I always find it somewhat odd when brand new members welcome other brand new members - -- and neither of them ever return. It's kind of like welcoming a stranger to someone else's house....

I'm viewing with Firefox, and I see the header too narrow - an additional 40 px or so should make it as wide as the content. The main menu hover leaves way too little contrast between background and font color The left column pictures and text are cut off. There are 35 validation errors <br> should not be used to create space.

Hi, Ronald!

Depending on scope, I can help some - what would be more effective, testing what I already know, or something I'd be learning new, like PHP?

Check your CSS: #header .navigation li:hover { height: 42px; margin-top: -2px; } #header .navigation a:hover { font-weight: bold; As for the validator, I use Firefox and have the webdeveloper add-on installed. That comes with a Validator Tool. You can also go here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ I have no idea if Wordpress does or does not have a validator plug, but you don't need one.

You have some coding errors that may be causing your issue: <div id="logo"> <a href="http://www.befreebehappy.nl/"> <img src="http://www.befreebehappy.nl/..../weblogo.png" alt="Be Free, Be Happy" </a> </div> Here, you are missing the closing bracket after the alt: <img src="http://.. alt="Be Free, Be Happy"> Fix that first and let me know if you still have a problem. Hint: It's always a good idea to run a page through the validator. It helps detect coding problems which can cause all kinds of havoc.

Can you post a link to the page the broken link appears on?

I wrote one of them - what's up?

Just post your questions/concerns here.

I'd love to be able to help, but I don't speak PHP. Maybe one day, I'll buckle down and learn.

I'll just list what I notice one by one: The red of Login and Register on the black background is bad - not enough contrast I kind of get the "Sweet Sparkle Hampers", but no idea what the 'Wedding Hire" is supposed to mean. Your footer text is cut off - I only see as far as CMS Provided t (maybe that's a chopped of b --- that's it. There is way too much pink for me - but that's personal preference. Looking at the code: Hidden comments can be useful, I think you may be going a bit overboard. meta tags are obvious, so is title start and end, and IMO does not require any more explanation than the tags themselves. However, this is personal preference, and commenting on everything is not wrong. You are starting your footer with a div class footer but are closing it with the HMTL5 closing footer tag - pick one.

well DUH (this is for me, not you) --- bullets are removed via list-style-type: none. The text-docoration: none is for the underline.

using the html5 way of coding and using <footer> vs. the former <div class(or id)="footer"> your CSS needs to address just footer -- not .(for class which you don't have)footer --- in plain - No Period in front of the footer.

You shouldn't have two periods in your filename - spaces are also not a good idea and can cause problems. Change your image name to FaerieRogue_full.jpg and make sure to update your path, and see if that fixes things.

If you're testing this forum --- it works. For Spam control, however, every new user's first post is held in suspense until a moderator views the post. If it's Spam, the post is deleted before it ever goes public, and the spammer is banned. Posts that contribute to the forum, are approved -- and VOILA

Hard to say - I just removed the entire spry code for now, as I wasn't sure if'/how that might be messing with the rest or your layout. I figure get your basic structure down and then deal with the menu. I've never used a spry menu, but depending on what you're looking for, CSS can probably do the same or at least something similar.

HTML Get a hosting account somewhere - it's always easier to be able to see how things really look like online even as you work on your site. Xhtml is usually not the correct doctype. Cut through the chase and use the HTML 5 doctype - see add'l detail about the head section here: http://www.how-to-build-websites.com/2012/html5-head-section/ Add a title to your pages Stick to lower-case letters when naming IDs', classes, files, etc. and don't put spaces in file names. Upper case letters are not wrong, but you'll save yourself a lot of trouble over time, trying to figure out why something isn't working, only to discover that image.jpg is not the same as Image.jpg. Check your menu list - there are several opening -closing errors in there. I wasn't sure how you wanted it, so I deleted all but a small portion that shows how a list and sublist should look like. CSS You don't need a charset in your css Use the universal reset use shortcuts You can only have one background image per tag. Your Master ID has two. borders don't just need colors, they need the type and width, too. Put quotes around the url some of your image urls lead to files on your computer It's usually not a good idea to set div heights as the content tends to vary. The image inside your picture division is larger than the division itself You only clear things that follow floats There is no such thing as a float: none; I find it better to work the CSS in the order as things appear. Helps prevent overriding stuff. These are just a few items to begin with. I made the changes I mentioned, added background color to some of the divisions only so it's easier to see where what is. http://aandbwebdesign.com/KSforum/devor.html Overall, I think you have way too many IDs - not everything needs one. Since I'm not sure where you want things, it's kind of hard for me to line things up. If you give me a better idea where you want what, I'll be happy to help get things there. Let me know if you have any questions.

Then can you at least post your code - html AND CSS - without seeing what you have, it's impossible to give you some concrete input.

That depends on your website - normally those changes would be done in the stylesheet. Do you have a link to the site you're working on?

Since we don't really know how they got in, it's hard to say. I've had a website attacked via an older version of zenphoto. Vulnerabilities in php or script files are another way to get attacked. However, it can very well be an issue on the host's site. I've had one site attacked several times, and it wasn't anything within the site itself. The host kept blaming my password, which by then was about as hackproof as it can get. I finally moved to a new host. Now I'm using iPage and haven't had a problem since.

Are you talking about the purple borders around the main content that appear to be too short now? That's probably because they are applied to the shorter side columns - just put a right and left border to the main content column instead. Btw. your navigation list code is incorrect. You don't add a closing li tag before the sub-items ul, that closing li comes after the closing ul of the sub list. You also have ul and ol tags miss-matched.

Just compare your code with mine. You have several individual lists, but in order to do sublists, you insert a new ul group inside li tags. This tutorial addresses this in more detail: http://line25.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-pure-css-dropdown-menu

<ul> <li><a href="#"> Home</a> <ul> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> </ul><!--closing of inner ul tag--> </li><!--end of li tag--> <li><a href="#"> Home</a> <ul> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> Link 1</a></li> </ul><!--closing of inner ul tag--> </li><!--end of li tag--> ... </ul><!--end of menubar ul tag--> Almost what you had, but your main ul doesn't close until the end.
