Thanks! I wanted to do something a bit 'classy' and totally different from all the pub websites I've come across [most of them terrible I have to say] so glad it's getting the right response.

ok i've dulled them down - i think that looks better...

Do you think the reflections needs to be toned down a bit?

Hey all I've just done a holding page for a new site: Bar One Derby What do you think? The website is coming next...

It's surely a spoof of that old Monty Python sketch where they're all playing Australians called 'Bruce' G'Day Bruce...

what is XD? Link to snews would be good.

Wow - I can't believe it's been a whole year since I strated posting lots of nonsense on this forum!! When I joined there were about 7 people and it stayed like that for a while...but now - geez there are tons of members! That's brilliant. What a good reason to celebrate! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WDF

I'm looking for a CMS I can learn to implement as I've been recently been let down by some programmers and would really like something I can master myself. I'm not a programmer and can only understand the basic PHP and so looking for something simple. It has to be standards compliant, easy for me to implement and easy for a client to use to update their site. Modx always comes up when I do a google serach. Ben once suggested cuteNews and I still haven't got round to playing about with that one as the job I needed it for has been put on hold due to the fact that the client's wife has had a baby and he has more important things to think about thatn re-doing his website. Can you tell me more about your experience with Textpattern?

Just curious to find out if anyone has tried modx: ModX It would be great to find out if it's easy to implement, how versatile it is etc...

eh? not sure where you've got that from as I've not posted the links I'm working on here? I thought there was a WDF group on facebook...but...just checked and I was wrong - I was thinking of VIRB as there's one on there. We should get Ben to start a group as that would certainly raise the profile of the forum. I'll send him a request.

I find it takes far too long to load - rather graphics heavy.

I fixed it - I had to close down the browser and clear the cache and now it works. Thanks!!!!! That's on less thing to worry about. I've not got to figure out how to get some subnav textlinks to looks active when they should be, but might leave that for another day.

doesn't work - I've put the vcard and the .htaccess file in the same directory and refreshed the browser and get the same text based crap as before...bummer!

I don't know! very bizarre! It's probably as I don't have a photo of me there, just a picture of my eskymo character and that's what you've focused on.

well I've moved the vcard file into a sub directory and uploaded the .htaccess file to the root directory and unfortunately get the same problem...

Ha Ha - I am a master of disguise! Did I not add you as a friend on Facebook - if so you've obviously not looked at my profile.

Hello Stranger! Long time no see - where have you been hiding? Ok, I'm not very 'in the know' when it come to .htaccess files. Am I right in thinking that the .htaccess file contains the following: AddType text/x-vcard .vcf do I upload the .htaccess file to the root or the same directory as the vcard file?

I had trouble using thunderbird - worked fine on my mac, but when I installed it on the PC and used exactly the same setting for my email acconts, it wouldn't work. I think at the time it was an conflict issue with Norton and so I ended up buying Outlook instead...I now no longer use Norton, but no point using thunderbird now, when I have a copy of outlook. The vcard link works fine in IE - but for some reason firefox doesn't like it - so maybe it's a firefox issue, but the example link works fine in both browsers. What is the best way to create a vCard so it's compatible with all browsers?

why would I need to change the settings on my server?

yes the example works fine...tested it in firefox. I'll check out the link you've attached. thanks.

I'm going to stick with the 4 elements as I find that easy to remember TRBL - I remeber it as it sounds like 'trouble' if you say it literally.

I've created a vCard to put on my site for people to download. I've got Microsoft Outlook and followed the instructions on how to create a vCard. I've then uploaded this to my website and created a link like this: <p class="vcard"><a href="../eviemilo.vcf" class="blue" title="Download the Eskymo vCard">Download the Eskymo vCard</a></p> but when you click on the link it doesn't ask me what I want to do with the vcard [i.e. open it or save it]. Instead I just get every thingas plain text int he browser window. I've done exactly the same as this page: Example so not sure why it doesn't work.

well I didn't implement it as I had the same thought - either 2 or 4 elements within the notation. I'm not sure how it would work with 3...so hopefully someone can explain.

I did it like this: <ul class="imglist"> <li><a href="#"><img src="" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="" /></a></li> </ul> and the CSS is: ul.imglist { margin: 0px 20px 20px 20px; padding: 0; } .imglist li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; } is that the best way to do it?
