    SEOLover got a reaction from Fitoalgotte in Photoshop snobbery towards Fireworks?   
    I get the feeling there's a certain snobbery towards Fireworks when it comes to Photoshop.

    Apart from complex effects etc, I don't see anything a Photoshop user can't do, and may I say, much quicker, Fireworks is a fantastic program for churning out layouts/templates/wire-framing and I personally speaking, much prefer it to Photoshop for this reason.

    Now don't get me wrong I wouldn't be doing any major design art-working with Fireworks, but for websites, i think it rocks...

    I've been exploring effects and things, and if you know what you're doing can achieve very good results that would probably be on par with photoshop (For the web).

    What's other peoples thoughts on this? Are you an Avid Fireworks fan?

    ...If someone paid you for 6 months (Enough to get by) and gave you the time to develop/create your own company/product what exactly would you make?

    It's an interesting idea, freedom for 6 months to create anything you wanted or wished you had more time to do...

    Just found an easy solution, it only forces you on your first campaign, so if you create a new one you can choose then.
     
    I think that's another little cheeky trick by Google though

    Yes i'd do a search, many dvanced text/html editors can do a "find in files" - so you could just do a search for "content-sm" within the theme directory and find it that way.
     
    Yes your styling looks fine you just need to add:
     
    .post { margin: 0 0 1em;}
     
    You don't need to add anything else e.g. remove .post-110, .post-1003 etc

    Hi,

    See attached screenshot of what i've done.


     
    You'll need to add a new div between each post element, this will be in the php...
     
    <div id="content-sm">
    <div id="post-750"></div>
    <div class="post-spacer"></div>
    <div id="post-751"></div>
    </div>
     
    Then give the styling:
    .post-spacer { border-bottom: 1px solid #F5F5F5; border-top: 1px solid #EBEBEB; display: block; font-size: 1px; height: 1px; margin: 0 0 20px; width: 100%; }  
    To neaten up the other elements alter some of the existing styles e.g.

    Remove both the borders from ".entry-utility"
    And change the margin on to .post to margin: 0 0 1em;

    SEOLover reacted to Alluziion in Mobile Website Design   
    Most people use responsive design which uses media queries (arguments) to apply different CSS styles depending on the size of the persons browser - this way it accounts for the majority of screen sizes without using multiple stylesheets. These two articles are quite useful:
     
    http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/responsivedesign/?ModPagespeed=noscript
    http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-to-responsive-web-design
     
    You could also use a framework such as Foundation but I personally don't like them.
     
    EDIT: If you want to get a more clear idea what's possible with media queries, check out the websites listed in this article: http://thenextweb.com/dd/2013/01/13/30-new-inspiring-responsive-design-websites/2/
     
    (open the websites and resize them in your browser and see what happens.

    SEOLover got a reaction from Alluziion in Buying website traffic worth it?   
    Normally these are a complete waste of time, it's unsustainable and they won't actually be targeted visitors.

    I would imagine they really are bots, though obviously can't be 100% - people used to get paid to surf with an iframe open it would load with peoples sites beneath it, so the user wasn't actually viewing the site anyway, it would just open in the background then refresh with another site.
     
    I would advise against it, unless you're looking to sell it, it could make it more desirable in the short-term, but morally I wouldn't do that either.

    A waste of time.

    They are without a doubt using bots and as SEOLover said, there are websites that offer exchange services where a window is left open on a browser which views different peoples websites earns that person "time" or "points" which can then be used to do the same but these users are just bouncing and Google will notice that. Although all visits are good, you're main goal is to get visitors who enjoy your content - target that demographic and keep bringing them back.

    SEOLover reacted to andy9l in leverage browser cache   
    In theory it will only update after 30 days of the user first fetching that file. So across all of your website viewers, there is a period of up to 30 days where some will see the new image, some will still see the old. After 30 days, everyone should be on the new.
     
    However, if you changed the file name in the code, and for the file itself, browsers will fetch immediately (it's a completely new request). This might be obvious to you, but worth mentioning.
     
    Viewers can override the expiry settings by forcing a hard refresh in their browser (generally CMD+SHIFT+R (Mac), or CTRL+SHIFT+R (Win)).

    The spam was tackled first and continues to be the first priority. - It's a heck of an improvement

    I'm really pleased I managed to fit in a cleaner look for the forum as well as all the forum improvements, been a busy few evenings!

    And I say future for a redesign, doesn't necessarily mean near-future, going forward "Blue" will be the priority colour. - Clean and readable works really well, don't necessarily need anything fancy, look at Sitepoint and other forums etc.

    Thanks to everyone reporting spam & also to the mods

    SEOLover got a reaction from Nillervision in Why is Blue used in design?   
    Different shades promote different meanings/emotions a royal Blue could be perceived as superiority or a lighter shade blue promotes the feeling of the sea/openness/confidence & dark blue means intelligent, rich, elegant, old-fashioned...

    There's some good readings actually on the use of blue in design:
