Better to get in the habit of clearing floats, tho

Just position elements over the image where you need them, if they're square/rectangular in shape. Depending on how this is laid out, and I want to stress that it's only necessary if they're arranged in some irregular layout, this would be one of those times AP divs might come in handy. Try to...

If there are floated elements inside the div, it will collapse. Clear your floats.

You'd add a style to the class .selected, which would make the current page's link look different from the others.

They use a ridiculous, huge, massive image. You can do it with CSS pretty easily.

Use the street image as a background, and position the rest on top.

I'm not much for using code written by other people, but I do like tools that make my life easier. If you're interested in learning SASS, the Compass library is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. It uses the power of SASS mixins (which you can also create yourself) to make things super...

Most of my personal projects are on Hostgator. Haven't had any issues. I had WebHostingHub for a while. They were really good. No support for Ruby, and Python support is really basic. No "problems" with them though.

Using it... I kid. But seriously, I can't see what's going on in those images. Too small.

You're on the right path, but not quite there. What you're looking for is affectionately referred to as "Responsive" or "Adaptive" design. This is the blog post that started the concept: http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design And here is the simplest guide you'll find on how to do...

This will work for template images, but you need to go one step further for content images, since WP adds the width and height attributes. The easiest way is a bit of jQuery: Assuming your content area has a class of .post and jQuery 1.7 or higher: $(function(){ $('.post...

I actually changed that page a while back so tapping "portfolio" would just go straight to works.html. I found it more usable, but in the end, it doesn't matter, since that's the old version of my site. In fact, I'll just go ahead and remove the link to avoid further confusion.

This is what scares me about the situation: I realize not all web coders know a whole lot of JS. Hell, I was in that boat until about a year ago, but unwilling to learn, plus doesn't really know CSS either?

Just because DW writes the code for you doesn't mean it writes it correctly. For instance: Let's say you want to code a simple layout that has a main content area with a sidebar to the right. In DW, you'd "draw" those 2 sections, and DW would dutifully code 2 absolutely positioned divs, side by...

If you're switching to a hover-based menu, you can scrap the JS and just use CSS. There's a link in my sig to another thread that has a very simple CSS-only drop down menu.

codecademy.com - Great place to learn.

Everything goes inside public_html.

I have a ban hammer. That's about all we can do. He wasn't adding any substance to the discussions, anyway.

...and I do basically the opposite. Not that either way is wrong or right. That's the beauty of the new semantic tags in HTML5. Structure the page in a way that makes sense. Me? IMHO, "section" would be more of an "area" of the site, such as the main content area, or the sidebar. "article"...

Search the CSS file for .brand Find the width setting within that and change it to what you want. I'm going to warn you, though. Unless you know Rails, and have access to their source, you probably won't be able to just copy the site.
