web design dilemma, perchance?

[Jau_Peacecraft]

Alright, i need some advice on a possible web layout (or course of action) with my website: http://p0ppych0p.com. I re-vamped it to a what I hope is a better layout (the old layout can be found here:http://p0ppych0p.com/main.html), but the layout now looks more like for promo purposes. I need help deciding which would be the best to do:

+ Keep current layout as HTML, or keep the layout and use major CSS instead.

+ Keep the current layout as HTML and use tables and minor CSS.

+ Use one of these concept layouts:

http://p0ppych0p.com/layouts/layout_1.html
http://p0ppych0p.com/layouts/layout_2.html

+ Use a different one altogether [insert suggested layout]

Btw I used two diff CSS generators for the proposed layouts. Normally I wouldn't, but I'm nowhere near good enough with CSS right now to write code that works both in Firefox and IE [for some reason all the crap I write works only in IE and IE is supposed to have all the problems], so I figure i could go back and write a new layout when I don't suck.


Thanks, Ive gotten some stuff ready for posting in the next few days so I wanna try procrastinate as little as possible lol.

apart from the p0ppych0p page that the site looked quite ok
nice and simple easy on the eye and sort of cute

I think font sizes maybe something to look into ,one way of incluing the size in the code only works in explorer the other way will work in both
someone else might be able to explain it better than that.



in firefox the link p0ppych0p looks like this:

yea thats mainly why Im sick of using straight up HTML, aside from how long it would take to edit each page compared to CSS. I was considering keeping the old layout and tweaking it slightly so it integrated with the index page a little more and keeping that design specific to that part but I'm not so sure...

I really don't feel like doing tables, i've had nightmares in the past, but maybe they wouldn't so hard if i gave another chance. Then again it wouldn't be very intelligent from a semantic HTML point to use tables to design the site instead of simply displaying data.


btw nice desktop, what distro you running ?

hmm, i think i know what im gonna do layout wise, Im now wondering if anyone knows how penny arcade manages to make their comic page. Like if they use specific code when you click "next" "prev" etc.

more or less scratch my last post, i think i found a way to that, but now ive got another problem to be solved:

i finally finished an important piece of it done [meaning no further changes], except that Im not doing something right with the [little] CSS code that i know how to use. heres a link:

For some reason there's theres this huge width of un-needed space as indicated by the width scrollbar, at least in firefox; in IE there's no problem. Was wondering / hoping anyone could help me out on how to fix that. Thanks. Btw there's supposed to two links underneath the centered image on opposite sides of one another.
