Whilst I was learning to build websites I found it a great help to have someone around to give me advice when I ran into a spot of bother, otherwise I'd be spending days sifting through the internet to find the answer to my question.
As such I'm starting this thread.
The idea is simple, ask a question here, and I will respond by creating a guide (in a new thread, appended with your name), with full information on how and why the tehcnique works.
Rules.
1. Keep the questions to a single post if at all possible. (if more clarification is needed I'll ask in the corrosponding guide.
2. If there are a rush of questions dont keep posting. I'll be working from the top down, so I'll get to yours ASAP.
3. Dont chat/comment in this thread. That is, make sure each post is a question.
4. Before you post, check this post to see if your questions been answered, I'll be posting links all the completed guides here to keep track of it. It should be obvious if your question has been answered (I'll make the thread titles as descriptive as possible).
5. If you've got an answer to the question, by all means note the person who asked it, or feel free to post a better answer once I've posted one, but dont post an answer thread before me-- This is a bit dodgy to ask, but it seems to me this is the best way to keep my answers and my guides obvious to the people looking for them, and the general populace of FriHost. I mean, people can always ask a question for you to answer in the forum if they dont want a full guide about it!
Other Info.
Guides can be about anything related to CSS, XHTML, and Photoshop. (I figure I'll be taking too much on board if I accept PHP or Flash requests so please dont ask for those in this thread).
Also, if you've got any examples of what you're asking that you would like explained, or to help clarify your point, post a link with your question
I will provide full code of the example pages I create for you to use/work into your page.
I might add more rules and stuff as I run into problems.
Example Request.
(feel free to ask these if you want them)
"Can you please write up a guide for the beginner webdesigner, about introductory skills, techniques and good design practice?"
or
"How do you make a continuous container that continues right to the foot of the page using CSS layouts. Even when there isn't enough content to stretch it there. Div elements 100% seem to end at the bottom of the screen-- not the end of the page."
or
"Whats the best way to get a design from <insert your image editor of choice here> to the real world."
or
"How would I go about embedding phpbb or <your forum software of choice> into my sites current layout to make it look seamless"
Completed Guides.
How to center something horizontally AND vertically... on a page when working with CSS.
