heres some good free ones: http://www.gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/122

windows vista has winows DVD maker built in. You can add avi movies on that.

I want to start a forum, but im not sure which one to go for. I have good experience working with phpbb, but im much prefer the layouts of the others, especially vbulletein. Are they all free or how much would it cost to run them? Which has the best features in them and which is the easiest to work your way around and manage. Thanks in advance

I'm this to fellow web designers out there. When a client asks to include some sort of shopping cart in there website what do you do? Have you obtained a licence to use a premade script? Or do you just script it with php from scratch?

that is a bit out of your league if you want to start creating or even integrating a shopping cart into your website. However, paypal is very easy to use, you can just have buy it now buttons or you van have add to cart buttons, just like a shopping cart.

u can't compare them. Trying to compare php and html is like comparing a car to a GPS. They do completely different jobs, but need each other to build something usefull. Php isn't needed but it adds interactivity and dynamic content and is very much wanted now-a-days. Just learn html and how to create static webpages then learn how to integrate php and databases (MYSQL).

That message board is hard to follow. I really wouldn't suggest you using it. Just try to add a user blog or guestbook. If you know your way around php then do you know mysql? Just make a databse and add each post onto it. Then use the select tag to collect that data and show it on your page.

Yeh i agree. It will detract visitors, and you don't want that. Also i'm a bit confused. Who learns how to code css, but doesn't know html. Css just adjusts and changes elements in the html.

Basically I'm just making my own website for webdesign. I can code well, in html, css, javascript, php and mysql. The thing im not great at doing is coming up with ideas. I've re designed my web design website 3 times, and although it has got better, it still doesn't look very proffesional, and lacks some important aspects. How do you go about coming up for ideas for a website that stands out, is cleverly designed and attracts the visitors to read through it? Thats the bit im bad at, how do I get better?

Hey. If you post your website it won't give you a bad rep if it isn't great. We all start off somewhere.

Hey, i'm a web designer and currently run a business called 'Steve's Web Design'. I joined this forum because it will be very usefull to me and I can help other people out. I really want to properly learn flash and hope to get some of this knowledge via this forum.

just use tables and the valign and align attributes. Set them both to center.
