Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Woppet* - 10-11-2010

I've been trying, to add a 780x150 header image to my blog on Tumblr.
But i literally have no clue how to do it.
I can edit the pages the html code, but it's all gibberish to me

This is the code for the theme

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

    <meta name="text:Flickr Username" content=""/>

And here's a link to what it looks like:
http://woppet.tumblr.com/

I want the image right at the top of the page.

Can anyone tell me how i go about doing this?


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Nindo - 10-11-2010

I'm assuming you want the header image left aligned? If you want it center or right aligned, the code will be a tiny bit different.
It's been awhile, but if I'm not mistaken all you need to do is put this line of code (I used the image in your sig as an example) just below the <body> tag:

<img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/s45ljp.jpg">



I'm not familiar with how tumblr does its layouts so that might not put the image precisely where you want. It might take a couple of tries fiddling with it, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Woppet* - 10-11-2010

Oh cool that's working, but it's too far to the left. Know how to center it?
Thankyou

I'd like to lower it a little too if that's possible?
So it isn't touching the top of the page


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Nindo - 10-11-2010

replace
<img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/s45ljp.jpg">

with

<p align="center">
</br>
<img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/s45ljp.jpg">
</p>


not sure how that will look since I myself can't test it, but that should
1. center it
2. drop it down a bit


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Woppet* - 10-11-2010

Thankyou. I fiddled with it for a while and i think i got what i wanted.
Turned out like: http://woppet.tumblr.com/

Thanks a lot bro!


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Nindo - 10-11-2010

No problem, looks good.


RE: Does anyone know how to write HTML? - Woppet* - 10-11-2010

Thankyou! Guess i can lock this now.
