    Server side include help

    That's pretty much what you are looking for. However, make sure you use htmlspecialchars to escape output. Otherwise someone could enter malicious code as the username and send the address to innocent visitors.

    CSS based web design

    Okay, now what?

    Looking At Web Design Courses...

    This man speaks of the truth. No one cares about web design certifications and diplomas. Either get a graphic design or programming degree. Web design changes every 6 month anyway, so what you learn will be obsolete before you graduate. As he said, everything you need to know can be found...

    Start with a descriptive <title> and meta descriptions. The All in One SEO plugin does the job just fine.

    Web/Graphics Designer Needed

    Why should we offer you free work? There are plenty of much more important and helpful non-profits that will accept our free work. Most freelancers charge anywhere between 30 and 120$ an hour to design sites because we create value.

    Although it looks fantastic, it feels a lot like a purchased WordPress theme. The home page just feels like a standard page, not a landing page worthy of a web designer. The rest of the pages also have this feeling, as if it was just content tacked onto a high quality template. Content-wise, I...

    Rate this Page.

    I think it looks fantastic for a blog, although it's not extraordinary. I really like the header and the logo. The sidebar is okay, but doesn't do anything special to look good.

    Invisible text frowned upon by Google? Even get you banned?

    You seem to have a very wrong conception of search engines optimization. What you want to do has been severely penalized by search engines for a few years. Every month, Google is improving its algorythm to mess with people who are trying to cheat the search engines. If you want to rank for...

    Web Page Design for all Screen Resolution.

    BAD IDEA. Nowadays, we have 1920px-wide monitors as well as 400px-wide smartphones, and everything inbetween. If you go on Wikipedia with a 1080p monitor, you'll have to zoom in or resize your window to have readable line widths. Instead, use media queries to build responsive designs...

    Should a daycare have a website?

    I will answer with a question: who would visit that website? In your case, parents that are "shopping" for a daycare might do, so you should do everything in your possible to make it look comforting and trustworthy. I'd put some meal/activity schedules, safety information and the like there...

    Web Certification: Where To

    W3Schools is always criticized for being a terrible source of information. It would be like being certified by Paris Hilton on how to deal with PR. The consensus seems to be that there are no worthwhile certifications for web designers. If you absolutely want to get certified, go for AdWords...

    Favorite html/css/javascript/etc editor?

    I'm not very picky, but Notepad++ is a FANTASTIC tool when you learn to use it. I installed the zen coding plugin so I can expand selectors (html>body>div#test*3) to HTML in a keystroke. Also, alt+select will select rectangles in your text. Try it!

    Hojaplata - natural jewelry

    It looks great, although loading was a tad on the slow side. You might want to check your load time with Pingdom.

    PHP File Access

    I have nothing to add. DesignerBill has covered the topic and provided the best answer. I merely confirm that using .htaccess is the best solution here.

    Hey guys

    There's always the Google Translate button/widget. There might be better options, but so far Google has the best translations.

    How do I put a video on my website

    The easiest way is to go with youtube. Upload your video there and use the embed code right under the video. Otherwise, JWPlayer is a fantastic option if you don't want to upload elsewhere.

    Psd to html

    That's not the most satisfying answer you will ever get, but HIRE A PROFESSIONAL. The design part of a website is easy. Turning ideas into HTML... not so much. You need to take into account various browsers' inconsistencies, page size, different screen resolutions etc. There's a reason people...

    Can you upload your PHP code to pastebin and post the link here?
