    concern of infographic

    If the infographic is an image (I dunno what else it could be but I'm covering my bases here) then: 1) Yes it will slow loading time unless you optimize the image really well. and slower loading time's COULD cause bigger bounce rate. 2) Probably so... since it's only 600 wide I THINK most...

    Searching out parts of a long variable content in php

    strpos returns the FIRST instance of the string you're looking for... That's why it doesn't work :P I still don't know how to make it work though ;) sorry bro PS: Wrap your code in php tags (PHP)(/PHP) where the ()'s are really []'s

    CSS positioning help

    Okay disregard anything you read in the post before.... the reason you're getting the overlap is because of position: fixed; on your sidebars (the right one does it too). Unfortunately, taking that out causes many many unwanted effects because the site was very poorly coded (sorry it's the truth...

    Searching out parts of a long variable content in php

    I should change that... Up until this semester I've been going to school at Sewanee but I live in Shelbyville. I've got some friends in Fayetteville, haven't been there in a while though.

    Searching out parts of a long variable content in php

    Now that is a different beast entirely and I have no help to give there. I'm not really a php person, just kind of know the syntax ;)

    Searching out parts of a long variable content in php

    I would explode the string into an array and then loop through the array searching for the word you want. For example: $story = "The princess went to the grand ball by herself. She was waring a yellow dress and grand shoes. While there, she dance with lots of men but one was a grand prince...

    Newbie needs help!

    Personally, I use Gimp to make a rough sketch of my design. I do that to figure out the numbers like you said with pencil and paper. Also you can pull out background textures and stuff like that which can't really be done with CSS. The typical PSD to HTML is not a good idea.

    Comments and Critique

    It all looks pretty good to me. The code looks clean. I would really suggest learning html5. Even if it's just the smaller parts (header, footer, aside, nav).

    Dreamweaver Layers

    Everything Phreaddee said plus... don't use Dreamweaver in anything but code view... As for photoshop you can definitely "design" in photoshop but that should just be like a drawing that you would look at when you're writing your code. You shouldn't be using most of the images (with the...

    New Portfolio Website

    Thanks for pointing out that there were errors. I validated it before converting the html to wordpress but there were a couple little errors in the head after all the wordpress stuff was added. Now fixed!

    New Portfolio Website

    Ah I see, I honed in on the footer issue and ignored what you said about letter spacing. I was thinking the extra spacing would make it more readable :P guess not EDIT: So I've changed the letter-spacing on all the main content. Everything that's in the curly font I kept spaced because it just...

    New Portfolio Website

    Hmmm I'm on Chrome and don't see what you're talking about... If overflow: hidden doesn't break anything I'll use that though :P It shouldn't EDIT: Changed to hidden. Mind checking to see if the problem persists? I didn't see any change

    Typography Question

    Cool thanks, I've checked it in Mozilla. If anybody has IE and wouldn't mind looking at it that'd be great! I'm on a Mac :P

    Typography Question

    Haha yeah it does stick out like a sore thumb. Funny because that's one of the only letters in that font that's like that. EDIT: Also I just realized the site is HUGE! I've been designing it with chrome zoomed out to 75% so I need to work on that too. So if you don't mind zoom out to 75% when...

    Typography Question

    So the first time I asked for a review on a site of mine it was almost unanimous that my typography needed work. I'm working on redoing my portfolio site to be something more normal and I want to get an opinion before I actually finish the site as to what you guys think about the typography...
