Moving In

You ever move in to a new place, and determine to yourself, "this time I'll do better." Instantly your mind is filled with all sorts of things you could do to improve your new habitation.

For me, HatShop sits like a new empty room. It needs painting, remodeling, something to make it look more my own.

That will happen. Soon, I hope. Now back to other work. 8o)

Anything worth doing takes time and thought.

i like plad......any way to do a tartan-like look?

Hill,

Plad is possible.
Generally, you'll have to find an image of the tartan you like, and then set it as the background of some block level element. In the case of MT, the three places you'd probably consider putting the tartan would be in the banner, the blog, or the links sections.

If you were to add the tartan to the banner of your blog, you would add something like this to your CSS file:

  #banner {
    ... (old CSS properties)
    background: url('images/tartan.jpg');
  }

That would have the tartan fill the entire banner's background. There are some positioning options as well.

If you need some reference material, head over to zvon.org. There CSS 2 reference is what will probably help you most.

Cheers. 8o)

Glad you like it, Joy.

There's plenty more to be done, but the "beginning" has begun. 8o)
