Rp Tutorials

i've been cursing webs all evening, looking for a new place to host code, and i think i have a new option so i thought i'd share. if someone has a better solution please let me know, but i wasn't seeing similar requests for help solved.

basically, a tumblr account has "pages" you can code on, like with webs or scribbld. if you have a tumblr, you sometimes see them linked as people's "about me" pages, such as username.tumblr.com/about

you can do custom code on these pages (and make more than one) there are just more steps to getting there.

1) get a tumblr account. make a blank new blog with a boring username, people looking at your pages will see this username.

2) go to tumblr.com/settings

3) click the grey button that says EDIT THEME

4) you'll see a left panel of options, and on the right a large panel preview of your blog. on the left panel, scroll to the very bottom. click the option + ADD A PAGE

5) you'll see on the left it says username.tumblr.com/url - enter the url to use in the link to your page, such as "biography". (note: you have to do this step to do step 6)

6) change the dropdown from "standard layout" to "custom layout"

7) in the now clear black area on the left, post code as you would in webs.

8) green button "update preview" will show you a preview of your page on the right, and the save button... saves! don't forget to do that.

if this is a good option, i can make a post of clearer directions / a walk-through with pictures. but again, if there's something other than webs or scribbld to post html code for bios, etc, please let me know. thanks!

i've been finding that i can't add anything to new, "downgraded" webs pages even on an account i've had for 5 years. i emailed them about the error message i keep getting and this was their reply:

Thanks for your reply.
I have checked your account and found that you have a Free Webs site.
Sadly, we have made the decision to only allow Premium members the ability to use the 'Custom HTML' module.
If you have already added HTML codes to your site, those will remain. However, you will not have the ability to add new HTML coding to your site without upgrading to Premium Services.
I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and regret that you did not receive proper notification of this change.

webs users can keep using their old sites/accounts but you can't add any new usernames to them anymore unless you pay per month. i'll let you guys know if the woman responds back to my less than polite rant about how i feel about that.

guys. i'm html challenged. :/ is there anyone that can help me make a fancy, and pretty journal like everyone else's? i love the tables at the top and i can't figure out how to do them!! it's frustrating me. lol

... I'm a man of wealth and taste.

ok so this might be a ridiculously stupid question but i cant seem to figure it out. I have the code to insert a background in my entries but for whatever reason the entry boxes are transparent and I cant figure out what part of the code is causing that.can someone help me figure out what I should be looking for in the code to change that? I have already removed the colors in the look and feel section but still nothing.

So I keep kicking myself because I can never remember this, but does anyone remember how to do the hover text over regular text?

A fellow RP buddy, themplusme, was in need of an easy-to-edit-later cast table. Seeing that the old floating table is either dead or disappeared, I went and made a new one for her to use and thought other RPers would find it useful. Included are variations in size and uses:

so i'm trying to make a style on webs instead of scribbld, but i can't figure out how to embed google fonts. any help?

I've been sitting on this a while and finally decided to post it. It's based on an app template I made for a game I ran and has a matching post template that will be forthcoming. Click the image above for live preview & info.

can anyone help me out? i've royally screwed up some coding here. the border image isn't showing up for the background info and facts, and i can't get the background info table any larger so there isn't that weird gap between everything. any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm still new at all of this html stuff.

I messed something up in some coding here. Help? I can't for the life of me find what I did wrong.

Hey guys! So, normally, I send people to DRAAC to live-test their HTML and div styled codes but, recently, they've added, uh.

( This really ugly sidebar. )

And, idk about you guys, but for me it's super distracting. I was getting a bit sick of all the text on the page anyway, so here you go. A new code tester based on their code (because I'm lazy lmao), with a clean, un-distracting page layout.

Just like DRAAC's, my code tester is good for HTML codes, div styled codes, and full HTML/CSS pages (but not CSS alone). Oh and, even after previewing, CTRL+Z still works, which is always a big bonus for me.
