If you are on PC - do get Notepad++. Together with XAMPP, Directory Opus, Firefox with developer bar and Firebug will give you much better oppotunities to develop sites, especially when CMS is involved.

Seems like: Filter-Render-Lens Flare applied with hight brightness and then opacity to almost max...

and of course the main advantage of Wordpress (besides above mentioned) I think is the possibility of having very own template for practically each page ( or post) and the easiness of achieving that.

Try to use some script as for example - here. Also while embedding, you can set the movie size in % so it will fill the container ( div) which holds the movie. In your case it will be body selector.

Comic Sans MS will hold its position because it is available for the most of the machines: PC and Mac. Fonts suggested as an alternatives in Sitepoint article - well, not so much. Of course there is also a possibility of font embedding services willdely used by designers (not for free). As for your particular layout: On my now wide screen I dont see the actual text because of the vivid pink gradient body background. Further - drop Comic sans as it not fit in your kind of layout - try Tahoma or Georgia or Arial - for the text. Also - when go to the "poodle farm" website, I expect to see a huge picture of poodle on a front page or some slideshow. But the main point is - make one and only layout for all pages and bigger headlines. By the way, if you like Comic sans, use it only for the headlines only - for visitors it will be easier on eye to navigate through the page with a lot of text content. And again, tame the background color!

hi, I'm looking for image thumbnail viewer ( on mouseover exclusively) which client can update just changing image folder, not touching any HTML. May be be somebody seen such wp plugin or script to it?

I swear I saw it viewing source in FF 3.6 which I've just upgraded to recently and it helped me to find this unclosed tag. I report it again if I come accross another time.

it wasnt me :cool: Just thought was nice feature of FF i noticed the other day - as an extra help even before validating to spot HTML glitches.

You can change anything changing the style.css of the template. You will nee to upload wp to the server ( or use XAMPP to run WP remotely ) to see the changes. If you have Firefox, look into page source code and see what id is used for the container in question.

remarkably, in View Source option, the new version of FF shows unclosed HTML tags in red ( seen myself few days ago). Hope I havent mixed it up with Notepad ++

did you try to overwrite standard template style.css by creating your own mystyle.css and calling it after style.css in the header?

This could be the way the way out - they still will support what is popular enough. By the way there is a new Flash gig: http://bio-bak.nl/ Hilarious and well done.

i use and from the very beginning - started as a test of yet another new web gig but now it became a first source of web news. From yesterday that is "ipad, ipub and ipint" ( in no particular order)

I agree, per page: readable url, relevant page title, tag and good written content have more effect on SEO than meta tags. Though just in case, good CMS has dynamic metatags as well.

make search on wp magazine theme and choose one that does what are you looking for.;activate this template and see what snippet is used to do what you want to achieve. Or: Standard wp template SHOWS list of categories on a side bar - just use the code for it for the archive page.

looking good so far.

try another thing: rename old copy of about.xml into about-old.xml and edit about.xml file. then you dont need to change the linking in other files.

embed one of the players (from the list Ben posted) on the members page and use XML list (for example) to load tracks from your server to the player.

have you tried Free Transform - Skew or Distort on the dashed line? Of course there are some tricks with brushes as well (scroll down a bit)

take shopping cart script and look what pages are the buyer will see on screen. Use for these pages your own template. YOu do need to know php (at least basics), CSS and HTML. The short cut can be - install CMS with shopping cart plugin and again, use your own template.

for you tube videos: on a right side of each video in a grey box there is a small window with "embed" code. Copy-paste it into your web page code and you'll get your video working. To get video embedded from other websites, ask permission for it first and use one of video players available.

considering myspace mess of code you can try to avoid using sliced in Photoshop layout all along. Save parts of Photoshop layout for the web ( as .jpg of .gif) and use them as a backgrounds for divs in the layout without tables.

you can try this approach to get your page working on myspace (go through the comments as well for some hints).
