Configuring your Opus home page is fuhn!

November 9, 2006

Just been playing around with the editable Opus home page functionality, its good times. You can pretty much do anything graphically you want now and really make your page the way you want. Think of the possibilities for bands, they could totally style their home page with the band colours and photos etc. I'm really excited to see what people create.

Anyways, if anyone has questions on how to write some of the HTML/CSS just fire me off a private message or reply to this blog post.

Check out a couple that I created:

Heya Ross, thanks for the plug!
here's a couple for ya....

and how do you guys manage to put an url in the text of something?
like in my bio, I want SOL 3 to link to their home page.

And while I'm at it, how can I change the boxes to all be just slightly opaque instead of solid white?

And is there a way to change the font colour?

make a link

Here is how you link to something outside (at least, this is how i do it).

Hey go to the Sol3 myspace page.

is actually...

Hey go to the a href="http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada" Sol3 /a myspace page.

Don't forget to put the < before the a href, and > after the solc3canada". That's the link. The /a (also in < > brackets, but I can't show that here) is placed after the words you want to make link - Sol3 in this case.

Good luck.

Here is the code:

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada" title="Visit Sol3 on MySpace">Sol3 </a>

I added the title tag in there as well. that way when someone rolls over the link they get more details describing what it is

thanks

I've got it going on, baby!

it does make me curious to see if we could have some sort of "storage box" for little bits of code like this?

This one I'm not sure if its possible... yet. The boxes are controlled within the core of the Project Opus code and cannot be controlled by the user as far as I know. Ill check in with the boys here @ PO and see whats up. Ill post back here when I find out.
