Hello looking to network with Web developers/ Graphic Designers
Feel free to follow me on twitter, I have much the same interests in networking with other developers and designers, isn't that why most of us are here? I try to post useful things. I'd like to follow you also if you have it.

Portfolio website v2
It might just be me but it looks as if it needs some anti aliasing on the text, it looks a little rough around the edges. The Apple device images need work, I can see the white corners on the iPad and iPhone. At the very bottom there is a little too much white space for me. As I scroll down HOME WERK OVER CONTACT stay int eh same place, and some places where this goes over other images and text it looks unfinished, as if needs a slight backing to it so that it's obvious that it is on top of the rest of the website. Other than that, and the fact I can't read half of it, looks really really good to me.

Help with one logo
Looks like the old one simply needs a gradient set so that it goes inwards all around, I can't recall the actual name for it.

Rate your hosting service
I host my personal websites (nothing work related) on a blue-host VPS, great so far. I recently moves away from Fanatical VPS (who were also very very good) simply because I wished my websites to be in the UK rather than Germany.

Twitter 'Bootstrap'
One of my colleagues recently told me about this thing called Twitter Bootstrap as he believes it may be able to assist me in one of my personal projects. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#overview Just sharing it, I can see how nice looking websites could be built very quickly using this and as it is only a css file, it doesn't have dependencies (unless you use some of it's java-script), full support for IE7 onwards.

Hello from the UK
Decided I may as-well introduce myself as I may be here a while. I am an web developer from the UK, while I am relatively new to the profession I have been doing it as a on and off hobby for quite some time now and now work at it daily. I mainly work doing front line support while building up my development skills to then begin embarking on some of my companies projects.

Overpriced
The client pays for a brilliant website, so they pay for brilliant images. You get what you pay for, yes you may pay a lot, but make sure you are getting a lot for it and it will add to the website more than what it costs.

How could I improve this design?
It's interesting for sure, not too sure how that green will be on larger resolutions, that's a lot of a strong colour.
-
how did you learn graphic design?
Did a course but learnt nothing I hadn't picked up from doing it as a hobby, it's the way to go in my opinion, self taught.

Linux or Windows for website?
I would almost certainly suggest linux for this, especially as you say it will almost certainly be static, even if it wasn't, linux for PHP and MySQL. I'd only ever go to windows if it was 100% essential so use the asp script, even then I'd look for a PHP alternative.

VPS pricing: pls can someone explain?
I would definitely look into a managed solution that will be able to host it, even though your host would not.

Feedback on Flyers
I personally prefer the background, all round it is more visually appealing to me, but I think it needs a slightly darker background to make the content reach out to you that little bit more.

My php include is not working
Try using a relative, so <?php $title="Study Question | Your Study Buddy"; $currentpage="includes/pages/index.php"; include "./includes/page.php"; ?>

CloudFlare - What do you think?
I would not personally use the service, you should be able to do virtually everything they say without them. Even down to traffic monitoring, just use doodle analytics.

what should be the namer server for my website
The nameservers point to your website, they aren't there just for fun to rename, they are what tell your website visitors where to go to find the website.

AMD Phenom upgrade
The processor is AM3 so you can use any AMD AM3 processor for sure, weather it also supports AM2 I do not know without your mobo model/make.

Redirecting UK users from .com to .co.uk site
You could use geo-ip to estimate their location (it is generally accurate) and have it display a warning if they are from the uk or eu and have gone to the .com, and vicea-versa for us clients who go to the co.uk

Notepad++
Writing it manually can be both good and bad, you learn your website file structure very well, however you can make errors on input.
-
Forum software
Just for further users references, there is a website called forum matrix comparing most forum software. http://www.forummatrix.org/
-
Is it worth purchasing a domain if the .com is unavailable?
I would consider another name, in reality if the website is not area specific, try and avoid area specific TLDs.
-
top 4 browser
I would also recommend checking on Opera Mini/Mobile, it's one of the most popular mobile browsers.
-
Which CMS is perfect for you?
I'd imagine this is very useful, even presenting it to a client and letting them choose the system that they would like to proceed with.

Web Development Software
I use Notepad ++ or Netbeans, depends where and what it is I'm working on.
