blog.
So I'm back to where I was. The style looks a whole lot different from MT, so I got scared. If anyone can help me with this, I have the new style in the Extended Entry.

OHMYGOD this is so cool!!! The comment section has changed as well... [Yes, I know that CSS is a wonderful and mysterious thing! LOL!]
I saw this at Kate's and followed the link, but am just not brave enough. IF ya know what I mean. But it's cool.

The graphic on top goes in the Main Index template right under the body tag.
Basically, I took out the tag that would have been my header, and put up the graphic.

If you make a graphic.... It would have to be compatible with ALL the different styles... If you don't keep just one. Hmmm...

Forgot to say: I did a large banner so it would take up the entire header, but have you seen shark blog? He just put a pic of a shark on the upper left corner, so just about anything's possible....

Don't be scared of the Stylesheet. First, before you do anything else, copy and paste the SS into a word processor and save it.

Then, mess around with it all that you want. If you mess up anything, you can always go back to the beginning with the original SS.

You can get MT help here

There is CSS help here and here

Your stuff goes to the bottom of the page because someting in the column [div]is too wide for the column [div]. Same thing happened to me. E-mail me the SS and Index for that design and I'll look at it to see if I can find out what the problem was. I won't guarantee anything though.
