    How to make it easy to make site wide changes

    <?php include('path/to/included/file'); ?> - If your host doesn't support SSI, you always have the AJAX option (jquery, prototype, etc.)

    I think I'm done...

    Since you're using a solid bg color for the page, you should be able to change the png to jpeg without sacrificing resolution... Just set the background color of the image to the same hex you'll be using on your page...

    Great job April - love the design! ps. - don't preload the background image - just optimize it

    Adding photo page

    The error you're getting is what happens when referencing a php var without the php engine... You could install Apache, MySQL, & php separately to set up your testing environment, or just use a stand alone testing server to keep things simple (I use Joomla Stand Alone Server)

    photoshop/dreamweaver

    The first thing you should check is your export resolution - always make sure to find a good balance between image compression & quality. The bad quality you mention is most likely a case of the jaggies caused by exporting a low quality jpeg. To fix this, after your image has been sliced &...

    Jon Needs Our Help!- Please Review ;)

    Quite the contrary- the original page was a pretty harsh critique of the laughable McCain/Palin ticket - I took that page down and replaced it with the current banner after too many people missed the point (i.e. voodish)

    What do you think of my site?

    Looks ok Daniel, but would benefit from a couple of changes... The header doesn't fit with the rest of the site (try changing the color to dark blue-gray) and the side-information bar on the right seems a little out of place... I'd start change those elements first, to give the pages more of a flow

    How can I edit a website that is already live, locally on a mac?

    Regardless of what program you use to compose your html, the process is the same. 1. Download the pages you'd like to edit from the site server (filezilla is great for this) 2. Make changes in the editor of your choice (text editor or DW) 3. Upload the edited site back to the server

    Style sheet/script question

    How is your back-end set up? Are you using ASP/PHP/Ruby? What about a db? The best way to do this is to insert the article into your db, query the db using your server-side script, then return the desired data set, ORDER BY DESC LIMIT 4

    my first website

    I think your separate pages are unnecessary for the amount of info they contain... I'd do away with the extra pages and just use an index page with modules to display content.

    Fully Dynamic Nav bar help

    as & js are both ECMA scripts, and therefore quite similar. I think the js version would be best - the links can be followed by SE's, and you won't have to worry about whether or not the user has the correct plugin. Go with AS if you're going to do anything really advanced (transitions...

    I need to pick a domain name and host, Help

    When choosing a domain name there are 2 factors to keep in mind: memorability & SEO. By keeping the domain name short & pertinent, people will directly link to your url. The search engine factor has to do with search terms appearing in the url, i.e. www.pc_art.com is probably more relevant...

    Published sites with FrontPage, and now 1and1 doesn't support Frontpage Extensions!

    Since you just need to change a small detail, the easiest thing to do will be to edit the html directly and re-upload the modified page to your server. 1. Download the page in question via ftp 2. Open the html page in notepad 3. Look for the information you need to change- the phone number...

    Fully Dynamic Nav bar help

    Whether this project is within your reach depends on your concept of "beginner" - are you familiar with html? js? other coding experience? If you're completely new to coding, this project will probably be out of your league & you should seek some pro help. JC's dead on with the js...

    Worst Ripoff i have ever vitnessed

    It really comes down to what's in the contract between your boss and the developer... Yes, the site is overpriced for what he got, but it's what he agreed to. Also, since you're unsure of whether or not it's a good idea to use tables for the layout & you don't "have the creativity", I'll...

    Review it

    Um... I think what all of us have been trying to get through is <code your site> You got rid of the images by deleting your site, which is a good 1st step. Now develop the site, then ask for a review.
