PHP MessageI have done web development in C# and Java in the past and recently had to do a project in PHP (my first PHP project).... is that PHP does not lend itself to a solid design like some other web development languages. I am not a fan of PHP.... - Sun Nov 26 18:46:56 2006:
Cheap laptop MessageLooking to buy a cheap laptop for web browsing and basic word processing needs. I'm a PC user in general although I'm open to a Mac. Is it possible to pick something up for around $600? Any... - Sun Nov 26 18:44:22 2006:
Computer_Dying CommentPretty easy to do. You just swap the drive out and attach the main cables to the new one. You may have to tweak some basic settings in the BIOS at your boot up and of course you'll have to alter the pins at the back of the drive based on the instructions... - Sun Nov 26 18:41:34 2006:
Have_you_had_any_success_with_affiliate_ads_on_your_site CommentThat's incredible. I'm assuming their affiliate links are to products that are being blogged about. For example if it's a sports blog then you'd have sports related links on there because you know the viewers are there for that reason in the first... - Sun Nov 26 18:39:32 2006:
StumbleUpon CommentSame here. A lot of the downloadable toolbars contain spyware and slow down your machine by taking up valueable system resources. I wouldn't easily download any toolbar that isn't widely used such as the Google toolbar or even the dogpile one which is... - Sun Nov 26 18:34:25 2006:
Mailing_Lists CommentBigList is not cheap at about $40 a month, but I've heard of these guys if you're looking for a hosted mailing list solution. It may be worth doing it manually at first unless your userbase is really... - Thu Nov 16 02:44:48 2006:
Eliminating_tables_from_your_design CommentFunny thing is that after starting this thread we ran into an issue on a project where it was becoming such a headache we decided to just throw the one section into a table. Worked like a charm although we did feel wrong about doing it because everything... - Thu Nov 16 02:43:17 2006:
Is it becoming too much of a buzz word? MessageIt seems that nowadays every manager out there is using XML as part of their proposed solution. Clearly XML comes into play with a lot of projects, but isn't it getting a little overused now? Frankly I'm a little tired of having it thrown out simply... - Thu Nov 16 02:40:50 2006:
Best_Computer_Brands CommentDell are fantastic, but I'm getting tired of their customer service. Still my most highly recommended brand. HP laptops are pretty decent, but they don't seem to have the quality of Dells and I have heard great things about Sony and... - Thu Nov 16 02:38:28 2006:
Sell_yourself_or_have_somebody_do_it_for_you CommentThere are some sites out there like guru.com and elance.com that let you sell your services. I personally had more success selling myself through word of mouth and advertising than those sites. I find that there are a lot of people offering the world for... - Thu Nov 16 02:36:16 2006:
How_many_names_do_you_own CommentI own over 100 domains. A lot of them are related to specific ventures that I work on for myself or clients and I always look out for ones that I could sell at some point. I never pay a lot for a domain although I have paid $60 each for a few of... - Sun Nov 12 23:31:13 2006:
Any_good_books_on_advanced_XML CommentI like Applied XML Programming for Microsoft .NET by Microsoft Press. It might be a little dated now, but it has some advanced info on XML and it ties in really well with the .NET programming language that has become very... - Sun Nov 12 23:24:19 2006:
Good_way_to_get_backlinks CommentThe other issue is with SPAM and inappropriate content. You can add a link to one site and then they switch it under the hood to really inappropriate concept or some spamming outfit and then you're in trouble.It definitely takes a lot of maintenance... - Thu Nov 9 00:57:18 2006:
High_PR_Low_Traffic_Sites CommentYou can also get targetted traffic to your site and then sell advertising. I'm not saying it's the most ethical way to go, but you've already got the tough part of the equation which is the PR, so if you get the traffic then you can sell advertising and... - Thu Nov 9 00:54:00 2006:
Online_parties CommentJust be careful about the spammers and predators out there. They absolutely love this sort of thing and are always looking to crash the party and take advantage of the community you've built. You have to be proactive and fight them off or it will destroy... - Thu Nov 9 00:52:19 2006:
Advice_about_selling_ad_space CommentThe fact that you have traffic doesn't necessarily mean that you have a good userbase. You can use Google Analytics and possibly your forum software to give you an indication of how many regulars vs uniques you actually have. My first suggestion is to... - Thu Nov 9 00:49:05 2006:
Do_you_own_your_own_name CommentSadly people's identities are pretty easy to uncover these days. It doesn't take too much effort.I think that owning your own domain is cool just in case you ever hit it really big... - Tue Nov 7 03:04:40 2006:
Favorite_Search_Engine CommentI personally like Google simply because of the efficiency of the algorithm. I don't mind the ads at all and in fact I often find them useful. I think Yahoo is also a great search engine and if you want to try something cool and different, go to ask.com... - Sun Nov 5 17:39:37 2006:
Do_they_really_work CommentIt's sort of a catch 22. You want to provide a great service to others but you need to make money to support the cause and to compensate for your time so you add ads to the site. The best you can do is to try and make them blend in with the overall L&F... - Sun Nov 5 17:36:07 2006:
Eliminating tables from your design MessageThis thread was inspired by a previous thread in this section regarding the usage of CSS. I have been involved in a lot of discussions regarding the elimination of HTML tables and the usage of CSS to replace them.What are your thoughts and experiences... - Sun Nov 5 17:34:07 2006:
I_never_understood_what_this_was CommentCSS is also extremely useful for layout. There is a school of thought that one should move away from tables and use CSS for layout instead. It's such an important topic that I am going to start a new thread about it.I am a big believer in CSS though... - Fri Nov 3 13:24:45 2006:
dotmobi_names CommentRight. Good point and a clear example. I wonder though if there is an argument for the dotmobis in the case of very complex sites. For example, you're not going to display myspace or CNN on a handheld device no matter how crafy your styles are. You... - Thu Nov 2 00:15:09 2006:

It_s_getting_bad CommentI absolutely hate it. Ruins a piece of each and every day of my life. I hate to sound depressing, but it's absolutely horrible. I have used http://www.mailinator.com in the past and it's pretty good if you don't need a permanent address with them and... - Wed Nov 1 01:27:51 2006:
Article_Writing CommentThat's a really good suggestion. It's not always easy to find the time though and that does pose problems, but in general you have to try and do it. I also find that it's best to differentiate yourself from the crowd with the content. If you submit... - Tue Oct 31 01:30:01 2006:
My_Favorite_RSS_Reader CommentThanks for the great tip. That's what we're all here for :)I like the new Google Reader. It's a lot better than the old version and does a good job. As with all Google things it's also free which is great. For pocket pc users out there, you'll... - Tue Oct 31 01:27:51 2006:
dot_net_doing_well CommentI was always a strong believer in .coms as opposed to .nets and I still feel that typeins (where people actually type in the name in the hope that a site exists or to see what's there) are strongly in favor of .coms, however, I have seen some outstanding...
