Hi eric my portfolio website is updated now.
http://a.parsons.edu/~wadhr172/lab/week_03/
i wanted to know how to make a sub category for the portfolio section. also last class you told me that i should make the subsections like how the other tabs are but i dont know how to do it.
also please let me know if i could do anything to make it look better. its very plain and simple, i just want to make it a little fun. i was trying to do the light-box, but was unsuccessful.-

google “CSS submenus” and you’ll find thousands of examples. but those are mostly for “real” submenus, i.e. ones that pop out which you can navigate without clicking in to a main page – you don’t have to be that fancy. much easier to just make another horizontal row on that page with another, smaller menu.

as far as looking better, i can’t tell you how to design. look at other sites you like. look at sites that collect good design. use google. ask your friends. experiment…

Hi eric,
what is the round with a slash in the center suppose to mean in fire bug?-
Written by Eric about 6 months ago. Log in to Reply
it means temporarily disable that line of code. that’s why it greys out the line. very useful for seeing the effect of pieces of CSS. in safari inspector you can do same thing by unchecking box next to each line.

Hi Eric,
I have a questions, I was trying to download firebug but I can’t because it’s not compatible with mozilla? I have mozilla 3.0.18 version.

firebug is made for mozilla firefox, not sure what you mean. try downloading the most recent version of firefox.

Hi Eric,
I’m working on my website and I’m trying to come up with an interesting way of showingmy work. What I’m thinking is to show tiny previews of my work stacked-up squares, and when you click it, it takes you to the artwork…but before clicking, I want the tiny preview to change color as the mouse hovers through it…. is that possible with css or html? I sounds confusing but I just can’t seem to explain correctly. If it’s unclear let me know.thanks

sounds interesting, why don’t you make a quick mock-up in photoshop so i can visualize better what you’re talking about. post it to your blog and let us know when it’s up so we can comment on it.

Hi eric, I think I have a problem on my blog that somehow it doesn’t let people to leave comments on my posts. I checked my theme folder that Id downloaded and found there were no files called comments-popup.php and comments.php that other theme folders (default and classic ver.)contain. So I tried to copy and put them in the folder but no diffrences, maybe it wasn’t that.
Is it somethin to do with the theme folder? or others? idont know,,-

check the Comments section in your blog admin dashboard. you want default article settings to “allow people to post comments.” you probably also want to NOT check “users must be registered and logged in to comment.” the other settings are personal preference.

i checked it out. your settings were fine. there is something wrong with that theme, or something went wrong when customizing it or combining it with other plugins maybe. if you switch back to WordPress default theme, you will see comments work again. i left a test comment for you to see. just find another theme you like.

I have one more question~~
when i uploaded some photo,it said “Unable to create directory /u/cd2013/leet370/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
so i cannot upload it. what is that?
I just clicked picture icon and chose my file. but it didnt work.
do i have to make some folder in FTP progrem?-
Written by Eric about 7 months ago. Log in to Reply
assuming there isn’t one already, try creating a folder called “uploads” inside wp-content.

this seems to be a “permissions” issue, i’ve contacted bugreports, i’ll let you know what they say. in the meantime, you can upload any images or media to your website, put them in a folder (you can call it “media” or “uploads” or whatever you want), then in WordPress when you add an image, choose From URL instead of From Computer. In the Image URL field you put the complete path to the file. e.g.:

when i install a new theme on my blog, I’m just confused about host name, and username. i tried to put everything that i can do, but it doesnt work.
and what is connection type?-

until we get this straightened out with bugreports, you can install themes and plugins manually. download folders and then upload (using FTP program) to the appropriate WordPress directory in your blog directory.
for example, find a theme here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/download it (and unzip it if it’s compressed), and then upload it to /wp-content/themes/ in your wordpress directory (for most of you, that will be in /public_html/blog/).
go to your WordPress dashboard (admin) and you should see new theme(s) under Appearance. same process applies for plugins, except you upload to /wp-content/plugins/.

If you want that described a bit slower, here’s a tutorial to do the same thing: http://www.themelab.com/2008/03/02/how-to-install-a-wordpress-theme/
