Best platform for user messaging/inboxes
Thanks guys. If you don't mind me asking, what is it in particular that is a pain when working with BuddyPress? On paper it sounds promising, but obviously I don't want to get too far down that road if it's just going to cause me a …

Best platform for user messaging/inboxes
Cheers Will, I'll check it out. Sounds like a good fit. Just curious, have you used it before yourself? Still open to other options if anyone else has suggestions!

Website redesign feedback/critique
A couple of quick suggestions: Make the contact form larger. It's the only thing on the page and I'm guessing that most inquiries are going to be longer than 20-30 words. You may or may not agree with this point, but if you're look…

how to play flv in html5
As HTML5 video doesn't support the FLV file format then if you want to play an FLV then the only options you have are Flash based: 1) Use an online FLV player and embed that into your HTML. 2) Create your own FLV player in Flash. 3) Convert th…

Making images appear
For accessibility purposes you'll want to use a button for the image you're clicking rather than just adding a cursor like Christopher did, as you can't tab to and activate an image using the keyboard. Also, ideally you should be hid…

Improving my WordPress Workflow?
I get what you're saying realph. I've run into the same problem and what I usually do is just export the remote database and import into it into my local setup. Then once I've made any changes I need I'll just export it from my l…

CSS Sprites in a UL
In this situation I usually just use an empty span tag before the strong tag and apply the sprite background image to that instead. It would result in a small amount of unsemantic markup, but in my opinion it's worth it to save yourself 8+ HTT…

1 WordPress site with multiple domain spellings?
Hey guys, thanks so much for the help. @Senff, you're my hero. What you suggested is what we ended up doing. The internal linking isn't really a big deal so long as they can access any page in the site via any of the domains (eg, mysite.c…

1 WordPress site with multiple domain spellings?
Hey @Senff, thanks for the reply. That's definitely what they have set up currently, but can it be set up that way with Wordpress? I was under the impression that you could only install WP to a single domain name. I installed it to mysite.com a…

CSS best practice, lots of classes or larger class definitions
This is one of the reasons preprocessors are gaining popularity. You can use a minimal number of classes but not end up with a huge CSS file. But if you're not able to use one then I'd just be sensible about the number of classes used, li…
