Eskymo

surely that would make my XHTML fail validation...I've checked through all my <a> tags and can't find any errors. Plus I get the error whilst trying to validate the CSS and not the XHTML and there are no <a> tags in the CSS. Can't really post code as I use a lot of include files - can you do a 'View Page Source'. The Line 106 is a bit annoying as it doesn't help me pinpoint the problem as a lot of my content is in include files. I'll have another look at my include files, which contain my navigation elements. Cheers

Hey All I'm getting this strange error when I try to validate my CSS file: CSS ERROR I'm not sure what it is referring to as I'm not using any XML on my site. I get the error when validating the CSS on every page on the site. The XHTML validates perfectly and doesn't show any errors so I'm not sure what's going on as it seems to imply that I'm missing the end tag off an 'a' element. Any ideas?

great article - the mind boggles! It's a confusing world out there!

I hate people looking over my shoulder whilst I'm being creative - it makes me paranoid and unable to play around with stuff until I like something. I can handle that kind of work if it's on something I've already done and it's a matter of tweaking and re-working.

not sure i'd like that way of working! I'd crack under the pressure!

I'm loving the bit! Especially as you get a free yellow marigold glove!!! Very stange installation - is this not an April Fool Joke? Installation Sounds interesting - going to see how it develops.

It definitely depends on what you want to get out of it I guess. If you want people to notice your link - create an eye catching banner, if your more after ratings then a text link with specific keywords might be better.

In my book - the design comes first. Once the client has seen that, they have a better idea of the site layout and structure and can then go off and create their content to fit the site. When the content is adding, further tweaks and additions are made to the design to accomodate it. but that's just my opinion from a designers point of view as I don't ever write content.

I found it far too complicated and so opted for Wordpress instead.

Hi Harry Post any question and I'm sure you'll get an answer! E

I think the no-slash option is best.

To be honest it depends on the client...some can understand your design from a few sketches on graph paper, whereas some need to be able to see most of the site pages on screen. I tend to play it by ear. At the initial stages I give a couple of options - two different approaches to the design. When the client has chosen their favoured route I then mock up a homepage and a sub page and any other page that has a different layout or functionality that needs to be explained visually for them to understand. Sometimes I only present one route and get the client to comment on it and then I work on it some more until the client is happy. I would never do 3-4 different options of a design as that would just take too much time and drain my brain. I always find that I do one design and I love it and find it hard just to do one other option - so definitely couldn't do 3 or 4. Hope that helps. It would be interesting to hear what other people do in the initial stages too.

Hi there all...this is for UK based Web Designers. There's a new directory that is launching soon and they're looking to list the Best Web Designers and Developers in the UK! Read the pre-launch statement here. I got an email from them last week with a personal invitation asking me to register and I offered to post a thread up on the forum to help them out...this is something they said in a subsequent email: I think the directory is different from a lot you can register with at the moment as they personally analyse each entry and you will only get listed if your sites passes their criteria. That means they will be listed only to good designers and developers whose skills are up to scratch. Please take the time to have a look and register! Thanks E

Hi Jonny - welcome to the forum. So what took you to Porugal? Love or Work?

Hey A firend of mine sent me a link to this game as it made him think of me as it features a cute little eskimo. I love it and have been playing it for the past hour! Only managed to gte to 46 on the highscore board, but if I practice I may get up to the top ten. Have a go yourself - the music will drive you mad in a pleasant kind of way as it's quite good. http://www.miniclip.com/games/frost-bite/en/ I want it on my website!!! E
