    Banner that expands on rollover?

    jQuery would work just fine. I prefer to use the ddlevelsmenu.js, which you can find here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddlevelsmenu/index.htm -Lou

    Help Please (complete beginner - stupid question)

    Huh? When I was born they put an <ankle> tag on me :) But to the OP, I would definitely use Dreamweaver to embark on your journey here. At least, it will generate the bulk of gibberish for you. You'll learn from the code that gets generated for you when you place elements into the design...

    Question for SEO people

    Thanks for confirming my original guess. I think that b/c the client is actually a close friend, with whom I agreed to do the site for free, he just wants me to fix the screw-ups for free so that he doesn't have to go to his SEO expert and get billed. I'm going to bring up this issue with him...

    Question for SEO people

    Just to clarify.. The client claims that the SEO expert has no access to any of the files uploaded via FTP.. He says that all of the SEO work is done on "their end." I think the client is either lying or being ripped off. What do you think? Thanks for your responses BTW, -Lou

    Question for SEO people

    Ok, So I have a client that used me to build his site, which was made in joomla. He then hired a separate SEO expert, unbeknownst to me. Every since then, whenever these SEO experts change something, something goes wrong with the site. It got the point where the client would text me and say...

    Which Collage program looks best

    Well think about the 4 year vs. 2 year. On the surface the 4 year degree looks solid, but by the time someone finished a 4 year degree, someone who started at the same time with a 2 year degree will already have 2 years experience in the field by the time the 4 year degree is finished. In this...

    Split text/video synced presentation

    You may want to try After Effects instead of Flash, actually. It'll produce better output and, while After Effects DOES use a timeline, it doesn't demand much knowledge unless you want to do advanced things. Also, importing and exporting with AE would be a breeze. Then again, using After...

    Newbie web designer's questions about template usage

    I've been going the template route for my past 4 clients, and it's been very rewarding. I just took $150, went to themeforest, and downloaded 5 templates for the first client. I let them choose one. As for the other ones that I downloaded, it wasn't wasted money at all. They were great...

    Email this page

    Oh ok then. It's rather simple: Add this js: <script language="javascript"> function mailpage() { mail_str = "mailto:?subject=Check out the " + document.title; mail_str += "&body=I thought you might be interested in the " + document.title; mail_str += ". You can view it at, " + location.href...

    If you were teaching web design

    Exactly.. That's why the curriculum is a sort of hybrid between what we call web design and graphic design. -Lou

    Email this page

    Hmm.. If it's on another web page, why not copy/paste the URL in an e-mail? -Lou

    If you were teaching web design

    So have any of you had experience teaching web design to students (Intro level course an a university)? I've taught a few courses in philosophy, upper level, but I now have the chance to teach graphic design.. I have a curriculum set out for me, I'm just wondering what you think of it, as I'm...

    Ridiculous client experiences

    anna you're awesome. Anyway, I was wondering if people can post experiences that they've had so that newbies can learn from them, or as you say -- not to get bullied (it was required that I take an Intellectual Property Rights class at my Uni, for a good reason). I was bullied once or...

    72 or 300 pixels per inch?

    Am I charging too little?

    Ok. For me it completely depends on the type of site they want (what sort of features are needed), the amount of pages they need, their budget (feel free to ask for this upfront), and the type of client. I say type of client because some are 100X easier to work with than others. Some are just...

    Launched a new design gallery

    Although, as said above, this belongs in the Website Reviews section, I'll add my 2 or 3 cents.. It's simplistic to a perfect degree. The thumbnails are a bit more than the regular thumbnails we always see. I can roll over them and see some information about them. This is a lot better than a...

    Nav menu positioning for IE6

    Ahh!! Another IE6 problem has led yet another designer toward alcohol... I wonder if Microsoft has found any correlations between developing for IE6 and alcohol use -- wouldn't surprise me! I'll drink this 64oz beer in your name. I love my "No, I will not fix your computer." shirt. But...

    I use dreamweaver split-view all the time. I used to use GoLive, but Dreamweaver is just amazing for file organization. -Lou
