Help please. I'm so new to all this. I'm trying to do my own website using the example of Smells Like Bakin. I've got to the grid section and Nick says used Gridulator but when I go on this website and put in 1000px and 12 columns I can't seem to find a way to get the code up. How do you do it?

512 PointsOh I see, thank you. Will they give me the code then? Think I'm probably trying to run before I can walk and should just watch the videos first rather than try and do my own at the same time.

Example, simple two sidebars and a main content section. You could have 2 classes of 25% and 50% width with no margin. Assign the sidebars 1 and the main content 2 all floated left and you'll be left with sidebar(25% wide) content 50% and your last sidebar.
I hope that helps a bit. Don't think my explanation is great.

Took me also a few moments to figure that out.
Hope that helps, have fun,

512 PointsThanks. On the right side of where though? I just want to basically copy exactly what they're doing in the tutorial rather than write my own code, i'm only changing text copy and photos. It is fun!
