ExpressionEngine is my first choice because it's far easier for designers to make templates/designs for than Wordpress, which will require a lot more programming. I also found an ExpressionEngine alternative. http://www.heroframework.com It works in the same way as EE. You can create multiple "blogs", and have different input fields for each one. For your main blog items you can have Title/Body. For your portfolio blog items you can have Title/Description/Image, etc, etc. Then you can just grab any piece of data you want and put it on any page using the template system. So much easier than Wordpress/copycats.

Finally, I found one! http://www.heroframework.com It works just like EE. You create multiple content types (blogs), choose a bunch of custom fields for each one, then publish content to them. Then use the templates to position everything.

I would say the way it handles content is more important than the templating. Templating will still be a pain if I can't grab any piece of data I want. Are there any CMS's like this?

It doesn't have to be free, but I was hoping there would be a serious free alternative by now. It's not even for a client, just me creating a website for fun that won't make much money.

I need a free alternative to ExpressionEngine. It should work like EE, or the Pods plugin for Wordpress. It's must have: Custom fields - When you publish an item, instead of default Title/Body, it should allow custom fields like Title (Text), Body (Text), Item Picture (Image), Show Picture? (Boolean). youtube.com/watch?v=crNspHLCCwQ No PHP soup template system - Template system should have custom tags, such as "<CMS:Comments sort="descending">" type tags. Something like Blogger/ExpressionEngine. These do not fit this purpose: Wordpress (without Pods)

If there's no hash, the code smoothly scrolls to 'top', which works fine. The issue is if there's a hash (/page.php#hash), I need it to scroll to the hash instead of jumping instantly. I don't think "document.location.hash" is the correct way. Anyone know? if (document.location.hash == null) { $.scrollTo( '#top', 1200 ); } else { $.scrollTo( 'document.location.hash', 1200 ); }

Problem solved. Thanks! This goes in the head: <script src="jquery.scrollTo-min.js"></script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $.scrollTo( '#top', 1000 ); }); </script> And remove the "#top" hashes on the end of the links. Yeah that was stupid of me. I should've mentioned my "#top" was a tiny bit down the page.

No, because it has to go to a different page, not the top of the current page. That's the pain.

I'm looking for a jQuery script that scrolls to a div when the page loads. This one uses PHP: http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/onload-smooth-scroll.php?scrollto=c1 The url structure will be like this: page1.php#top page2.php#top page3.php#top The div is this: <div id="top"></div>

What editor are you using? There's some crazy code in there. You need to split the site into #header, #content and #footer. Content should contain column_1/2/3 and column_2/3 and the footer shouldn't be inside column_1.

I have a site with a PR of 3 a with only 3 backlinks - the only backlink that has a PR is 3. The site's established and updated regularly. My other site has a PR of 2 and gets 200 more unique hits per day... PR means nothing. I just opened my main freelacne design site two weeks ago and it got a PR of 1 after a week.

I code a base index.html then use the tags from my CMS to get it working pretty quickly. ExpressionEngine has the easiest template system for non-PHP designers, but it's not free for commercial use. Modx and WP are good free alternatives.

It shouldn't be that hard. There are multiple ways to do it... You could have a #menu div with the "middle" gradient. Inside that div have a #menu_left with the left curve (background:url(imgs/menu_left.gif) no-repeat left) Inside the #menu_left have a #menu_right with the right curve (background:url(imgs/menu_right.gif) no-repeat right). That will scale to different resolutions. Another way if it's fixed-width then you could just use one large image as Faevilangel said, etc.

You could use something like these if you don't want to spend the time learning: http://intensedebate.com http://disqus.com http://js-kit.com
