It's a bold approach not to incorporate hypnotic backgrounds on your designs, but I like it!

Make it seem like your skills are printed on the card. That would be the best thing to do. If you're a designer whose approach to creating a webpage is neat and clean; make your card seem like so.

My initial reaction to the image on the right is that the text looked unorganized. This observation is important because if it wasn't for my best intention of giving you feedback I would have not read the texts inside of it at all - there's too much going on and for a flyer that isn't seem very convenient. You can compensate by tightening the letter spacing and make the space between each word a bit wider.

It has to stand out really. Any image could become a logo so long as the surrounding elements are in different colour.

It's best to use to IDE for large projects. My first attempt on a large project consisted of about 100+ scripts was a difficult task without a house keeping tool! Learnt the lesson well since then, I got netbeans to compensate.

You're probably creating another trouble. First, your stylesheets are overloaded and that itself is obviously a load to the browser already, if you follow that with a cleansing component you're adding another load by using such component to scan the entire webpage to determine which css element isn't being used.

Just use JS instead, using PHP is a bit overkill to overcome the problem. The solution as discussed already is: count the lis, divide the width of the ul to the count of lis, assign the quotient to the lis' width and as percentage.

follow wick's solution but switch the variables around from max-width: 90%; min-width: 800px; to max-width: 800px; min-width: 90%;

That hack seems a bit too much. I thought you would be able to do it using: body{ padding-bottom: 100px; } #footer{ width: 900px; height: 100px; position: absolute; bottom: 0; }

Apparently there is Modernizr to sort the detection for you. It's in this topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4817029/whats-the-best-way-to-detect-a-touch-screen-device-using-javascript

One of the reasons why I use debuggers, finding the problem is so much easier!

Use px and ems for accuracy, %s for children div boxes or fluid layouts.

You must be using a script blocker of some sort.

I like it! Do you usually sketch before coding the template?

I thought it would have looked much better if the contents are contained in a smaller space really as it doesn't have much contents.

That's a nice! I like it.

Too scattered I thought, it could do with a bit more effort. If you wish to define simplicity in your design, the trick is to emphasize the use of spaces between elements. Best of luck.

I use Geany for Linux.

It could easily be done with 1 php file alongside MySQL. Simple newsletter submittion script <?php //Check if form has been submitted if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ //Initiate mysql connection mysql_connect("local", "roo", "pass"); mysql_select_db("newsletter"); //Sanitize entered data foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $_POST[$key] = addslashes(trim($value)); //Perform query if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT email from subscribers WHERE email='". $_POST['email']. "'")) < 1) mysql_query("INSERT INTO subscribers (email) VALUES ('". $_POST['email']. "')"); } ?> <h1>Subscribe</h1> <form action='<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>' method='POST'> <input type='text' name='email' value='your email...'> <Input type='submit' value='Subscribe' name='submit'> </form>

Another merit for you, good advice indeed! I'm not very skilled in creating a graphical design but had been successful with my regular procedure of going straight through picking the correct fonts, colours, & proportions! Then I code it straight away and it's always worked well for me! This might be practical for websites like Wikipedia which incorporates a uniformed layout but I don't think it would work well on personalized websites (I haven't tried). The effort I put in doing my own procedure however always takes less which enables me to do the next freelance work on the queue as soon as I could possibly finish the current job!

It's acting sluggish for me. I suggest you transfer to a different host to be honest with you unless you can negotiate them to transfer your website to a different server of theirs.

Yes, it should. That's how I would do it as I make scheduled tasks for sending e-mails automatically everyday.

These commands are usually available on every standard web hosting packages: bunzip2 bzip2 cat chmod cp cpio doscvt grep gzip hostname ln login ls mkdir more mv od rm sh tar touch unzip vi zcat I haven't found an article of ssh commands list for fashostingdirect, couldn't find it on their website either. Though if you're wondering what command to use for creating a cron job, use crontab -e, press i and insert your cron command: run a query.php everyday for example: 0 0 * * * php /www/query.php Then press escape followed by ':' and type 'wq' to save the command. crontab -l to list all the existing cron job commands.

Who's your hosting provider?

You could use switch statements and set identities for every function I suppose. Although it does need a bit of automation, the script has to check the server time first of all using date() and pull the list of scripts that needs to be executed at that certain point. Code reference: $timeNow = strtotime(date('G-i-s')); switch($timeNow){ case '10023021': executesql_query(PARAM); break; }
