I've been teaching myself web design for a while now, and would like to get some experience working on someone else's website (instead of coming up with design specs and requirements all by myself). I'm thinking about offering free site designs as a way to get in more practice, and I wanted to know if anyone had any experience doing this, how to go about doing it, and if it's even a good idea in the first place. One of my biggest questions is where to advertise, and how to describe what I'm offering; I'm already working full-time so I won't be able to work as quickly as a professional, but at the same time I'm willing to spend the time necessary to get the job done well. So, any tips?

I was hoping to use my final website for my Dreamweaver for my actual portfolio site but now that my instructor has given us the required size and usability I'm not sure.

He is requiring us to design for 800x600 screens with 28.8 modems. Is this reasonable? Should I design two sites, one for class and one for the web? Am I just being whiny and unknowledgeable in this?

I'm attempting to grab a web cam image, which has its own server/URL, and display it on a page on our server.

This works:

print ("\n");

But I'd like to grab the file for later saving/manipulating, and also avoid having the auth amd IP info in the HTML source - so I tried:

$camimage = fopen("http://" . $user . ":" . $password . "@" . $ip . "/" . $filename, "rb");

and it times out with:

Warning: fopen(http://...@69.9.5.12:84/IMAGE.JPG) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out on line 24.

Anyone have any clue why? Is it the username/password that's the problem? The explicit port number? (I can't get around needing the authentication, but I might be able to redo to use port 80)

I'm hoping some of you might be able to give me some advice and I'm really hoping I'm posting this in the right place.

I'm helping someone with their website and I did a free analysis on Scrub the Web that mentioned two very glaring problems with regards to getting properly indexed by the search engines. One of them was that the main page has a redirection on it (goes from the regular url to the url with index.aspx at the end) and the other is that it's apparently missing a proper robots.txt file.

Can someone enlighten me a bit more on these two things? Will they really affect search engine performance? And while I know how to go about fixing the robots.txt issue...I'm not sure what to do about the redirection. I personally have no control over whether or not the site gets redirected. So, I pose this question. If the URL is: http://www.mysitehere.com and is redirecting to http://www.mysitehere.com/index.aspx which URL is best to submit to the search engines (or is it better to remove the redirection altogether.

Thanks!

I created a script a while ago that allowed users to upload files to a folder and then update the html page to show the new file and the description given via a form. The users now want to be able to delete items that they uploaded. Naturally this is months after I worked on the script and they want it done today (dammit).
I found a rather nice tool in w2box:
http://labs.beffa.org/w2box/
except I can not get it to work on my server for some reason. Has anyone worked with it? The creators have not responded to my ask for help yet. Is there another script out on the interwebs that allows for file upload, deletion and downloading that is easy to deal with on a Linux/Apache server?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my previous post...you guys are definately a great source of information!

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about the power of one-way links to your webpage. For example, getting links into smaller engines and directories like DMOZ, JoeAnt, Scrub the Web etc. I know a lot of people don't necessarily use them to search anymore but I have heard that having a lot of those sites linking to your site can help improve your rankings in the organic portion of Google and Yahoo! Can anyone let me know how accurate this is?

Also, this is slightly off-topic, but I'm looking for suggestions for FREE photo hosting sites. I use Photobucket but I need to compile a list of user-friendly ones to give to people who are using this website and want to host photos for things like the message board. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Thanks!
