When I click on the contact link at the bottom of the page I am getting a 404 page not found error, it is trying to go to the follwoing page: http://www.ethsdrama.com/public/contact.php

@joecool - thanks for catching that. I got the issue fixed.

It works and looks beautiful now...

Ahh okay then, thats very nice of you! Must of taken ages, there are a lot of slideshows etc in there, and it looks to perfection!

Thankfully a lot of the dynamic elements in the site are handled by the CMS or are set up by templates, so once I got one set up, the rest were relatively easy to do. But yes... this site was in the works on and off for quite a while.

Wonderful job. Site is beautiful.

Congrats Ben!

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Unfortunately not. KillerSites doesn't offer any at the moment.

http://www.icms.info/ seems decent (article based, rather than video based though), but other than that, you'd need to do some searching.

(If you bug Stefan about it, maybe he'll ask me to do a couple videos on it?)

Hehe cool...!

i'll gine it a try

Everything seems good so far... we'lll see in a couple months. The once concern I had involved degradation in performance over time, but according to (independent) tests I looked at line, this particular SSD has reduced problems with that. We'll see...

The other drawback is that the SSD comes at a hefty price compared to HDD.

Well, yeah. They have dropped significantly in price though (though they are still relatively expensive) and should become more affordable at time passes and technology improves.

The main site is built in Light CMS, and Light is coming out with ecommerce features early next month, so I'm holding off an making any decisions until I see what they offer.

Choosing an ecommerce cms is hard. I'm still in search. When you done with this make a post. Thanks!!

Will do.

Thanks! I'm hoping it will give me more flexibility, and free up some time to work on more interesting/fun projects.

Ben I have no doubt that you will be successful. You are a wealth of knowledge.

Good luck, I will keep you in mind, the group I work with sometimes needs programming work

Well, here's a quick screenshot: http://falkendev.com/downloads/calendar.gif

Basically, it allows me to keep track of simple tasks that I need to do on a daily basis. If I complete all the tasks in a day, the background of the table cell for that day turns green.

I've set it up as the default page that appears when I open a browser/open a new tab, so I should see it often. I'm hoping that it will help me establish good habits and remember to do the small thin...

I like it!!! Great job. Also like your latest design you posted on twitter. You always do a great job!!

Thanks!

Nice!!

Bring it up!! We can't wait...!!!

I'm still in the process of recording them... I leave tomorrow for a weekend trip, so I'm doing my best to get them out today sometime.

I feel ya! Hope all is well!

Yeah, I'm fine, just super busy with work/school/family stuff. Things should slow down in 3 or 4 weeks when I'm finished with another semester of college, but till then I have to be a bit more careful with my time.

Glad to see you're back again! Hope things are going well for you. =)

So just in time for the holiday rush... lol! Lucky you! I am "around" and pop in to see how things are going but y'all are so on top of things I am rarely needed. Though I did find one that was right up my alley so I was able to help. *grin*

hi Ben, hope you do well in your Web business

hi Ben, hope you do well in your Web business

It's keeping me busy. =)

i notice the "pretty urls". did you use a cms system to do that?.

p.s.: Great work!!!

Nope, just folders with a index.html file inside each. Kept things simple. =)

Thanks!

And how often do you get to hang out with tigers...LOL

Every so often. =) My girlfriend works at an exotic animal facility (http://kirshner.org/ - I'm in the process of redesigning it) so I get an opportunity to feed/care for tigers/lions/exotic animals on occasion. This time, I got to take pictures with a couple week old baby tiger.

Hey Ben. What are these screencasts are about???

I probably shouldn't comment on this just yet. =) But they should be out within the next two to three days. I'll announce them then.

When you've done with it give us the link to check it out!!!

It may be a while before I'm 100% satisfied with it, but I'll definitely post a link to the mockup in the Peer-to=Peer review section.

Great!!

I've tried to make things as straight-forward as possible, but if you have any questions or anything I haven't explained clearly enough, let me know. OOP can be a bit complicated when you are first getting started, and I'm still learning a lot myself.

Thumb Up!

Nice

how do i add a blog to my website?

http://www.hebrewpublishing.com/

Seems like this would be a good question to post on the forum, not via a status update.

This is a personal question, but I am a curious kind of guy - what is it you want to do eventually?

I'm not completely sure yet. =) I know it's something design oriented, but whether that it ultimately something print or web based I'm not sure yet. Just depends on what opportunities I am given -- so far, most things that have come my way have been web oriented.

So who is Number 1?

LSW is highest with some 7000+ posts (I'm not going to pass him anytime soon.) Andrea is currently second.

Good luck Ben... hope you stay with Killer Sites. You have already been an immense resource for me. Best wished for the future.

I'll definitely be continuing to work with KillerSites as long as I have the time and Stefan still wants to work with me. =) I can't see that changing anytime soon.

Besides, OWC was having a Black Friday sale and I saved roughly $100 - http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/specials/

If anyone has a negative reputation for any reason, PM me and I'll reset it to zero?

Wow! This will be great. May I know what topic of screencasts you're going to up?
