I have taken a lot of advice and borrowed code and templates from old internet legend sadgrl.online
w3 Schools has been my personal best resource for finding code. their explainations are easy to understand and they provide strings of code for everything, as well as showing how to fit the code together. this is how i have been able to learn html and code from scratch.
The template for my home page is the jjba7 layout by cinni.net. although by now I have customized the code quit a bit.
}
.image1{
width: insertpx;
margin: insertpx;
margin-insert right, left, top, bottom: insertpx;
padding: insertpx;
border: insertpx solid #insert;
float: insert;
}
this is a floating image element that can be positioned in any way. you can position this image by changing the margin. for example if i do margin-right: 200px; it will be 200 pixels away from the right side of the page. increase the number to make it farther and decrease to make closer. you can use positive and negative numbers and can position from the right or left and top or bottom of the page. in order for this element to not interfere with the position of other elements, set your other elements to position: absolute;.
