I don't know how many times I've run across this issue for various reasons such as: - Eclipse won't start because it's trying to load a workspace that contains projects that reference folders that don't exist anymore - I want to remove old workspaces from showing up in the recommended workspaces list - etc. So to get right to the point, here is my ...

If you’ve ever been to Panera Bread you know a couple of things to be true, great food and one of the only remaining companies to still offer free wifi internet. It was just a typical Thursday for me, nothing out of the norm. I worked my first delivery of the day and then stopped off at Panera to grab some breakfast, check my email, and check in ...

I’ve heard there’s a first time for everything and that has become an expression that occurs almost daily in my life. Throughout the entire process of making JealousBrother.com a reality it seems like I’ve ran into one obstacle after another. When everything you encounter is new it can be challenging, especially when you’re faced with tasks like leasing a server, registering a trademark, and choosing a web developer. ...

If you want your website to stand out and be easily recognizable then you will need to consider a custom logo to go along with the unique domain name you have already registered. Once again there are multiple options for getting this done. There are numerous companies online who offer custom logos for a flat rate. These companies usually allow for a certain amount of revisions and offer ...

Ideally, an attorney should handle your trademark registration. Unfortunately money doesn’t grow on trees so your only option may be to register the trademark on your own. Even if you complete this task on your own be prepared to pay between $350.00 - $1,500.00 for the USPTO filing fees. There is a reason the cost can vary so much; it depends on how many classes/categories you need to ...

After the WDA had been signed and the details had been thoroughly discussed the developer started work on photo shop comps of the website while I began a new journey; the quest for a server. Being so green when I started this project I actually thought you could successfully run a social network on a shared hosting plan. Well, in theory you could for a short time, but ...

I’m going to take a couple of steps backwards to explain a certain necessary evil. With websites and social networks in particular there are a lot of legal issues that should be addressed. When I say necessary evil what I really mean is attorneys. They have what you need and without them you’ll be lost. Sure, you could sign up for a website and steal their legal documents, ...

After quickly realizing this website was far beyond anything I could do with any kind of html editors, I started requesting quotes from multiple web design firms online by providing a generic description of what I was hoping to achieve. The results were mind blowing, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 with the sky being the limit. This was almost a dream crusher for me but due to the ...

So you have a great idea for a social network and a great domain name to go with it? If you are new to the wonderful world of the web you might be inclined to think that registering the domain name is half of the battle. It is true that the name of the website is very important and registering it before someone else does will almost guarantee ...

This is a documentation of my first attempt to install Wordpress MU. Since others will certainly face this situation I thought it would be helpful to tell my story. The first steps are very straightforward. It's only until you begin the installation that you'll most likely encounter problems. I should note that I'm coming at this from a background in having installed the single-blog version of Wordpress many times ...

Like many others I run a development version of a local Apache webhosting server called WAMP. Up until today I had a normal file structure built for clients and specific client work. Usually I build a large majority of the site locally before uploading it to a production server. This has caused me a lot of problems with using absolute paths because I basically couldn't. Before moving to ...

I love CSS but I have spent countless hours swearing at my computer because of CSS... It's a love/hate relationship really. Although web standards have been around for a while now, people still use tables and improper code to create websites. For the most part I'm not talking about professional websites, but for a lot of people, it's easier/quicker to just write using traditional methods despite it's obvious ...

In part 1 I tried to explain the basics of HTML. Now, I will go into a little more detail.First things first. Let's look at some code. I want to explain the different parts of a standard HTML page. Every complete web page needs the following elements: - html - head - body Each element must be enclosed in the right tags for that element (a tag is a way to describe the ...

Recently a co-worker has been interested in learning a little bit of HTML. He's very insightful in realizing the huge value you get for investing a little time. Honestly there's really only a little bit you need to learn in order to have a pretty good understanding of HTML. I always tell people, "I could teach you in 5 minutes - it's simple." I'm going to give you ...

I've spend the the last couple days designing and developing the shopping cart/billing/shipping section of AtomicCoffeeShop.com which includes integration with the United States Postal Service's API. In theory it sounds pretty cool, but in actuality, it's only been up and running for me for a day or so and I'm already coming across problems. In testing alone, their server seems like it's down. I'm getting a lovely "HTTP request ...
