What's webdesign for you?
I just wanted to ensure that neither of us saw it as an argument =) Well, depends on what kind of research you mean, I think. He has the contact with the client, so goes through their brand and such, but I don't think he does any formal, so to…

What's webdesign for you?
@chrisburton Since this is in text, it's occasionally hard to know people's tone, so I'll preface it with saying that I see this as "discussion" rather than "argument". I'm curious to know what kind of title …

What's webdesign for you?
A whole bunch of stuff! =) Things I'd say are included (not a comprehensive list): Colour scheme Typography Branding (partly the two above) Photos/graphics/icons Ambiance/Mood: individual elements, overreaching design element (for instance b…

When there is no Javascript turned on. What other solution?
I can't believe I forgot about Modernizr, especially since that's really what I've done when I've been in similar situations.
-
When there is no Javascript turned on. What other solution?
To display code, add 4 spaces (at least) in the beginning of each line. Yes, that works as well, though my solution has the advantage of less CSS inline. =) I would probably do something along these lines: In CSS: .hidden { display: none; } …
-
When there is no Javascript turned on. What other solution?
Go with the other direction. Hide it using JS to start with. IE, something along these lines: You have your class hide. Rather than starting with the image having the class hide in the HTML, make one of your first JS calls be to apply the class hid…

Most semantic HTML for a "latest tweets" list?
Amusingly enough, I am a lot more fond of markdown, but that might be related to having struggled with (and hated) bbcode. Thank you! And oooh, I'd missed that feed fetcher in WP.
-
Most semantic HTML for a "latest tweets" list?
Huh, I'd be interested to look at the solution, if you feel like sharing. I just created something for myself that pulls from DA, Github (+Gists) and CodePen, and decided against Twitter since all I found on the matter suggested it was no longe…
-
Most semantic HTML for a "latest tweets" list?
In a similar situation, I went with the article solution (wrapped in li-tags). Out of curiosity, what are you using to get the tweets? I thought the API was severely limited now?

How many people in here run Linux?
@jamy_za +1, if I could. I was just about to suggest virtual machine to @Joe_Temp, and then read your post. It's how I do it =)

How many people in here run Linux?
@Joe_Temp I know that feeling! I've been using Gimp, but when I started working i had to get PS installed to be able to read the layers from my coworker properly. I was never using Gimp that much, but there are so many things you get used to …

prepending and appending graphics to a header using JQuery in WordPress
yeah, it's a PITA when you're staring at code that "should" work, but doesn't. My first suggestion was, as I mentioned, based on me having had to troubleshoot my own work, trying to figure out why... whatever it was (I hones…

prepending and appending graphics to a header using JQuery in WordPress
Alright, I know the problem. =) Or, well, I know where the problem is. Pro-tip: Use the tools in the browser. The console of Chrome's Web Inspector gave me the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'fle…

Does anyone NOT use a preprocessor?
@KeithPickering You're not weird, I completely agree with you. That's kind of why I don't like CoffeeScript (that, and I like curly bracers!). That said, to me, at least Sass doesn't make me feel like I have lost any control. I …

WordPress wp_head call bringing in loads of crap
Check out Roots, in particular the various cleanup and stuff in /lib/. There's some very useful things to mine there, even if you don't want to use all of it.

How many people in here run Linux?
@AlenAbdula Well, if everyone reasons that way ("I'll wait until it has before I switch"), it never will, because then no one is actually creating the thing that you need! =) It's very possible that I've never had issues b…

prepending and appending graphics to a header using JQuery in WordPress
Post it online so we can take a looksie =)

How many people in here run Linux?
I have Windows at work for IE testing and also to be able to open our designer's PSDs. I really don't do any kind of graphical design personally, so I don't have need for Photoshop outside of that particular usecase.

Preventing Text from Disappearing
Why do you have position: absolute on both the .feature-content and .subpage-wrap?
-
How many people in here run Linux?
That's how I first ended up doing anything in Linux, a class in Operating Systems that included shellscript, and installing Ubuntu was one of the suggestions. One of these days when I have time/energy I should go back to prodding at Gentoo to …

prepending and appending graphics to a header using JQuery in WordPress
What errors are you getting when you're going to the page? It might be that you've run into the same issue I did: jQuery in WordPress is in a no-conflict mode (I bet that @traq can explain further, he tends to be able to vocalize what I�…

How many people in here run Linux?
We ended up wiping Windows from my boyfriend's netbook, to be able to get Ubuntu onto it, so we had no Windows until I bought my current laptop. Eventually I'll probably get around to setup a virtual machine at home as well (at work I have…
-
How many people in here run Linux?
@traq Yeah, that's when I went fully into Ubuntu as well. I'd been dualbooting on my laptop (but rarely actually used Windows), and had XP on my stationary, until I started to see at least a fair share of BSODs. Currently I'm dual-bo…

Navigation hover issue in IE
Hi there! First, it might be a good idea to create a Codepen with the code to make it easier to read. Second... From a usability perspective I would strongly advice against using hover as the trigger, both due to the problem you're having rig…

How many people in here run Linux?
I do, Ubuntu on both home and work computer. Been running it since... probably 2008, since I have a very strong impression of Hardy Heron (8.04) being the first one for me.

Just finished the PHP class on Codecademy.com... Now what?
To add to what has already been stated: Yes, it's a good idea to pick up at least basic MySQL and understanding of databases. As a tip on where to start in thinking, use PDO rather than the mysql* functions in PHP, to get a bit more security. …

HTML, CSS, Javascript and especially Jquery!
My recommendation goes to Sublime Text 2, which to me is a nice and calming workspace that gets more and more useful as I learn to use the keyboard more. It has quite a few plugins for various tasks.

WordPress Vs Traditional Coding
Depends to a certain extent on what you want to accomplish. There's a lot of call for both PHP/WordPress coders and .net coders, so I think you'll be able to find job either way. Are you wanting to freelance? If so, I would probably aim f…

hNews Microformat
I would use the article tag for a post, yes. Just because something, in principle, could be "independently distributable or reusable" doesn't mean it would. That said, RSS feeds are one way to reuse a post.
