Where Can I upload these images?

There are multiple sites you could use. My favourite (they don't limit bandwidth or require an account) is http://www.imageshack.us

Somthing I want isn't on here.

I'm looking as are others. Just post about things you find here so we can create some form of knowledgebase.

My image only displays once and then just a blank Colour, why?

A. This is because the repeat tag hasn't been added after the image. Lets take this case, for example:

            .playbar{
                background:url(*IMAGEURLHERE*) repeat 0px 0px;
            }

Because the url is followed by /repeat/ it will copy in ALL directions. If we changed this to /repeat-x/ then it will only repeat along the horizontal (<--->) axis, and only across the y axis if we change it to /repeat-y/. If you want it to loop then change it from /no-repeat/ to one of the above.

What is a colour hex value and how do I get one?

From Wikipedia:

A hex triplet is a six-digit, three-byte hexadecimal number used in HTML, CSS, SVG, and other computing applications, to represent colors. The bytes represent the red, green and blue components of the color. One byte represents a number in the range 00 to FF (in hexadecimal notation), or 0 to 255 in decimal notation. This represents the least (0) to the most (255) intensity of each of the color components. The hex triplet is formed by concatenating three bytes in hexadecimal notation, in the following order: Byte 1: red value (color type red) Byte 2: green value (color type green) Byte 3: blue value (color type blue)

To find a hex for your CSS click here

and copy the 6-digit code from the coloured square you want.

Remember: IN CSS HEX CODES MUST HAVE "#" BEFORE THEM!

Somthing is not positioned the way I want it, how can I fix this?

You can use top, left, right, bottom. For example, if your nonoba logo is too high on the page, adding:

            top:12px;
            

on the line above

            background:url...
            

will move it down 12 pixels. Left is distance from the left and right and bottom are hopefully obvious from there.

Somthing Else?
