If your serious about going freelance then you'll want to consider registering yourself with an agency. I used to be with Orchard, with rates around £16 - 18 an hour payed weekly, but this is dependent on your skill set(s) / level. You'll need a good portoflio of work / examples to get registered though.

Have you tried something like... define('SELF', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '#guestbook_id'); This should work for the View link... the other one will be tricky cos' of the querystring on the end!

In php if you want you need to escape the ' character with a backslash '\'... So if I wanted to print out the string "Son's Birthday Welcome" I'd do... <?php echo 'Son\'s Birthday Welcome'; ?> Other wise, the ' before the s on "Son's" would be treated as the end of the string. Hope this helps you? A

I know I know, I've been quiet for a while - Don't hurt me... Will definately be implementing this code into my sites - simply yet effective I bet! A

Great tip! Will have to try this later!

Hi JohnR ASP.NET is the latest version of ASP. It's just Microsoft trying to make it sound more exciting For example, PHP just had versions like PHP 4.0, PHP 4.1, etc

Yoink! Thanks for the link

Well, I've been using ASP for about 4 years now. I've recently started using PHP, but this was only because of updates to existing client sites. I've never had to say 'No, you can't have that' to a client because of lack of support in ASP. I suppose its down to what you prefer to code in. The only thing I will say against ASP is the fact that because it's not open-source like PHP, there are times when you might need to buy a 3rd party add-on like 'ASPJpeg', etc.

I've heard/read that Google doesn't use Meta tags anymore... anyone know if this is true?

Heh, only pulling your leg. Don't know what I'd do without my iPod... travelling wouldn't be the same (ie. boring!)

Is there a stand alone version of IE7? I've got Beta installed as a stand alone so it doens't screw with IE6...

Hope not! In theory it should still be firefox, that is, if your visitor 'type' doens't change. I'm Firefox, but like most others use IE5.5, IE6, IE7, Opera, Safari, etc when testing
