I Googled for a WYSIWYG CSS editor and found [url]http://www.skybound.ca/[/url] which offers a functional free trial. I've already used it to increase the font size of the activity feed and walls and "uncrowd" the header at [url]http://www.strengthscene.com[/url] without really knowing what I'm doing.

Of course, make a copy/backup of your CSS files before making modifications.

Your site is quite good 'http://www.strengthscene.com'
How were you able to create the adverty links at the right side of the web page? Do you have the script for it? I will appreciate it if can direct me on how to achieve it.

Thanks!

In the Admin area, go to Themes and you will see "manage blocks" for whichever theme is active.

Just copy and past in the HTML of whatever you want to go there. Be sure to have the images already saved/uploaded in the dimensions that you want to use. I'm going to edit mine to all be 125 x 75 for a more uniform look and to fit in more advertisers.

Ur welcome.

I am afraid I am not good in php. I tried copying an ordinary jpeg image from my C drive but couldnt paste. How do I relate the image and its size to HTML? Can you please give me a step by step guidance?

Tks

Aha! This is where the basic HTML comes in.

You can't hotlink images or documents from your hard drive to the website because they have to be on a server. You can just FTP your finished images to your host server then create the tags from there.

Sure, it can be a bit tedious, but worth it for customization and monetization of your site.

Thanks bmfsports
it worked.

The only problem I had was how to make the Ad appear on all pages as the Ad only appeared on the home page?
DO you have any idea?

Tks.

It may have to do with the theme used. I use Blue theme for my site because I've noticed that Facebook won't show the ads on all pages, but does give you 3 places to put ads.

I'm sorry, but that's about the extent of my knowledge for now.
