  1. IMO, I think your contact page php code should check to see if all appropriate fields are completed only once the submit button has been pressed. Otherwise you get this annoying popup every time a new field is selected (if one is temporarily skipped).
  2. I am currently using exactly the system that DarkSuperHero just outlined - as per Axeia's earlier suggestion. How does a switch statement fit into this?
  3. neat. do you include() the content in the middle of your container page code? i.e. index.html: <html> <body> include() </body> </html> if so, isn't this detrimental to SEO? Otherwise, how is this different than just using plain <a href>?
  4. neat - thanks. in time!! you guys are too quick for me!
  5. Alternatively, for your debugging problems, you can try www.experts-exchange.com. It is a paid subscription, but if you often need debugging help, it is well worth it.
  6. I think the site looks awesome! ... And relatively easy to navigate. A couple of minor suggestions: - I would make more visible mouse over effects for the main navigation menu. I see there are black highlights, but they are pretty much useless, since it is not at all visible. Maybe make the font a different color on mouseover? - For ease of browsing through the active concepts, maybe in the box with 'number of votes', include the average rating stars. Just a thought...
  7. Switch statement! Excellent advice, gizmola! I have been looking for a more solid webpage architecture for a long time. Include() was a huge step up, but this is definitely worth some exploring - thanks! As for google ads, I hear what you are both saying - but for now I am getting enough work by word of mouth. Once a few more projects are completed, I will replace that spot with a "In The Works" spotlight... but for now, I'm using it to get a better understanding of google adsense, as to pass on the experience to clients. Axeia, I may very well use that script you suggested, but not yet - I am not looking to invest monitarily into this project just yet (other than webspace) as I believe they are charging for commercial use. But yes, it seems to be quite perfect for my home page
  8. blasphemy! i will not hear you speak (type) such words! Graphic designers make the virtual world go round. Haha... (and yes I agree, but we each have our focus, and for the rest, well, we have forums)
  9. each page is separate using include()...
  10. Alright, alright, I'll chew on that for a bit.. (BTW, Yslow will have to be super fantastical to get me to switch from chrome! But we will see...)
  11. Thanks guys, tons of help, as usual. nrg, smushit is awesome, but it always gives me errors, maybe because I'm using chrome? It only works when I give direct links to images. axeia, I hear this talk of "don't use <center>...", but if it works, why not? It doesn't NOT work in any browser, so forgive me, but sounds like code snobery! Ha... Otherwise, I am obviously missing something...
  12. Hey, I've just launched my portfolio site and need some feedback! Thanks! http://www.draconicmedia.com/
  13. Genius! Thanks!!! PHP include() was exactly what I needed. The gods of efficiency are smiling.
  14. Thanks Axeia (once again to my rescue) I'll check out php include.
  15. Hey, Out of curiosity, what is the most common general trend of website architecture? i.e. If I have a layout whereby there is a border, links and a background that are the same no matter what content is being displayed (home, about us, services.. etc all show up within the same border), should I copy and paste my code for home.html in each page, services.html.. etc, changing only the content? Or is there a more efficient way of going about this? At the moment, my site has one main page with a div that loads various content using an ajax pagerequest script. It was pointed out to me by a couple members here that that kills my SEO. So, now that I see the light, how am I to fix this? Any thoughts? Thanks!
