Thanks finaldesign

Great news. From where I can download it? Will it run on all linux distribution?

 

You can download it from here:

http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

It will probably work on all linux distributions... just search for your distribution on download pages of openoffice.org. good luck!

nice concept. But I saw at my colledge many people finishes the colledge without basic understanding of computer peripherals and how to connect them - and the best thing is that my colledge is all about computers, based on three courses we have:informatic managemente-bussinessdesign...and student could choose it's course and finish it, but many of them finishes without basic understandig of computers.... so, education isn't perfect always, it's the student itself who must try to educate himself as much as possible, so later he can benefit from that...

I think you are allowed to do that. But check with M^E or Opaque... or read the T.O.S. - you should be able to find it easily here on forums...

I like the version with the tabs much more, well done But to the other comment, I encourage you to leave the selected tab as a link, if the tab is selected, in my experience with this kind of tabs I sometimes get mad that I can't get to the tab if its not a link, that is why I like the wordpress admin panel, besides, the more links on the website link to each other, the better.

thanks! I think the pretty same way...
I just need to correct some stuff on that tabs, and then I will be pretty satisfied with it.

You better decide how much money you will spend on this. Because this can be highly expencive

Anyway, for digital photo camera, I would get Olympus E-500 SLR series. They are excellent for studio environments, have pretty good lenses in bulk with them. It also have 8.0 megapixel CCD, which in combination with good lenses can give really extra-good results.
The price of Olympus E-500 with lenses, fully loaded (batteries, batt.charger,) is about $800 - $900.

Then for that studio printer you ask, the model to choose and prices is too wide for writing here... You must specify some requirements, for example, the format of printing, resolution you demand, and such stuff...
Anyway if you would like to go in digital printing bussiness VersaCamm from Roland corp. is pretty good choice, but it's price will probably scare you off
So, Im guessing you need an office-like printer for use of only match-print's of your varius designs... For that purpose the best buy choice would be some Color LaserJet model from HP. I would choose HP Color LaserJet 3550 Printer series - this is an awesome printer, it print A4 format paper, from 60 to 230 g/m2 thick papers... Im talking here from my own experience, I own this printer and it's really good choice. It has network support also, with Jet-Link technology, it's pretty easy to install, just by following the instructions from the box. And the price is just something about $600, which is way lower than the camera above

Well, good luck with your studio!

seems to me like it's something like that. it's logical.

Simply the BEST. No catch. No cheats. No hidden ads! No crap. Nothing unusual about it, except it's the best one there is for free.*

 

* well you dont giveaway anything than spare time and posting on forums which is anyway fun

It's too tricky. I think that you can just cheat or trick people who have absolutely no clue what they are paying for.

try to start with some free packadges for starting your own webserver. XAMPP is a very good one, and pretty simple to configure, works with WinXP. I have it on my maschine, just for testing purposes.

You can download it for free, just google for term "xampp".

Installation process is simple, just follow the onscreen instructions, if you get in trouble, feel free to ask here on forums, someone will jump-in to help...

Anyway, when you finish with installation, if you followed the rules and instructions, you will have XAMPP installed on your computer in folder:

c:\Program Files\XAMPP\

 

Now browse in folder inside XAMPP called

htdocs

 

Now that's the place you put your website stuff, index.html and others

I have another comment I know it's quite usual to see, but I don't like it. When you are visiting the home page, the DESIGN tab will be selected. However, it will still remain a link, which is unnecessary. Why would people go to the same page? So my idea is to put the selected ones just as images.

 

Well, yes, I considered that. But, I must disagree on that. Someone like it, someone don't... Anyhow, If an user is on DESIGN tab, and then browse further more in selected tab, he is still in that area of web-site, so the link must remain there if he wishes to go back on front page easily. (but there is an bug, I still must implement in tab some more functions so it remains selected if you browse more in same "tab area")

 

anyway, thanks for reviewing it. please let me know if you find any more bugs or if you have any other comment on it

I finished the tabs, and put them online, for users to test it... Beta testing was done at my own webserver, that's not plugged-in.
So, this first stable version of tabs is now online, you can see how it works at http://www.final-design.net/

Thank you all for commenting, and helping me choose.

Do you know about any Linux distribution which supports Microsoft Word or the complete Ms Office package? If so please tell me about it.

There is that OpenOffice - it's free and it has all the tools like Microsoft Office. Runs on linux and windows too, and the best part it's 99% compatible with MS Office.

Yep, the version with tabs It summarizes everything you have on your web site, so it is easier to find. Also, it looks more professional and fits in.

So it's done then! I'll start coding today and add those tabs rightaway. Thanks for all you who reviewed this.

And another thing I just noticed - you don't have a favicon, and I think it gives your web site a special touch.

I had a favicon before, then when I installed new CMS, I forgot to put a new one... well, anyway, noted I'll put it a.s.a.p.

I gotta admit that this is the best collection of high quality graphics ive ever seen made by 1 person.You must of been doing this for years.
your the man!
keep it up

well all where done in period of 1 year

this is great, well donekeep it up!

well done
keep it up

thanks, you can find more of my work, at gallery on my web. (link is in my signature)

As I run this website for more than a 1 year now, Im getting more and more visitors, I have a feeling that navigation on my page isn't such great as it seems on the beggining.

I tried to navigate like first-time user, and have trouble finding information that I was looking for.

So, I have an idea, to integrate basic types of information on 4 main TABs at the top of page.

Look at the two pictures and tell me which one is better:

the one with the tabs, or the one without.

 

The above picture is new version, with tabs...

 

The above picture is current look of page...

 

If you like the one with the tabs, please tell me how did you like it?

If you don't like them, then please give me your opinion why it's bad?

Cool... thanks for the info. I'm going to register now. Then need to run to my friends place for his great broadband connection.

Yea, good luck with tests

really awesome. and TIMEKILLING. I've lost 5 minutes, for nothing but it's funny.

Brainbench.com is an old company that gives their registered users a chance to apply for online certificates. Actually, you signup with them, and then choose your areas of expertise, then plan and take a test in skills that you want. Their tests include many areas:

Aptitude - Problem Solving, Abstract Thinking, Analytical Reasoning, Attention to Detail...

Computer Software - AutoCAD 2000, Excel, Photoshop, PowerPoint, Windows 2000, Word... (and hundreds of others...)

Essential Skills - English, Listening Skills, Math, Programmer/Analyst Aptitude...

Financial - Accounting, Financial Analysis, Investments, Oracle Financials...

Management - HR, Managing People, Marketing, Operations, Project Management...

Health Care - Anatomy, EMT, First Aid, Nursing, Pharmaceuticals, Terminology...

Office Skills - Customer Service, Filing, Office Management, Typing...

Languages and Communication - Business Writing, Editing, English, French...

Information Technology - ASP, C/C++, Cisco, HTML, Java, Oracle, TCP/IP, Windows NT...

Industry Knowledge - Automotive, Childcare, E-Commerce, Manufacturing, Retail...

 

The testing process (when you answer the questions to get certificate) is taken online, it works this way: you get 40 questions, one by one, you have 3 minutes to answer 1 question. You canno't get back to the question you just answered and change your mind. Only 1 question is correct while other 4 are distracters. Also there is no negative points if you answer wrong.

 

Certificate looks like this:

It cost's about $14 to get one by mail home.

 

Certificate is then valid in many countries and it's recognized by Fortune 500 companies.

Oh, and finally hurry up, because all of this tests are free until Bench Games II are over. Bench Games lasts until May 31, 2006!

 

P.S.

Yesterday I taken 4 tests and get myself certificate from: CorelDRAW 9.0, Quark XPress 4, Adobe Photoshop CS, MS Office 2003 Fundamentals. And I plan to take more tests to be recognized as really skilled Graphic Designer.

Also, certificates are for real, my brother earned and get at home one certificate, while ago, when Brainbench where sending them for free.

Good luck, and if you sign up with them, post your opinions, and what certificates you earned!

Yea I've seen those before, it's a art work from Christopher Gilbert. It's really awesome design concept.

If there were no hackers, we would never have security. People are stupid, and they will never improve, or do better, unless someone shows to them how vunerable something is.

what about 'meta tags'? a few months back, i was looking through a "how-to-get-your-website-on-google" tutorial, and it said before you ever try to submit your site, you must add "meta-tags'. i think they are some kind of extra coding which make your site easier to search, but i still don't know.

 

can anyone explain?

 

Meta tags are really simple stuff. It's a description tag that you put inside <head> tag of your html webpage, that have information about current page. Or to simplify this look at the current code:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ webpage</title>  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250" />  <meta name="description" content="it's a site about me..." />  <meta name="keywords" content="my name, design, graphic design" />

So, what are you looking at now? It's a beginning of every web page... you begin html webpage with <html> tag, then a <title> tag follows, and after that, you can put metadata, such as content-type, description and keywords.

 

A good explanation of meta tags can be read at this pages:

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to/2067564/how-to-use-html-meta-tags

 

and if you didn't find out what you looking for you can search google with keywords:

I didn't know about google notebook... Well, anyway just logged into notebook, and must admitt... it's pretty damn cool tool! probably I'll start using it regulary, rather than sending myself emails..

I wonder... If upgrading really can be done in my place... I've completley modified wordpress 1.5 to something completley suited to my own needs... but when it comes to upgrading to new version, I think it will not be compatible... Maybe it's time for me to test it out on local computer with webserver and see how it goes, before I screwup my online version....

yea, give us some more details on it, so I can really see, why Xisto is the best...
