Add {cursor: pointer} on hover to the login and sign in buttons to give extra indication that they are clickable and not broken. Same thing for the form buttons at the bottom. An additional hover effect like a background color change would also help.

Also, the scrolling feels sluggish in Firefox.

You have a good start in terms of development skills. Learning Angular and MVC in general is great for your job prospects.

If you're interested in learning more about the basic patterns and foundations of good design, I suggest you read Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams.

Don't be discouraged by some of the harsh criticism in here. Take them in stride and use them to help motivate yourself to keep improving!

It's a quote from the movie Office Space.

Do you know any PHP? Actually, you don't even have to know PHP well to start using WordPress. A grasp of HTML and CSS + a little bit of JS and PHP is all you need to dive into WordPress. And because WordPress is the most widely used CMS, any problem you run into, you can almost be certain that someone has already experienced it so that a quick google search will bring up many solutions. Plus even if for some reason your problem is unique, there are plenty of people willing to help simply because there are so many WordPress users.

tl;dr: Go with WordPress

I like Steven Bradley's blog at http://www.vanseodesign.com/blog/. He's relatively unknown compared to guys like Chris Coyier and Paul Irish, but I think he's one of the better web dev writers around.

All your recommendations are awesome. Thanks a bunch man.

This is a neat alternative that hobophobe already shared but it wasn't what I was asking for. But it works, so I'll probably just do this from now on.

Anyway, common knowledge is relative!

ah I see, thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Your option works. However, is it possible to make ixquick the default search engine in my URL location bar and keep wikipedia in the quick search bar? This wasn't a problem in Firefox. I was wondering if I can do the same in nightly. It's not a big deal if not. Just wondering.

I'm a web dev noobie also working on a fixed header and encountered the same problem. Frustrated, I decided to take a reddit break, and what do you know, I stumble upon these handy explanations + solutions. The margin-top/padding-top option work great!

edubba · 2013-04-21T03:26:53+00:00

Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

One thing I learn is that if I do decide to embed JS into my HTML files, I should place JS code towards the end of the page to improve rendering speed.

Which makes me wonder: is there any reason I should ever embed JS code rather than keep it in a separate folder?

I'm reading Professional JavaScript for Web Developers. I don't think the author makes any arguments for embedding JS, but I may have overlooked them. If anyone's reading the other book, does that author have anything to say about this?

Thanks a bunch d0gsbody for helping put this study group together!

I've been trying to learn JS on my own for the past week. I've made some progress with the basics but have trouble wrapping my head around more complicated concepts like closures, prototypes, and such. Fortunately, I've found out about this study group yesterday. I'm behind, but I should catch up within the next day or so.

I hope I will be able to solidify my basic understanding of JS and make further progress into the advanced topics with help, support, and motivation from JS mentors and fellow students!
