Topic: Crap Company Webpage

Believe it or not, my experiments to date have included a footer bar with the offices along the bottom (with changing colours when active or hovering) and dark blue text. . . I keep asking Marketing for a fancier logo, say like our plague (black lacquered letters on burnished steel) but because they think they should do it all. They love the webpage as it stands. Which tells you all you need to know about them.

There was a Dilbert cartoon a few months ago in which Dogbert is pretending to be a doctor. A man comes to him and says "there's something wrong with my elbow." Dogbert asks to have a look at ity, and the man drops his trousers. Dogbert suggests a career in Marketing. I sent this strip to them. . . they didn't get it. 8)

OK, my current concept runs like this: footer with office links along the bottom, silver background, navy text and links (going to the awful company blue when active or hovering), plus some new pages on individual departments which I'm creating based on links in the 'People. . .' section.

Plus I've done my own logo from scratch. . . very useful, having it as a true type font!

Maybe. Let me see what I have by this weekend, and then I'll put up a little sample.

Next question: how in PSP 5 can I get a GIF with a transparent background?

You do what I did.

*pause*

"*sigh* what did you do?"

I asked someone else.

(Now that was a useful post wasn't it?)

Hey Lee, I can make it transparent for you, just email it to me, and I'll send it back

Set it up as a table page Leah.... have a navy side-bar that gradiates into white, put the logo on the wite, and do side-bar navigation as well as the bottom bar.

Leah? And how does creating a table help? I'll still have a GIF with a background I tried to make transparent, yet still shows as white. . . I know I saw someone give instructions on how to do it in PSP, but that was several EnterForums ago. . . Baloo?

Yea, verily, it worketh. 8)

. . . only yhe effect wasn't quite what I wanted, so I've gone back to the drawing board on that one. I mean, the silver colour is pretty standard, so I've just used that as the background to the GIF.

ACK!... LEE.

Sorry.... I wasn't coherent last night.

And you make an HTML table with no border to align the navigation on one side of the page and the content on the other.
