WebMonk: In my former place of work, the client went so far as to ask for a "discount" over the already "discounted" agreed price, after the project was complete! I guess I should add that to the list. undecided

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Celtic Vs Juventus - UCL - ( 0 - 3) On 12th February 2013 by soloqy: 7:37pm On Feb 13, 2013
^^^^^

The coach and that Kris are id'iots.

There is no player in this world that you would ask whether they are feeling up to it that they will tell you no.

Yobo was telling Keshi and everyone that cared to listen that he was up to it but its left to the coach to make the right judgement.

Asamoah came back from AFCON days before the match but the Juve coach didnt start him. Thats the difference between the two clubs.

divinetalent: Thanks all. . . . Meanwhile, @ mdsocks & soloqy, you people are talking like someone who never develop a webpage before, where do I use flash in that site. The rotating image are not fast @ all and are necessary in that page.
Okay, its not flash but you emulated flashy stuff so much. There was no need sniffing under the hood of your site so I commented just on what was presented visually

The website is superb and fabulous.
Ok then, good for you....

Dual Core: Its distracting and has no real effectiveness on the site. I don't think it will make a good user experience for anyone to have 2 of those rotating effects on the same page and rotating in opposite directions. In addition to the head chopping effect, it can cause nausea and some light form of hypnosis.
It really can cause nausea and it definitely makes one giddy after looking at it for a while. If it was in movies, there would be a warning telling intending viewers of photosensitive epilepsy that may occur.

That rotating flash was in the first comment I made. And its so old school and amateurish. Please just do away with it. There are other ways and tools to 'jazz' up your site.People are running away from flash and some are still diving into it. If you must use flash, do it moderately..
Webmasters › Re: Real Estate Developers Site I Recently Did. by soloqy: 3:17pm On Feb 06, 2013
GraphicsPlus: Well, using free templates is not bad if that's ur way of being a web developer. Bt someone somewhere wil stil use that same template. Even if u use premium templates of $10 from www.themeforest.net, someone somewhere wil stil use it. But if u want the one only u wil use, then u hav to part with $500, which is not less than 75,000 Naira. If u buy that one, how much wil ur client pay u?

Hand coding from the scratch is preached all over the world. Why? It gives u control to bring out ur inspiration. Templates hav a way of stereotyping one. U may nt be able to change the coder's style or u see urself spending hours trying to tidy a css file u hav tried to manipulate.

Templates are not for web developers. They ar for professionals like doctors, lawyers, bloggers, etc who can read small html/css tutorials and being able to edit the templates for blogs, 'just for fun' and wedding sites.
Very well stated..

fewj: Bubble bursting mode activated: You used a wordpress theme called wricker, and from what i see, the changes you made made depreciated the looks of the site when compared to its original theme looks.

Disadvantages of using an Existing Theme
1. You can't really brag about it, If you do, there's no telling who may just know the truth
2. You may never get to know more than you currently know now
3. Even some clients may get to know you're a theme guy
http://www.themesandmods.net/free-wordpress-themes/wricker/

I've adapted @Dual_core's sternness here, I hope this helps you get the message hard.
Thats why I keep saying it. Using a theme or template 'as is' without major modifications, is not good.

Chances are that there are 1 million other people using the same theme/template as is. Its a small world and it would be so embarrassing for a client to be browsing the Internet and come across a website and think "wow, how did I get to my site? I thought I typed something else". Just to look closer to see that its a totally different business or individual using the same design.

Dual Core: No inspiration can be gotten from this link. The property listing here is static and not database-driven. Each of those properties were added by editing the html page buy-property.html.
Dang.. Its got to be a pain in the backside to try to update a property listing site like that with static pages..

Owoblowperfect: You are busy trying to say things about men of God that you have not verified. There is one advice i have for you, thread carefully! (1 Chronicles 16:22; Psalms 105:15).

I feel it is better to keep quiet about a man of God you are not so sure about than say things to incur the anger of God on yourself!
Please take a sit. You are busy creating new IDs just to come and launder your Fireman's image. For your mind, is that right in the eyes of God? Is that not manipulation and corruption?

[quote author=Brand_new]As per getting rid of the footer link, it's very possible but this one was kinda woven into the source code so that it won't work without it.[/quote]If you cant get rid of that footer, then why not do something else or if you must, get another template to customize. Its just not right to do this for your client and he would be stuck with that advert/weird footer for ever.

Since the site is not yet populated with content and in fact, is not yet half done, you can start afresh.
Webmasters › Re: Pls Pals Help Me Rate This Site | www.idigitgs.com by soloqy: 6:27pm On Feb 04, 2013
Too much white space below the Icon menus. The rotating and flashy stuff at the head can be a distraction. Its quite old school and amateurish (I mean the flashy text at the head). I only looked at the landing/home page. Will look through later.
Webmasters › Re: Impossible Channels TV Job Advert And Responses From Members Of PHP Nigeria! by soloqy: 4:55pm On Feb 04, 2013
^^^^^

Its not even about whether possible or not. It seems the people are clueless and dont really understand what they want.

Is their website based on all the above? Are they setting up another business arm to go into web development for clients? Like some have pointed out, someone just wanted to bamboozle intending applicants.
Webmasters › Re: Impossible Channels TV Job Advert And Responses From Members Of PHP Nigeria! by soloqy: 3:04pm On Feb 04, 2013
All that long advert just to get some dude and place him in a tiny cubicle with a computer to post news items and video links. With reporters and editors bringing their laptops to him from time to time, to help them run antivirus software and fix the occasional windows, active-x alerts. grin grin
Webmasters › Re: Html by soloqy: 11:35am On Feb 04, 2013
adewasco2k: i totally disagree white you, not that you cant do it with positioning but that you cant achieve that with a float attribute....you can float as many divs as possible not just two divs.

take this example.

if you have a container with width="600px";
and you have 6 divs with width="100px";
(i am just going to neglect the margins here)
floating the 6 of the divs either left or right will give you a horizontally displayed divs. i told you i neglected the margins of the divs and with mind that the contain has padding="0px";

so i go with yawa-ti-de grin grin mind you i am still learning
You and Yawatide are totally right on this. Getting the boxes line up horizontally, has nothing to do with relative positioning.

What is the webhostingpadscams .com at your footer all about? You first have copyright Cornell Realtors then the webhostingpad scam link.

Does your client have anything to do with that link?

funky medina: forget the nigerian numskuls ..go to wordpress forum amd ask there. U didnt give any usefull info though, what theme are u using? what is the web address so people can see what ur talking about. This is why they want to form association ..smh!
First of all, he didnt post enough info to get useful help from interested parties or people who use WordPress.
Secondly, getting free help for his website is not his right. People can choose to offer free help or not.

@OP, you need to post enough info on your issue or post a link to get people who are interested in WordPress to chip in.

I dont use WordPress anyways.

This isn't like a baby that has to start with milk before eating meat. To be frank, you should be very happy that you have J2.5. My first joomla site was done in 2007...J1.5, I think. Last year, I did my first joomla site in a long time and they had upgraded to 2.5.
