You did say you would be "cleaning up the code" later. I think you may know that Word is a horrible web editor, but for some indication:Current Word to html translation:
<p style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif; font-weight:
bold; font-style: italic; text-align: center;" class="p1"><font
style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" size="+3">The
extraordinary adventures of a most loyal "Billy-Goat" Wagon!</font><br>
</p>
Normal html would use one of the Headline tags; h1, h2, h3, h4, h5. That will take care of the inline css which will be much simpler to edit later on, of course. Since this is the main title of the site, I'd suggest using:
<h1 text-align: center;>The extraordinary adventures of a most loyal "Billy-Goat" Wagon!</h1>
If you really want italics, you can also add "font-style: italic;". "h1 will automagically take care of "font-weight" and "size". "font-family" is used twice and your readers may want to use whatever their browser uses, anyway. "<font... >...</font>" and "<br>" are simply redundant.
You get the idea...
Noticed lots of:
<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
Why? " " works just fine. It's simply inserting a non-breaking space, assuming that's what you really want.
Word
does seem to define a very few css classes for paragraphs, but they may not be what you really want. And who knows what rules/style they are actually based on?
You don't even need any kind of specialized editor, html (and even css) is nothing more than plain text which can be generated by TextEdit. However,
BBEdit[/b] can now be used in free mode.
BBEdit will make it much easier to see what is html or actual content. It will also make it very easy to use 'real' and correct quotation (single or double) marks and apostrophes and lots of other professional 'printing' characters... all for the same price;
FREE! I also suggest breaking the site in to sections based on what you probably already have in an outline. Currently, the "page" is extremely long, requiring quite a lot of vertical scrolling. Why not use your current outline (of major events for the Buick) as a different page. That way folks can pick and choose what parts might be most interesting to them. They would not have to guess at what might be where, if at all.
You've got a lot to work with and I'm sure lots of automobile enthusiasts will enjoy your travails as well as you successes!
Lastly, although this may not be a continuing topic, it might be handy to have it as a separate thread. I know the name of a great forum Admin who can handle that task...
