Is there a way to have a website automatically display text from another website? Like if I wanted to display text from my Journal on my personal page? Can I do that?

Yeah, but you must pass the Ordeal of Three first. It's a big hassle.

That's Iulius Kaesar.

A little like Deth's name, but not so much that it'd be easy to confuse.

You can display the entire page or use something like php to grab a snippit.

Iulius's is an image.

It would probably be something in the order of a document.write in a <script> tag.

My name looks like Deth? hehe

Anyway, there are a number of ways you can do it. For what you're talking about, the easiest way would be to make a frames page, where one of your frames gets its src from your journal page. The drawback is that you don't have control over how much content you get.

To give you more control you could use your favorite script language to download the html as a string and manipulate it from there. You'd have to identify what tags are responsible for making the journal headings so you could count through them and only display the last couple. There are probably pre-built scanners to do this.

I'll post my Java servlet for fetching pages (when I've got more time) if you want.

Ok, here's my page thus far.

I got some inspiration from PA as far as some of the layout is concerned, but what I want to do is align all of the buttons to navigate the site in that teal area to the right.

How can I align the buttons over there without messing with anything else? Another table? and if so, how do I set the table to stay over there?

Your webspace provider might not even support scripting...
