  • Search vs. Homepage

    How does your loop code look like? I can see you have the images wrapped in a anchor tag linking to the appropriate website. However, the link on your categories/searches lead to the post indeed. My guess is your loop code on your home page is diffe…

  • PHP website Layout

    Just out of curiosity - why don't you just use Wordpress? The way I see it, it fits your needs exactly, because as you say, it's a hassle the way you get and include everything now. Using Wordpress you can just use Wordpress' function…

  • PHP website Layout

    Actually that is exactly the way Wordpress does it. The index.php page of Wordpress generally looks like this: first , then it gets all the main content using the loop, after that it sometimes gets a sidebar and it ends with . So I'd say your …

  • Search.

    You can use the function for that. (function reference) Or you can create a search page like shown here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page. Some themes have search forms in it already though, but perhaps if you made your own theme …

    Hmm, it's kinda hard to help you without seeing any code at all. Do you have a live site or can you maybe show some html/css here?

    I have honestly never read a book about html/css/anything-that-has-to-do-with-webdesign before.. I'm not even creating websites professionally, just for fun and sometimes for friends or whatever. I'm sure other people can recommend good bo…

  • Website Design Advice

    It looks nice! Easy to navigate, nice colors. The only thing that confused me a little bit is that the actual content is so far down.. The header is quite big, but I guess for the front page that's no problem - on the other pages though, the b…

  • Footer appears on home.php but not on other pages.

    I think that would be because on your home page, the #footer div is inside your #content div, like you have in your css code: #content #footer { ... } On your parts page, either put the #footer div in the #content div as well or just change your cs…

  • Footer appears on home.php but not on other pages.

    That is because in the stylesheet for the parts page, your only code for the footer is this: p#footer {width:860px; height:62px; margin:5px 0 0 0; background-image:url(images/bottom-bg.png); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat…

  • need help for page background image effect

    Yes, it seems it's done with this jQuery plug-in: bgStretcher. It allows your background image to stretch across the whole page and also has an option for a slideshow (the changing images).

  • Page Wrap/Sidebar Issue

    Let's say you have background_gradient.jpg as the gradient background you want, and it goes from red to green (#00FF00). You can use the following code to first show the image, and then have it look like it fades into the green color of the bac…

  • Extra Space Below Footer

    It did in my browser (firefox).. Perhaps we're looking at different things, can you elaborate which whitespace you mean exactly, maybe using a screenshot, marking the specific area?

    Remove the margin: 38px 0 0; line on your #bottomline div.

    Ok, you have some errors in your html/css. First, you have a body tag in your html 2 times, so remove the first one. Next, right after the line, insert a div with a sidebar id, so: . Also, you have forgotten one closing tag, so add that just bef…

    So is the website you linked your blog? Probably not, as you wouldn't be requesting this functionality otherwise. Can you show us your blog, to see what you've come up with so far? I think the best way to do this would be to put the images…

    I can't really see what you're trying to do here. Can you clarify this for me, exactly what you want to do?

    Can you also show the HTML or maybe even a link to the webpage? It would make helping you loads easier!

  • Image rollover using transparent .pngs

    You could also do it with CSS only, using the background-position property on a :hover state. Or maybe with some opacity? I don't exactly know, I've been without coding for a while.

  • listing comments in wordpress

    Does the error show anything else? Maybe on what line the error is found? Usually it does that I think, maybe you can show us that line of code as well?

  • Google+ Invites

    Apparently, you can't edit it, it seems they disabled that function. Just look up "google profile edit date of birth" and you will get lots of results of people saying they can't edit it. Interesting..

  • Google+ Invites

    Oh I might have been unclear. I think they are getting it from your google profile.
