SEO stuff and adding a lot of pages and content
This will count as duplicate content with Google, thumbs down! You were right to be concerned. Static pages are the best since they are simple to index, so that is actually a plus. Google has told web designers a million times, use "static"…

SEO Image File Name - Do Underscores (_) matter?
Underscores are seen by search engines generally as "word combiners", and hyphens are seen as "word separators." Scott was right, never use underscores for anything. You can make a sure bet that this issue reflects one of the man…

Should I get a design degree?
Education is great, but real world experience is the real key to being good at it. Another thing to consider that many company's won't hire someone without a degree, Microsoft being one of them, regardless of the position. Also, college ma…

IE8 vs My Site
Why? IE8 is long history. Even if someone has IE8, they will automatically be prompted to update on the spot. IE10 is out now anyway.

Mobile (max-device-width) Pulling in mobile styles for desktop screen resolutions.
HTMLmainiac is right, desktops are landscape by default today because they have 9:6, 16:9, etc, aspect ratios. The older desktop monitors are mainly 4:3, you should consider these as well since people still use them today in some cases. I size my si…

Opinion on site
@frijolito56 I guess this is a conversation about your logo, you obviously had no problem talking negatively about his site, so why shouldn't others talk negatively about your logo? Practice what you preach.

Opinion on site
"To be completely honest, I got sick of waiting for the page to load." the site loads very fast, you're just talking negatively about his work. Also, I noticed how you guys talk trash to people, and when they respond you just delete t…

Nice how you guys edit other peoples posts when they don't agree with you and you talk negatively about other peoples hard work. Good job.

You should add some pictures to your blog to go along with your posts. Maybe make some graphics or something.

@frijolito56 The site of your logo hurts my eyes, it doesn't look like you have much room to talk.

@htmlmaniac Good job! Don't listen to josh, your site loaded very fast for me, I guess his pentium 4 crapped out on him. The design looks just fine, keep up the good work.

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
People in india do the same jobs Americans do for $9.00 an hour that otherwise would pay $25.00 an hour here. This is why all of our jobs are outsourced now and Americans can't find jobs. Its also another reason I'm self employed, I can�…

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
@supperman Never give a price up front, but rather a range. A lot of time people will start wanting more and more after you've already begun the project, yet they don't want to pay more. I stopped making websites for others years ago becau…

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
@watson My point exactly! I wouldn't pay a bunch of money for somebody's site they simply built on a template that anyone can use. Also, I never stated that Google would rank a page differently based on its layout. I stated that they aren&…

@thedoc Again, you failed to comprehend what I stated.

How many media queries is too many?
I actually was not referring to you Gaber. I was referring to @pmac and @thedoc They are trying to start a fight, but I care nothing for it. It's obvious they don't think much before they act. As far as whether to use an external style sh…

Sounds to me like you guys are just trying to start a fight, yawn.

How many media queries is too many?
@pmac when did I state that I had a website with 30 sections and 500 pages? I didn't, that was an example of a situation that might cause problems if someone was using external style sheets, I think you need to re-read the post. Also, when did …

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
It does seem logical. 100,000 sites with all the same layout and appearance? Think about it. Matt Cutts stated that original design and content is favored by Google on his Youtube videos. I was simply reiterating what he stated.

I agree Sean. Clients want something that is simple to manage, and a CMS is necessary here. But CMS's also make coding much more difficult because now you have to play with their code. Nonetheless, I wasn't telling you not to use one, I th…

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
Wordpress templates are analogous to trailer homes in that they all look the same, and they're all worthless. Nonetheless I do use Wordpress, just not for my real websites, but more for blogging purposes. By the way, I don't live in a trai…

The Price Is Right - How much would you charge for this Wordpress project?
Wordpress sites don't carry much value as they are simply templates. Google doesn't give web designers brownie points for using them, nor do they frown upon them. Google see's them as "just being there." If you create an ori…

SEO factor affecting web visibility in search results ?
@paulie I think you misunderstood what I was trying to state. I meant that new content does not necessarily rank higher than content from 10 years ago. Although, Google's Matt Cutts has stated that you shouldn't leave a website idle with n…

SEO factor affecting web visibility in search results ?
Actually fresh and current content doesn't matter. Infact, a page that is 10 years old could rank much higher than another page that is 2 months old. In some cases fresh content will perform better, especially in the case that an article's…

Smartphones displaying site like it was months old.
Renders perfectly on my Galaxy SII. Although the links are really difficult to read on those black backgrounds, even when zooming in. You won't be able to size any website for every mobile device, not possible, unless you feel like making 10,00…

CSS DIV positioning
Your welcome linardzb! Yeah, I used absolute positioning to create the entire structure of every page on my newest website "pctechauthority", it works great. Those percentage values are part of what makes this so flexible too. You can try…

How many media queries is too many?
Actually it could be a maintainability nightmare either way. It depends on the structure of your site and what you are designing for. If your site consists of 500+ pages that is divided into 30 sections, all with different formatting, then external …

Alright, start by implementing the "background-size: cover;" property in CSS. This will instruct the browser to attempt to stretch the image as far as possible to fill both horizontal and vertical axes. You stated your image is 1300px corr…
