So, I was happy to learn that the journal style I chose (Classic: Bruise)  would let me put up links to my favorite websites.

Unfortunately, I'm a discerning web layout person........and hate the fact that all of the links are up towards the top of my main box

       see here: http://korarnithlas.livejournal.com/

So....is there anyway that I can regulate this to my sidebar, perhaps in vertical list form (this would be preferable)?  Or, perhaps under a link titled "Favorites", or some such thing?

Or am I wishing a wish that can't come true?

Hi, I'm new to the site though I've been watching it for a while.
I'm also relatively new at webdesign. I work under Windows XP SP2. (And I'm French, so be kind to my syntax).

I met a weird display in IE 7, images positioned with float:left are partially vanishing and reappearing when scrolling down... 'Partially' means half or a third of the picture becomes more or less transparent.

I searched the Web, found a lot of explanations about HasLayout (which I didn't really understand). Eventually the only efficient patch was to move my pictures from left... to right. Yes, they're correctly displayed now. As my young customer won't be disturbed by this solution I'll hold to it, but I'm curious...
How can this kind of problem of float/display in IE be fixed ?
I'll add the bug occures only in IE7, display is okay (with hacks) in 6, 5.5 and 5.

Second question: I had to use a table (yerk, I know, I prefer pure CSS too) because I couldn't properly fix three columns in various resolutions, browsers and versions - but when displayed in Opera (8 and 7), parts of the text are underlined (like links), but it changes when scrolling down, underlined then not underlined then again... There's no mistakes in the links, the page is xhtml validated.

Hello! I'm here with a request for help.

I've been designing personal websites for about 7-8 years now. Lately I've been feeling pretty unhappy with what I'm creating. Due to being busy with school, I've fallen behind on coding practices and don't really use PHP or newer HTML forms/styles. Coding has always been my favorite part of maintaining sites, so this is a bit stressing (not to mention embarrassing).

However, I am struggling the most with the design aspect of website creation. I'm wondering if any readers/posters here could point me in the direction of resources (eg tutorials, tips, gallery examples) of how to design good graphics. I'm concerned that I'm missing the basic elements of this process, such as what makes a good layout, how to do popular effects in a graphics program, little things of which the designer should be aware, and so forth. I know my way around Paint Shop Pro 7 (that's the limit of my abilities, I'm afraid), so I don't necessarily need an introduction to the tools available... but more or less how to use those tools to create aesthetic graphics.

In other words, any resources available (preferably for free, but if you have a book that'd you'd really recommend I would appreciate that, too) concerning design or possibly PHP would be wonderful.

Thanks so much in advance!

hello the mighty c# developers! so far so good!

I have Repeater with LinkButton

'runat="server" ID="CancelAutorenewLinkbutton">
                                        Cancel Autorenew
                                   



I want this LinkButton to activate the following function

private void CancelAutorenewLinkbutton_click(object sender, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
int PurchaseID = Int32.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
Purchase curPurchase = PaymentManager.GetPurchase(PurchaseID);
}

but I don't know how to register it
I've tried adding to InitializeComponent
this.CancelAutorenewLinkbutton.Command += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandEventHandler(CancelAutorenewLinkbutton_click);

but it doesn't work. I'm getting compilation error. Do you know how to do it?hello the mighty c# developers!

How could I enable a site to receive SMS messages and post the contents to a blog of sorts (similar to LJ's text-message posting)? I understand how this would be done with email, but SMS is strange to me. I assume there's a program out there that listens in on the same protocol used by SMS, then does whatever with the data once it's received. My hackerish idea of rigging a cell phone up with an unlimited messaging plan then writing a Perl script to gank messages from it would probably work, but it won't scale up nicely :).

I'm open to purchasing a product to just drop onto my server, but I have no idea where to begin. If someone could point me in the right direction (tutorials to do it myself or a product to purchase) I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

The situation is this: I am a total amateur. I had built and been running a simple website for an small organization at my university. Everything went fine for 2 years and recently the president and I got into it. Now she's trying to discredit me or something. She claims she took the code for the website to a tech who does web design at where she works and says he said it was the worst written code he'd ever seen.

I'm definitely not at all that knowledgeable, but I don't see what's wrong with it... If the end product is a navigable website how can it be that bad.... I suspect she's making it up...

hi guys,

i am interested in finding someone who is willing to be paid for their time spent customizing a livejournal layout for me. my boss is interested in making a livejournal presence to represent our company. it would be based off our website (which you'd be free to peruse). the graphics would have to be pulled from the website and used in the layout. i'd also request that the color scheme remains identical, as well as most fonts. as far as the actual shape and size of everything goes, you'd be welcome to experiment! i'd prefer to be in contact throughout, so i can see if i dig it.

here is our website: www.thumbmonkey.com

take a look, and if you believe you are interested in this kind of project, please leave a comment here or e-mail me at kerouacstyle@gmail.com (preferred), and we can discuss compensation, as well as the details. (i would post my specific request in this entry but since it's a compensated request i'd rather be in touch through e-mail.)

i may be interested in having three separate layouts done so my boss can choose which he likes best. i could have the same person do all three, or find different people.

thanks!

I was wondering if I could get some input from the community. If you had to describe, in a single paragraph, the type of person it took to be a professional web developer and what the profession was like, what would you say? I've been doing it only for a few years professionally and it seems to me its a field where everything from the customer requirements to the day to day tools can change from one week to the next. And with the wide variety of people/companies that need the services of a web developer, you sometimes end up learning a lot about other fields that may or may not be useful beyond a particular project. Any other thoughts? If you were talking to a group of kids about to graduate college and go into web development, what would you tell them. How would you tell them to prepare for the field? Bonus points if you can put it in the following sentence "Being a web developer is like...".

Thanks!
