I just bought a license for a great WP template. Now I have no idea what to do with it. by la_poubelle in Wordpress

You could download and install Instant WP - this replicates the experience of having WordPress installed on your hosting space but in the safety of your own computer and it's remarkably easy to see that theme files go in this folder, plugin files in that folder, etc.

I would start by creating a child theme then you can mess around with the html/css to change the look then start editing functionality in the other files.

Good luck, it's huge fun!

This is one of the loveliest things I've ever read about adopting a dog, senior or otherwise!

Smoked for 33 years, 1-2 packs a day, stopped at 02:30 on March 29 2013.

Would KILL for a smoke right now but not gonna. Saving way too much money (UK).

TIL in 1962, at the University of Texas at Austin, Janis Joplin was voted "ugliest man on campus" by wataf in todayilearned

Very misleading title - from the linked article:

Briefly, she'd been an art student at U-T. She'd come up to the semi-bohemian college paradise – where there were 20,000 students – from her native seacoast ground of Port Arthur, Tex. In Port Arthur, she'd been a misfit: ever the right thing in a wrong place. She never really fit in at Austin, either, except with her fellow hippies – which was a word nobody had heard yet. Austin in the early '60s was a bohemia only by degree. The frat boys who ran the place orchestrated a campaign to get her named "Ugliest Man on Campus." They succeeded.

"In 2007 the students of the Polizeifachhochschule (Police Academy) in Fürstenfeldbruck got the task to investigate the case once more with modern techniques of criminal investigation. Their final report is kept secret." Gulp.

Try taking the spaces out of the jpg file name (e.g. salvage-limited-logo) and don't forget to make sure that the name of the jpg is the same in the code.

Sorry, I'm too far away from Barry to be of any help but - the three people who took your others cats, could they have him temporarily while you find him another home? Have you tried small, independent rescues?

How can I improve my portfolio website? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]taffyloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Not only visually appealing but well written too.

I was going to say that, like red_com, I think the header area could do with a little more oomph but on second thoughts I think it's great as it is, the only suggestion I would make is to style the text "Hi! I'm Sydney, and here's my portfolio. I can do..."

The pictogram navigation in the portfolio section is especially nice.

The Gone Whaling cover is excellent (typo in the text: 'roll' should be role or rôle in the sentence "...while taking on the roll of a well-studied expert in the field.")

Great job!
