How to Center your page in HTML

Posted in Websites on February 1st, 2007 by Jason – Be the first to comment

There may be several ways that you can center a page using html, this is only one way that works for me. First things first, when you declare your page, it needs to be something like this:

Important, this text has to be placed inside a container, the bigger than less than symbols.
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”

Then you can create a large table with the height set to 100% and center the content vertically, and that should get you up and running. From there you can nest a second table with your website content so that when the browser window is resized, it will always be in the center of the screen. One example of this technique is used on brookereeves.com, a website I made for a photography business in Las Vegas.

New Horizons

Yesterday was my last official day at the Law Firm where I was working. As of today, I am now a web-developer… in training. But I am now working for LifeBoat creative, formerly J2 Design Solutions. This is something that I have been looking forward to with a lot of anticipation. I was able to work on two different projects today, doing some simple updates, but it was a lot of fun. Its the first time I feel like I am stepping into a job that could easily be a career for me. I’m still just a kid in the field, in terms of my knowledge, but it will be an awesome learning experience for me with a high learning curve.

The good news is that I will be able to get a lot of work experience and learn a lot of what I have been wanting to learn but haven’t had time to learn, and get paid for it. So I will post some of the jobs that I do from work. The bad news is, I will have to back off on my freelance work. I will still finish up Kansas Water Technologies, but from then I will stick with sites just for friends and family. But I have a lot of personal projects that I will be able to get done.

Even though I wont be able to actively pursue my freelance work, for those who want professional work, I now have the resources of a company, and can refer clients to Lifeboat creative where I work. If your interested then visit our site.

Scholarship Money!

Posted in Ramblings on February 1st, 2007 by Jason – Be the first to comment

This week is ending on a very good note. I have been waiting for a while to see if my college had received my fasfa scholarship application. About two weeks ago I made an update to my application when I registered for a different college, but my new college continued to say they hadn’t received my application. After some investigation the past few days, I found out that they never added on the new school. Well today I finally got an official notice that my application is being sent to my new school so that I can receive my financial aid. This is a very good thing, seeing as I paid for this semester up front.

Although I have not received word on how much I will receive from that, I did find out just a few minutes ago that I was accepted for a transfer scholarship for $1000. So that will help.
