Help for the graphically challanged -...

Ok... my past efforts have looked like a bad Picasso painting complete with a mixture of surrealism and the optional cat hairball cough up.

Because of that I want to do templates. Is there a list of sites, some examples of sites built with Coffee Cup where I might grab some much needed graphical hints?

Hi John,

there are heaps of templates available through Coffee Cup at https://www.coffeecup.com/store/themes/html-editor/

Great value...especially the bundles.

This site was done based on one of the templates:
[urlhttp://www.hobartkidz.com[/url]
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

I never have figured out what the purpose of the URL tags are on forums. I don't think I've ever been on a forum yet where I had to actually use it. Anytime you type a URL it shows up as a link if you have a complete url so what's the point of the tags then? Inquiring minds wanna know :P

See, user manual. :D

When I get stumped for ideas I visit coolhomepages.com and after surfing around that for a while, I am either so depressed I vow never to touch the computer again or I get so fired up I stay up all night on my new design. I don't mean to suggest you nick other people's work, just viewing a lot of nicely made sites triggers the creative juices for me.

I've been trying to figure if it's possible to use the URL tags to enclose a name for a link, similar to the way <a>...</a> tags are used, I'm sure I saw it used this way on another forum somewhere.
But then, I couldn't figure out how to add an image to one of my posts a short while back, using the paper clip link near the Post & Preview buttons didn't work for me.
