  6. Great job!!!! Although I'm not a huge StarWars fan, I got a chuckle looking at the new server names. In my opinion, I always appreciate seeing a company where the culture allows a sense of humor to shine through. Good job, guys, and may the force be with you.

  8. I only have one WP blog, and have not had any problems since the upgrade.

  15. Don, I learn something new every time I read this forum.

  17. Opus -- I think that the problem might be that you put php code in a page that has an .html or .htm extension. If you rename the page to a .php extension then the code that Carbonize gave you will work fine. Please note: If the page has been indexed by the search engines, or saved by users, then you will also want to put in a redirect for the "whatever_the_name_is.html" to "whatever_the_name_is.php".

  19. pronoun (H2EPa22Cs: I thought it took two fish -- child-element as in one that inherits properties from parent-element -- I think I was working on a CSS file when I posted that)
  20. I just installed Etomite in a new site that I'm working on. This site will be for writers and aspiring writers to post their works and exchange ideas. I am still trying to decide whether to use a CMS, forum, or Blog as the basic engine for the site. My original idea was to use a CMS, but the learning curve on the one's I've tried out represents a pretty big hill to climb. So far, Etomite looks pretty straight forward. I'm most comfortable with phpBB, and could easily set up the site with phpBB2 (phpBB3 if RC1 is released any time soon). I have a single user Wordpress blog on another site, and really like the way that Word Press works. I'm experimenting with WP on this site too, but I think that if the site grows to a large community, then WP might be more difficult to manage than a forum. (still experimenting and thinking about this one). Anyway, I'm glad that this thread is on the forum; I'm enjoying reading everyone's suggestions and comments.
  21. Opus, I'm glad to have helped. The W3C has defined standards for, among other things, CSS, but the problem seems to be in the interpretation of some of those standards. The more that you work with CSS, you will see more inconsistencies between how some things are rendered between the different browsers. Sometimes the differences are subtle, sometimes not, but it is always good to test a new page to see how it renders in several browsers. BTW, that is an interesting site. I'll look at it from time to time to see what weather is brewing to the south of us. --Bob

  23. I also removed the auto from the margin definition in the pics class. This seemed to be a problem in Firefox.
  24. I tested this in IE6 and Firefox (I don't have Netscape). The two do interpret some CSS differently, and I've read arguments that can go on for days as to which one interpets according to W3C. I'm assuming that you want all four menus accross the top? If that is the case, then you'll need to define the width in the "menulist" class to 24% instead of 33%. Since you put the pic within the first menulist div, then IE will form the width of that div at the same width as the image, therefore the other menulist divs will not float at a consistent width. Firefox, just lets the image extend beyond the width dimension. I moved the image to a position after the fourth menulist div, changed the width in the CSS definition for menulist to 24%, and enclosed the image div in a div with align=center. Please see if this is closer to what you wanted. ><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-----------------------------------------------------------> <!-- AUTHOR: L&B --> <!-- CREATED: 01/28/2007 --> <!-- MODIFIED: 04/24/2007 --> <!-- FILE: index.html --> <!-- PURPOSE: SILWeather Index --> <!-----------------------------------------------------------> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title> Southern Illinois Weather from www.SILWeather.com </title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { color: #ffff00; background-color: #293933; font: 100%/1.2em normal "Franklin Gothic Medium", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; } div#page { width: 100%; border: none; margin: 0 auto; } h1.marquee { color: #fffff00; font-size: 150%; font-variant: small-caps bold ; } h2 { text-decoration:underline; font-size: 130%; font-variant: small-caps; text-align: center; } img { border-style: none; } .menulist { width: 24%; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 1px; } .menulist ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; list-style: none; } .menulist li a{ list-style-type: none; text-decoration: none; display: block; border: 1px outset #336; margin: 0 auto; padding: 1px 3px; color: #ffc; background: #233020; width: 80%; } .menulist li a:hover { border: 1px inset #fff; background: #2f533f; text-decoration: none; } marquee { border: 3px double #233020; } .pics { margin: 5%; width: 80%; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="page"> <h1 class="marquee"><marquee scrolldelay="75" scrollamount="6">Welcome to www.SILWeather.com...Weather In Your Neighborhood !!!
