Hey, so i want a small-moderate sized wikipedia-type site, as well as forums, blogspots, comments on articles, ets. My questions are: As a fairly new web designer, would it be best to use a wiki template? Is it very hard to build it myself from scratch? If i should get a wiki template, what are some of the best for my needs? Is there a resource you could give me on this? Thanks a bunch, David

Thanks

Good point, however still one problem. They want the add as a jpg file...how to I add a link to a jpg file without an html file accompanying it?

Hey, I am designing an add for an electronic magazine. They want a jpg image with a link in the image file itself. Any Ideas on how to do this, or maybe some references? Can it even be done? Thanks a bunch David

Found the problem, somehow I managed to insert the text packag before the DTD lol. Thanks

Hey, I am working on my first clients website. He wants a slideshow as well as a drop-down menu navigation bar. I know you can achieve both of these effects without javascript, I was just wondering which way is ultimately better (faster, cleaner etc). And if javascript is better, could you point me in the direction of a script/tutorial for both of these tasks. Thanks David

Big help, thanks alot David

I have a good handle on css and html, and a bit of javascript. I am designing an independent news website and the methods i am using seem like the hard way. For example, i am just making all the news articles on seperate pages and creating links to them on the main page. I was thinking that there is a more efficient way to organize the news and create archives. I am looking into rss, but that is more for making your news available for others on different sites, or am i mistaken. Anyways, i was thinking there was some format or template to create a more efficient way to update the site, to get things running automatically and let users post news without me having to code in every new aticle individually on the main page. Possibly some javascript, mysql, or whatever. Maybe ill just have to figure it out on my own, but i did some searching and couldnt find much. Thanks David

Hey, im a bit new to web design and im designing a news website. I was wondering if any of you could give me a reference to a good tutorial or news related web design information. Thanks David

Well thanks alot for the advise. Im going to check out ITT Tech and make a few freebie sites.

Thanks, so the government doesnt require expeirience and they would probably hire me? Anyone know more details, what department, how i apply etc?

Hey, i was wondering how to get a job and what my chances are. I have a pretty good handle on css and (x)html, and am learning javascript. I have no official training or experience. Is there opportunities out their for me in the now (i will become a freelancer in the longrun but i need a job now)? Thanks David

Hey i was interested in creating a wiki-type website and was wondering if there was a standard wiki template to start from. Ive looked a little bit and cant find one. Thanks David
