Okay I'm having a CSS problem with my site, I have a bar with links in "block", at the moment the blocks are aligned on the left. How do I go about centering them in the middle?

Thanks in advanced :)


#block {
float:left;
clear:both;
background-color: #DEDECE;
width: 768px;
height:26px;
border-left: #A5A5A5 solid 1px;
border-right: #A5A5A5 solid 1px;
border-bottom: #A5A5A5 solid 1px;
}

#block a {
text-align: center;
width: 90px;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 26px;
display: block;
float: left;
}

#block a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

#block span {
float: left;
line-height: 25px;
}

The subdomain names would be important for my site so I'd need to go to for a host that offered them.

Oh and going back to what Hmmm and Garin said. I actually thought my host was based in the UK originally. But like their call centre in India I guess everything is outside the UK now :(

Their layout is very confusing, they keep wanting me to change providers except here where it says "However, if you are on another ISP connection, our Web and E-mail Freedom services are designed for you."

And then there's no link where I can read about this £4 a month charge.

Am I looking in the wrong section? :S

And if Freeola don't have subdomains then I'm going to have to transfer my domain to another host now :( nuts I just spent a lot of money. Well to me it's a lot of money as I currently earn £0. Ah well my own fault for not paying more attention.

Did you get your <table> CSS code to work?

I couldn't see anything except a static barcode image, so I expect Hmmm... is right about it using Flash, which I know nothing about I'm afraid.

I think there is nothing wrong with using JavaScript or CSS for making certain effects or actions on your web site, so long as they don't break the web site if JavaScript and / or CSS is disabled. If you can turn of JavaScript, and the web page still works (albiet in a different way) then that's fine.

Are you a Freeola dial-up or Broadband customer? If so, then yes, you're good to go.

If not, you'll either have to set-up a dial-up account with them (as you are required to connect via their dial-up number to upload content to your web space), transfer to Freeola for your broadband or sign up for the Freeola Web freedom package.

Also (I could be wrong on this) I don't believe Freeola offer the use of sub-domains.

Not done the anime one yet. :)

Now that I have bought a domain name off them I can use their free hosting right?

I'm preparing my newsletter/ezine at the moment. It's a good way to keep in touch with people who have visited my website. My girlfriend has done one herself and managed to get 1,000 subscribers. Her website was about Scrapbooking. I'll be hoping for atleast 10,000 subscribing. Oh dear, that's a lot of emails. I hope dont use up too much bandwidth. It'll just be a monthly thing but it'll still be full of useful information.

I see the co.uk version of myanimeguide is still available. Did you re-consider and go for something more appropriate?


Or did I miss something...
