Whoops, did not know that ImageMagick was a server-side - sorry

PHP GD or ImageMagick
I'm a big fan of The GIMP. First attracted to it because I laughed at its name, but it is rather awesome imaging software once you get used to it. Resizing images is just one thing you could use it for. Generally most image-software will be able to resize images with great detail. Things that do it server-side never really work that well (with some amazing exceptions), look about if you want for some software, but again I'd recommend the good 'ol GNU Image Manipulation Program

navigation issue
If it's possible to change the mainnav to a "position: absolute" it might help also, because I tend to find that relative positioning gets muddled among different browsers. IE thinks that relative means one thing against FF's meaning to relative. If this doesn't work, could you send us a link of this script so we can see what you mean?

listing difference between .com and .co.uk
I'm going to guess you meant to say that it appears #6 on Google.co.uk, but not on Google.com - or vice versa. This is because the way your site's popularity is worked out (through links on other websites, links to other websites etc.) are then filtered out in .co.uk So... say you have lots of links on a .co.uk forum, this will make your site very popular in Google's .co.uk terms, but not so much in its .com terms. These aren't the only factors, but to my knowledge, its the main reason. To be honest, Google keep their search algorithms hidden, so people only have vague ideas of how Google work out site-popularity at all.

Advise for a noob
It's not a silly question at all. I give my users the option of paying a small fee to have my company update it for them, or be able to update it themselves. This way, they get to choose depending on their knowledge.

simple text rollover menu
I'm not entirely sure what it is you want... But if it's what I think, you want in the hover bit <a href="" onMouseOver="java script: document.getElementById('subheading').visibility='visibile';">Blah</a> <a href="" style="visibility: hidden;">Subheading</a> Code might be bugged (and is indefinitely messy and whatnot), but you get the general idea? Hope this was answering the question?

change (rotate) images on a timed basis
Basically it can't be done in PHP or HTML. Both HTML and PHP are "static", so to speak. PHP does everything on the server, then stops. HTML loads it all onto your PC, then stops. Javascript is the most ideal way to create this rotation of images. Of course Javascript can be embedded within HTML-text, so sorry to say all that if you already knew. Anyhow- A simple code I'd construct for this is using setTimeout(function,time); var imageSrc=null; var image=0; var noOfImages=4; function changeImage(){ image++; if(image > noOfImages){ image=1; } if(image==1){ imageSrc="http://www.imagesite.com/image1.png"; } if(image==2){ imageSrc="http://www.imagesite.com/image2.png"; } if(image==3){ imageSrc="http://www.imagesite.com/image3.png"; } if(image==4){ imageSrc="http://www.imagesite.com/image4.png"; } document.getElementById("Image").src=imageSrc; setTimeout(changeImage(), 500); } setTimeout(changeImage(), 500); (Ever so sorry if there's a minor-code flaw in there, I'm just writing it out freely into this reply-box, haven't tested it). Basically setTimeout(function, time); carries out a set function after the set time, which is measured in milliseconds (I think). Hope this helps

Static Chat on right hand side
In HTML unfortunately, when you move a page, you don't see anything of the old page, at all... If you don't want iFrames, then the only other solution I could think of is using Javascript to run a pop-up window containing the chat in. Not ideal I know, but I don't think there's any other way...

Scroll bars and divs
Generally you don't want to be using "position: fixed;", useful as it is, it's not supported by IE (the most annoying thing known to web design) which some 80% of the population still use, so What text disappears when you make it position: absolute; ? There is no text in the footer? Perhaps mess around with z-indexing http://www.echoecho.com/csslayers.htm Hope that helps

How do i start
Yup, it's as joshy15 said. W3Schools is really very useful, it does actually describe what CSS is when you go to learn it http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

BEWARE - Yell.com
Sorry to sound repetitive and a bit of a short, useless message; but that's really bad! Sucks that happens to people :-/ Worst thing I've had is people leeching credit off my phone, no £230 debts. I'll be sure to keep wary of such sites Hope it all works out for you with your solicitors.

Website not diplaying correctly
It's true, Publisher really just wasn't made for making web-pages. Generally WYSIWYG editors will produce messier code and will be less all-browser-friendly; hence I would recommend starting to learn some HTML etc. as you go along, but if you're not prepared for that - what bluedreamer recommended is a much more qualified WYSIWYG editor and will produce much better code and thus much better compatibility than MS Publisher. Hope this helps

Okay, so speed up rolling menu, change music? (music being a hard one because it's opinionated, I'll look around for a better one, but..), add more to the background, and change the font-color in the menu... As in the bit that says "Portfolio | Services | Contact us"? I shall work on those things - thank you very much EDIT: Added a little header image, let me know what you think if you can. I also sped up the drop down rate of the box. I'm just now trying to find some better music... *yawn* ¬_¬

How do i start
I wouldn't recommend relying on pre-made templates. The more you can do yourself the better. http://www.w3schools.com/ Try look at that website, it has tutorials for HTML, CSS, JS and many, many more - I would recommend learning CSS and JS now you know HTML. Hope this helps

IE Alignment issue
IE6 is out of date, but 90% of people who haven't updated already won't update because you told them to, instead they'll just leave. What I would do, maybe, is create a script saying to move the px +/-1 if it's in IE6.

Scroll bars and divs
I'm not entirely sure what it is you want, but if I think you mean what you mean, then put this CSS to your div overflow: auto; This will make the div that you choose, when over-filled, use a scrolling system. So give it a set height, too. I hope I haven't just told you something useless
