If you're not already checking this blog out, you really should be.
 
It's written by a bloke who has to be one of the most talented developer/designers I've come across. I mean, there seems to be nothing he is weak at. His designs are crisp and smart, and yet he seems to have an extremely comprehensive grasp of both front-end and back-end code, enough to make any of us jealous. Well, me anyway.
 
The tutorials are fairly infrequent, sort of once every 3-6 weeks, but they are always outstanding and worth working through when you have some free time.
 
It covers such a vast range of topics too.
 
When you read through the blog and see the quality of the work being demonstrated, this is exactly the level you and me should be aiming for and I also feel it's a level of work we are all going to need to achieve if we still want to be working in the industry successfully in 5, 10 years.

Currently traffic sources, great at working out if ad-campaigns from certain sources are working, or if organic is still on top! Although during the day Real Time Analytics at great at watching how people work round the website and such.

Well done mate! glad things have worked out good for you

Just replace the img tag with your div. Then target it in the jQuery, replacing the #loader id with the id of your div.

Any help?

Inline elements don't adhere to the box model too well, you'd need to give them a fixed height to make it wrap lke that.
 
If you're not too worried about supporting older versions of IE:

ul#portfolio li { display: inline-block; background: #FFFFFF; padding: 10px; }
 
Or a bit more semantic:

ul#portfolio li { display: block; float:left; background: #FFFFFF; padding: 10px; }

For future reference...

Chances are your SEO guy joined a spammy blog network and this is the result. You can try and contact these sites and get the links removed. Failing that just move on. Work on getting your ethical stuff done and forget about them. As u say you are having good results so... It is unlikely that your site is curently under any 'penalties'.
 
HTH

I would say if these blogs are fake and containing the same content and links to the site this would be bad, Google may see this as you trying to cheat the algorithm. This is usually used my black hat SEO techniques. I would avoid using such links.

Yeah, it's free for upto 10 email accounts then you pay after that. Go here: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html
 
Virgin Media and Sky both use Gmail
 
We spent considerable amount of time working on a good email interface to offer with our hosting but now we just recommend that clients use Google Apps because it's so much better (and the free storage is amazing).

Is it running on Apache? If so, the easiest way would be to add a deny block to the root .htaccess file:
 

order allow,deny deny from 82.192.75.151 allow from all

There's some good stuff in there - the best thing is, it's practical and fun.

thats the scanline effect^
 
for the dotted effect, just create a 3x3 image, then using the pencil tool 1px put a dot in the middle, then save as a PNG. Make sure your have it transparent

Hey
 
I'd probalys go for an element, i'll show you what i would do.
 

<div id="map"> <script>google map thing</script> </div>
 

#map { width: xx px; height: xx px; margin-left: 5px; }
 
i'd go for something like that to postion the map on the page.

No, you would have to put it on the list of fonts under the font-family attribute. i.e
 

p { font-family: "century gothic", Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; }

Hey Alex
 
Depending on what you actually mean by CSS Slider, your best choice would to go with a jQuery slider, there's plenty good ones on the internet and their not hard to implment onto your site and to modify using their defult css.

I've written a short article on what I think are some of the simplest and easiest ways to help improve SEO. I'm interested in what you guys think and would appreciate any comments!

Here's a tutorial.

The second and third items use pure CSS matching pairs principle, the fourth method uses PHP.
 
The second item uses a different background color for the current page, the third and fourth methods use background images, but you can use text links instead that have different style, color, etc.

The only way I could think of doing it with JS is to add a class to each body tag to identify each page. Then, write a script that compares the body class to a list of possible outcomes, then add an "active" class to the appropriate navigation link. Style accordingly.
 
You could probably do it with PHP pretty easily. Grab the current URL, strip it down to the page name, and compare it with possible outcomes. Add a class, style accordingly.
 
Programming really isn't my thing, I usually end up doing this manually or taking advantage of the current navigation class in Wordpress.
