  1. The big questions here are...Is it SEO friendly? Will Google Index the pages that uses it? Will Yahoo? The website that sells that software doesn't really say anything about that.
  2. In addition to my post above, I've just looked at your site and I think I like that logo better than what you have now. I think you will greatly enchance the site if you warm up the green tones so that it isn't dark. As it stands now, your site is certainly better than most legitimate freelance website design business. It has character. Probably even more so if you make the color adjustments.
  3. Everybody is different. If you have added one or more modules to your default CMS software you might do it this way: 1. Create a database via phpMyAdmin. 2. Import the existing database tables from you old site. 3. Upload the existing CMS files to your new host. 4. Make the necessary changes to the config.php files to reflect your database name, database username, database password as well as the file paths. 5. Your done. Some are not comforable in doing it that way. If you did not add any module extensions to the default CMS, then you can just do the install method. Here's how I would do it. 1. Create a database via phpMyAdmin. 2. Import the existing database tables from you old site. 3. Upload a clean copy of the CMS files (use the latest version) to your new host. 4. Run the install 5. During the install process, when you get to the page where it says to create Sample Data, uncheck it. You don't want to overwrite your existing imported database tables. If you have any problems, let me know and I will be more than happy to get it done for you.
  4. Sometimes simple is better. Just look at mine (website). It just never panned out the way I hoped and so I created a new one that is very simple and it is far more effective I believe. So far I have gotten positive opinions. I am now implementing this to my new website design.
  5. I concur with Thelma. I wonder just how people are going to search this site because Google relies on content and not meta tags. Pages listed by Google Really not much there in that result and the information is lacking.
  6. 1. You can use Server Side Includes (SSI). PHP and ASP. Here again you will have to update all your pages to use SSI but thereafter update an entire site is a snap. 2. Not sure what the problem is and I never used that particular jquery. You might change the conditional comment to be
  7. Ditto. The second choice is a taker!
  8. What you are looking for is called Built To Order or BTO that many commercial commerce sofware use that allows customers to configure a product to their specification. Here is one we did that use this feature. Just click on "SOLIDWAVE/PC CONFIGURE YOUR OWN SYSTEM NOW". I do not know if Magento or osCommerce uses such tools but the chances are that you are not going to build something like this with the skillset you have now. You will need to find one that has this functionallity built in within the shopping cart. ProductCart is what we used but it does come with a price.
  9. I assume that the scrollbar positions for browsers in the Middle East is default to the left side. If this is the case, you can use this css: direction:ltr; rtl = right to left ltr = left to right CSS Direction
  10. #navlist li a { padding: 0.4em 1em; background-color: #009; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; float: right; border-right: 1px solid #FFF; }
  11. You can do a whois for redtoys.com and see who own the domain. Looks like they are only using for some kind of search portal. Nevertheless, there are no reason to use new york in your redtoy banners, logos, text, etc so long it's not doesn't look similar to the other.
  12. Ah...forgot about my picture on my website. I guess you guys took the easy way to get spooked!
  13. I am just curious... Has anyone taken my avatar and put the pieces together just to see what I look like? Reason I ask is that I am about to replace it with something else and I am just curious if anyone suceeded.

    Weird Issue in FF

    The broken images has nothing to do with the problem I am focusing on. The problem is that the CSS doesn't render via FX. The Firebug tool doesn't see it but the FX Web Developer's Edit CSS tool does see it in which it would then renders the css.
  15. To fix this one: http://sheffieldfurniture.com/main/rugtest2.html Remove the padding: 50px from the body and take out the & tag from your logo image. This should get it in place. The method * {margin: 0; padding: 0;} zeros out all the tags that has default margins and paddings like tag, tag, etc.
  16. Has anyone every used X-Cart? If so, can you provide me some unbias comments based on your experience? Thanks.

    Weird Issue in FF

    Can someone please check these two links out: (remove spaces) prin gleandzim ring.com/store/pc/catalog/storemap.html myli ghtin gshop.com/shop/pc/catalog/storemap.html In IE, the CSS renders but for some reason it does not via FX. However, if you click on Edit CSS via the FX Web Developer Tool the css renders (minus the background images). It just occurs for the store map which is generated by Product Cart software. Now to note, I opened both of those storemap.html files and it had over 10,000 lines of code in which it showed a good chunk of chinese text/font within the code. Keep in mind that these two sites were built by someone else. I am baffled by this and I am not sure if this is some kind of hack or what.
  18. You didn't say how wide the footer is going to be but let me assume that it's 900px wide and based on the code you gave it looks like the banner images are 200px wide each. You can do this with one css class and id: #banner-wrap {width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;} .banner {float: left; width:200px;} This will place all four banners horizontally and centered.
  19. Like everyone else, choosing a good billing/invoicing tool is a difficult task to fit your needs. For the very serious busy developer, using QuickBooks is probably the best approach which allows you to do that very thing plus keep a database of clients. In addition, you can sync your QB with your business bank account. But for those that are not ready for QB or any other commerical software or do not desire to save their data on someone elses online site software then you might want to check out a couple of these open source software that you can download and run on your own server: Simple Invoices Bamboo Simple Invoices has more features than Bamboo which is good for those that need need them. It seems to be a bit difficult at first to navigate around and understand what does what but thereafter is quite good. Bamboo is a trimmed down tool compared to Simple Invoice but very effective for those that don't need all the extras. @Susie, To answer your question, you can use Simple Invoice to create your clients. There is a note box (text area) that you can add all the information you have on your client (i.e. email, domain, ftp, etc.). It also have 3-4 custom field that you can modify to fit your need.
  20. Firstly, I am not familiar with this type of menu script but I did notice this in the html that might shed some light: I notice that mozilla, opera, etc. are set to false. Assuming this is the menu function, try setting them to true instead of false. Secondly, this menu is not SEO friendly.
  21. Summary: "The Internet Archive organization plans next week to announce the opening of a new data center to house two petabytes of information for its Wayback Machine, the digital time capsule that stores archived versions of Web pages dating back to 1996." 85 billion pages and growing!
  22. I haven't downloaded IE8 yet but I remember there was some kind of meta tag that you can insert into your web page to tell IE8 to render IE7. Is this still the case? If so, I am going to slap in that meta tag on all the sites I have done because of the problems with IE8. Thanks.
  23. Too bad the 'liberals' and 'conservative' can't all get a long.
  24. Keep in mind that the paragraph tag has default margins/paddings. You have set your footer paragraph to be the same width as the container but in IE6 it will add the default padding. You have the footer width set and so there is no need to set your footer's with a width. Remove the width: 770px; from #footer p
