I’m looking for something with an easy install, that can be easily incorporated into an existing html/css design.

Preferably, to add items I would simply add information into the various fields (title, body, date) on a dashboard.

I don’t mind installing something on my servers, but I need it to fit my existing design, I don’t want to have to build a WordPress template…

Does such a thing exist?
…by “stripped bare” I mean that I don’t need any fancy widgets, etc. Commenting features would be optional.

Hi. For my senior year of high school, I have to do a year long project. It can either be a paper or a paper and a product. I’d prefer to make a paper and a product such as software or a website script. I am fluent in HTML, CSS, and have some experience with Javascript and PHP. I am trying to find a way to learn how to program for this project. Do you have any ideas for programs or scripts that I could create in about a year’s time? My project needs to be pretty complicated and dense, but I need something that is doable.

So you will know what kind of ideas have appealed to me so far, here is a list:

learning PHP and creating a script like wordpress and also writing about the blog revolution
open source software – how it is changing everything
creating a social network, but i decided that this would be too difficult of a task for someone with so little programming experience

i could create some sort of software, so if you have ideas for software that could be created and the languages that would be useful to learn, i would appreciate it.

Thank you.
Oh btw, I have a lot of experience building web pages and creating graphics, so if the project could embrace those skills then that would be awesome.

I am an expert in HTML and CSS, and am currently studying MYSQL and PHP in college. I want to add a blog to my website, but I’m not sure what the best method is for doing that. If it’s possible to program a blog with PHP, I haven’t gotten that far yet. I’ve heard a lot about WordPress and Blogger, but I want to integrate the blog with my site to facilitate SEO. I don’t want to go through the process of trying to learn one method if it sucks compared to another. Thank you.

I have a hard time controlling the design and element placement on the page, whether it’s page I design from scratch or a WordPress template.. Is there a software that does that simply?
If I use simple free software like NVU you just insert HTML tags and have to go in and change the attributes for alignment, which is a tedious process.
If I use Dreamweaver, it basically lets you “draw” an element where you want it on the page, but then it hard codes the dimensions in pixels and you lose the natural auto-stretch properties of tables.
And now of course the shift is towards CSS. I don’t know of an easy to use software that does that.
Any advice?

I want to learn how to build websites and plan to make around 12 different sites like the one above (one site each month).

Could someone tell me the best program to learn in order to make a simple site like this?

The website seems to be completely static (html +css).

I have Dreamweaver CS5 on my computer – even though I can use the WYSIWG mode within the program, I thought about spending a month learning basic html to get my head around things.

But then my friend said it would be easier to use WordPress.

Just find a suitable theme, and convert it to a static site (without the blog features or plugins).

I’m not really fanatical about getting the coding really clean. I just want to build sites like this without too much of a learning curve.

Can anyone suggest what a girl should do?

Thanks in advance.

Say I have a web page, which is currently constructed using HTML and CSS (No CMS). Then I want to put it into CakePHP (or wrap it with CakePHP, or however that works)… can I? Is it fairly simple? Does CakePHP use Templates ONLY!?
I am vaguely familiar with Joomla, and have used a template on that. I have also used WordPress, and templates there. Does this have to be done the same way? Are there ways AROUND using a template for CakePHP!?

Ok, so my mom has put all of her faith in me to make her a blog that looks absolutely perfect. Of course I am flattered but I am also scared to death that I am going to disappoint her. I am a first-year graphic design major in college and have been making things and winning contests in art since high school, but I am by no means close to being great yet.

Both of my parents think the world of me and think I’m so talented and I cannot make them think otherwise! I don’t really know how to design a blog though…

Do I just make my own banner in Photoshop or Illustrator and tweak a pre-existing template to make it match together? Or can I reconstruct my own template using CSS/HTML? I have a little experience in the latter – at least enough to know my way around and do basic things.

Also, it is going to be a food blog. My mom’s a really good cook, so she wants to blog about her recipes and experiences in cooking. I am used to making things look really modern and up to date, but she told me that is the exact opposite of what she wants – just to make it harder!

Any advice or help for me? What blog would be the best to do this in? She started it on Blogspot, but I’m wondering if WordPress would be better…design wise at least. Just help me out!

Check out this wordpress template I’m creating, and let me know what you think of the layout and colours, and what changes you think I should make.

I’ve only got the index page on a “ready” state so far. I’ll do the other pages once I’ve finalised the layout on this. I’m also yet to do the IE6 cascade for the CSS, so it own’t look right in IE6 yet. Having said that, I haven’t checked it out on anything other firefox yet.
It validates as xhtml 1.0 strict and css 2.1.

I know the colours take getting used to. I normaly stick to my olive colour scheme as you will see in http://sw.vftw.com/ but in readability tests for about 1000 words, for most people that colour scheme comes close to standard black on white. So, I thought I’ll try it out. I might try adjusting it a little and try it out on an uncalibrated sRGB screen.

I never make fixed width pages unless I really have to. So this is staying in a fluid layout. It already has a minimum width, I should give it a maximum width though.
The colour scheme does look quite vivid in some screens.
Sometimes I need it to be quite wide, especially if I’m posting code excerpts.

On my wordpress blog, I have a search field. Next to it is a default search button. Rather then have the default button, I’d like to use a custom image (eg image.gif). Could someone assist me with the below code to make this possible.

Below are the relevant parts of header.php and style.css.

Thank you

Header.php

Style.css

#navbarright a img {
border: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

#navbarright {
width: 250px;
font-size: 11px;
float: right;
margin: 0px;
/* padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; */
padding-right: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: right

Hello, and thanks for trying to help! :)

I have a website that I’ve been using for a while. I designed it myself in HTML with CSS in Dreamweaver. I’ve decided that it would be a great idea to have a blog on it too, so my viewers can get more information. So, I looked into blog software. The only problem is that they give me no control over the way my entire site looks!

I tried WordPress, but word press made my whole site look dumb, and blank, and I didn’t want to sit and spend hours learning how to make a “WordPress Theme” that looked similar my website. What I’d like to do is use my current website, but have the blog in my content area (I have links and a header above it, and a footer below). A blog would be great so that the Devs and I could each log in, post a blog that would display who posted it and when, and would allow comments. I don’t really want/need much more than that.

Thanks a lot. I’ve been looking for a long time, and I know that the only options aren’t the one’s that seize complete design control from the user! Someone must have made a web designer/graphic artist friendly one by now!

I’m in a design class at my college and my fellow students and I (there are 4 of us) are thinking that our professor is using her power for her own benefit and doing something very unethical.

We’ve been given 10 weeks to design, create content for, make videos, gather audio and travel all over the city for a program that she’s being paid to design a website for.

The class is titled “Advanced Web Design” and from the description in the course book we were supposed to learn HTML and CSS but sadly we have not. We spent 20 minutes each in class on them and have been using WordPress the whole time, which is something that we learned in the previous class that’s “Basic Web Design”.

She’s told us numerous times that she’s going to take what we design here and use it her new class she’ll be teaching next year “Community Journalism”.

Did I mention that it’s not just one site each of us (all 4) have to have a different and separate site with different content?

I just looked and the class meets 4 hours a week. We’ve only been given 8 hours of class time to work on our final project and I’ve counted that I’ve spent close to 40 hours in total on this project without being paid a dime.

I guess the worse part of it all is that I have a meeting with the dean because she made me miss another class 3 times because I “HAVE” to go to these meetings from 3-5 every week.

Is this an abuse of power? Is this what I should have expected? What should I do about this?

Allow me to explain further… I currently have a max-width set for the body on my .css file. That works fine, so I do not want to change it. The problem is that the whole page looks so stark now, and for higher resolutions it’s a big white space to the right of the max-width. I realize I can change the body background color, add a div class and put divs around the content of all the pages. The problem is that this would be time consuming, and I have things installed such as gallery2 and wordpress that seem a bit tricky to override. I should also mention that all my pages have a php extension, and I’m using php includes to add my header/menus to all the pages. That causes the main .css file to affect everything, even if it is not linked to that particular page. Before I start changing every page, I would like to know if there’s an easier way to change the background of the area to the right of the max-width, where the content ends. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

I have a custom made wordpress theme using a special program that designs the website for you visually and I wanted to space out ads that I have in my sidebar areas.

I have already uploaded the theme into my wordpress account and for some reason my computer didn’t save my website layout so now I’m stuck having to fix it manually.

All of my ad codes go into one of the widget boxes. So I’ve tried a couple of &nbsp spaces and it still doesn’t add more than one space. How do I add more than one space between ads in my widget?

I’m a little familiar with CSS so if you can walk me through it, that would be great. :)

Thanks for the answers in advance.
I want to add maybe five or more spaces depending on what it looks like once I’m able to alter it. :)

I am fairly proficient in jquery, html, css, as well as dreamweaver, photoshop, and flash. I am trying to design a website that I am able to update with content (articles, posts, news etc.) and I wish to eventually have some sort of a login page (I know a bit of SQL and know people who can help me out here if necessary). I’m just not quite sure where to start for this particular set up. I know I can create posts with something like wordpress, and I’ve designed numerous stand-alone websites in the past. However usually when I want to update something I go back into the html, and re-upload it.

Any ideas? So far I’m thinking wordpress is the best way to go.
Php, it seems, is the way to go

I need a blogging site that allows you to change the layout, or pick from different ones, change the font, without having to use CSS, HTML or otherwise modify the script, use multiple tabs or pages on the same blog, something like what wordpress offers (but I can’t stand wordpress…), and just overall ease of use.

I currently have a blog on blogger.com and I like it, but I wish you could add another tab/page, not in the side column of the blog. If it makes a difference, I’m blogging on news, current events, personal opinions.

Any advice would be great, and I will pick a best answer, depending on who suggests the BEST site for what I described.
FREE blogging sites please… It isn’t important enough to me to pay for anything.

My father is…old…and he runs a successful small (very small) business. His site is currently some shabby looking site made by a “template creator” since I didn’t have time back then to work on his site.

I have my own site which I’ve coded entirely with HTML and CSS, as I prefer learning the code to make different things happen. I wish I had more time to learn other languages and get my web design skills where they ought to be. I’m very very good at HTML and pretty good now with CSS but I’m not much of a visual designer; I prefer the challenge of taking someone’s design and making it real (whether I can or not).

In any case, my father wants to be able to update/change/design his site without me, and I’m not sure exactly how to make a setup like that. I hear of CMS things like Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress but I’ve tried figuring out Joomla on a whim and I always got stuck before I see the bigger picture of how to do things.

His site only really needs a good visual design and some pages for text/pictures/a RARE audio or video posting. There’s always a POSSIBILITY of using ecommerce, but I dont think he’s looking towards such a big change in business style. His sales are mostly done through referrals and with larger corporations/schools, so he doesn’t normally sell to individuals. Anything he does/would sell he uses eBay just to get rid of some old stuff.

I need something cheap – less than $10/month even after the one or two year promo periods.

It’s for a personal website + blog / video blog. Because of the videos, I’d prefer something with unlimited bandwidth and storage. I know that many sites offer these for a low price, but which loads reasonably quickly and offers good customer support?

What do you think is the best web hosting site?

I’m seriously considering iPage, but I hear that they run slowly with WordPress. In terms of design, I generally know my way around HTML and CSS, but it would be better if I can just get a point and click site builder.
