  1. Ha thanks for liking that post. Also thanks to all people who gave genuine replies, you will notice i clicked like underneath
  2. People like you who try to make themselves sound smart generally aren't, i don't really care how much knowledge you have in relation to what's answered on theses forums, but don't come along on a thread i started and write crap like that, if you feel you're some kind of a genius and you were offended by my slight change of subject when replying to your post then you're not someone i want to hear from again.
  3. Now that is a dam good reason to learn it, but also made me see that wordpress is nothing compared to being able to "completely" customize a website to what ever way you like to do what you want etc. I thought wordpress was the answer to creating a website and no knowledge of code was needed ever, but while that can be true, for myself based on that and other reasons it is a very good idea to learn it. Thanks.
  4. Well you see i don't know how important it is nowadays when it comes to creating a website, for example when making a small online store for someone, you can literally have one made within a few hours with all the WP plugins and shopping carts available. So i was thinking is there a need for a knowledge of PHP when you can simply go and just install wordpress plugins to create the site. So either that's the case or it's the opposite; that it's more important than ever to have a great knowledge of PHP because there are so many websites popping up today (as nearly anyone can make one) that you need to be able to make a website stand out in what it can do and just in general what the customer/user experiences while on it.
  5. Okay now that is a reply and a half, and yes you just cleared up a lot there. Yeah i think i was kind of going for the knower of everything master of nothing where i am able to do a lot but wouldn't really be an expert in any area. But that's interesting what you said there about how things work like with the web designer hiring a programmer and that.
  6. I know i don't just mean the look or cosmetic part which is all CSS and HTML i just mean for someone who creates websites in their spare time would it help them do A LOT MORE if they knew PHP or are there so many available options out there today for people without PHP knowledge that it really isn't needed unless you are seriously into making websites.
  7. I have a few websites but have only a small amount of PHP knowledge but currently studying it. I'm mostly involved in e-commerce but lend a hand to people here and there who want very basic websites for personal uses. So take for example: 1. Making an e-commerce website for a client. There are so many platforms and shopping carts out there that they almost come ready made like this! Steps: Wordpress - WPcommerce plugin, drag-and-drop your website widgets, some messing around in settings... and bang website up and running. 2. Making a blog. Steps: Wordpress, Theme, Written Content, Done. In effect that is it, you never get to see the PHP files even, so what i am trying to ask is if i devote the next few months to studying PHP will it pay off, will i become 10 times better at helping people with website design or is the fact that so many things are coming out now to make designing easy that PHP knowledge isn't really much of a necessity? Thanks.
  8. Yeah gona give all that a go, cheers everyone.
  9. Is there any way of disabling the auto close tag? When you press < it displays <> and i was wondering can you disable it, thanks.
  10. I have used google search, only problem is that i am using code to create links "without" underlines at the moment, this is the html i am using for that: <p><a href="http://examplelink.com" style="text-decoration: none">Example Text</a></p> It works great but when i try to implement html link-colour codes for that, i get nothing. Can anyone help, thanks.
  11. Oh i see, so you're limited in how much HTML/CSS you can apply to the writing on your page? You have to edit the actual theme file
  12. I was looking at videos on HTML and CSS and because most of the videos show the HTML/CSS being demonstrated in a notepad file, i was wondering will this work or not on my wordpress site (i'm learning it so i can customize my wordpress). Take for example this - {background: gray;} It works fine and turns the background gray in a .html notepad file, but on my wordpress it does nothing. What kinda of HTML/CSS should i be learning and where in order to specifically make a nice wordpress site and not a notepad site. Thank you.
  13. I am a total beginner in PHP and hoping to learn about it and find some useful information. I was hoping someone could help me choose one of the below, thanks. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1430224738/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0615671950/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE p.s. I know i could study on the laptop but sometimes i prefer to read a book.
