Thanks, guys. I don't have Word, so I'm definitely looking for a PDF method. I'll take a look!

I think we've discussed this before, but I can't find it here or in the old forums. Eric, maybe it was you who was looking for a solution? Anyway, I have some forms that I want clients to fill out and I would like to do it in PDF format. I've googled, but I don't know which programs are the best and I'm afraid to download some of the unknowns I'm finding. So, does anyone know of a good program (free is best, but low cost is okay, too) that allows you to create PDFs that others can fill in and then resave and send it back? TIA!

http://tutorialblog.org/10-firefox-add-ons-for-web-designers-you-might-not-know-of/ I read this on Twitter last night and thought I'd share it here with you guys. I didn't know about some of these. I especially look forward to checking out the one for accessibility...

Hi, I'll have to take a look when I have a free moment later this morning, but I would seriously advise that you remove the login information from your post right away! You never know who might be reading here and someone could do some damage with that info!! Just send it to me in a PM if you want. Edit to add: I decided to take a look now. I downloaded the theme to see if there was a readme doc inside and there was. You can always check for that in all wordpress themes. Here's what it says about those images: (I added a couple words to that to make the instructions more clear.) Hope this helps.

Without seeing the dashboard, it's hard to say exactly, but is there some place where you can upload images that are specific for those spots? I mean - some premium themes I've worked with have a special options screen where you can add images to fit their predetermined areas. What is the theme's home page? I did a quick google search and didn't come across it. Maybe I can read through there and see what's going on...

What always, and I do mean ALWAYS, happens to me is that they show back up when I've already moved on and am knee deep in 3 other websites. I struggle with that big time because I feel like they deserve my attention since I have some of their money, but my schedule is very limited and tight, so I don't always have time when they're ready. I'm redeveloping my website and in the process, I'm revamping some of my policies. Hopefully I'll be able to prevent this issue in the future. Good luck!

What jquery plugin is used for the whitehouse.gov homepage
Susie replied to capnhud's topic in Javascript
It is - you can look in the head of their source code and see a link to the script. I'm thinking they used the carousel with external controls and styled it to suit their site. -

It is jCarousel. -
It's not javascript. Just some html (& css to style it). Here's an example of states in a drop down. You can do the same with the countries (google "country drop down" or something like that). http://lab.artlung.com/50states/

Thanks for your input, Eddie. I appreciate it and will take it into account as I come up with my new system!

Thanks, Kyle. I'll take a look!

I am really a little frazzled here. How do you guys handle client scheduling? I have several current clients who are waiting for major updates/changes to their site plus I have two new clients waiting for me to begin their sites. I feel like I've maybe bitten off more than I can chew, but a couple months ago I was fine and running on schedule. What's happening is that some of my clients ask to be added to my schedule but then when it's their turn, they aren't ready. When they finally are ready, I've already moved on and really don't have time for their stuff. I feel like I'm going slightly crazy while trying to create a couple new designs plus all the maintenance work that my current clients need. Add on top of that needing to spend time with my kids, shuttle them back and forth to school and then cooking dinner, laundry, etc. and you have the recipe for someone who feels totally overwhelmed. I ran across the website of another designer who publishes her schedule in two week increments. So, she shows something like this: May 4 - Client Name May 18 - Client Name June 1 - Client Name June 15- Client Name and so on.... She states on her site that if the client isn't ready when it's their turn, their project will need to be rescheduled. Maybe I should include something like this on my new site. I have to do SOMETHING. So, how do you guys deal with this?

I'm no expert. lol Fazlionline, I got your PM and sent one back. You might check your cpanel to see if your host provides Fantastico. If it does, you can install Wordpress in just a couple clicks. You tell it what directory to put it in and it will do the rest. Don't create the directory first, though. Fantastico will do it for you. In your PM you gave me a link to yoursite.com/blog and I see that there's something already there. So, if you want to use /blog, you'll need to delete what's there and start over. Let us know how it goes!

Thanks a lot for that link.

I scanned through the accessibility archives, but didn't really see what I'm looking for. If I missed it, could someone point me to the right place? Anyway, I am looking for a checklist of basics that I should include in a site that needs to be accessible. I'm working on a site for a UK charity organization and it's a requirement of theirs. I know I could do some reading and research, but that will take a bit and I'm really pressed for time. So, is there a checklist floating around out there that you guys know about? :cool:

I don't get that from her at all. I find her to be pretty genuine and to have good ideas. (did I just ruin my reputation with some of you? lol)

It would also work to put each section in its own div and float them left/right respectively. For example: HTML: www.sitename.com nav links here CSS: #sitename { width: _____px; height: _____px; float: left; } #nav { width: _____px; height: _____px; float: right; } Note: I don't recommend using paragraphs for those items, though. Maybe the site name should be an h1 and the nav links should be an unordered list. What I wrote is just for an example...

Just picked this up on Twitter: 18 Seriously Helpful Cheat Sheets for Easier Coding. I haven't had a chance to look through it, but I thought some of you might like to see it.

Hmmm....I sure don't remember being given an option. Oh well, this works fine. But how annoying that if I click Localhost from the little icon in the tray, I get nothing. lol Thanks!

This isn't a big deal, but I do wonder why I cannot access my wamp installation via http://localhost anymore. I was able to do so a while back when I first installed wamp. But then I uninstalled wamp and installed another similar program (can't remember what it was). But just now I uninstalled everything and reinstalled wamp and now I can only access my stuff via the 127.0.0.1 address. Wonder why that is? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the link.

WANTED! Webpage, CMS for web building newbies
Susie replied to vikingkiller's topic in Beginners Web Design
I *think* he is asking for someone to write tutorials on the ins and outs of CMS based websites. Maybe?? -
I believe you can change the overall color of the Google calendar, but not individual event types. Is that what you're looking for? I've used Easy PHP Calendar and it's pretty flexible and easy to use. http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/ It's not free, but it's pretty reasonable in price.

It's a holiday here. My kids are home from school today.

No, the emails aren't going into the junk folders. They are just not being received there at all. It is very strange because I've tested with a couple of my email addresses and it works fine. ?? ETA: I just remembered that I have a hotmail account so I tried it and she's right. It is not being received in hotmail inboxes. Weird!
