    Let us think

    web design - where is it headed?

    I wish web design was more predictable. I happened to LOVE Adobe GoLive before I was pushed into using Dreamweaver by my university. I like Dreamweaver now, but GoLive was freakin awesome. The grid feature beat the crap out of AP DIVs.

    Parallels Desktop for Mac

    I'm not sure that an upgrade to 4.0 is necessary. Try reinstalling first. I've heard so many times that XP is more solid than Vista, but I'm not sure. Vista has a strong list of complaints, but I'm beginning to think that most of these complaints are made by people who don't know how to use...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac

    "Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems." - Linus Torvalds Windows can get buggy. This just happens once in a while, no matter how you you launch Windows. Is it possible to just try a reinstall? I use parallels, and never had this problem(using XP).

    Nixell's Art

    I think the color, layout, and artwork are pretty cool. It's also easy as pie to navigate. No confusion with the labels. For some reason, I'm not a fan of the font choice, particularly in the navigation. It's kind of chunky. The first-letter-green theme for the navigation is alright. Are...

    No "pointer" cursor on dropdown menu on firefox.

    Is your dropdown menu using javascript? If you created the dropdown menu in dreamweaver, then first open up your javascript file, and find code that looks like this: l.style.cursor = "hand"; menuCount++; and change it to this: l.style.cursor = "pointer"; l.style.cursor = "hand"...

    mp3 player question

    My first question would be, why do you want music on your site? Is this for a client that wants it? I ask this because there are some issues when adding music to a website. Namely, visitors don't like it. There are few things that make me click the back button faster than unexpected blaring...

    Got fave website design resources?

    While I agree that experience is great, I left my university with a full portfolio, business cards, logo, letterhead, self-promotion ideas, alternative portfolio, and some great contacts. One of our assignments was to volunteer to create a web site for a particular group on campus, and we...

    Use javascript or flash?

    Flash may be independent of the browser, but there are still a lot of people that don't have the current Flash player. Of course, you can export the SWF to be compatible with older Flash players, but this doesn't always happen so easily if you are using the current version of actionscript...

    Hi everyone, Does anyone here have a preferred method/site for submitting their sites to search engines? I see a number of sites that say they will submit to a number of different search engines, but I'm not sure which one would be the best. Thanks in advance, Louis

    A few Joomla Questions

    Okay I have 2 more questions. 1. Many times, a client needs a very fine tuned change to my html sites, like moving up a text box or adjusting margins. Is Joomla short sighted when it comes to this? In other words, are the templates very restricting? I would hate it if a client asked me to do...

    A few Joomla Questions

    A few Joomla Questions, So I have been experimenting with Joomla lately, and I must say I love the extensions, but I am left with a few questions. Are there any free Joomla templates out there that do not require you to reference the original designer or Joomla in any way? Where can I get...
