(in FF3) * I would probably not have made the header so tall for myself, but it looks fine. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [I need feedback on my art portfolio site.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-feedback-on-my-art-portfolio-site/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-feedback-on-my-art-portfolio-site/#post-839773) * If you’re using photoshop, use save for web & devices (ctrl/cmd+shift+alt+S) instead of save as. I tend to use jpeg progressive at 80% quality, your images will load much faster. * And you might consider using Impact for your title, instead of an image. Most people have impact, and can default to something similar. * Again, it will help faster loads. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [export all post/pages from old wordpress to new wordpress with no database?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-all-postpages-from-old-wordpress-to-new-wordpress-with-no-database/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-all-postpages-from-old-wordpress-to-new-wordpress-with-no-database/#post-812308) * In the admin panel, under the manage section, there are import and export options. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP needs to get its S**T together!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-needs-to-get-its-st-together/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-needs-to-get-its-st-together/#post-811698) * some people do seem like douches though, I agree. I hate people who know a little bit about something and think it makes them better than those who are just starting out. People need a bit of respect for the people who taught them what they know, and need to learn to follow in their footsteps and pass the knowledge on in the same way. * So you know about php/apache etc, you aren’t special, its not some secret society, get of your high horse and help others to learn, like others helped you. And don’t forget, even if you are ‘self-taught’ from books or websites… some kind person chose to share their knowledge with you by writing those sites/books. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [first full wp site and theme…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-full-wp-site-and-theme/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-full-wp-site-and-theme/#post-806853) * There’s no uniformity, it just feels like it was spat out by a bad cms into tables. * Look into grid based layouts and how to use spacing. Apart from the outside of the content wrapper, there’s almost no negative space, which makes it feel overly- packed and claustrophobic. * Some good article on this: [http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2004/1231_grid_computi.php](http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2004/1231_grid_computi.php) [http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/2006/12/gridding_the_960/](http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/2006/12/gridding_the_960/) [http://www.alistapart.com/articles/settingtypeontheweb](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/settingtypeontheweb) [http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm](http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm) * And try not to be defensive when people criticize your work. The fact that grey text on a dark background is uncomfortable to read, is not a personal affront to you, its just something that has been observed by designers to be true. It tends to work better in print because you can use larger fonts and natural light seems to help, but on a computer screen, dark text on a dark background is very difficult to pull off. I would only use it in situations where you are trying to de-emphasize some text, i.e. if you don’t want the text to be the main focus. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [My first site on WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-first-site-on-wordpress/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-first-site-on-wordpress/#post-806267) * pretty sure I’ve seen that bird before… be careful what assets you use, and always read the licensing agreements. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Graphic Design Portfolio Site with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphic-design-portfolio-site-with-wordpress/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphic-design-portfolio-site-with-wordpress/#post-665525) * The background takes a long time to load… and the design definitely looks better without it. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Feedback requested for my blog.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedback-requested-for-my-blog/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedback-requested-for-my-blog/#post-806266) * it’s hard to make the color of puke look good. * Also, this might be useful: [http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm](http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm) * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Subdomain issue…. please help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sobdomain-issue-please-help/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sobdomain-issue-please-help/#post-804354) * Are you _sure_ you’ve set up a sub-domain and not just a folder within your current domain? A sub domain has to be registered with your hosting providers domain name servers, which can take some time to propagate. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Need Help Please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-please-5/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-please-5/#post-804761) * Is that file definitely on your server and in the right place? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Removing WordPress From Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-wordpress-from-site/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-wordpress-from-site/#post-804760) * The easiest way to delete all the installation files is if you have shell access, then you can just do an rm -rf on the whole thing. * If you don’t have shell access, your ftp client should let you delete the files. If you get permission errors where you think there shouldn’t be, you’ll have to contact your hosting company. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Tutorial: Practical theme design, Part 1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tutorial-practical-theme-design-part-1/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tutorial-practical-theme-design-part-1/#post-803779) * Firefox can’t find the server at blog.starscapetheme.com. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Header title](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-title/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-title/#post-804316) * do you mean this: <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?> * maybe try this: [http://wpcandy.com/articles/tutorials/the-wordpress-help-sheet.html](http://wpcandy.com/articles/tutorials/the-wordpress-help-sheet.html) * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [I don’t have PHP or MySQL on LOCAL PC but want to install WP on HOST which DOES](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-dont-have-php-or-mysql-on-local-pc-but-want-to-install-wp-on-host-which-does/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-dont-have-php-or-mysql-on-local-pc-but-want-to-install-wp-on-host-which-does/#post-804314) * how does unzipping/un-tarring imply that you need php/mysql? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [rss best practices](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-best-practices/) * [danf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danf/) * (@danf) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-best-practices/#post-803778) * No standard has yet emerged as ‘best’. Wordpress offers all the versions you mentioned, out of the box, so I would just stick with it.
