Removing Indent on Child Posts
Thanks for taking such a close look -- the basic structure is taken from a tut Jeff Starr put up on Digging Into WordPress a while back -- the wrap on the 2nd and 3rd columns seemed a bit odd to me as well, but I'm not gonna argue with Jeff Sta…

critique my wordpress site
I think there's real potential there, and I like the top nav a lot -- the concern that jumps out at me is the branding at the top. It seems awfully small, sort of lost in that very large header, and the text is so close in color to the textur…

WP single, page, ...

Take a look
Just saw this -- with all due respect, if this is a serious website, it needs a ground-up redesign. There's virtually nothing here to work with; garish colors, random, disconnected elements, and broken links.

Best up to date Web programming books?
Sitepoint also usually produces very useful, up-to-date books.

Problem with background-image (resolved)
Thanks for the help, folks -- don't know why I was stuck on using background-image instead of background -- feel a bit foolish now, as I really did know that -- thanks again!

Blocking free email accounts for online form
Glad you were able to get it running -- I was a teacher for quite a few years, so I know first-hand how important a service like this is (sadly enough).

Blocking free email accounts for online form
This almost seems too easy, but could you adapt the code shown here?

Private area WP
I'll second the recommendation for the Members plugin -- I used it to achieve exactly what you're looking for on a client site.

Blocking free email accounts for online form
Gotcha; makes perfect sense. I'm assuming, then, that students would send the messages using a school-based email address (me@mydistrict.edu or somesuch). I'm definitely not a wizard when it comes to regular expressions, but I found this…

Blocking free email accounts for online form
If I can ask, what is the purpose of blocking those email hosts? You've listed three very popular domains which could lead to excluding a very large number of potential users. There may be an entirely legitimate reason to do so; I'm just…

css-tricks.com layout
It's done through media queries -- @ChrisCoyier did a write-up when he rolled out the new design, you might be able to find it in the archives.

Hello my name is....
Great idea for a thread! Hey everyone, Name's Chris Clark. Live about 50 miles south of Seattle in a tiny place you won't have heard of. :) Taught elementary school for fifteen years, and decided about three years ago to make my web d…

how can i protect my template from thiefs ...?
In the Sitepoint book 'Build Your own Wicked Wordpress Themes', Jeffrey Way -- who ran ThemeForest for two years -- says: "Piracy is simply a cost that must be factored into the equation...While it does help to send takedown notices t…

How to make compatibale a css design for all the browsers?
There are significant differences in the methods each browser employs to interpret and display CSS, especially Internet Explorer -- it's probably best to google this question and read as many tutorials as you can, as it can be a somewhat comple…

PDF viewer
I used the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/document-links-widget/">Document Links Widget plugin on a couple client sites. It doesn't offer pdf viewing, but makes the downloadable part quite easy.

Wordpress database with PHP framework
You can modify and customize the WP admin panel itself -- google it and you'll find plenty of examples.

Has anyone heard of PLUJO?
Never heard of it -- if you do wind up going with plujo I'd be interested to know about cost, pros and cons, etc. The website feels like an awfully hard sell job to me.

The wordpress loop
As a side-bar, there's an excellent plugin called reveal-ids-for-wp-admin. Does exactly what it says: shows IDs for posts, pages, categories, etc. Can be very, very helpful if you're building a lot of custom loops.

Please critique my website
Hi Leonard, A couple thoughts. First, I think the gray color scheme gives the site too washed-out a feel and somehow makes it feel dated (not sure what combo of elements is doing it, but the design feels very dated to me). Second, I would recomme…

Where can I learn how to achieve this effect?
Looks like they're using the canvas element, which I won't pretend to understand -- however, the most recent post on css-tricks.com happens to cover the canvas element. :)

First WordPress Theme: Please Critique
*sigh* Only 15...man I'm getting old! Like the colors, like the title font. A couple thoughts/suggestions: -- the 'jd french' in your header could probably be larger. -- just having a link to your most recent post, rather than the…

Hand code a blog?
It sounds like WP is definitely the way to go, at least for the blog -- no sense having to manually update, archive, etc., when WP is set up for exactly those tasks. If you don't want the whole site to be WP, my understanding is that you can i…

My new website is finally up...
Trey, another thought...one theme I think I've picked up from your responses here is that you have a design background but the technical details (html/css, etc) are holding you up. May I suggest that you try creating some mock-ups, either with…

APPLE or NORMAL notebook
@markthema3 -- lol! How could I forget Linux??? Okay, let's make it an even 25% for each category, and I'll up the over/under to 80. :)

My new website is finally up...
@treyrust, in reading through this thread, I think the commentary can be distilled as follows: originality is an outstanding goal. Powerful, authentic originality, however, comes from a profound understanding of the conventions of one's mediu…

APPLE or NORMAL notebook
As TheDoc says, it definitely comes down to personal preference. I was a Windows user for many, many years before switching to Mac -- and I would never go back. I personally do find apps on Mac OS easier to use -- even Microsoft Office. Doesn…

Website Feedback
1st WP theme??? Wow. I know you've expressed frustration with WP a couple times in your question threads, but man...you rocked it. Clean, easy nav, nice colors,...my only disappointment is that I did NOT see the little fish pointer...otherwi…
