    Our PR4 Blog

    I just commented on one of your articles as it's actually relational to something I've just done. It's a nice clean design, I like that about it.

    New version of my personal site!

    It's looking good! Check the scroll on different screen resolutions though as on 1400x900 and 1024x768 I can't see the scroll buttons unless I scroll down for them.

    Problem with PHP $_POST

    When you refresh a page the browser will resubmit the form (all your post variables) automatically, this can't be changed. Workarounds are: - Storing a session variable unique to the form so you can tell if the form has been submitted more than once. - Taking the user away from the form...

    Confused about Site Maps :/

    Have a look at GSitecrawler, you give it a domain name and it generates Google/Yahoo friendly sitemaps automatically.

    using my unused/for sale domains for seo?

    As long as each isn't a replica of the last it'll help, but not by much. These empty domains will have a low PR, but if they are there you might as well use them.

    mySQL/PHP - store cell value in variable

    When it returns a resource ID it's because you still need to apply another function to get the information you need from the resource. Add this: $teacher_rows = mysql_fetch_row($teacher); $teacher_rows = $teacher_rows[0]; If you are expecting more than one row in the result you...

    What should I do befor I hire a webdesigner?

    Shortlist local reputable companies with good portfolios and approach them. Research other dating websites and pick out features you would like. Look into Search Engine Optimisation, Content Management Systems and the algorithms used in the dating industry to match people up. Look into...

    Best colleges for Web Design/Development?

    Web design is part of a broader spectrum of subjects that most colleges/universities include as a module in their curriculum. For example I did web design as a module (only 12 hours) in a 3 year university course in Computer Science. It might be worth looking at computing courses where...

    What is actually CMS?

    It is although it is forever becoming more versatile with the many plugins available for it these days. Either way it's a CMS non the less!

    Web Design Tender

    I would always be wary of websites like that, but if they don't lock you into a yearly contract and you can get away with trying one month for £15 and jumping ship if it's rubbish it might be worth a try.

    HTML Insite text editor

    Likes like you are looking for a WYSIWYG editor like TinyMCE. It just hooks onto a text area and transforms it into what you need.

    SEO vs. website traffic

    Being first on Google is not everything, I find that sometimes I can better invest my time using social networks to drive traffic rather than trying to get a No1 spot on Google

    email system

    Look at tinyMCE as an editor, it's open source and free. As for the archiving bit, if I used a website page as an example: Have a table with all your website pages in it then have another table with the content in it. The table with the content in it stores the page id, the content and a...

    Programming

    I never understand why other web developers feel the need to know both PHP and ASP, jack of all trades, master of nothing comes to mind. You will only ever need to use one at a time, 99% of the time clients don't care how it's done so long as it works. I've not yet had a client that has told...

    Large Scale Website Design

    It might be worth looking at an open source cart CMS like magento, you don't sound that versed on PHP or ASP and having a project like that to learn from will probably overwhelm you a bit. www.magentocommerce.com/

    Contact Form + Upload Form in One

    It's probably best to submit all the data in one go to avoid the client uploading stuff to your server and closing the page before they send an email. http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html Just take the files do all your normal verification and send the email if every thing's in...

    Feedback on my personal site!

    Looking fairly nice, the only thing I would suggest is that a lot of sites with your sort of one page set up tend to use JavaScript scrollers (look up jQuery) to navigate to a div/page, it makes it smoother. Good job though!

    Would you review my website ?

    Looks fine on my multi screen set up, one of my monitors is horribly calibrated and it actually makes it look fairly washed out retro so there's nothing to worry about.
