~~I made a website that displays an image as large as possible. You don’t need most of my code (omit any
script
) but use one of theimg
s and itsstyle
. Change itssrc
to your image’s relative or absolute URL.~~~~If you want to center the image horizontally, that's easy: add
display: block; margin: auto
into itsstyle
. For vertical centering that works across devices, you'd need to put it in aflexbox
– I can do that for you in 3 minutes.~~~~You can host the thing on GitHub by deploying to GitHub Pages like I do. Feel free to just fork the repo, I’ll help.~~
Edit: Finished. Source / Preview. It's so simple it should work perfectly in any browser of the past 10 years, or basically any browser ever if the centering and background color is not important.
Easy, free way to put it online (no selfhosting but high reliability):
index.html
. (It’s public domain.)readme
creation.index.html
file as the image’ssrc
.title
andbackground-color
fromnavy
to any other: use HTML named colors or hex#rrggbb
.index.html
in the repo, with this source code.main
.main
branch. Check that your site is now live at yourGithubUsername.github.io/ChristmasMessage/.?a
, orindex.html
with the new URL.index.html
where you can commit changes without them being visible publicly.You can use the open source alternative, GitLab, too. But why not load Microsoft’s servers a little more?
