Keky: Hello Iyenimofe, still learning Web Designing using Html5, but pls can you explain how I'm gonna place the
image on the webpage on the same line with the list there,
anytime I try, the image goes down and the list stay up or
vice versa, pls I need a reply. Thanks.
From the HTML code itself, you could use the 'align' attribute for the <img> tag
<p>How to align this text with this image<img
src="imagename.jpg"
align="middle">and some more text
</p>
N.B: Other values for align are left and right.

However, this is cumbersome for large quantities and should be used for inline styles.
If you want to to align the images externally, you'll have to use the float attribute in CSS.
You'll float the imge to the left or right. After floating it, you'll then use the clear attribute to prevent subsequent images from overlapping.

exellent91: Am using wordpress for website creation,pls can u tutor me on how to add colour,add image,make my own registration box.ave.the ones u gave at your thread eg inline style sheet is not straight forward the version of my own is version 1.6.7,also how to create next page.@iyenimofe am using bold 4
pls what is the html code for inline style sheet
Using WordPress is quite a different ball game. You'll have to learn its interface, commands, e.t.c. That's out of the way for this thread. Maybe someday another person will start a thread on it, like the Joomla thread. As an interim solution, check out these links:
1) www.learn./
2) www.wpbeginner.com/category/beginners-guide/
3) www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/install_themes.htm

You should know though, that HTML knowledge is required to use WordPress. So, you're kinda on the right part.
P.S: Did you say you are using a BlackBerry Bold4 for the WordPress?

maclatunji: ^Do you have a website?
Yes, when I was an independent freelancer. But I now work for an Internet Service Firm full time. We're launching the firm 14.1.14 (Jan 14) and I'm gonna be the copywriter and partly UX.
So, in short I'll start a new blog that tends to that post next year.
This also means I've 'formatted' all past internet presence. Company policy.

Your blog's name 'coolstuff9ja' is a generic one, so you can post any content that you want. However, if you want to carve a niche for yourself in a field, you'll have to be more specific. A visitor would revisit a blog that treats a topic that interests him more than a generic one. Besides, competition is stiff for info blogs already. So you can choose a topic that you're good at and that won't bore you. Anyways, if you decide to stick to info blogging or not, please be original. Readers, these days are good at sniffing out Ctrl+V items oh!

It is not about the reach(number of followers) but the depth(number of relationships built between a circle of followers and you). Keep this in mind and your ROI increases. It is so much better than a mirage.

Webmasters / Re: Responsive Design Or Mobile Site- How To Choose The One That Suits You by iyenimofe(m): 4:22pm On Dec 10, 2013
Conclusion on Mobile Sites
Create a mobile version of your site if you cannot afford to sacrifice load time. Use it if your original site contains much interactive features.

Mobile sites are
GOOD FOR: Interactive site like e-commerce sites or social networks
BAD FOR: You if you’re avoiding maintenance costs

[size=14pt]Mobile Sites[/size]
A mobile site is another version of an existing website that is designed for mobile phones only. A mobile site usually has fewer features than a full site and has a “m.” or “mobile.” prefix. Good examples include Facebook(m.facebook.com) and Twitter (mobile.twitter.com).

Pros of Mobile Sites
Easy to Navigate: Because they are intended for mobile devices, the pages are the exact width of devices. This rules out horizontal scrolling. Main navigation bars are also placed vertically.
Quick Loading: pages on mobile sites contain less text, images and codes which make them load quickly. This is vital considering the slow speed of mobile devices.

Cons of Mobile Sites
Less Content, Less Appealing: Mobile pages contain less text and images than the desktop version. To achieve fast loading, the beauty of a page has to be sacrificed.
The Issue of Double Content: If a mobile site is not created properly, the links may not be equalized. This may lead to double content- a case where search engines do not recognize the mobile site has a mobile version of its desktop counterpart and think the mobile site is a spam site. The penalty is that the site will be deleted from search results. Bad Market!

Conclusion on Responsive Design
Responsive design should be implemented on websites with little images. Features such as drop-down menus, rollovers, e.t.c should be avoided as they are not used by mobile users and will only slow the page loading.

Responsive design is
GOOD FOR: Simple websites that do not require interaction
Landing pages and about pages for organizations
BAD FOR: Image based sites e.g. online galleries
Interactive sites e.g. E-commerce sites

[size=14pt]Responsive Design[/size]
This is the designing of a web page to change in width in response to a change in screen size with all the contents remaining the same. For example a page that fills up a 980 pixel desktop screen will automatically fill a smart phone 480 pixel wide with all the contents kept intact.

Pros of Responsive Design
One Site Only: The major advantage of responsive websites is that you get to create one site only. Since the pages on the site will automatically ‘adjust’ to every screen size, there is no need for a mobile version of the site. In the long run, maintenance costs and hosting fees are reduced leading to a higher ROI
Rich Content for Mobile Users: The same content that is offered to desktop use4rs is the same that mobile users get. Hence, the mobile users get to enjoy all the text, colors, images and graphic on the page.

Cons of Responsive Design
Slow load time: Responsive pages contain many CSS rules which will increase the page size. In addition, all the images, text and JavaScript codes intended for desktop users, will also be delivered to mobile users. All these will make the page load slowly.
High Capital: Web designers and developers can attest to the fact that it takes time to design the layout of responsive pages and more time to implement its codes. All these call for math skills, creativity, lots of patience and an increase in the price tag.

For all those who have a connection to websites-designers, developers, owners and marketers, it has become crucial to optimize their websites for mobile users. This is because of the amount of users that access websites through mobile devices.
There are two ways to optimize your websites for mobile devices
1. Implement Responsive Design
2. Create a mobile version of your site
In the posts below, we’ll treat some pros and cons of each option and give examples in which each option will be suitable. The terms used here are not technical, everyone can understand.

Talking abou JavaScript, it's high time we delve into that subject.
We have considered HTML and 85% of CSS. For now we shall commence with JS. This thread is not a one man show, hence another Nairalander will treat JS. After we're through with JS, we'll treat HTML5, CSS's conclusion and CSS3.

omoelu1:
how does not knowing JS translate to not being a web developer??
Omoelu1, JavaScript is compulsory to learn. It is used for most interactive elements on a page. Even though HTML5 can perform most of its functions, JavaScript libraries are an infinite storehouse of functionalities for Web developers.

Incredible.me:
pls, i dont intend to be a pain in the neck. pls how do i know my browser's DOCTYPE
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration
As stated in an earlier post
HTML comes in diferent
versions, so you have to
specify the version you're
writing in if not your page
shall be rendered in quirk
mode( the browser will
interpret it anyhow).
The following are the <!
DOCTYPE> declarations for the
commonly used versions:
WARNING: Doctype
declarations must contain no
errors
HTML 4.01
< ! DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//
W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
" http://www.w3.org/TR/
html4/loose.dtd">
XHTML 1.0
< ! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//
W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
" http://www.w3.org/TR/
xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-
transitional.dtd">
HTML 5
< ! DOCTYPE html>
The < ! DOCTYPE> declaration
is thus the first item to be
inserted in the document.
Although I advice you to use
the doctype declaration for
HTML 5, it's easy to remember
and also standard.

Nastydroid: i need tips on how to get a website on the web,i really don't understand the domain thing.i want to try the .tk since it is the only free domain that i know.
If you're talking business, a .com domain is a sure bet. It is popular-hence easy to remember. It will cost you between 1250 and 1750 naira anually. And yes, you can have a domain name without having an actual website.
However, if you just have a knack for a .tk domain, there is the paid version of it.
Hope this helps!

Now talking about the .tk ccTLD...
It was originally meant for a country called Tokealu in the New Zealand. However, like many ccTLD it came to be associated with another use which in this case is free domain registration.
.tk domains are usually used with WAP sites. Control over the domain name is limited and can be withdrawn without prior notice. Hence, it can be used for a personal site but not for business.

Nastydroid: i need tips on how to get a website on the web,i really don't understand the domain thing.i want to try the .tk since it is the only free domain that i know.

In addition to these domains, we have country code top level domain(ccTLD). A good is example is .ng . These ccTLD are used for sites in a particular country like .ng for Nigeria. The advantage of ccTLD is that they rank higher in search engines(e.g Google) for local searches and can be used for sites that exist in different countries(e.g ).
However, in most cases the rule of a ccTLD for one country doesn't apply. E.g (for Lybia) is used globally for URL shortening and .dj(for Djibouti) is used for dj or music related websites.
