  1. Web design consists of a lot of things, and it's best to have excellent tools for each part of web design. For graphics, there are Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, and GIMP, the latter of which is free. For writing HTML/XHTML code, there are FrontPage, Dreamweaver, Notepad, and so on. I prefer Notepad, it being the easiest of the three if you know your HTML already. But if you prefer to have something to the coding for you, then the other two are better fits. For managing your site and its content, you could search for CMS's such as Mambo, Movable Type, and phpnuke. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ is a website that has free programs that will help in webpage design. This website is useful if you can't afford Photoshop and Frontpage. Their software isn't as impressive as the most popular programs, but they are still quite useful.
  2. http://no-www.org/ That website shows you how to get rid of your www and explains why the www is no longer needed on the World Wide Web.
  3. I hear that .png format cannot be animated, but the people who created .png have created or are creating a format that will basically be animated png files.
  4. To be honest, every single one of the image hosting sites I've used has been more reliable than any of the webhosts I've used. To be completely honest, I would trust Photobucket or Image Shack over Xisto any day. With my history of bad webhosts, I would have to say that image hosts are more reliable. For a complete list of webhosts and image hosts, go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ That's how I found this host, and I know the site has an excellent list of reliable image hosting sites.
  5. Updated antivirus software should be able to detect it, right? I've always found AVG to be reliable enough in finding any king of intrusion to my computer.
  6. The best way to stop search engine spiders from snooping on your website is to use a robots.txt file, but if you want to protect a webpage that you have limited access to (i.e., a simple blog like LiveJournal), then you can use the meta tag alternative.
  7. I've never used Pixia before, but I've used GIMP, and I found it hard to use. I'm sure it's an excellent piece of software once you get used to it, but Adobe Photoshop has an easier learning curve.Before I started using Adobe Photoshop, I always used Adobe PhotoDeluxe, which came with my scanner. It almost rivals Photoshop, and there are quite a few things on PhotoDeluxe that Photoshop can't do.
  8. VBscript is just another attempt by Microsoft to monopolize the industry, so I would suggest never using it, as it's only compatible with IE. Despite the fact that Javascipt could be disabled on webpages by the user, at least it works in most, if not all, browsers.
  9. I hear Mambo is an excellent CMS when it comes to managing websites, and I thought Nucleus CMS was more of a blog CMS than of a whole website.For blog CMS's, I would recommend WordPress or MovableType.
  10. PHP is an excellent programming language with countless uses online. I'd have to say that PHP is the most useful programming language when it comes to web programming.
  11. SmartFTP does allow you to upload a whole folder. What you do is drag the folder onto the FTP window.My favorite is SmartFTP, but that's only because it's the only one I've ever used.
  12. Most of the programming languages listed on the poll have some advantages and disadvantages over the other programming languages, but for the "best" programming language, I would have to say Python. Even though I know next to nothing about Python, I do know that it's a relatively new programming language that has great potential.
  13. For most programs, what will work usually is to open up a new document on your program, copy the picture you want to insert, and then paste it onto the new document.
  14. I don't think there's a way to change video opacity using CSS. There may be a way to change the video opacity using javascipt, but it's highly improbable. Maybe if you have Windows Movie Maker, you can edit the movie from there and see what you can do about its opacity.
  15. With CSS, it's easy. <style type="text/css">p { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: blue; }</style> You could also put combine it all together: <style type="text/css">p { font: italic bold 12pt verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: blue; }</style>
  16. I find using Adobe ImageReady difficult to use for creating animation because it involves changing layers between each frame.Does anyone know of good free GIF animation software?
  17. The only versions of Linux that I've heard of are RedHat, SuSe, and Fedora Core. I've never used any of them, though.I think the average Windows user would have a difficult time getting used to Linux, let alone choosing which version of Linux is most suitable for them.
  18. I used Notepad because I find most HTML editors intrusive; I know how to write my code, so I don't see any point in having an HTML editor do it for me. I like the complete control I have with a text editor like Notepad.
  19. I've had a lot of expeirence with phpbb, and I have no complaints with it. I have tried demos of ipb and have been confused of how to use it.I did a websearch looking for different styles for ipb, but I don't remember finding anything. However, I do know that phpbb has plenty of different styles to choose from, many of which can be found on the phpbb website.
  20. https://l'>The Color Wheel is an excellent resources for finding which color you want to use in a webpage. After clicking on a color, you can click on a different shade of the color to find a better match, and you're also provided with two alternatives to the color you chose, both of which are more websafe than the actual color.
  21. For putting together my high school's senior video, I used Adobe Premier Pro. The program is difficult to use at first, but once you learn how to use it, adding music and editing scenes is very simple.
  22. How do you use and create paintbrushes? I've heard that many people can create stunning graphics in Adobe Photoshop without the use of filters, but I'm not experienced enough with brushes to know how to do so.
  23. It works for other combinations as well, but the hex code must be paired. Here's an example: <style type="text/css">body { background:#abc;}div {color:#eee;}p {color:#44d;}</style> Now, that was the short way. This is what it really means: <style type="text/css">body {background:#aabbcc;}div {color:#eeeeee;}p {color:#4444dd;}</style> So, just as long as your intention is to have a color with paired hex values, it will work. This is much safer than having hex values such as #45dafc anyway.
  24. Changing the scrollbar colors actually isn't part of the W3C standard, but you can still do it anyway. However, unlike other CSS attributes, you can't shorten your variables (e.g., put #333 instead of #333333).
  25. MSOE is the college I'm going to right now. MSOE has a lot more information if you start on its main webpage http://www.msoe.edu/. The main page for the Computer Engineering page is located here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.
