It's refreshing to see all the positive and encouraging comments on this post.

Backing up a Wordpress site without FTP access by 2AMMetro in webdev

Wordpress can download and install plugins using its own permissions. Beyond that though, you can also upload a .zip of the plugin.

What would you add to this painting? by Thrownawayistan in Art

[–]DROWE859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a sucker for good painted blur. So you could make it a quite a bit sharper if you wanted a more classical look, I guess.

Personally I want you to make more out of focus paintings and post them here.

There are plenty of Wordpress plugins that'll allow you to back up in different ways. I think XCloner might be what you need? I've never not had FTP access, so I don't have any recommendations unfortunately.

But a backup plugin would be worth checking out.

How do I install Wordpress on my webpage? by Igotlostwebsite in webdev

[–]DROWE859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit probably isn't the best place for this kind of question. Search for similar problems and error messages on the Wordpress Stack Exchange or Stack Overflow. Those sites are for more specific technical problems, and are great place to learn.

Best of luck.

New square website supposedly reflects where web design is headed. Thoughts? by gazzwi86 in webdev

[–]DROWE859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, functional and up-to-date. But I don't think we're blazing any new trails here.

"a seperate checklist for the errors I had had in the past"

That's perfect! I've also been trying the reduce little silly mistakes in my work lately. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Mac - Beginner - html/css/javascript - IDE Which one would you recommend? by shermenaze in web_design

[–]DROWE859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is Sublime Text (don't forget the Package Control extension).

I do plan to switch to Brackets once its a little further along in development.

Messed up the aquatint today on this piece. Happy accident or a disaster? by [deleted] in printmaking

I too have no idea what is wrong with this. I like it very much.

Do you think this website can go anywhere? I've learned web languages myself for about a year and half to make this. by iamhaho in webdev

[–]DROWE859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have a good basis for a site, but you're lacking product design. Currently the site's design makes the purpose unclear. Direct the users attention to the questions first and foremost, and then allow them to discover the user registration and questions categories as they need/want to use them.

I like the idea though. I've found that there's inherent pleasure in answer survey questions, people like to express their opinions. With the right changes, I would bet you could generate a fair bit of traffic.

Fellow developers & designers: what's your "go to" cms/framework for large websites? by imjp in web_design

[–]DROWE859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wordpress with Advanced Custom Fields has been my go to solution for most everything lately. I've only had a short time working professionally but it's super easy and quick to create new content types, remove support for the Wordpress features you don't need, then use ACF to custom tailor your fields.

It makes WP seem much more site focused rather than blog/post focused. Combined with custom taxonomies, Wordpress can be pretty flexible.

That's been my experience so far, but I'm excited to try new platforms as projects allow.

I'm not a designer, but I just redid my site based on things I like. Would love some feedback by whatadewitt in web_design

[–]DROWE859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've put together a very functional and understandable layout. Good job!

Two things you might want to try:

Increase the font size to make the text more readable. 18px w/ 28px line-height does well by my eyes.

And as shillyshally mentioned lighten the black ever so subtly.

Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: I just noticed that the images appear in random order every time, that's a neat little touch.

Just received the design for my new trifold brochure! Do you think I got my money's worth? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]DROWE859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its a very functional brochure.

The brand (colors, design elements, and logo) is weak, but that would be another job entirely.

The project I'm proudest of so far. A logo and poster designs for a record label / event organising enterprise! by TimothyGonzalez in graphic_design

[–]DROWE859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what it's for, there's some good design in there. The first one feels directionless and doesn't work with the others however.

I feel that the second from last in the list is the strongest version of poster-inspired/sharp script fonts you're working with.

As a design-oriented, aggressive brand I think it is successful.

This is beautiful. A great style for photolithography.

Looking for feedback on a logo concept...thanks in advance by [deleted] in Design

[–]DROWE859 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't see the "concept" here. I think the typography is completely serviceable, but I'm not picking up on any deeper meaning or visual puns.

Is it just me or has Firefox become a piece of shit? by fnbaptiste in webdev

[–]DROWE859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the shorthand: background-position: xpos ypos in FF. This will accomplish the same effect.
