I'm in the process of revamping my entire site to a completely new look -- current one is outdated and old in many ways. However, I ran into a snag...how to display artworks/photographs nicely.

What are your thoughts design-wise on the best, professional way to present artworks/photographs?

Right now, what I have is a web page with thumbnails linked to a javascript that opens a new window of a specific size showing the full image when a thumbnail is clicked. I'm tired of it and wonder if I should use something like a sliding bar at the bottom with thumbnails that display the chosen image above it on the same web page?

Examples of sites you know that displays a gallery of images nicely, are useful.

Thanks for your opinions.

And have a nice July 4th weekend. I'm working anyway.

I've started a button exchange for my website and the question has come up as to how do I get the links to open a new window instead of opening in the same one. What the script does is create an iframe based on the user name and then it rotates buttons in the iframe which advertise other sites. I have tried putting the following into the iframe code: src="about:blank" target=_blank target='_blank' target=newwindow target="blank.html"
None of these have done a damn thing. Here is a sample of the code to look at. Any help is appreciated, I need an answer for my user asap :)

Hey all,

I've been brushing up my rusty skills lately while working on a few side project websites. I had a few questions regarding publishing platforms and CMS's. I know a few adopt the technique to style and present via CSS then use a backend management system to manage the content. I see many sites using Movable Type and Wordpress for this and some coding their own CMS's. I'd like to be able to style up the site and structure it however I like, but then have some type of backend to power it all yet be easy to integrate.

• I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for either or perhaps another easy to implement Publishing Platform/CMS to drop into small-medium size web projects? Which one is easier to integrate into a design from scratch and a rich feature set to maintain?



• Another question, anyone know of an open-source equal to something like Basecamp?


*EDIT*


• Reading up on each I've gathered a whole slew of new knowledge. One of the main differences I see now is WordPress' "Template Tags" aren't much more than PHP function calls and Movable Type have a full blown tag system. I am mainly looking at each system now based on their template systems and the template tags ease of use from the stand point of integrating your own desgin into it or creating a site from scratch with it built in. If anyone has switched from one system to the other I would love to hear your thoughts on why and how it worked out for you.

While I'm a big fan of other Adobe products, I have no familiarity with GoLive. This isn't normally a problem, since I either hand-code or use Dreamweaver.

However.

I'm doing some technical editing for an online journal, and an author has written a piece that suggests GoLive uses an odd CMYK notation that uses values from 0-255 instead of the usual 0-100%.

I've tried looking for any reference to such a thing on the Web or in newsgroups, and coming up empty. Any insight into what he might be referring to?

Greetings,
I am currently seeking the Compaq Quick System Restore CD's for the Compaq Presario 1245 Laptop.

I've inherited the laptop as a hand me down, and it's missing all of its original drivers. I've spent days working on the machine, and currently have Win98 running on it, but it's still missing the right drivers. I did all sorts of searching on the Compaq site. Downloading has worked for the audio drivers, but not for the video/monitor driver and others. When the Neo Magic drivers try to install, it has errors. I am fairly certain after quite a bit of research that I need the Quick Restore CD's. Unfortunately, Compaq/HP no longer sells or supports these, and they seem nigh impossible to find on the web.

I figured that someone out there had or has a Compaq Presario 1245 and can help me out. I am willing to pay shipping to get the CD's to me, and even willing to ship them back if needed. I just want to get this poor machine working again.

Hope someone can help ! (x-posted)

Hi there! I am running a Compaq Presario with an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ processor at 2.20GHz and 448 MB of detected RAM (as stated in System Properties).

I haven't had this system half a year, but it has started with an annoying problem. I installed the computer game Diablo 2 about a month ago. After that, the computer started going through these lapses. In these lapses, no executable program will run. Whatsoever. Internet Explorer, FireFox, AOL...the only thing that will open is folders. I tried to "trick" the computer by typing a URL into the address bar of a folder to open Internet Explorer, but it stops responding a few seconds after opening the webpage. Give it about 3 minutes and everything I TRIED to do during the lapse all happens at once, and then it's fine.

I uninstalled Diablo 2, but the problem has not stopped. It's quite annoying. Any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks!
Sean

I recently stepped in to take over my company Web site. I have a design background and have been learning HTML and CSS over the past couple of months. So far, everything is working out well.

The problem is that I can't figure out how the previous guy did passwords on the site. He is reluctant to give me information (probably one of the reasons he's not working with us anymore), but does hand out tidbits a la Hannibal Lecter at times. Recently, he explained that in order to pass-protect a directory which has an ever-changing list of unique users (different login/passes), I have to access the .htpasswd file via Telnet and replace it with a tab deliminated .txt file (first portion is login; second portion is pass). Or something. I can write out the exact process if that helps. I don't have Telnet and am barely able to muddle around in Terminal on OS X.

So I have no idea what he's talking about, or where to go to find a tutorial on it. I'm not sure where .htpasswd is stored on the site -- is there a default location? I'm thinking about replacing the existing method via .htaccess (I've read how to do this) but without knowing the existing method, I don't know how much I'll muck things up.

Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Any advice or direction at all would be most appreciated! I will be happy to clarify; I know this is probably quite vague.

I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure this one out:

I'm using Suckerfish Dropdowns on this website, because I really hated the code that Fireworks and Dreamweaver auto-generates for their stupid drop-down menu "feature."

Open this in IE (I'm using some updated version of 6.0):

(the page)

Here is a link to the same file on a non-php server, so you can see the code:

(the code)

The second menu item from the right, "Teams," is the only drop-down item on the entire menu bar. It works with that link, and it works when "Keyword Index" or "Links & Resources" are selected from the lefthand gray navigation column. However, if you select "Document Index" or use the Search tool, the menu doesn't work. I've rewritten the PHP so that I know the variables used to generate the menu aren't being used anywhere else, and I still can't get it to work. I'm pretty much at the end of my mental resources on this one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey folks, quick one for you. I work at a company that lacks both the resources and the funding to attain professional-quality photos for our website. Right now it looks really dull, and I can only do so much with the low-quality jpegs they've given me. Does anyone know an online resource for no-cost, royalty-free professional-quality photographs I can use? Specifically, we're after pictures of people, preferrably in a rural setting. If it matters, I believe we're a non-profit organization, although I'm not 100% on that. I've looked all over the place for such a resource, but so far my best lead turned out to be a "free" site where you have to buy points to "freely" download photos. Deceptive little practice.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for a free site search feature.

Requirements:

Standard search engine features for a specific web site.
Remotely hosted (no CGI/Scripting of any kind on the actual web site)
Free
No advertising

Bit of a tall order due to the last two. Google do it, with targetted adsense, atomz do it with targetted adsense-like advertising. Both of which are (duh) providing links to our comptetitors at the top of site search on our site (not good). Company of course doesn't want to 1) pay for scripting support on the hosting or 2) pay google 2k a year for adsense free site search.

Anyone know of anything?

Cheers

How exactly does one go about switching hosts?

I've been on Rydia.net's Domain Account for about a year and I'm interested in switching to DreamHost's Managed Web Hosting, but I'm not entirely sure how.

I have the domain and a whole whack of things on it, not to mention a POP3 account that I use for just about everything. Will I have to download everything onto my computer then upload it onto the new host? What about the POP3? And how do I switch domains?

Thanks a lot!

Rock on. <3
