  1. Dream Host has some killer plans!http://dreamhost.comI'm going to get some from there soon and use it to also host my clients websites.As for Server side code...definitely PHP. Theres a whole lot more PHP support out there than there is ASP. I know because I learn't ASP then moved to PHP and I have never regretted it!
  2. Well lets use Google AdSense as the example.Website owners pay Google to put an ad of their website in the system.Google then adds them into the AdSense system.The Ad is displayed on your website by a content match up (complex stuff). Each (i think) 1000 impressions/views of that Ad gives you some small cents. Each unique click then gives you some more cents.Google makes their money from only giving you a tiny part of what the ad owner paid Google. Now theres like a whole bunch of calculations to speculate how much you get per click or 1000 impressions which no-one except Google knows.So basically you get paid nothing (well something...I get $30AU per month from Martin2k) from having adverts while Google buys billion dollar companies (ie GooTube [YouTube] ) :)Wikipedia can probably explain it better if you type in AdSense or something.
  3. Works fine in my FFox. you might want to use max-width instead of min-width if its too big.
  4. Simple :)Just add: To the CSS for #linkList2 and #containerWorked in my Firefox
  5. Thats good to hear Lol don't we all :)Funny thing is I dont have enough time to make myself a website I am too tied up in school and at work...soon tho I will make my own site for Xenon Design Australia :blink:Also just for some rummaging....if you want to see some of my work I have done (mostly designs in PS for my own website), heres a list...a short one :http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...e_28Dec2006.pnghttp://www.x10hosting.com/forums/attachmen...mp;d=1167549591http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...t_27Jan2007.jpghttp://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...gn/concept2.pnghttp://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/Xen...gn/concept1.png
  6. The design is still not right. Heres a few things I think about when im making a site design in Photoshop:- Is it easy for me to put together efficiently and quickly?- Does it portray what the site is about?- Is it easy on the eyes ?- Is it easy to navigate?- Does it appeal to users to look through the rest of the site?- Does the content _flow_ together?Your design is a little to involved. The drop shadow seams out of place and doesn't fit with the rest of the site. The content and font is just all the same...try mashing it up a bit with different fonts (basic fonts, not flashy ones). Also in the modern internets the design style seams to be going towards simplistic. So maybe some more whitespace would be good? Remember you don't have to fill every pixel Look and go through that Web 2.0 tut and do some surfing on websites like http://www.webcreme.com to see some pro sites.I hope this helps you to making an awesome website.
  7. Simplest way is to explain it like IPB. You can manage the 'global' HTML output of the site like the title image etc.Also CMS comes under content as well. So you _could_ call a Blog a CMS. But if you have seen and used Joomla thats basically what a CMS is.So basically a system in which content (text, images...anything) is easily manageable thus the name, Content Management System.I hope this helps you
  8. How about using some Web 2.0-ness? Theres this great tut on Web 2.0 at http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/web-2....style-guide.cfm
  9. Just a suggestion. Arrays would speed up the replace process also save lines. Use arrays to store the before and after effects of the tags. $bbcode = array('[b]' => '<b>', '[/b]' => '</b>');foreach($bbocode as $tag => $html){$text = str_replace($tag, $html, $text);} That will make it easier for you to insert and parse code.
  10. I'm back to W3schools now after well...forgetting about it.Now I have changed to PHP and I am moving with the AJAX crowd as well. I'll be a regular around here from now on helping in the PHP, AJAX and SQL sections.My code lang. knowledge now extends to: HTML, CSS, ASP PHP, XML, Flash ActionScript, Javascript, AJAX, SQLAnd I now design websites using the latest Web 2.0-ness and NO TABLES, 100% DIV tags :)I also now have a job as a website and database dev-y on the weekends for a graphic design firm.Ill catch ya round,Alex
  11. I did some google-ing but i just wanted to see if there is anymore. Thanks for the submissions guys. I already have it
  12. Apart from the tutorials here is there any other place where you can laern AJAX?Please post urls. Thx

    logon_user

    If you have XP and you logon under your user it will show you that username. It has nothing to do with user session variables.
  14. Could you post your code you use to INSERT the data to the DB.
  15. Youll have to use a server side code. Either ASP or PHP will do the trick. Which one you choose is up to you. Both of those coding languages have their advantages and disadvantages.
  16. And make sure the action in the form tag is set to 'Post'

    calling via voiP

    I dont think its possible to do it from a website. Youll have to mabye do it in VB or C++
  18. Xenon Design

    hello

    It wont happen. The include file wont execute by having it on the 'onClick' funcYou may have to rethink a way of doing this
  19. Hey,So I can get started helping...how experienced in ASP are you? To do something like a Firenster code you should know the basics.
  20. Basically use the fontas that you had preset on your computer. If you use a cool font you downloaded and I dont have it, it will show as Times new roman...the fonts I use that are compatiable on all OS's is Tahoma , Verdana and Arial...they are basically on every PC and Mac

    Array

    Nothing you will reach
  22. Well if you see the timestamp of this message this is when im on sometimes...I talk to a friend in te uk easily after school(my school ) or add 8 1/2 hours to it and thats when im out of school
  23. Since theres a demand for people wanting to know how to submit their site to search engines heres the places to go to submit em.Google - http://www.google.com.au/addurl/?continue=/addurlAlso Google has information about how to optimise your results on searches and how to get a good rankYahoo - http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/requestFill in the bottom input field not the top one. I think you may have to register with Yahoo (a Yahoo account) to be able to submit.If you want me to dig up the 'Submit a site' url for another search engine just post a reply with the search engines url and ill get on it.*Oops I spelt search wrong in the title...can a mod or admin plz change it...thx*Done.
  24. Question 1: how can i improve my website on search enginesAnswer: Meta tags and content placement. When the Google bot views your page it looks at two things. Meta tags and your content. If on your first page you describe about what your site does etc. youll get a good rank but the bigger websites always end up top. For more info go to: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.aspYou can also put your site on the google 'to view' list: http://www.google.com.au/addurl.html---Question 2: what size my background of the site have to beAnswer: There is no set answer. People have different sized monitors set at different resolutions. So you might have a problem. If your having a repeating image in your background try some css tutorials on w3. Heres the link to the css tuts: http://www.w3schools.com/css
