  1. Don't know, never worked with it. But it does compare itself to Paint Shop Pro, which I know, and that can. You can probably find that answer or ask that question on their forum.
  2. Photoshop is very expensive. There are cheaper (Paintshop Pro) or free (gimp) options out there that may be all you need. Here is a thread with several free editors: http://www.killersites.com/community/index.php?/topic/185-free-image-editors/
  3. Definitely listen to Ben - he knows more about this than I do. I was assuming a simple background replace.
  4. Changing background isn't hard. Just Google it. That's $1,000 you can spend on something else. I cannot say about the charged amount. It should only take a few seconds for someone who knows what they are doing - so $10 seems pretty steep to me. But then, it is a special skill and Photoshop is expensive.
  5. You can do that with PHP includes. Here is a video tutorial: http://www.killerphp.com/videos/02_php_includes/02_php_includes.html
  6. Amazing what happens when political correctness replaces common sense.
  7. I'm not clear what you are looking for. The html you attached is totally different than your site itself. Don't quite get what you're describing either. To me, 'lining up at the top' means your text and the navigation bar are next to each other which doesn't make sense. I played around with the attached HTML and CSS a bit, trying to guess what you may have meant. See here. The main things I did are: added doctype added wrapper, gave it a width and centered it added universal reset See if this helps you any and let me know if you have any more questions.
  8. Maybe you could use Word or similar for your mockup and send it to him as a PDF? Depends on how detailed everything will be, it may be just as easy to create the index page of the website. Not only would that give you your basic outline already in place, you could easily make any formatting changes just by changing the stylesheet.
  9. Not sure - it looks fine with my IE 10. Btw - your text is hard to read. There is too little contrast between background and your header and regular text color. Either make the fonts darker or the background lighter. Your color scheme is working, but what good is a pretty page that people have trouble reading?
  10. The best way I found to make sure that everything is properly closed is to indent the html. Like so: <div> <p> your text </p> </div> I think this may mean that they're wondering if you forgot the slash in a self-closing element - but bottom line is, it's another issue of tags not being properly closed. Doing what i suggested above should reveal and correct the issues.
  11. For starters, validate your code - you have several start/closing tag errors that can cause problems: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.burnmoorcc.org.uk%2F2bfit%2Findex.html
  12. Code's important!! Doctype comes first - and yours is incomplete - then the opening html tag. Tables should not be used for layout, they are for displaying tabular data. Using JavaScript for a hover is very outdated and way too cumbersome. That can be done with simple CSS. Why are you using iframes to insert your content? That's usually done if you're including something external. The code of your iframed content also has loads of errors in it. - no doctype, 2 opening html tags, deprecated tags (font tag for example) (even so a font tag should not be used --- if you're using it anyway, the closing font tag should only be </font> - you do not repeat the color.). There should not be any tags between the closing body and the closing html tag. (those are just a few). Mainly, I think the question is - are you looking to learn how to do this right, or are you just interested in getting this site to work? If you want to learn, start by reading Killersites. There is so much info here. A good start for a basic overview is: http://www.how-to-build-websites.com/
  13. I don't know much about PHP, nor do I understand exactly what your problem is, but since PHP files usually are saved as .php, I am wondering if naming your file file.txt instead of file.php might be the problem. You might also want to look at your HTML and consider an external CSS vs. inline styling and avoid the deprecated tags you are using.

    Phplist

    I've used them a couple times, but have no current subscription. Sorry.
  15. I agree with Ben. If I'm looking for 'crockpot chicken' - I don't need all those many options. I could see it useful when looking for something rare and specific - cyber-stalking maybe , where one might want to check the results of as many spiders as possible to cover a larger area. Also, I don't like that the result windows require horizontal scrolling. It makes looking at the results a bit cumbersome.

    Html 5

    Maybe this part - it does read like that to me, too:
  17. Andrea

    Html 5

    <br> is the correct way for HTML 4 and 5. XHTML requires <br/> (the space is for older browsers, but I don't know what the exact definition of 'older' is) HTML 5 does not need the closing tags that XHTML requires, however, using them will not give you any validation errors.
  18. Andrea

    Html 5

    Same as in HTML 4 - </p> (but some closing tags are no longer required) If but if you really want to know all about it, read this
  19. I have no idea about this - it tells me my site is worth $33. But end of day, whatever it may or may not be worth is meaningless, unless you find someone willing to pay that amount.
  20. Go to www.wordpress.org and search or them.
  21. I've reduced your banner picture to the same width as your page image (771 px). I've removed the blurry-looking edge from the sports-page,increased it back to 771 px wide, so it's as wide as the logo, and cut the image down to just the top section. Then I used my dropper to find out what color this page image now ends is, so I can match the background. I moved the logo image inside the header div - that's what it was intended for and removed the white background from the css I removed the height declaration from the #content and added the background color to the content background. ..... Just check the source and CSS, and you'll see what else I did. If you're wondering about why and how, just ask. http://wwww.aandbweb...um/noname2.html Btw - your grass image is still way too large in filesize.
  22. Go to the Expand/Collapse screen and just drag it across.
  23. You can work in this with your dreamweaver. Just use the code view and upload it the same way. Just create a new folder for your WIP. I use Dreamweaver for all my webdesign.
  24. and you have verified that the file names are spelled exactly, and the path is images/picture.jpg and it still doesn't work? Is the folder called image or images? any case discrepancies?
