New feature:
For all you Bloggers - blogspot - I have created the CSS which can be copied and pasted into the TEMPLATE->EDIT HTML in the CSS section. This way, you only need to copy the BLOG-HTML when posting a hand. The auction will also be implemented shortly.

Can you translate this into English please?

Of course!

Html is just a markup language - it specifies the structure and somewhat the layout of the data you want to present. You may edit the graphical apperance by adding some parameteres into the "style" option. Example: If you want to write the symbol of hearts, and make it red, you wrap the heart symbol, "&hearts;", into a span tag like this: <span style="color:red">&hearts;</span>

(unimportant)
Now - all this "red" and "blue" and height, width, font, spacing etc, are normally placed outside the html-document - more specific into a layout document, which is called CSS - cascade styling sheet. Here you may specify how you want your web page to be view and presented. Example here would be that a normal online-newspaper would have different CSS for two medium: internet browser, and a mobil-browser. Two different css-files handles this.

Now - back to your question. Blogger's got a feature where you can change the "look" of your blog. This I believe you have testet. The data however, stays the same, but presented somewhat differently. Further more, you may change and edit this look exactly to your liking. This is done by editing the CSS-template.

Go to your DASHBOARD - goto - LAYOUT (or post etc) - Then select TEMPLATE ->goto EDIT HTML. In this textbox, you may edit or append information! If you add the CSS definition ( only once! ), you only need to copy a small part of HTML code vs the huge load of html code with styling, that you have been doing. This also gives you room to manipulate and edit the layout to your own liking (do not do this if you don't know what you are doing! ).

The CSS is copied from the Template generator ( Blogger-CSS-template ) and pasted into Blogger. This needs to be placed at the correct place, or else it may have serious consequences! If not sure how - don't. I might make a Tutorial for doing this sometime this weekend.

Just tested the HTML code, and when I publish it, the background color of the table (not the hands) is white. This is really ugly if the rest of my blog is light blue, and when the table itself isn't centered in that white square as well

I'm using it at http://thebeercard.blogspot.com/.

Having put the CSS into my template and generating a hand, I put the blogger HTML into my post.

However I do have a problem. I am now unable to edit the post! When I try to edit the post, the source shows briefly and then everything is cleared There is no text or html visible to edit.

Hi all - I will try to help all! Please send me your problems on email or pm, so I can handle each request.

I really hope you find the template usefull!

The background color has been updated. This also includes the picture background, which is now drawn realtime. So, note that the pictures have changed a little.

The iframe-solution also works with this - but you need to update the iframe with the attribute <iframe allowTransparency="true" ... >. This is updated in the Template Generator. For those who have copied html, you probably do best by regenerate the html.

Also added the option of choosing if you want the top-left info with dealer, vul and lead. Maybe I'll add a header option later, where you might write Board, pairs etc...

Any questions?

Large update - fontsize in deals added (11-12-13px).

Contact me if you need help - or simple to say it works!

[paulg]

Can you add a comment with the date or version number to the CSS so we know when it's been modified?

Nice job,

Paul

sure thing.

Also - you may change the CSS to your own liking if you are familiar with CSS and html.

Be aware that 11px is the deault fontsize for the CSS. If you like it to be 12 you will have to change the CSS - setting it to 12px in the Template, does not change the CSS in your blogger template.

Nice job.

One remark: on your deal generator page, you have a typo. There's 2 times "WE" for visible seats. And you're missing some (you can have: all, NS, EW, NE, SE, SW, NW).

Would it be of interest showing only one hand also?

I would think a feature to post only 1 hand would be useful.

Also, maybe you could add an option to add the form of scoring as well, so we could indicate if it was IMPs or MPs. But not really that vital I guess.

I may add this option - should this be displayed in the "Info" left corner?

You also have the option of adding this info as text in the Header.

Added 1 hand view.
Added the possibility to change the graphic in center: size of font and "tone" it down so it is not so black... check it out!

Lol, I toyed a bit on my blog and it looks different in IE and Firefox. On IE it's nicely centered but there's no border, in FF it's not centered but it gets it's border... Why can't they all show the same thing???
