I really don't have any grasp of HTML, but fortunately the server on Comicgen end manages to make it float. Coding in HTML or CSS or what have you seems entirely like an art unto itself.

I don't understand much about CG's templates and html and stuff. I usually had someone help me through it when I wanted to do things, because yeah...it's hard on the noggin.
Caught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity/Mesmerised by the stare of your shallow personality
Gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around/Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around
Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes/Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die

I was lucky because I've always been one of these people who technology and teaching themselves comes easy, but I will put up my hand to say it did take me a day or so to get over my fear of the bloody FTP server lol...I'm on dialup and trying to load things is hard at the best of times so messing around with something that could destroy my site at the first wrong click kinda worried me a tad. But I'm with Tri...

And I'm constantly learning as I'm one of these...

A tip I'll give you that I found useful is, if you see what you WANT to do on another site, open up the source code for the page and find the part you want and use that as a template to work out which HTML things you need to learn in order to do what you want.

In Firefox go View>Page Source or if you're using IE go View>Source
