I'm having a problem with a site that includes a mailing list. There are around 1000 subscribers to the mailing list of which about 300 are hotmail addresses. When a newsletter is sent from the mailing list, (apparantly, according to the server host) Hotmail then blocks the IP address for future emails for around 24 hours. This (quite rightly) annoys other people using the same domain... Has anyone had any experience of this ? Has anyone found a solution ? I've thought of sending the newsletter in batches of (say) 100 at a time with a 20 minute break between batches. This is going to be difficult to achieve (but not impossible) . Any ideas ?? p.s. Removing all the hotmail addresses from the list is not an option !

Here's an example, search for 'amazon' on google and as well as the normal result, you also get a selection of directly linked menu items. I came across a description of this the other day and for the life of me can't remember what it's called. I believe that google does this automatically if your menu items are in a particular format. Can anyone shed any light on this ??

Don't know about 'OMITTAG NO' or anything like that but the code you reproduced has an extraneous '/' in it. It should look like this: <img src="images/pipegrids.gif" alt="" />

Here's how to do it in Coldfusion: <cfhttp url="##BLOG ADDRESS HERE##" /> <cfset blogObj = xmlParse(cfhttp.FileContent)> <cfset items = arraylen(blogObj.rss.channel.item)> This creates a query called 'items' that you can use in your code... It may be this simple in other server side languages . . .

The question is: why do you care ? As long as it's alright in IE & FireFox (and other browsers) does it matter what dreamweaver makes of it ? No one browses websites in dreamweaver !

XHTML is fast becoming the standard for websites. It's very similar to HTML but stricter... For example: <a HREF="alink">LINK</a> is valid HTML but not XHTML... In XHTML it would read: <a href="alink">LINK</a> in other words all 'code' should be lower case. There are plenty of other examples but in general it's pretty easy to progress from HTML to XHTML... And, we all know that up to date valid sites rank higher in search engines . . . .

I wrote it in a generic code - not php, asp or anything - just to give you an idea ! By choice, I'd have written it in Coldfusion, but not many other people use that !

You need a variable on each page called something like 'currentPage', which changes the style of the 'active' link to your specification... SO <a href='#' <if currentPage = 'contactUs' then> style='background: #123456;</endif> >CONTACT BUTTON</a> <a href='#' <if currentPage = 'aboutUs' then> style='background: #123456;</endif> >ABOUT BUTTON</a> Does that make sense ??

An rss feed is simply an XML page which can be read by a feed reader. Therefore, if you write your code to parse it's output to an xml page (by creating and saving a file), then hey presto a dynamic RSS feed. These pages may help: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Rockin-RSS-...P-on-your-HTML/ http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=32265 http://www.webreference.com/authoring/lang...s/custom_feeds/

You shouldn't suffer at all. The search engines read the final outputted HTML that the browser sees, including meta-data just creates different meta-data for each page. I do a similar thing on some of my sites (gather the meta-data from a database) using Coldfusion and it seems to work fine.

Don't know about PSP but couldn't you make a flat grid and then apply a 'spherise' filter to it ? I know Photoshop has one - not sure about PSP ?

Just a reminder to all those people who have websites that calculate the VAT on shopping items. The UK VAT rate is dropping to 15% on the 1st of December so all the sites using the 1.175 calculation will need to be changed ! Just thought you'd like to know !

Here's a couple of links for icons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Icons http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/07/02...lity-icon-sets/

It can be tricky but it's not too bad . . .

It's OK in as much as it posts the contents of the form to a MAILTO: tag. This then opens up the clients mail client where they can send the email to you. A better way of doing it would be to use a CGI email application (if your site is purely HTML) or a server side mail application if your site has one available (e.g. Coldfusion or PHP) Examples: http://email.about.com/cs/phpemailtips/qt/et031202.htm http://www.boutell.com/email/ [cgi] http://www.quackit.com/coldfusion/tutorial...fusion_mail.cfm [coldfusion] [i]Hope this helps ?[/i]
