Static Site Generators
@hotpink Thanks, I'll take a look at Middleman. Have you used it? How does it compare to Jekyll?

Country Detection
Looks like I found my solution here: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite They have a simple PHP api and a downloadable database of ip addresses for every city/country. Now to see if this helps cut down the spam, or if they are all hiding behind pr…

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, google analytics tells me that they have their language set as english.

Search for Dangerous File Permissions
I don't seem to have SSH access which could be a problem. Is there any other way to accomplish this (in ftp for example)?

301 Redirect Problem
Thanks for that, the explanation was especially helpful. The code you gave me didn't quite work (I think because it also made page-1.php redirect to index.php, which gave a 404 error) but I was able to solve the problem by deleting the .php fi…

301 Redirect Problem
While that solution would work I'd rather not go that route if possible... My mod_rewrite rules look like this: # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %…

New CSS-Tricks
My screen is 1024 x 768. Horizontal scrolling is required to see the whole site. Dislike.

[Solved] Activating Plugin Makes Admin Screen Go Blank (Wordpress)
Problem solved... here is what happened in case anyone wants to know for reference: PHP was running out of memory, so I increased its memory to 64MB (was 32 before) in wp-config

Editing Live Wordpress Site
Actually, I hadn't thought of that. I have tried making changes locally on my own machine and then moving changes over on other sites but I run into problems with databases and file locations (there seem to be a lot of absolute vs relative lin…

Poll: Your Linux Use
I use Ubuntu for all my website design. Of course, I know more of the technical side than the visual, so its not a huge deal for me to use the GIMP instead of Photoshop. You joke about IE being the missing 'favourite' app. It's cer…

Google font directory
I believe the issue is that XP does not have ClearType enabled by default. If it has been enabled the fonts look fine. Certainly I have tried viewing pages with font-face from my own copy of XP and had terrible results similar to the above screens…

IE6, 100% Width & Centering
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am applying this to block elements (div, h1, etc). If width: 100%; is not set that it has no effect since the element is only as wide as the text itself.

Selling Video On Demand Online
Cool, thanks. That looks like it does everything I need it to do. The only problem is that I'm not using WP for the site so I'm not sure that is the best option. Does anyone have suggestions that don't rely on WordPress? Or would …

Music Studio Wordpress Theme
Hahaha. It appears that I am directionally challenged. It was indeed the RIGHT column that was giving me issues. I still think it would be better to have the whole page scroll, but this is certainly much better.
-
Music Studio Wordpress Theme
I like the the design, but I'm not sold on the fixed positioning. I can't see the entire left column and if I scroll down it just scrolls the text in the center column. So there is no way to see the rest of the sidebar.

Looks pretty good IMO. Work on the spacing on the right sidebar. Especially for the twitter/facebook buttons.

Site Feedback
Running FF 3 on Ubuntu... The Contact Us spills down to the next line. Its not a problem if I make my window wider. I think you just need a slightly larger min-width.

Navigation bar looks different in Internet Explorer.
Okay, the issue is this: In order to go to the proper height the display needs to be set to block. The problem is that by doing this it is just creating another problem. Since block elements have line breaks before and after them they will each go…
-
Navigation bar looks different in Internet Explorer.
Hmm, that is strange. Without any height declaration I can see why I might only make the element as high as the text, but with it I'm not sure why it would still be too small. What happens if you declare "line-height: 50px;" for the…

Thanks for the help Ashton. I've got it nicely integrated with my site's design now.

Very true, very true...
lol. That gave me a good chuckle. Unfortunately it is so very true.
-
Navigation bar looks different in Internet Explorer.
Setting display: block should make them go on new lines, so I don't think that solution will work. Perhaps I'm just missing it, but I don't see anywhere where you define a height for your navigation bar and each of the items in it. …

How can I make a form the same in IE as FF?
Ah, okay. Did not realize. Try taking out the between the inputs. They should display as block elements by default, so they shouldn't be necessary and may be causing the extra space in IE.
-
How can I make a form the same in IE as FF?
I would start by adding "margin: 0;" to your input's css, or maybe even using: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } as a reset at the top of your stylesheet.

Thanks for the tips. Greg, I'm looking at implementing a few of your suggestions, but I'm not really sure what to do about fonts. Is there anything you would recommend? Edit: I have update the picture to my most recent version. Any tho…

Wordpress Alternative
Hmmm, perhaps I misunderstand how WP templates work then. I downloaded some of the simplest templates I could find and was working on them. I was able to edit them to get close to looking like the rest of my site, but they seemed to be very comple…

Wordpress Alternative
Ok, I decided I am willing to upgrade my hosting to use Wordpress, but I'm still not convinced it is the best solution. Ideally I would like something that I could just pop into my existing website. Something that would look kind of like this…
