hi all

so i have kind of an annoying problem.
ive made an webpage layoout in photoshop. ive made "boxes" i want to put my content in. i have sliced it and got it in to dreamweaver.
im gonna use the page for bloging and stuff so i would like go have an text field where i can edit text and then post it to the site. but the problem is that everytime i try to insert ext fileds etc, it dosent place correctly and its white and not big enough at all.... ill show you a screenshot to explain..

this will be the im1g.jpeg attachment

so yeah... u see the 3 "boxes", in the big one i want to be able to add text and since its not so big, i want to have a scroll bar in it. the two small ones are boxes i wud like to use for index or something (havent really figured out what i wanna have on the site yet)
ok... now i will show u what happens when i try to add the text area to the page.

this is the file called broken.png


yeah... so u are all able to see that this is not what i wanted to happen......
i want the textfield to be where the grey"box"is ... but it wont let me... also it gets all white... it wuld be nice to get it to have the color the grey box have
so help would be great

and btw, i dont have knowlege in html and css coding, so if u could explain it so i dont have to do coding in text, but only visual, it would be nice. yea im a naab...

thanks in advance

Have you thought about finding a nice looking wordpress theme you like and going that route? It's much less frustrating and all the work is done for you.

was thinking about making it a bit more personal ... and also its more like an project i have started to have something to do its fun

I would personally try to get away from photoshops code, it's messy and if i remember correctly done in tables.

IMO your better off creating a header then doing html/css

The layout you have could be easily re created.

and i would agree with the above comments.

If your going to be adding lots of post using a CMS like wordpress would be far easier.
