    Strokes Suck Any Tips?

    Something you may consider is reducing the padding on the nav so that it takes up less of the screen real-estate. Changing the padding on the a.nav:link, a.nav:visited style from 1.2em padding to 0.5em padding puts it to a more "normal" size. You'll probably have to also adjust an a.nav:hover...

    Site for artists to host music (like reverbnation), but simple

    Your best bet is probably to take a look through the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED). It's an extensive listing of useful extensions for Joomla. It sounds like maybe you'll want something along the lines of a Social Networking extension, maybe JomSocial, though I haven't used JomSocial myself...

    Need web site design software wisdom

    Decent rule of thumb (obviously some exceptions will apply): Use a jpg for photo-realistic images. png / gif otherwise (artsy text for example). Also, keep in mind if you're using png with transparency, older versions of IE don't play nice with it. I believe there's a fix for that, but I'm not...

    Help with Creating Backround Image

    Suggestions for my web design

    Overall site looks really good. I'd suggest adding a 3-5 pixel padding between the "Games Feed" text and the RSS icon, but that's a fairly minor detail. Also, you may want to check out the site in multiple browsers. I like the little Share tools area you have, but in Safari 3.2.1 for example...

    need help in jomlA

    Joomla Extensions Directory Your best bet is to check out the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED), a great categorized resource to find extensions for Joomla. You can find it here: http://extensions.joomla.org/ I'm unaware of extensions elsewhere that would do this, so perhaps the JED will...

    IE issure with link colors

    Cool. Happy to help. :) Yeah, it's helpful to write down little tricks like that. Eventually you'll have dealt with them enough that you'll remember, but there's so many little quirks to the different browsers it's nice to have some kind of list for some of the little issues like this.

    New Logo for web design site. Thoughts?

    Logo is very creative in the use of the O and the T. As other commenters mentioned though, it's really difficult to see that it's a monitor due to the background being roughly the same color as the monitor. The logo could easily stand on it's own without the monitor around it, but if you're...

    Firefox & Internet Explorer: I view my site diffrently

    Would need a link to the site to really help with this. My guess is that your html or css is somehow invalid (mismatched tags, mismatched parenthesis, etc), likely near the banner area. Firefox is pretty forgiving and will figure out and correct your mistakes... IE on the other hand doesn't...

    Help with 2 line menu using CSS

    One quick and dirty way to get this done would be to turn it into 4 graphic pieces (Home / About us, Services / What we can do, Portfolio / What we have done, and Contact / Reach Out) and just place the images next to each other. Then make another image of each piece where the text is white...

    Popularity of Dreamweaver

    There used to be a big battle between Dreamweaver and Frontpage. For the most part I think that Dreamweaver has won out, but it's largely an issue of preference. Personally, I think that Dreamweaver is much more useful and user-friendly.

    IE issure with link colors

    Do you mean that the borders around them are always red? If so, try adding border="0" to each navigation img tags. ie: <img width="90" height="58" alt="options" src="../images/navigation_r1_c5.jpg" border="0"/> IE tends to put a border around linked images if you don't specify that it...

    problem with lightbox after hosting

    Hi Kempachi, I took another look, and some of the image links got fixed, but it looks like lightbox still isn't working. This looks like another file path issue. In the source, you're trying to load the scripts from "js/prototype.js", "js/lightbox.js", etc. However, there doesn't seem to...

    problem with lightbox after hosting

    Hi Kempachi, First, the original file path you linked is to a local file on your computer, not a web url. However, going to the second link to to obtp.net website, it looks like a lot of the file path's are incorrect. When you click a picture it's attempting to load it from a obtp.net/pictures...

    CSS problems (IE vs Firefox)

    IE and Firefox render certain elements and CSS differently. You're going to have to play around with either the structure of youre page or CSS. I recommend downloading some plugins for Firefox, namely ietab and firebug. IEtab will let you switch firefoxes rendering to IE so you can easily switch...

    Newbie to web design

    Look into CSS Are you familiar with CSS? CSS is what adds a lot of the styling to a web page. You'll see towards the top of the html file: <link href="/Includes/CSS/UndoHtml.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link href="/Includes/CSS/Common.css" rel="stylesheet"...
