Simple CSS Style

The HTML basic framework is completed, let's add some basic cascaded style sheet (CSS) to a better presentation of our website. The id #nav_container { } is use for menu style, to control the list type style. The id #nav_container li { } is use to stack the menu in horizontal using the display inline-block. The id #nav_container li a { } is use to style of your menu links. The class .left_column { } is use to style your website left column. The class .right_column { } is use to style your website right column. Sample Cascaded Style Sheet (CSS) #nav_container { list-style-type: none; background: grey; margin-bottom: 15px; } #nav_container li { display: inline-block; } #nav_container li a { display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; padding: 5px; color: white; } #nav_container li a:hover { color: black; } .left_column { margin-right:170px; } .right_column { float:right; width:160px;

Basic foundation of a website

Here's what I've learned from Codecademy.com on how to create your website with basic foundation. First, create your html basic framework using html, head, and body tags. Second, add your logo image using img tag. Third, create your navigation for your website menu e.g. Home, Products, Services and Contact Us. Fourth, create your website layout using div tag with id name main_content. Create two more div's inside your main_content, with a class name left_column, and right_column. See sample codes below. Before you continue adding more html codes, check your navigation menu. You may add a new link e.g. Our Company, Locations, News and Events. But I will let you decide for your website. Sample HTML Framework for a website: <html> <head><link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" /></head> <body> <img id="logo" src="http://codecademy.com/assets/codecademy_logo_small.png" \> <ul

I'm not sure if this is a real issue to be concern, but this is the first service unavailable message I received from Microsoft online portal since 2010. The online portal displayed a dead image link when I tried to reload the page, then later on I was able to login to my account. As of now, the service is back online.

Google acquired Postini email security services years ago, and now it is integrated with Google Apps service. If you configured your domain name using Google Apps services in the past using Postini, you need to update your domain name MX records. Using Postini service, you configured your domain name MX record something like this.
