Hello All, I am trying to get this image thing down and I can't wrap my head around the process. I am just trying to have a nice background image as a full page(I took one of the sample images from windows to play with)and then add different elements on top of it. I can't even get the image to appear. I think I am not using the url part correctly...When you have a moment can you have a look please? http://www.byyourdesign.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/index.html

OK...Let's not peeve Andrea....I will open a new topic with a link

Hi guys, I have been out of pocket for awhile but I'm back...I need to revisit images....What is wrong with this code to add a full background image? I will add my css file as an attch. style.css

Perfect, this is exactly the challenge I am looking for(although built in photoshop?Not sure I can comply) ! Lay down, what you would expect from a clients point of view,(exactly what you said above)although I doubt they would say so, so clearly, and a reasonable freelance / client job bid. I will use the byyourdesign.com domain as a platform and you(and moderators ) as the client. And all of the above must be met(reasonably) to fulfill the task. Deal? And you will be there to help right?

Good afternoon all, Today I saw a job opening for a front end web developer and I know I am not skilled enough yet to apply. That said do you think it possible to create spec assignments to complete that would be practical exercises and help our portfolio? Something that required HTML, css, javascript,php, maybe a little photoshop, and whatever else in your minds eye would say this is a viable candidate for entry level web design? Or whatever criteria you can count on your fingers, you need to be able to do this, this, this. And if you can do this, it proves you know enough to seek employment. Thoughts

You are a peach!

I want to get rid of that adventure journal business and say "Site by ARJ Communications and Technologies"...And then tell me how you did it.

I would like you to take a look at this...Last time I went poking around in the footer.php file I crashed my site and it took me eight hours to fix it. So when I see .PHP I tread lightly

ok, what about changing the footer?

And the theory about why php vs html?

Ben, Sorry I did not see that you have "Form Validation" videos. I am sure that will answer my original questions. But it also created some new ones...Go figure right? Anyway, here is my principle question, why? What does php do that can't be done with html? In the first video you have four files to manage the form. In wordpress, where would I put them?

I disabled the coming soon plugin. The form I trying to produce is the request a quote page. I also want to change the footer but am having difficulty...Here is the theme editor page:http://www.usaglobaltradingllc.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php And here is the footer page:http://www.usaglobaltradingllc.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=%2Fthemes%2Fadventure-journal%2Ffooter.php&theme=Adventure+Journal&dir=theme What do I need to learn?

Hi, As I create the form I am using I have a radio button and it is not reporting on my email. Is there a special tag that I should use? Take a look: http://www.usaglobaltradingllc.com/quote-request/

Hi All, 1.How do you make fields required in a form? 2.What choices are there for visitors to a site, that do not have either Outlook or the Mac equivalent(using some free email provider)?

I read you, my apologies...

Seriously?!? You would not consider your skill set above your market perception? Then perhaps I can help,I can market my-self. Selling a service is easy "if you believe in the product". My problem is that I do not believe in the product that I have. That is why I am here to learn these skills, of web design and development. Time management is one thing but sales is another, I say this to you builtbybison, as helpful criticism, I am not trying to ruffle your feathers but I will encourage you to fly. If you do not believe in yourself nobody else will either.

First, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you to all the admins and moderators for their time and devotion to the Killer sites forum. THANK YOU!!! That said, when you were starting out, if you had to do it all over again, what would you change? Where would you have altered your course to get you, as a freelancer, more profitable?

Hi guys, I was surfing and found a page that I thought maybe I could contact the owner and solicit my services and I found a blank source page....There were misspellings and awkward sayings about the natural content about the sites purpose in general... First guess is to stay away from such potential clients, but why can't I see source code? Anthony

Has anyone heard of Homestead web building service and what is your impression?

Never mind my last...Can you point me to what I need to watch for adding video?

I need to take it out?

What is wrong with this code; <div id="header"> <h1><a href="index1.html">Plantra Tips and Tricks</a></h1> <img src="images/plantra_logo.png width="300" height="100"/> </div><!--ends header div-->

BTW, my next task is to record a video upload to you tube and embed on the Key Notes page. Suggestions on how to proceed?

Sorry...Try that.

ok will do on the topic thing....Anyway the "size" class is about my nettings and boxes page...I want a column for "netting" "boxes" and "size" spread evenly across the page. BTW, welcome back hope your vacation went well....
