  • How to add members-only pages in the menu? (wordpress).

    Thanks Chris. I still don't see how just checking if you're logged in though is a complete solution since there will be some options in the menu that are public (for everyone) and some that are for members-only. How would you get this to…

  • No brainier e-commerce (for e-books)

    I use e-junkie for an ebook and it is super simple. They give you the html that you just cut/paste into the site. I pay $5 a month but they handle the hosting/download mechanism of the book. It has lots of features. There is also a coupon…

  • Modx CMS... What do you think?

    I did take the time to learn modx and I was quite impressed with it, but it just doesn't have the level of plugins that wordpress has. If I could combine the two, then I would use wordpress for the blog capability and modx for everything else.…

  • ASP.net?

    I've chosen to go with PHP as a freelancer because of the ease in developing with it, but I used to work at HP as a software developer so I can tell you from experience and from what I can see from looking at high tech job boards such as dice.c…

  • shopping cart

    I use e-junkie to sell an ebook and I have been very satisfied with them. They charge $5 a month plus any fees to paypal for the sale, but there is a coupon code for 3 months free. I believe the code is CRAFTBOOM but you can do a quick search on …

  • e-commerce

    I've used e-junkie and it was extremely simple to set up. Their site has a great user interface! I don't have any experience with a more complicated shopping cart however other than installing zencart at home and playing with it. Does…

  • Any opinion on Adobe Contribute?

    Customer has good reasons. I agree that it is the right solution for them. I don't have a problem with dreamweaver; it has some nice features like good support for image maps, etc. You can still hand code by going into code editing mode whic…

  • Opinions on Webhosts?

    I've had great luck with lunarpages.com. If you send them a question, you get a very timely reply. They have great tools and resources and it is easy to find what you want on their site unlike godaddy which has the most horrible user interf…

  • Java Script

    Your routine works for me when I use the following markup. When I click on "China", it displays the first block and hides the second block and visa versa. I agree with Chris that you need to have a live link to your example and you shou…

  • Is it gallery worthy?

    I really like this. The background looks great! I would tweak the contact form a bit -- to me, it looks out of balance. All the weight is on the left. You could try moving the form over to the right a bit or make the input fields longer. …

    Thanks Chris for the tip on E-Junkie. I was looking for a super, simple shopping cart for an E-book download and E-Junkie seems to have good support for ebook downloads. I have installed zencart and prototyped with it before and it is not too dif…
