Google is the king in this space so if there is one search engine you want to entice first, make it google. After that, you can go after Yahoo and Bing. After that, Ask and the others. Good luck! |

Right-click the affected folder and file(s), in cpanel, and click "change permissions". Report back with the 3-digit number(s) that you get returned to you. |

shouldn't it be window.open()? Check your spelling, assuming that is how you have it in the code and it isn't a mere typo on this thread |

Search engines index sites every 30 days or so. No one knows the exact date so just give it about 2 months. To check though, type site:domain in google, where "domain" is your domain name. So to check how many pages for cnn.com that google has indexed, you would type, in the search bar: site:www.cnn.com Note that if your site has a lot of stuff that depends on form input, google will not capture anything beyond those forms. |

^^^ There are various French dialects. Same applies to Spanish, English, etc but I am sure they are using the "central" version. If they went with every dialect, it wouldn't make sense. Also, as with every initial translation, there are bound to be mistakes. It will get better with time though, with each passing iteration. 8 Likes |

Technically, yes but I would highly suggest/recommend that you at the very least have a working knowledge of html and css. PHP? Not really, again, technically...but it's a nice "to have". Good luck! |

Webmasters / Re: How To Ensure All Clients Pay by yawatide(f): 1:43pm On Dec 08, 2013 |
A friend of mine who has done IT business in Nigeria says he charges (an inflated) 80% up front. That way, should the other 20% not be paid,he knows that he got what he wanted to charge up front. Something to think about, if you haven't done so already... |
Webmasters / Re: I Thought Graphicsplus Was Ban For Illegal Video Issue. by yawatide(f): 12:38pm On Dec 07, 2013 |
There was a time when I went for at least a week without contributing to a single post on this board or created a new one. The excuse I gave was that I was extremely busy juggling around various things. Then I see this thread. I now know why I haven't posted in a while - this board has generally stopped posting anything meaningful (at least to me) in ages. It is either one person advertising this or another person arguing that. Case in point is this thread. I mean, wetin concern bird with toothbrush? Are posters being paid now so that there is a vested interest in whether or not someone has been banned or not? I this case, given who the person is, shouldn't you be asking why he wasn't unbanned quickly enough as he has generally been contributing positively to this board. Ok, what if he deserved to be banned? Couldn't he have returned under a different name? hmmm |
Webmasters / Re: Phcn Official Website by yawatide(f): 12:34pm On Dec 07, 2013 |
What happened to the old one? I guess in typical naija style, either the developers only charged for 1 year of hosting and the site expired or there is another oga at the top and we are continuing with our disease of lack of continuity |
Webmasters / Re: My Fresh Jobs From Greenmouse by yawatide(f): 10:35pm On Dec 05, 2013 |
All other factors aside and assuming these are all "fresh" as stated, I think what you all should be doing is commending OP for being able to crank out all these sites. You would think that based on the recent (crappy, mostly) posts on NL of late that the web design market is saturated. Granted I am more selective and do it as a side gig, I consider myself successful if I implement a site a month, though I would want more. Given the dog-eat-dog nature of web design in Nigeria, I am impressed that OP is able to get so many diverse jobs. Again, we should be asking him to mentor, speak at events as a motivational speaker and how he manages to run his business and get his clients, among others. OP: Again, all other factors aside (as in, what you could do to make the sites better, how much you charge per job, etc), you have a thumbs up from me. If ever I decide to set up shop in Nigeria, I just might be knocking on your door for advice |
Webmasters / Re: Prospective Clients For 2014 by yawatide(f): 6:00pm On Dec 05, 2013 |
Clients who appreciate me and my skills for who I am and what they are. In other words, I would rather not work with clients who belittle what I do under the guise of, "I would have done it but I don't have the time" or "I know a guy who can do this for $200 but I like what you do and want to stick with you" or comments to that effect. This year, having been doing freelance since 2005 and with over 90 clients under my belt, for the first time I actually refunded a client his money (plus interest) after he approved of my graphical comp yet belittled the final product (actual web page), by saying it looked "amateurish". I am getting to the point now where, I am willing to walk away from the money if someone gives me unnecessary tough time. It's definitely not worth it any more. |

Webmasters / Re: Web Developers Abeg How To Store File Like Images Songs And Videos In A Database by yawatide(f): 5:45pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
OP: What they are saying is: 1) When you upload your file, save it in the file structure (for example, save an image in "images/file-uploaded.jpg' 2) In your database, rather than create a column of type BLOB and saving the actual image there, save the path to that image instead (for example: images/file-uploaded.jpg). This way, since you are not facebook or google, you are not filling up your database with large data. So gbo? |

Webmasters / Re: Service Of CSS Experts Are Urgently Needed. by yawatide(f): 11:08am On Dec 04, 2013 |
The customer is not always right, at least not in our business. What you are saying is that if the customer wants red font on a black background because that is what they want, you will still do it, right? I beg to differ. If a medical doctor says you need 3 tablets of fansidar and you say you actually need 2, you think say doctor go gree? Or is it because we are "common designer" and many of us are willing to charge 15K per job? We are not code monkeys. We are consultants and professionals. You don't just take the first thing the customer says and run with it. If it doesn't make sense, you tell them why in your professional opinion something is wrong and offer alternatives. If you feel that strongly about it, be willing to walk away from the job. Money isn't everything. Integrity, reputation and your name are. If you don't feel that strongly about it, make sure you charge extra for it, due to the extra time involved (in this case). Again, if you can't come to terms, respectfully walk away. I bet you will get more respect that way and chances are that if the client can't find another person, they will come back to you asking you to implement it your way. I think it is high time we let clients know that we are professionals and not people willing to do anything for 15K |

@tubiz 1) Sometimes it is worth spending a little more money to make money 2) $60 might seem like a huge investment now but that could easily triple when you consider the time spent to customize the one file. Always look at and consider time spent as well. Time is money. Spending another $60 to buy a top quality theme or even paying a developer more than that to develop something good might end up being the cheapest alternative in the long run. Just my humble opinion |

Nice analysis. Let's now offer solutions. Perhaps the ideal website could be coded and presented as evidence of what it would look like... |
Webmasters / Re: Most Embarrassing Moment In Front Of A Potential Client! by yawatide(f): 4:44am On Dec 02, 2013 |
1) It is inexcusable for a web designer or web developer in this day and age to not have a working website, even if it is 1 page 2) It is even more inexcusable for anyone to hand someone a card with inaccurate information knowing that such info could be verified Learn from your mistakes and sin no more. Good luck! 3 Likes |

Considering this is WP, IMHO, it makes sense to work within the WP framework. Sure, you can directly manipulate the style.css but as someone has mentioned (and I am in no way a WP expert), if the current theme is updated in the future and you grab that, you lose all the work you have done. The best approach here, IMHO, is to go with a new theme, be it a theme you purchase or download for free, or a theme that a developer does for you. Worse case, they clone what you have now and rework the CSS to give you what you want but again, tis best, IMHO, to work from a new theme. Good luck! |
