• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Freelance billing

    I actually think there is a happy medium between these two answers. When I invoice clients, they know how there money was spent -- but not down to the dime. For instance, it may look like this: 1. New graphics for site - $75/hour - 2 hrs - $150 2. Added functionality to backend - $75/hour -...

    site critique

    The design is excellent. I have a few small suggestions. 1. In your HTML, use <h2>About Nick</h2> instead of <p class="body-headline">About Nick</p>. It would be more semantically correct and eliminate frivolous code. (Always try to keep class tags to an absolute minimum.) 2. Please do not...

    website critique

    So far so good. I am viewing in Opera 7.5 on Win2000. From a design standpoint, I have a few comments: 1. Really like the navigation. Good rollover effects. 2. I like the typography in the header, but I would back off on the drop shadow just a bit. 3. What is going in the header (i mean the...

    One of the many site reviews

    Yes, that is what I meant. I find the best way to design CSS-driven pages is to write the entire page in pure markup with no CSS calls and no styling applied. If I look at the HTML in a browser and the structure makes sense, then I begin applying styles and adding the minimum amount of extra...

    One of the many site reviews

    I like it. The minimal color scheme works well for you "image," although I have to say I'm not one for monospaced fonts. Some nitpicky design suggestions: 1. Give the words in the navigation a little padding; maybe 3px. 2. Use relative font sizes (em), not fixed (px). You never know who's on...

    anyone ever make money w/ google adsense?

    When you sign up for AdSense, you sign an NDA. I can't talk about how much I make or the Google gorillas will come and break my legs. Sign up and see for yourself.

    Your opinion on my site, trying to speed up load times.

    Yes its loading one image using Pixy's Method, which is much faster than JavaScript or switching background images in CSS. This just changes the position of the same image. (The actual tab is a three state image; the "down" effect turns the tab green.)

    Your opinion on my site, trying to speed up load times.

    Sofar so good; looks like its coming along. For the best rollover method, use Pixy's Method. Combine background shifting with changing the color of the text and you're on your way; look at my site's code to see it in action.

    Your opinion on my site, trying to speed up load times.

    I find the W3 Schools to be an invaluable link when learning this stuff. It has every tag, with examples for each.

    Your opinion on my site, trying to speed up load times.

    The header would be easy to make smaller. You can mimic the look of the buttons in CSS by using one background image for all buttons (less than 1k) and normal text overtop. So the nav which is currently costing you about 25k could be reduced to about 1.5k. The header image could easily be cut in...

    Desperatley need CSS and website critique

    That's just your inability speaking. Every day I build websites without tables, rock-solid in structure with no discrepancies between browsers. Right now I am converting my company's corporate site over to CSS layout ... hundreds of pages controlled with one CSS file. If that's not practical...

    Desperatley need CSS and website critique

    To center your site: 1. Put this in your <body> tag in the CSS: text-align:center; 2. Wrap everything in a div and give it the following CSS: #wrapper {width:800px; margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; text-align:left;} 3. Remove the absolute positioning from your <div>s and make them...

    Padding in Mozilla and IE

    And that's really how CSS makes your life better. By enabling the standard markup in HTML, you can avoid superflous code that clutters and drowns content. <span> tags are almost always avoidable, and generally distasteful because they don't mean anything, where the list tag has semantic value...

    Padding in Mozilla and IE

    For a really excellent source on controlling and styling lists as navigations, check out Listamatic. And if you don't believe good things can come from lists, look at my site's markup and you will only see unordered lists for all navigation.
