I am not sure of the title names but start with HTML and then CSS. Thereafter, you can move on to PHP, javascript, etc.

Ah yes...the Alamo. My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt on the Riverwalk back in 2006. We are able to walk around downtown for everything except the Missions and the Market. We've been there 3 times now and we are ready to visit here again in the near future. I heard they extended the Riverwalk?

Ok..you can have south Texas and we will take the north.

Whew! I'm glad I listen to you because we are moving back to Texas come January. Getting fired and being in the same state could cause quite a ripple!

@seafoodcuisine: Although some of the comments provided here are a bit bold and direct, it's nevertheless right on the mark. We do so in hopes that you will realize we have no desires to see anyone fail in their quest to produce a decent website. Your site is so simple in design that you shouldn't have all these problems if you had followed everyone's suggestions. You don't have to hire a third party to get the results you are looking for. Just about everyone here can provide you a good source template examples that are free or little cost to you. Most CMS programs are free and quite good and stable. Creating and updating pages will be snap because it will use the same header/footer throughout. More importantly, menus will be quite simple to update in which you just make one edit and it updates the entire site. It also provides SEO plug-ins/modules plus many other tools you can add such as a comprehensive form, email forum, social media, google map, etc. All of us here can do custom websites but there are cases when it makes sense to the clients to use CMS and good templates within a limited budget, providing ease of us and allow them to update it themeselves. We are not here to hurt your feelings but instead we are here to tell it like it is. Many of us here had gone through the very same thing that you are going through now. The question is, what are you going to do to achieve that goal? I mean, you did say: "We understand the growing strength of the Internet and knowing how it works is critical to our future success.". If that's so then maybe you should adhere to those that are trying to help you. That's my two-bits worth.

If you are on a 'tight budget' then you may have to ditch the idea for now. The coding is sosphiscated and there are vendors that sells these types of programs for a hefty price. We are building a print site for a client that is using DirectSmile. It's possible to find someone on Elance but just be aware that if the price is cheap that it seems "too good to be true" then maybe it is. I'd get multiple bids. Talk to all your bidders in person and make sure they can answer your questions clearly with confidence and without any confusion. Also, if you prefer to work with someone in a geographical area then you must specify the preferred location.

I am just surprised by what looks like a very large company with over 40 locations that would not hire a professional to get this done. Based on what you are trying to accomplish here is that this can be done using some kind of CMS with a nice template that is editable via the admin. Most will have a built in menu systems to where you only have to create a new CMS page, save it and presto! it shows up on your menu.

What you are looking for is something that can't be done in short time or for free. "What's in your wallet?" is the alternative.

Most hosts are configured to accept several types of landing page such as index.html, index.htm, index.php, default.html, default.htm, and so on. However, host varies as to which one is precedes the other. For instance: You may have two landing page files. Yours might be called index.html while there might be another called defaul.html that came by default when you first set up your host. The host will more than likely try to find the default.html first when the domain url is entered. If it's not avaible then it will look for the index.html. You can simply delete that default file or just rename it and it should then allow your own page to display regardless if your enter www.mydomian.com or mydomain.com.

I don't know of Stef has any old videos for MX but you can google it: making a template dreamweaver mx

Not really. Your host (where you have your domain hosted) may allow so many outgoing emails per hour/day but I would never risk it because the last thing you want is to get black listed. Unless you just have only a few subscribers I would use services like Campaign Monitor or MailChimp (google them). I believe some will allow a certain amount of outgoing emails without a fee.

Odds are is that the file may actually have .txt saved to it because your windows settings is set to hide file extensions thus you see filename.html but it's actually saved as filename.html.txt Not sure for Windows 7 but for XP you need to adjust your settings by opening the Folder Options via windows explorer Tools/Folder Options and then click on the View tab. Uncheck 'Hide extensions for know types' You should now see the file extensions. Just rename your html file to be .html.

I am using WP's default theme which uses WP's default search form and I guess hacking the general-template.php file breaks the site. I went ahead and applied your (Susie's) code as it's own widget and it worked like a charm. Thanks. Oh incase anyone was wondering how the clear form is working here's the url: http://www.barrierreefaquariums.com/aquarium-blog/

Thanks Susie. I will try this tomorrow.

I'm right in the middle of a site wide search. As soon as I get that done I will reapply the code back into the site and provide a url so you can see what I am seeing. It basically makes the page go blank. Meanwhile, did you test the onclick code on a WP site??

You are using text-align: justify; which causes each paragraph to be blocked instead of align left or align right. Look at line 117 of your default.css file. Just change the value justify to left

Hey All, I am baffled as to why I am unable to get this onclick function to work so that it clears the default text value of an input field: $form = '<form name="form1" role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" > <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __('Search for:') . '</label> <input type="text" value="Search for articles...' . get_search_query() . '" onclick="document.form1.s.value ='';" name="s" id="s" /> <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" /> </div> </form>'; The code I added is in red: $form = '<form name="form1" role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" > <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __('Search for:') . '</label> <input type="text" value="Search for articles...' . get_search_query() . '" onclick="document.form1.s.value ='';" name="s" id="s" /> <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" /> </div> </form>'; I'm using Wordpress 3.01.

Stick with HTML 4.01 Strict. XHTML will one day become obsolete due to HTML 5. This is not to say that you can't use XHTML but that you should use it correctly. Here's an old document that explains it in detail. It's rather old but the core of the message is still valid.

He used a couple of add-ons for Firefox browser: Web Developer Tool and Firebug Internet Explorer and Safari have their own add-ons but I believe using the two plugins above for Firefox is far easier, more effective and time saving to use.

I don't recall but .htaccess has never worked for me on my WAMP probably because of the path issue that you find being different from a www site. However, I haven't had the need to use WAMP in over 2 years and it's also an outdated version.

Moving up to W7 is your call. I'm still on XP and probably will be until it's time to get a new computer. Reason being is that W7 has taken away a few features that I find quite useful and time saving. (organizing start menu, task bar, etc) It's just too bad that W7 did not provide a setting to allow you to revert to XP classic mode layout just like they did for XP when they provided that same kind of functionallity for those that upgraded from Windows 95/98. New technoligies are great but not everyone can adapt quickly especially when you been using the old versions for several years. Biggest plus about W7 though is that you can add more RAM when using 64 bit:W7 Memory Limit. This is useful for those gamers, programmers and developers. However, it's also dependent on the motherboards to handle the RAM. Look to more and more motherboards to go beyond the 8mb/16mb limits. I believe right now the newest boards supports at least 24mb of RAM.

You might try searching the net for Macromedia Studio 8 Windows 7 and you will find a few links on this. From what I read so far is that Studio 8 seems to have issues with the new OS but nothing was really clear because there isn't much to go on. One thing for sure is that you can run Studio 8 using XP mode.

In a nutshell, you can use Wordpress as a full blown site (including blog). I don't know if there are any forum integration or plugins but you can install a second software for a forum such as phpBB in a different directly. (i.e. www.domain.com/forum/ ) In saying, you are not limited to how many programs you can run on your server so long as you have unlimited mysql databases. (i.e Gallery2, phpBB, Worpress, CMS Made Simple, etc.)
