    Link showing up as missing image.... Joomla's fault?

    This is a pretty old site that I did when I just started using Joomla (the site was free for the client too).. Anyway, for some reason, no the home page (http://tinyurl.com/268bap7) one of the facebook links is just represented as a box with a '?' in the middle. It looks just find in FF on Mac...

    Should I worry about compatibility with IE6?

    Then I suppose that there is room for both types of designers -- those that cater and those that try to push technology forward. Not to say that one is nobler than the other, but who else, after all, is going to help get rid of the technological fossil that is IE6? We have to allow the average...

    adding photo gallery in dreamweaver cs4?

    Once you extract the lightbox download, you should leave those folders intact and upload them to the same directory as the html page. You then follow the instructions in the "How to Use" guide here: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ Hope this helps, -Lou

    Should I worry about compatibility with IE6?

    Shouldn't it be our side-job? If we cater toward IE 6 users, then we can please a larger number of people, but it is at the expense of displeasing the current technology zeitgeist. -Lou

    adding photo gallery in dreamweaver cs4?

    I would strongly recommend implementing a simple photo gallery using lightbox (just google it). It's remarkably simple to use, and pretty elegant-looking to anyone who's never seen it before. -Lou

    Time to create your own favicon

    I'd say that the overwhelming majority of us know what a favicon is and how to make one. If we didn't, we'd probably google "how to make a favicon" and find the easiest tutorials in the world -- but thanks for promoting a product called Favigen, which sounds a lot like some sort of vaginal...

    Resources for Learning Web Design

    I'll hold back my free lynda.com tutorial b/c this is your thread and I'll respect your request. You are certainly right about so many people coming here to ask "Where do I start?" And by all means, this should be a sticky. BUT, your hostility toward my tutorial, or at least toward my...

    which version of Photoshop should I get?

    Content aware fills are f*cking amazing. I used to use PS for just cropping, optimizing, etc. but I can now tell clients "Yeah sure I can take that out for you" without using the damn clone/stamp tool. CS5 for the win! -Lou

    Bottoms of fonts cut of in Dreamweaver (with letters like y,g,j etc.)

    Yeah really... Is this only happening in DW's design view (which isn't perfectly WYSIWYG), or is it also happening when you test the site? -Lou

    Editable search box?

    Well the code would have to go in your HTML page. I've never used Fireworks, but doesn't it just generate an image and/or slices? I don't think you can make an image turn into a text field by clicking on it. I think you may just have to play by HTML's rules and generate your search box that way...

    Copy to print

    Anyone with a certain amount of software proficiency can get rid of that watermark and/or take a low-res screen shot of the site (and screen shots will not include any metadata). Two possible hopes for you: 1. Using js, you can detect keystrokes and act accordingly...

    Adding template sites to online portfolio?

    Hello, Would anyone consider it unethical (or is perhaps illegal) to include a site or two, created by a template but heavily modified, on your online portfolio? What about sites created with Joomla using one of Joomla's themes? Many thanks, -Lou

    Advice needed on web design plagiarism

    I'd either (a) stay away from this guy because he sounds like an idiot, or (b) tell him about all of the downsides of using Flash. Telling a client that their site will not show up on an iPad or an iPhone will usually give them some incentive to consider an HTML version. Or maybe (c).. Accept...

    Why is the body text covered by the css box?

    Why is the body text covered by the css box?

    Two things that you might want to change are your use of absolute positioning (refer to one of PixelPisher's Sticky's for positioning DIVs) and the way you define your class. You say : class = "l-column" but in your CSS, you say: #l-column The # sign designates an ID, not a class. It...
