Hi You are now on the homepage of WOTLK Private Server named “WOTLK Private Sever” Darien Lawrence Eros’s! Please feel free to go on to our forums or Photo Gallery, or if you’re not a member of our server please sign up. This server is a start from scratch c# scripted in Unity Core.Please for info more info visit INFOMATION.

I Would also like to ask you to click on any of the google ads on the sides. Also tell your friends on the public servers (if you own a proper wow account) about this Server!. I am very new to html programing so this page is rather short but i am in the process of getting better thank you.

Answer #1

You can’t post HTML code on the boards - it will hide all the tags. Try pasting it in here and then sending us a screenshot so we can see it: http://funadvice.com/r/bkelgh46ejj

Answer #2

The backgroudn wont show up ;(

Answer #3

woops

Answer #4

HERE it is!

Answer #5

Are you using a template for this site?

Answer #6

You have that second body tag there, which I would guess is over writing the first one. You don’t need it there. All you need is at the end of your body section is (remove the spaces :P)

Answer #7

well i guess not even angle brackets show up on there :P.

But yah you should only have one open body tag at the start of your body section and a close one at the end.

Answer #8

Also as a tip I would get rid of the absolute address for the background image, as once you upload those to your web server everything will have to be changed.
I would use relatives paths. So if your webpage is stored in that WOTLKescapades folder you would only need to put /backgrounds/Homepage.jpg

Answer #9

Wait you would just need “backgrounds/Homepage.jpg” dont need the leading /
