  • A wordpress audio player that doesn't SUCK

    It's not a plug-in, and may take some work getting it into WordPress, but I've used this one in static sites. (should be easy to implement) It's very customizable. http://www.flabell.com/flash/Flash-Mp3-Player-29

  • PHP and MySQL for beginners?

    I believe what you may be trying to ask is how to create tables in MySQL with PHP... So that if someone "installed" your code, they wouldn't have to build the tables themselves... (like with WordPress, or other CMS's, you just cr…

    that is because you have set the background color, and then overwritten it by using the background shorthand.... either move the background-color call after the background shorthand, or add it TO the shorthand... body { margin: 0; padding: 0…

  • Help with allignment

    while I am not entirely sure what is the problem here, you should start with the CSS and TML validators... Both return , many errors in the code... It will be easier to assess with cleaner markup and styles.

  • css bugs in layout

    this wasn't a doubled margin issue. For some reason IE was treating the "bio-img" as block because it was forcing the bio down.. so I wrapped it in a div, and floated the image left. Then I simply floated my two side by side section…

  • jquery select a parent element but not a nested child

    Actually, that targets nothing in my case. It targets an "a" tag that is a direct descendant of the #callout div. I figured this out though, for my purposes using html worked instead of text (turns out Google doesn't translate HTML …

  • Better Pull Quotes???

    Just re-read the article, and noticed that both of the mistakes (missing, closing of the document.ready, and the CSS class pullEDquote) are both in the article code examples... Chris, if you get a chance, maybe you could fix them?

  • How do I markup this from scratch? Wordpress noob asking

  • Change Colour

    the code that Democritus supplied will change the color, as far as when it changes color, you still have to specify that. Without knowing more, like how the div moves, and when it should change color, we can't really offer any more help.

  • Posts on index.php are short by default

    well, if you are not using custom fields for your thumbnails, I would suggest it highly. It makes it very flexible when theming your site. In your case you could do something like add a custom field call "thumbnail-img" and then give it a…

  • Posts on index.php are short by default

    in your loop, instead of using the_content() you can use the_excerpt() (read about it here...http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt) by default it uses the first 55 words (omitting graphics and HTML tags...), but there is a field in …
