Wow. Last of the Star Wars numbers… We’re up to part IV, Return of the Jedi. Or, if you’re not quite that geeky, we’re up to briefing your developer. I’ve now gathered all the previous parts of this series on to one page and you can also sign up to my mailing list for monthly […]
Up to part V, and what’s that bleep-bleep-bleep sound? That’s right, it’s the “vital post” alarm going off. You could have skipped the earlier posts if you already had a fairly good idea of what you want your site to do and who you want to do it, but this post should apply to everyone. […]
Part IV of the series I am now ashamed to be calling “H2BYW”. It’s easier for Twitter, you see. Anyway – you can go back to part I to find out about whether you need a website or not, and what it should do; to part II for a quick guide to how websites actually […]
Wow – up to part III already! In part I we looked at how to work out what you want. In part II, we took a meander down the techy road of how the web works. Today, we’ll be looking at those talented individuals who actually make things happen, and how to pick them. It’s […]
Welcome to part II of our series on how to buy your website. Last time, we talked about the first step – working out what you need. You should now have a rough list of ideas, links and suggestions from your customers – hang on to those. Today we’ll be taking a tiny diversion to […]
Over the coming weeks I’m going to be writing a series of posts on the best way to buy your website – from deciding what you want from it to finding and briefing developers and designers, working with the team delivering it, and how to launch. In part one, I’ll be talking about the very […]
A while back, I did a presentation about WordPress at CamCreative – where I had a lovely time and met some wonderful people. Now, at last, I’ve got round to uploading a PDF of the presentation I did – although the wonderful video which had some incredible action shots of installing WordPress hasn’t made it. […]
The original version of this post was one of the most popular I’ve written, which is why I’m now selling job sheet templates in my store. Only £3.00! Well, plus VAT. There are several formats and a PDF of instructions too. I’ve had many, many different bits of advice since starting up, and several of […]
Not sure if anyone can help with this… I’ve got a jQuery sortable list with radio buttons getting their values from MySQL, overridden by $_POST as appropriate. When I drag items they lose their values. Any idea how I can keep them? I’ve tried listening for each value when dragging and writing this to a […]
Creating graphs with CSS and PHP is pretty simple, but the first solution which comes to mind might not be the right one. Let’s say we have our votes in an array, $votesCast, which looks like this: $votesCast = array(22,34,56,22); The first solution we might think of is to get the percentage of the total […]
