it's crazy how far things have come
And I think this is just beginning! There are a lot of new developments coming out there ... and not just the Web world. I see crazy developments/advances in medicine, energy and whole lot more.

While you were sleeping, some banning and deleting has been going on already
Watch out spammers! The sheriff is in town and her name is Andrea!

this forum would be a huge mess of totally useless "good post" posts. That's my rant for the day.
That is a good rant!

What a strange post .. out of the blue?
:/
Hmm ... watch for spam.

I receive the error "call to a member function of a nonobject"
That would suggest that the object has NOT been created at that moment. Are you typing the code? Have you compared it to the source files?

Hi,
You should watch my video on web design vs. graphic design - it may help.
And you may want to read these articles:
http://www.killersites.com/magazine/2009/the-dubious-advantages-of-a-web-design-degree/
http://www.killersites.com/blog/2010/the-future-of-web-design-as-a-career/
PS: be very, very careful about taking on student loan debt ... it can be very dangerous financially.
I hope that helps,

Just use Wiki software (it's free) and build up your site. Later, as the website grows you will be able to modify the look and feel.

Just use php to override the #branding css rules right in the page. That is the easiest way.
Another thing you could do, is use php to generate the css file on the fly .. that is more involved thought. You could also do this with DOM scripting.

Hi,
I wanted to get some suggestions from you guys in terms of what subjects you might like to see covered in tutorials, videos or podcasts? For instance:
- more php?
- more javascript?
- deeper in css or html?
- more on Wordpress?
- basic design concepts?
- photoshop?
- any other programs: illustrator, dreamweaver, expression web, flash?
- on seo?
Let me know!

Many times, hosting companies will not allow you access to php.ini ... and for good reason.

BTW ... nothing intrinsically wrong with WYSIWYG. I have used Composer and KompoZer for years and can get good results, better the more I learn about HTML/CSS and design
I agree.
There once was a time when I was a nerd-zealot and refused to use a good code editor when writing Java. Now, if any of you have seen Java code, you'd know how complex and verbose Java can get. Anyway, for a year or two I resisted and continued to use notepad to write Java .... then one day, I got wise and started using a program dedicated to writing Java. In software development, we call these IDE's:
Integrated Development Environment
... This was the best move I could have made because my productivity jumped though the roof. Still, I needed to understand Java to take full advantage of the IDE.
A little different from web design, but the spirit of the point I think holds true.

The beauty of using CMSMS and WordPress together is that you can use the same design to have both of them look visually identical.
Well, that can be said about any layout on any blog or CMS.
That said, unless you need to support many, many users with really fine-grained rights management or you need to be able to say, define different themes per category ... I would just use Wordpress.
Come to think of it, I don't even know if CMSMS supports different themes by category. I know Drupal can.

I really think I need something else, I just hate to start all over. I wonder though if I couldn't get new hosting, and just copy and paste that html into the new one to start where I left off?
Yes you can .. easily in fact.
That said, it seems to me you need to learn some basic web design. We have two options, our video tutorial on web design and our dedicated website on basic web design.
.. Your choice.
So the first thing you should do, is load the site you have in a web browser and then go to File - > save page as ... and save the complete web page. This way, you will have a copy of what you have now.
I hope that helps,

@mindimercer,
Do you know any HTML?
:/
Stefan

Can you add the HTML code as well for the page.
Thanks,

Wordpress has a huge community and thus lots of options in terms of templates and plug-ins.
... Beyond that, the WP engine is constantly updated and has a a lot of functionality built-in. I would say go with WP so you can take advantage of that.

Thanks for the post.
It is typically a good idea to wait a little while before downloading the latest version of a program ... problem is, I keep making the same mistake over and over again!

You've seen banned for life or the same type of hidden keywords?
Shoot I got the dreaded 180 second thing again.....and again.....I'll go and make a cup of tea and forget I even wrote this
I've never had that problem. I know a guy who once had a very profitably web based business and he got shut down for black-hat SEO and subsequently went BK. Don't mess with Google!
You're still having the 180s delay? That is weird, you should be well past that.
Stefan

This is very dangerous ... if Google catches on, they could be banned for life.
... I've seen it.

Object = a class that has been instantiated/created.
Class = a blueprint for an object.
Instance = is an object that has been instantiated.
Context = the immediate environment in which an object resides.
Does any of the above make sense?

I don't think you can overlay anything on top of a Flash movie.
... You ought to do this in Flash.

All you need to do is:
1. assign the text you want displayed to a variable - this will be spit out by a function that does the final calculations.
2. once you have that variable, use simple DOM scriptiing to target a div and then insert that value with the innerHTML property.

Xara
in Business of Web Design
Posted
Xara is really a drawing program like Illustrator and they have added in web design capability. I've been using Xara since it was Corel Xara back in the late 90's!
It's the best drawing program there is, but web design ... ? I would only use it for very, very simple projects and prototyping.
