  1. Excelent thank you sometimes I make silly mistakes so the comma means and no coma is child of it's parent i'll rember it now
  2. Ok been given a new website todo from my college and its quite a simple site to make although Ive come into a problem near the begining of the building. As far as i know when you display a <li> as inline it sits side by side and if you set it to display as block it sits on top of each other. now I am trying to code the navigation on the top of the site as block(left standard) and the footer as inline although when I use the code footer_navigation,li{display :inline;}. it effects both list even though it should be only the child <li> to its parent footer_navigation I will post the full css code below I sure theres a simple fix to the problem thanks in advance. @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ /* Master function */ *{margin:0; padding:0;} /* Text formating */ p{font-size:1em; padding:10px;} a{} h1{ font-size: 2.5em; padding:10px;} h2{ font-size: 1.5em; padding:15px;} h3{ font-size: 1.5em; padding:10px;} h4{ font-size: 1.2em; padding:10px;} h5{ font-size: 1em; padding:5px;} ul{ font-size:1em; list-style:none; text-decoration:none;} /* Main layout */ body{} #wrapper{ width:1000px; margin:0px auto; padding:20px; background:#060;} #header{ width:1000px; margin:5px auto; padding:5px; background:#039;} #content{ width:1000px; margin:5px auto; padding:5px; background:#9C0;} #footer{width:1000px; margin:5px auto; padding:5px; background:#666;} /* Elements within main layout */ #banner{width:650px; height:200px; background:#0FF;} #navigation{ width:350px; height:200px; background:#F0F; float:right;} #navigation,li{display:block;} #navigation_animation{ width:350; height:200px; background:#F00; float:right;} #introduction_animation{ width:920px; height:500px background:#966;} #pdf{} #table{} #footer_navigation{} #footer_navigation a {} #footer_navigation a:hover{} #footer_navigation, ul {} #footer_navigation,li {display:inline;}

      Your the one of the only ones who does comment sSO I love you :)

  5. I only showed it to make life easier for some people the code isn't difficult to learn once you have used it once or twice it's not a bad thing
  6. Ok ecept for adding correwct spelling and what not both the hompage and the portfoliopages have passed the html markup validation should i do the same for the css validator or is that not as important. I originally made everything to fit 1000 px but now it all at 944px just to fit in with the grpahics im ok with that. Next page is the contact page proberbly the hardest one as well any tips on making a good one haven't gone into great detail with them at colege yet.
  7. Awsome nice find Ok I have fixed the resoloution as far as i can see ment removing the logo from the top nav though. although for some reason I can not find the reason for the horizontal scrolling only happens on firfox workes ok in IE and i'll rember to change my own resoloution during design from now on that way this problem won't happen again. Liv and learn.
  8. ill fix these problems today i have not notice alot of them duie to my pc looking ok with my witdh then when i used my laptop i noticed the whole page moving to the righ I cannot see the borken footer nav but will follow your instructions fix it and in a few hour will gte back to show progress oh and my punctuality is horrible I need to send it to somone else to fix lol ill make a new topic so not to spam this one any more.
  9. Think it might be the server acting up shouldnt be having this problem with the loading of the page
  10. ok fixed the error but i get a problem i want the hover of the logo not to glow but it's following the li a:hover attribute and to be honest looks bad no idea how to fix that but it passed the w3c new link to site g ff e cts. com still takes ages to load thats not the case when you type it in manually might be able to reduce the image quailty to account for the page size no idea.
  11. The first link i gave also took me ages but i correct that so should load fast now ill check it through the validator and correct the ul mistake bare with me 2 mins. ill rmeber that space thing i'm not trying to cause spam just trying to be abtter designer
  12. After reading the rules i notice it wasn't the best idea to add links but here it is website portfolio
  13. Ive noticed there as been no more help on my quest to make a great protfolio I read the rules and if I have pushed any boundries I do apologise all i'm trying to do is establish a good portfolio for when I leave university in the next few years. Due to my redesign I took all of your information in consideration and have finally at long last about 18 hours works finshed still have the other pages to complete though this is what I ended up with. quite happy with it aswell

    SEO

    I recently read abokk on SEO and according to it keywords do not mean anything to goolge whatso ever but still good practise to use them just incase. There is no exact way to improve your SEO just help aide it as such. Google now reads the information on the website itself so correct content will move you up for a start also using header tags in the correct hieracy most imprtant information with <h1> tags and so on. simple things like rembering to give a good description in your alt tages and titles also great for the blind. other ways can include making social networks for your site like facebook twitter and there is a way to connect them all together so when you post on one its posts on them all i'll let you find that out yourself. this means that you have a constant pressence on the web your site keeps coming up and there for moves the site up. also linking from external sites is another great way to help so google recognises that your site has links else where and people are using them. or the other way is pay for it but most people avoid this when the porganic list was there but now they have hidden the organic yellow colour to try prevent this but people will stil avoid the top 3-4 links. hope this helps
  15. Hey guys while browsing the internet last night I came across the CSS3 Generator if you google for it it will come up it's actual really good ill show some screen shots for you. It completly free by the way so I hope it helps you out but watch out becuause not everything is implemented into all browsers you will need to check with w3c to see what works and what does not.
  16. Ok I have been thinking about your advice and this is purley the design just now the coding I will do once i have the mock sorted out, I created this on firworks which I find the best method for creating a mock. I took into consideration about boldness and colour the idea is to try make it professional but show crativity at the same time always tend to be at one end of the slope lol. This is the new idea for the layout of the hompage. if you have looked at my site the picture at the top is the slider. once I have this page done the rest should be easy to make except for the form which is a pain
  17. Thanks Everyone for the great advice I will put it onto tow work today, not sure what you mean by bold text if it is on the about me age I was testing a strategy to gain attention to the text. I reused here here just to stand out The yellow footer is just coloured for moving the container won't be kept. The em class is what i used to contain the icons couldn't figure any other way todo so and yes it has not been through the w3c validators yet. li calss as current is something I wish to work on I have been trying to study navbars individual to see how far I can push the site. Oh and the site is in html bases and something you all missed is it's horrible on IE but I will use your advice and rebuild the whole thing with consistant w3c testing again thanks very much for your honest opinion Heres a question though is it better to make things using the spiral model or the waterfall model so i can either make the whole thing then show and wait for feed back or should i make just the header then the nave bar and show them individual for feed back?
  18. Start with Xhtml and Css like mentioned before they go hand in hand and quite frankly it's a must learn once oyu have that down you need to think about what you want to gain personally I am begining to learn javascript php mysql thus meaning not only can you work the front end of webdesign but also know how to make the functionality of the site login pages and forums etc. Hope this helps.
  19. A BIG HELLO! Guys. This is my first time using the forum found it after watching a few of killersites.com free videos, My name is Harry Abernethy (AKA Gffects[Graphic Effects]) and I am a student at Aberdeen College in Scotland and I am a beginner Web Designer/Amature Programmer and would love to have honest feedback from you here at killersites.com. I am almost through My higher National Certificate so my Xhtml and css skills are quite good even with the poor file managment lol shortly will be moving on to my Higher National Diploma so it would be a great help if you guys can help me out because education pretty much is crap and not fast enough progress. I have a website still under construction and will be working on it as I can so my first feedback comments will be on that so check it out www.gffects.com everything there is homade sample images until I get working on a real portfolio to showcase oh and ignore the writting in the support page its all wrong. So yeh thats me with an introduction about myself and looking forward to any replys and now i'm off to check you all out and give feedback where I can.
