I have made my own portfolio website, using CSS. It all looks nice, apart from I dont really know how to display the portfolio samples properly, via CSS. When I look at others, they have things such as when you click the thumbnail, it like opens up as a little pop-up, with a black border and a close button, get what i mean? How do I go about this? Does anyone have a link to an online tutorial on how to do this? Thanks
It sounds like you're after a lightbox - you will need a little JS knowledge but there are good tutorials on how to use this on your site. Check out this link: iaian7 » code » webcode » mediaboxadvanced Good luck!
There are tons of free lightbox scripts out there, one of the most popular right now is prettyPhoto which I can say is extremely easy to get working. It goes over some simple instructions in the FAQ section too.
