The only thing I am aware of are the student/teacher versions of each respective software that are soley used for teaching/learning or non-profit use. If you want to use Expression Web, fork over the money. However, we have a post somewhere on here that list a handful of free HTML editors that you can use if money is an issue. Update: Found the post: Alternative HTML Editors

I have been corrected and the info by Ajoe is valid. Thanks.

I am not familiar with MAMP but I have used WAMP in the past. Basically, you need to enable your MAMP to be online and configure it so that it displays php along with the database content. Odds are that the url you use to view it via on a Mac may not be the same when viewed from any other computers whether be a Mac or Pc. There is more to what I am saying here which I believe this is best answered by the the folks at the MAMP Forum.

I'm just surprised that you just don't delete the account along with a couple of others because they have nothing useful to say in regards to other valid users questions.

Nothing wrong with security. I actually encourage it.

Thelma is correct. I would also suggest using Firebug for Firefox. It will allow you to troubleshoot issues such as these.

It may look like the theme has a self generating styles script that you will need to edit via the theme's configuration or settings. Those styles will override the default style.css file. Just look at the themes settings via WP admin.

Gee, didn't I already answered this question for the poster?

To help you better, get it uploaded to a host so we can see the problem and then troubleshoot it for you.

I haven't really looked at this much but you can still use the tabs as background without any text in the image. You can then apply a transparent image with text overlaying the background. You can also use actual text via html but using positioning.

The other two sites that are not having the horizontal issue have less margin left. You could adjust that instead. In any case, the css are different.

style.css

Try changing the body font size in your template theme's stylesheet: body, input, textarea { color: #666666; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; }

Your ##site-description div is too wide. Adjust the width to be about 40%;

Yes and no. If you use ul#sidebar then it will only work for unordered list and no where else. It's possible you may want to use #sidebar more than once but not on the same page. For instance, let's say that the ul#sidebar is for a menu that is being used on the home page. However, for one interior page it does not require that menu but something different altogether. It could be ol#sidebar or whatever. Of course we all know that you should only use ID's once but it's possible to have logic and scripting to define a set of codes such as whether a user is logged in or not. The id ul#sidebar could be used for when you are not logged in while the other (when logged in) could use ol#sidebar. The css for ul#sidebar will not work for <ol id="sidebar"> and vice versa. With that being said, it's probably more common and better to use classes for such cases as these. And for those that do not know, you can have as many classes as you want within the same line but only one ID. Example: You can set the css like this: .menu {css styles here} .leftbox {float left style here} .blue-bg {background style here} You html would look like this: <div class="menu"></div> <div class="leftbox"></div> <div class="blue-bg"></div> Now you may want all three styles to be in one div. Instead of writing another set of css styles you would do something like this: <div class="menu leftbox blue-bg"> Each can work as a standalone anywhere that uses such classes but also work together. If you want to expand more on those above css styles that are not listed then you would do something like this: .menu.leftbox.blue.bg {additional styles} As for ID, you can only use it once but you can use it together with classes. <div id="sidebar" class="menu"> <div id="sidebar" class="menu leftbox blue-bg"> #sidebar.menu {styles} or #sidebar.menu.leftbox.blue.bg {styles}

Eric's example is a good one. Of course you will have to tweak it to fit your need but based on the example link you gave in your post you will find that their method is very much like Eric's. If you have your firebug tool you can define what images were used and how they were laid out. I did something similar here with the exception that this one only has a bottom scroll.

Instead of using background-color, try just background: #702C53; ...and Wickham is right, it's a jumble of codes you have.

Most people call them slideshows and/or image galleries. You can google 'jquery slideshow'. Here's one site that list about 25 of them: Jquery Slideshow

Do you realize that I am still stuck on 3.6? I wanted to upgrade late last year but some of the plugins were not updated and since then I have never thought about upgrading it until now.

Totally missed this. You seem to be very serious about building a ecommerce site for the long term and really need someone that will handle all the details of design, integration, development, etc of the store itself. First thing is finding the right shopping cart solution. If you are on a tight budget then you will best use an open source cart. However, since you want your store to look professional and not just some template looking design then you will have to consider a budget for a graphical design of your site, a budget for building the design via html/css/js and then a budget for any and all customizations of the shopping cart core files that you may require to fit your design. This may or may not but affordable for you. So you need to ask: What is my budget? Once you determine your low-end and high-end budget you can then determine the best solution for you by hiring a good development that can offer all the above. I have been doing ecommerce for about 4 years now and if you are still interested to know more and would like to see some example just private message me and I will be happy to share more info.

For all tha that you are asking for, $600 is not going to buy you much on your list.

Also, it looks like the client has a new link called Coupon which does have a class but the nav-v2.gif needs updating to show 'Coupon' nav-v2.gif image

I don't know of any projects but you could look at any open source programs such as CMS Made Simple, Wordpress, Joomla, etc and find something that could use some improvements on. The best way is to download the software, install it and then get familiar with it. If you find something that you think should be done differently which would be a good improvement for users then you now have an project you can work on.

Susie, there a couple of things that I see missing...a css defined for class="healthy-menu" which requires a width and background position. All your other menu links have something like this: ul#nav li a.franchise-info { background-position: -230px 0; width: 190px; }

Try removing the space indicated in red: .bgimage { background-attachment: fixed; background-image: urlspace(images/marshallWall.png) ; background-repeat: no-repeat; visibility: visible; }
