  • need an opinion

    I broke out firebug earlier today and tried it all the different ways, and the 300 was way too big for my taste. I'm likely going to stick with the 180px because, as you said, the 150px just felt too small for what's over there.

  • my 1st WP theme

    Looks pretty cool. I use WP for everything now, it's just so easy to customize and manipulate. I'm not an expert, but to me it looks pretty good. Your visitors will love it

  • re-redesign

    Thank you guys! I'll work on a new logo, I've been using that one for the last 10 years or so, so that's probably the main reason I stuck it in the design

  • Feedback needed on portfolio site

    I think that maybe if the search bar were somewhere else I'd like the design a little better. Other than that I'd like to point out that you don't have any meta tags in your document, which is going to kill your traffic when it comes…

    Looks pretty good to me. Personally I'd go bigger than 712px in width for the container, but that's just me. Can't wait to see the finished product!

  • CSS not displaying correctly in ie6

    Actually, I just checked, it validates, so you can ignore all that about the conditional comments. I'm not real good with the rollover menus, but http://www.dynamicdrive.com might have a script on it to help you out. Good luck!

  • CSS not displaying correctly in ie6

    I just took a look at it using IETester, and yikes! I don't get just a solid color in IE6, but it does completely destroy the layout, and I have to roll over the main content to get it to show. Even so, most of your navigation links are missi…

  • Feedback Please

    I think it's pretty good, but the "home" link just kinda looks weird, since it's the only one that doesn't wrap. It's not a huge issue, at least not in my opinion, but I just thought I'd point it out.

    I'm inclined to agree, that's a pretty good looking concept there. Can't wait to see it in action!

  • redesign

    that is a pretty cool looking site, but I'm in agreement with Chris that the tabs at the top look a lot like they should be links. I get the design aspect of why they're there, but I think at the very list they should be anchor links to t…

  • Current page nav highlight tutorial on my site

    That is pretty slick. I pretty much did the same thing with PHP if() tags and the WordPress is_home() code. For the pages I was using PHP if() and WordPress's the_title, and named the CSS classes after the pages. Of course, I hacked out that…

  • Align an image using CSS

    this is just a guess, and I could be completely wrong (it's all trial and error for me, so I'm still learning what works and what doesn't); but try this: #sidebar img { margin: 0 auto; }

  • Strange wordpress problem - 'read more'-posts.

    I'm no expert, but it looks to me like you didn't clear your float before your footer. So before you see put See if that works for you.

  • Feedback Please

    looks pretty good. I can definitely see Chris's influence on it. I think the yellow-on-white headers are a little tough to read, and it looks a bit plain, but other than that I think it's a pretty good design.

  • When to use Wordpress and when to not.

    Wordpress is actually pretty good for pretty much anything if you need a website with dynamic content. I just posted my web design portfolio and realized that every site I run, save for one, is done with WordPress, and I'm taking a break from …

  • My Website Needs You

    I've always been a fan of dark websites, but I think the main problem is that your site is too dark. I've been known to use white text on black backgrounds, but I always have something else on the page to counteract the darkness (see http…

    Thank you Chris. I was thinking it was a bit hard to read myself, but wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do, so thank you for the advice. I used a line height of 1.4 and changed the font to Verdana because I felt the serifs were also hinderi…

    As I said, I did one recently. Shouldn't be too hard, almost like riding a bike. TD, TR, and TABLE tags abound. Joy!

    I've been running a site with a wood-texture background for nearly 5 years, and I've done it with the same image the entire time. It's a 78x102px jpeg that's only 2.17KB, it repeats, and it's seamless. Not sure why you…
