Anyone use E Text Editor?
I use e-text editor. But like Rob, I don't use "auto-close" the tag... In fact, I'm not sure if it has it or not. I used to use Dreamweaver (code view only of course) and I'm never going back. In fact, I want to use Cod…

Wordpress Frameworks
Well, the word "frameworks" can be vastly interpreted... Starkers can technically be called a framework because its something to build around a pre-existing "frame." And I have quite a bit of experience working with Starkers...…

Wordpress Frameworks
I guess because I can't quite harness the awesome power that is a framework, I don't understand and can't see the full potential\reason to use one. I'm using Hybrid now on my company's redesign, and I'm just make my ow…

Feedback on this new design
Don't get discouraged.. It's always good to try things out of the box, you never know, you may create the next box. Imagine the first guy who said "I'm going to think out of the box and make a website that looks like a birds-eye…

Website\Blog Disclaimers?
Sounds right Ikthius, but because we're discussing legal matters and not just something as simple as validation, I'm slightly uneasy about it. Doc, what you're saying is making sense as well, but what about other images, lets say a m…

Modx CMS... What do you think?
Then, to add insult to injury, I was told in a forum that "that is the beauty of open source" as I now had the opportunity to bring the plugin up to date for the community. Amen. I was told something similar once... If I KNEW how to upda…

Kompozer (or others) VS Dreamweaver
Personally, my suggestion is this... If you're getting into web design, mess around for a little with a WYSIWYG "What You See Is What You Get" and see how it works... its obviously the most visual you'll find when making edits.…

Looking decent... On the banner under the logo\header, i'd take a closer look at the gradient on the left side... It's not the same with the background, so it kind of looks a little funny. Also, the middle col at the 3 columns, I'd m…
