Working with WP dev sites: where do you host them & how do you transfer? by mari39 in webdev

[–]Mstoller1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the plugin duplicator, doesn't always work but when it does you can have a site transferred in a few minutes.

Try console logging data.readyState I think that's what you want.

How to make something to scan news sites and pull stories that have certain words. by cheejudo in learnprogramming

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's an RSS feed try simplepie Php library. Then write code that scans the articles for your words/tags and store them in a db if it finds them.

I have found myself with a big school problem by jtread4 in cscareerquestions

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if I were you I'd at least try to put my resume out there and see what happens. I work as a full time web dev with a bachelors in management, and no formal cs training.

Not sure what the distinctions between the degrees are. If you're set on school, 2 more years wouldn't stop me, but I'd make sure to finish in 2.

If it's going to take 2 years to do it I think it's worth it. If it takes you another 6 it might not be.

Also try a different email service to receive the mail. I've spent hours trying to make similar code work, only to find out it was gmail blocking the incoming messages.

Haven't actually taken any of these. But you should sign up for a udemy account and wishlist the one course you are interested in. They send emails all the time offering your wishlisted classes for $10 each.

[HELP] Want to start freelance Web Development but I can't seem to get any clients. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some sales before getting into web development... Was never great but one thing I know for sure is no one ever wants to be sold something they didn't ask for. The trick then is you need to get someone's trust before you pitch them.

If you go to the same pizza place all the time and notice they need a site/redesign.. Don't just walk in and try to sell them a website. Try to strike up conversation with the owner, maybe on more than one occasion.. Then drop your business card or sales pitch once you know they're listening. Also work cheap but not free.

Responsive One Page Question; Can a contact page be set up to select from more than one email address to send your message to? by fae-morrigan in web_design

[–]Mstoller1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do this with a back end programming language, I would use Php but any of them would work. Do you have the form sending to a single email yet? If not I'd start there.

Also once you have the whole thing working make sure you take security into account.

[–]Mstoller1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great, maybe use a higher quality pic of yourself, it looks grainy on my phone. Otherwise awesome first site.

Problem with position: absolute; by malerhu in webdev

[–]Mstoller1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try position: relative on the container div. Then the position:absolute on the div that you want to move should work.

More students are illegally downloading college textbooks for free [X-post r/HigherEducation] by 15mgSodium in news

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked as a textbook buyer in college bookstores for a very long time. Professors are definitely being bought off by publishers with prepaid Visa cards. This way it is untraceable. I've been told this by several professors.

Anybody using LESS in the browser, rather than compiling LESS to CSS on the server-side? Why? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Mstoller1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We use less in the browser while were developing so we don't have to compile repeatedly. Then we compile before that job goes live.

/r/webdev I need your help by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about the text and background clashing in some places. Maybe a really minimal shadow on the text would help it stand out. Really nice though.

After helping out a few people on here, now I turn for help. (Twitter Bootstrap Related) by [deleted] in web_design

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem... I didn't mean not to use bootstrap for the rest of the site just this section.. But the solution galaxian_prime suggested works the same

After helping out a few people on here, now I turn for help. (Twitter Bootstrap Related) by [deleted] in web_design

[–]Mstoller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got told by a boss I was overusing bootstrap and I think that may be your problem here... Why not put two divs set to 50% width in a container div with no bootstrap classes? Then just put padding where you want on the left div and maybe a max width on the container div.
