They are very simple once you know how to use em! they are for your public page just so you know.
Here is how to use them:
1. I will put this special computer code up here for you, and you just copy it, (it can be a rabbit and then a scroll bar with stuff about your farm, a goat with a scroll bar with stuff about your farm, and more other kinds of animals, once I put the special form up it'll tell ya more).
2. Go to your Farm House, and click edit farm.
3. There will be a little box that says long description, all you have to do is paste everything in there and click save.
4. After you click save go ahead and go to your farm, and click "View My Public Page" and when you look you'll see everything that you wanted!

She never said she took it. SHe just said she used it, as in she downloaded it off the sight that creates them. It's just like downloading a game, only you put this on your page. Smile

mmhm, I know..
But of she copy-pasted the codes and rearranged them, it can sometimes present a problem.
I just want to make sure nobody gets punished.
I know her intentions were good ;]

Daisy, the layout on your page doesn't seem to be displaying well. Perhaps so you have a good example of your skills you could modify the one you have so that it displays properly. This way people will know for sure that it's your skills they're paying for, and not someone else's.

I'm not sure how it's displaying when you see it, but when I look at it the image is doubled up, and the scrollbox doesn't display at all. The table size is also incorrect for the image, and the links only display as text, rather than actual links. Basic alignment could also be improved, but that's more of a design improvement, rather than something necessary to get it to display properly.

Also, Andi is quite right in pointing out that the copyright laws that apply to code are no different to those that apply to, say, images. You either have to create it from scratch yourself, or only use those whose creator has specifically stated it's ok to use and modify it in the manner in which you intend to. And of course you have to reference the original creator, even if it's only a comment in the code, rather than text that displays on the page.

So for example, if you got someone else's layout, put a different image in, changed the colour scheme, and altered the table dimensions, it would still count as using their code even though the resulting page would not look anything like the original.

You can also only use images on your website that you have created yourself or whose creators have specified the image may be used in such a manner. All the usual rules apply to such images.

Hope this clarifies a few of the dos and don'ts of coding.

Thanx guys, but the one on my public page isnt by me, it's from a website made for players on any orbis site, to use for free, you can look at my page and go to the website, I read all the stuff. and I'm still working on a layout, I've been busy lately so it usually will take only a few days at the most.
