  • Galleria Plugin / JQuery help please (and Thankyou!)

    Aha! I saw that error myself, but had no idea what was causing it... That's interesting - does that mean that you can't actually use the hover event without specifying a mouseout function? Doesn't that make 'hover' a bit po…

  • How Do They Do It? (Banner Rotation)

    I like that a lot - look waaaaaay simpler than any other method I've seen. Nice one.

  • How Do They Do It? (Banner Rotation)

    I don't see a Javascript being called, so perhaps a PHP image rotator? It certainly seems to be a random selection, several refreshes doesn't seem to be revealing any particular order... Matt Mullenweg developed the code for a method to a…

  • sidebar

    A div will only extend as far as it's content needs it to - so you'll have to fake it using a bacground image that spans the whole page, but has an area designed to look like a separate column. Try this article http://www.alistapart.com/ar…

  • Manchester City FC

    Where does £2m go in website design? I mean, seriously, what the hell were Man City being invoiced for? An office complex for the design team??? That's nuts. It's a nice design, I like it, but somebody saw them coming...

    OK. Looked it up (briefly). In Ireland, Data protection rights make sure that the information stored about you is: • factually correct; • only available to those who should have it; and • only used for stated purposes. Those who do collect informa…

  • Internet Data Mining Web Apps?

    I dunno - it seems to be just B2B, where cold calling can be perfectly acceptable. I don't see how they could do it otherwise. The other side of the coin is that you don't necessarily have to say what prompted you to contact them in the f…

  • Web Site Color Scheme

    @ Apostrophe - that carsonified article is excellent, very well written too. I must remember that C.R.A.P. ! :D @ James - Already looking a lot better, but - when looking at your colour wheel, be aware that the prominent colour of your logo is red…

  • Web Site Color Scheme

    Hey James, As a first point, it is nigh impossible for anyone to tell you specifically which colours to use - as a business site, the chances are that the business already has some sort of corporate colours they like to use in their logo's and…

    Nice One. Sterling prices are always cheaper for us (which is why we're always hopping over the border for shopping :D ).

    @ Itkthius You should do a running thread on the build, definately. I would love to see how you get on and maybe give it another shot. The price bracket is right and with what Matt said about future proofing as well...it could be very, very useful …

    Somebody, somewhere, has to be watching you by now. You're on the list of suspects. Seriously - your entire house must be built out of empty cologne bottles and toblerone from duty free. Is your hallway one of those conveyor belt pathways to mo…

  • Padding Problem

    At first glance, it's not padding you need, it's margin (margin-top, in this case). Padding is an internal (i.e. inside the div) measurement, while margin is an external 'push away from X' value. Try #blog-padding{ width: 800…
