Hello,
I have built my site <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.learn-how-to-crochet.com/">http://www.learn-how-to-crochet.com/</a><!-- m --> through Site Build It, using the Block Builder. The site looks alright when the monitor resolution is 800 x 600, but when viewed on higher resolutions there is a lot of space down the left and right side. I found out on their forums that because I used the Block Builder and not Dreamweaver, Front Page, etc., I can't add any html to my site that will make it conform to different monitor resolutions. I did find a html code that allowed me to add a border around my home page, but when I tried to add it to my other pages it will not work. I have a Google Adsense ad in my navigation bar which also looks alright at 800 x 600, but moves to the left outside the bar when viewed at higher resolutions. What I would like to know, does a border or margin around a site stop it from being spidered? I would also like to know if there is any html I could add to my site to make it fill any monitor resolution size? I know there is some html codes that can be added to a site to make it fill all screen resolutions, I have tried some of these but none have worked.
Thank you
MichelleI think the problem that you are having is the blue frame you have going around your page. Its like a frame, the page scrolls inside of it. I think you should strip it of that script and just make the background that 9A66CE (pink) color if you want the same effect in high resolutions. Also, the google ads, you have set to a certain px length from the left side, so when you switch up to 1024X768 res or above, it moves off the left side of your body. Instead, you should put it in the cell that makes the left side of the body.
Oh yea, i might suggest getting a monitor that supports at least 1280X1024.
pm me if you have any issues.Hello Emerick,
Thank you for your reply. I have previously tried to put a background colour on my web page unsuccessfully. Could you please tell me the code for doing this?
The main reason why I have been unable to do this is because I made my web page in the Block Builder in Site Build It.
Thank you

This link shows you the code (in the body tag) to alter the background colour. Please note though, it may not have the results you are after. I would look into learning html here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp</a><!-- m -->. It's fairly easy and you will be able to amend the code in your existing site as you please. You can also probably remove a lot of un neccesary code which WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors are notorious for adding.
I agree with Emerick though, loose the purple border.
Also once you have been through the HTML stuff try css <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp</a><!-- m --> which is used to style the plain html documents.Hello Dopple
I did not use a WYSIWYG editor to make my page. Site Build It uses a block builder to build your site. It lets you put your sites name in a header template then you type the words for the body in a box, just like this box I am typing in now. Then when you want to add anything to your site you go back to the block builder. I seem to be able to change whats in the body but not the header or change the width of my page or even background. I was hoping someone could help me with some html to change the width of my page. On the Site Build It forums they said not only to me but others that a border could not be added but I found the html to do it. They also said I could not change the width of my page, I thought there might be a way to do this as well.
Thank you
MichelleSounds like a pretty restrictive service! Try freewebs.com or <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.100webspace.com">www.100webspace.com</a><!-- w -->. They don't have a builder as such but if you tech yourself some html and css (and post any questions you have here) then you can get away with a much nicer site with more control over what you do (Plus 100webspace gives you a free database and allows you to use PHP (a scripting language))I am currently useing dreamhost and i love it! they give you lots of freedom look into them also if you are interested in switching... maybe try changeing your ad sense to the top of the page so the page is more centered?
