Anybody want to lend a helping hand?

I just uploaded my webpages. They looked beautiful on my son's computer but when I went to view them on my laptop, they were all messed up, lol! I lost some of my formatting, had to scroll sideways to see the whole page . . . so not what I wanted. I guess I have more tweaking to do.

Anybody out there know offhand - is there a code that will make the page fit no matter what screen size or resolution the user uses? Or are there standard measurements?

I may end up having to buy another book. Maybe I just should have let someone that knows what they're doing design it for me. Guess that's always an option.

The normal practice is to make the site fit a 800 x 600 resoluion, also try and preview the site in different browsers e.g Firefox and Internet Explorer so that you can make sure that the site does not do anything to silly. Alot of web developers will make sure it looks ok in Firefox first up, then as Internet Explorer is not as fussy about code it will normally be fine as well.

Thanks Ben. I re-worked the whole thing and it looks a lot better. I started out not knowing anything about HTML so I had to fumble my way through before I even found out what 'div' did, lol.

I hope you use CSS. make the width of the page 780 (leaving 20 for the side scrollbar)

Traffic, Traffic, I need Traffic

In an effort to get more eyeballs to my site, I joined a few traffic exchanges. Over time, some proved to be worth the effort and others were not so effective. One of the best ones so far has been ClickPirate . I've gotten a steady stream from them. I also like Traffic Swarm , the traffic is more targeted since users get to pick which site they want to view. I dropped Traffic Soldiers and Top Surfer because neither one of them sent many hits my way. And Top Surfer bombards your inbox with emails from its members. Any recommendations for good traffic exchanges?

Building traffic and getting paid - Sweet!

One of the free ways to build traffic for your website is to post to forums and place a link in your signature file. I've been testing this out in a forum I recently joined and I can tell you that it works. Hits to my site have increased steadily and about 50% have come from this forum. The added bonus is, I get paid to post! It's not much, I've made about a buck over there but considering I'm promoting my website and getting paid to do so, it's all good, lol. If you want to check it out, follow this link . BTW, if your blog is about making money, get it listed on my site Guide to Internet Income .
