Have you checked that $_GET['category'] is actually returning something?

Well in my experience the lower down IT guys in the last company I worked for just kind of took an interest. Become familiar with building and fixing PC's and Microshaft software, And Citrix, Sharepoint, that kind of thing. Servers. These guys came in with a rough understanding and were kind of trained on the job or handed a manual and some time to work it out, so if you're lucky you'll get a company taking on "juniors" where you could do this. If you take on this stuff as a semi-hobby, you'll eventually know just about enough to get you in as a junior, same as you can do in Web Design. Then hopefully you learn on the job under your own steam and also have seniors that can teach you a few things. Oh and get used to taking 3 hours for the person you're trying to help suddenly discovering they've typed their password in wrong. Or not switched a plug socket on. And get used to kicking things. That sometimes helps.

I'd have the spacing inbetween the close and far apart spacings you've done. Also, on last design, letters too close to edge of circle. Make circle slightly bigger. Anyone else noticed that on the last one, you get a slight optical illusion of the text fish-eyeing slightly?

I prefer a good lightweight IDE like Netbeans, for the reasons given above.

One point is always use the user id, not the name. This allows multiple unique users with the same name. So you could have 5 John Smith's, but if you always refer to the id of the user rather than the name in your queries, it keeps them seperate. You probably knew that already.
-
Along the lines of a seperate table with columns "comments" and "UserId" or whatever you want to call them which can store as many comments as you like, with the user's id that posted them alongside them. The UsersId column would then match up with the ID column in your users table. And whatever other columns you want in the comments table, like date posted, etc. Then you could write some sql queries which linked the two tables together by use of the "ID" column in both tables.

Under what circumstances might they "come across your site" on google? First, they would have to type in relevant keywords which would no doubt be pretty specific. Second, your site would have to appear on page 1 or possibly 2 of google, which is pretty unlikely with all the competition, not to mention the correct keywords would have to be typed.There seems to be a certain breed of person who thinks that the first page of any search result on google is infinitely long, for some reason. Why I bother posting on this complete spam of a thread I'm now beginning to wonder...

Those url's have come out shortened and formatted. If they're not clear, look about halfway down "parameters" box on this page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo

The code is giving you the absolute url of the image. php bloginfo('template_url') + /images/banner.jpg effectively, where "bloginfo('template_url')" refers to if I remember right the base folder of your template. So if that's say "http://example/home/...ifeguard-theme" then this plus the image banner bit would equal "http://example/home/...lifeguard-theme + /images/banner.jpg" which equals http://example/home/...ages/banner.jpg - That is the url that will be parsed for your image. So looks like an images folder within your "lifeguard" theme folder within your "themes" folder. Obviously lifeguard = the theme you are working with. That was what you were asking, no?
