I've decided to switch from a tag-board to a blog.... any suggestions on a free one?

In most cases, homemade is free.

Blog? I'd suggest LiveJournal. Last time I checked, they're free and accepting signups. It's not necessarily the best, but it has a large community.

Ultimately I'd like something that will show up on my main page underneath the comic of the day..... maybe a blog isn't the right thing I'm thinking of.....

anyone know what the heck I'm talking about???

Maybe the thing at the bottom of http://grimtidings.keenspace.com/ is what you'd like.

I use http://www.blogger.com.

I'm not sure what Keenspace allows anymore, but I have it all conveniently rigged so the blog is hosted on my space rather than theirs, and I can update my index page along with it.

Are you talking about adding a rantbox under your comic??
Then in anycase it's easy. (go to the Ensign's handbook)

Just make a textfile named yearmonthdate.txt.

ALright... I thought I had it figured out.... What I really want is some kind of Text Box that can be scrolled on its own, that I can input HyperText into.... I've tried doing it on my own and it's just not working... anyone have any tips or suggestions on how I can accomplish it??

You mean something like an iframe? (the little box with the news on my site)

MrEff · Post by **MrEff** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 1:00 pm

Thats it exactly!! Are you able to post clickable links in it?

You you should be able to post clickable links in an iframe. Iframe just reads another html page into the frame.

MrEff · Post by **MrEff** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 1:26 pm

ALrighty.... now how do I go about getting this "I-Frame" into my page?

Vorticus · Post by **Vorticus** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 1:28 pm

Try here: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/frames/_IFRAME.html
By the way, google is your friend. Of course I am assuming you understand the basics of html.

I do... I'm slowly re-teaching myself... thanx for the help!!!

-MrEff-

MrEff · Post by **MrEff** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 2:50 pm

AHA! I got it!!! Thanx again for all the help.... feel free to check out the fruits of my labor!

Erm, not to rain on your parade or anything, but you could have done that a lot more easily just by inserting a table... I mention this because I've heard that if your keenad malfunctions it'll put the ad into the next available i-frame--i.e., your rantbox. If you use a table, and set it to overflow:scroll (I don't remember the rest of the code, but it should be pretty easy to find; tables are probably the most common part of html out there) you'll get the exact same effect.

Edit: That is to say, you'll get the same effect as an i-frame, only without the malfunctioning keenad bit.
