    People Hate My Logo

    I like some of your other logos, but I don't like that one. That being said... (1) With your site, graphics, web presence, etc... are you catering to yourself? Or are you catering to prospective clients? If yourself...then who cares what anyone else thinks? However, I suspect it is the...

    Do you need an IDE for web development?

    I don't consider myself "seasoned." That being said, I use http://www.sublimetext.com/. It's fairly popular among "seasoned" developers.

    Should I Study Java Script

    Yeah, you should think of DW as one of the tools that can be used to develop a website. It's definitely handy, but I think it is important to go beyond that. I'm certainly no expert and I have a lot to learn myself, but I am confident in what I do know so far, that the following statements...

    Hello World

    I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. What do you mean "makes the background non-existent"? Maybe you are referring to the white space around the image itself? If so, that's because the image may not have a transparent background (that's a graphic issue, not coding issue)...

    Best Way to Have a What's New Section On A Website

    IMO, a WP install/theme would be the easiest, and probably look the best. You don't need to know code to run a WP site, it's all back end, just point/click, drag/drop, create content like you would in MS Word. Themes can be simple or they can be complex. You could use a theme with several...

    position a div below a fixed top div.

    Great explanation, thank you. Combining yours and the explanation from another designer (CSSgirl) and spending some time just experimenting (perhaps one of the best ways to learn), I was able to add a nav bar and fixed footer as well. http://jsfiddle.net/Apokalupsis/F4nyf/4/ However, I do...

    position a div below a fixed top div.

    A couple things... It isn't merely a fixed header. It's a fixed header that anchors to areas of the same page and does so only using CSS (no JS or JQ). Also, doing this specific task may not be tricky to the more seasoned designers, but obviously it is tricky enough to the op to create a...

    position a div below a fixed top div.

    Ah! Ok, now I get what he's trying to achieve. I missed post #3 earlier. Can that be done with CSS only? I know it can with CSS + JQuery. I've also done a similar thing for a clickable bg image displayed in the lower right of the window (with CSS only). But having a header do that with CSS...

    First experience with WP... I miss notepad ++...

    You misunderstand. You don't have to "share" a theme with anyone. You simply install the theme (if you own it) in a subdirectory on your site/server then grant someone access to the admin area to check out the settings. Of course, if you don't know how to install it, that may be an issue and...

    First experience with WP... I miss notepad ++...

    Each theme works differently. In some, this is controlled by the theme options itself...in others, you have to mess w/ the code. There is no "universal" solution to the problem because there are too many issues that could be causing it thus, too many solutions to offer. You'll need to be more...

    position a div below a fixed top div.

    Which browser are you using? In all that I've tested it in, it stays at the top of the window. Also, I'm not sure why you'd want the top banner to be "fixed" positionally anyway. It doesn't seem like it takes into account the various resolutions out there that people use. Here's a wireframe...

    position a div below a fixed top div.

    Works fine if you remove the position: fixed; from the #top-banner http://jsfiddle.net/Apokalupsis/dcacM/2/ Tested in: Chrome v28 IE 9 FF v23.01

    Dreamweaver background image help

    I wanted to see if I could make it a little more "semi-responsive" (it isn't true responsive design as this is just a quick little wire-frame focusing on how to do the bg image after all). Check out this better way to do it (with slight modifications from above)...

    How do you make a webSITE?

    A great resource for learning web design is www.udemy.com. There are numerous design courses their under 1 house, written by numerous instructors, professors, training sites, etc... It's a "collective" if you will. 2 of the big names there for web design are "Robert Farrell" and "Infinite...

    Problems with my contact page?

    I fixed it using empty field validators in the php. I would have edited the above post if I could have, but it went into moderation and didn't appear until too late. I found out that only a couple browsers recognize the "required" attribute (since it is HTML5). I used it, so it helps on the...

    Dreamweaver background image help

    Here's a solution (there may be more than 1) with the theory and best practice to explain what is happening and how to prevent it. ------------------------------------------------ I can understand the confusion. It is with the "body." You have to keep in mind that the "body" element contains...

    Problems with my contact page?

    Thank you for responding so quickly! However, re: concatenating via ".", isn't that just another way to format the php? That is, I don't understand how it would have any effect on it. Also, playing around a bit with JS, turning it off does seem to reproduce the result (of having empty...

    Problems with my contact page?

    Just an odd thing here. I don't know if my contact page form is having an issue or not. When I test it (in all major browsers), it woks fine. When I comb over the code, it looks fine. Yet, I continue to get emailed from this form, where the text fields are blank. This is a problem of...
