I haven't actually changed any permissions right now. I'm just taking names.

Since you have brought this subject up, I have been learning how to do HTML and CSS. Actually, it seems to come quite naturally. :)

OK, I need a CSS and HTML expert the new template I want to use in 2014: Prime.


I describe here how to enable it, but NOTE: You cannot go back to the old template (that's something we need to fix).

I need a custom TLF logo at the top and some space reduction done. Any takers?

I will mess around some with a logo. Please tell me (if you know) the dimensions of the image you want for the logo. Some code requires the image size be static and others let's the browers determine how to display it.

Would you like something understated like using the Lincoln Star logo or something say using a collage of images of classic Lincolns?

We did a logo before. What happened to that? If specs have changed, post the specs and see what you might get.

I added Ken to the Graphics team and a few more to the moderator team. I added continentalguy to the Front-end team since he said he can do HTML and CSS. Hopefully, someone out there knows PHP, too.

Dan here is a program I have not tried yet but it may help you I am a novice to HTML and CSS I have done some websites though I am willing to pay for it if you want to buy it and try it, It will be a donation to the forum from me. I use a lot of their other software and it is easy to use but like I said I have not tried this one yet you also have a choice of windows or apple. It is also a 30 day free trial
