Finally Paid my Domain Bill HA

Why Notepad? Why not Notepad ++ or a similar app developed FOR development? Code completion and small features like that save lots of time :)

Dreamweaver is not a bad program when you're in code view. The Design view will create some sloppy code, but no where near as fugly as Frontpage. Noone should be using Frontpage.

i was using word pad aka Microsoft word 2007.

Does that notepadd++ have anything better than word 2007. Im always for making coding easier. i have a pre saved blank xhtml page for easy start up but still not enough.

frontpage and dreamweaver both gave me headaches with FTP uploading to server. either the file uploaded or was lost is cyber space.

i may pay my cousin to design me a page with all the info i have now into a diff setup using dreamweaver. as he used to own achohosting.com, which is now shut down due to his Navy deployments.

uh yeah. Word is for documents, not programming.

Doesn't it hurt your eyes to stare at a giant screen full of black text trying to sort things out? Man, things like colored coding will make your life a lot easier.

I can't use Notepad ++ because I'm running a Mac - so my choices on this platform are Coda, TextMate, and Eclipse. I have been weaned off of Dreamweaver, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.

I've read a lot of positive things about Notepad++ - and it's free. so let me know what you think :)

My website is fugly? :tears: ;)

Sites fine Deb. Just remember if someone using slower internet trying to view all your flash may look else where as itll take too long to load..

Believe it not many ppl still use only dial up. sometimes dsl isn't enough to load all these flash sites.

In the future i will be making a better site. I just made mine compatible/simple for all connection types.

nate if you want to use notepadd ++ try looking into virtural pc. youll be able to run windows xp vista or anything you want within a window on the mac. and then use he notepad like normal.

i been running VPC to run windows 7 beta for testing

No Deb, your Website is not ugly - but the code is fugly. (just being honest :) )

But, really, the only person that cares about readable code is a goof ball like me.

Well, if you are using Firefox within the linux then there should be no difference in the way websites are displayed compared to firefox in windows... :)

Might also want to fix your header... :)

Code:

---

<meta content="your description goes here" name="description"/>
<meta content="your,keywords,goes,here" name="keywords"/>

One more post... :D

I also experienced the text overlapping the picture in the header pic. Did a little checking up and it seems to be because you have set your font-size as 1.6em, which is relational to the user's default font size in their browser. Seems that Firefox in Ubuntu at least sets the default font to size 16, propably at size 14 or 15 on a windows-machine. It could also be that linux and windows have different resolutions(dpi) for the different sized fonts, not quite sure. Never ran into this problem before though so I would think the following change will fix it since I tend to set my font-sizes as pt instead of em for headers & titles etc.

You can easily fix this by setting the font-size of your h2-tag as 14pt instead of 1.6em, that way the text will fit inside the darker part of the image and should look similar for all users regardless of browser or operating system :)
