CSS Help Organizing Page

First, I apologizing making this harder than what it should be, because: I don't have my website live yet and this is something anyone using CSS should be able to do!

Anyhow, I'll try to explain this the best that I can. On one of my gallery links pages, I have the subject (in this case sports, so for football it would be a square picture of a football picture) and below it are the links to the individual games (FWIW, I have four sports per row). Anyhow, currently, using CSS I have each thumbnail and link with its own podunk CSS ID/class and cannot for the love of all things sacred get a div box for each sports and its thumbnail and links to go inside without it going all hayhire on me. If anyone can decipher this and can help being able to simplify this, that would be great.

I'll leave it as that for now, for the sake of keeping it short. Thanks for any help.

well being able to see the site or code would help a great deal.
do you not have hosting or a domain yet?
if you show some code i may be able to help.

I think I understand what your trying to do. Take a look at this: http://www.thebackcoun​try.org/trailhead.php. This is from my backpacking website. If that's close, then I can customize it a bit to fit your site. You can send me the page file and the CSS file and I'll take a look.

I haven't gone about getting the host and domain yet, because my site is slightly time consuming to build. So, instead of getting the domain now (even though that may hurt with SEOs), I've been putting if off.

Yes! Exactly (except, I have hyperlink below the pictures)!

Feel free to use the source code. I think I found the model at http://www.w3schools.c​om/css/css_image_galle​ry.asp years ago.

Thank you! I'll check that out tomorrow (I don't have the patience at this hour for that undertaking).

Did you have any background in web development, or did you teach yourself and learn as you go, like yours truly?

Self-taught. I know just enough to be dangerous! I started with FrontPage 2000 and finally decided to ditch that and learn how to code CSS using Notepad++. I did my website, but I have a friend that knows PHP/MySQL, so he helped me with that.

PM me if you need help w/ the web design/seo etc.. If you'd like you can host with me for cheap. I have a reseller account. To make things easy go with wordpress + a theme then use gallery2 but that's on you.

Ah, good to know someone else here has the gumption and grit to learn this stuff! I find it very fun and creative, although right now I'm trying more to do something that's easy to do, than something that's difficult and creative. I use Dreamweaver, which I really like, but rarely ever use the WYSIWYG part of it. I haven't done anything dynamically yet, but I want a wordpress blog, so I'll have to learn then. Hopefully some business school will find this impressive in a few years....

I like the challenge. It's also frustrating at times, but when I finally figure out something, it's like "YES"! What's next!

Good luck with it and can't wait to see it when it's done!
