So... When I started w/ GoDaddy, they were cheap & accommodating...w/ great support & lots of free features. Now, I'm paying over $150 annually for deluxe Linux hosting; & they are now charging $140 annually for SSL (which I don't currently have). In February, Google is going to stop showing websites in searches that do not have SSL...so I really need to make a move now. 1) Can anyone offer advice on a good hosting service that offers a lot of space...offers a deluxe (multiple domain) package...has free SSL...& is cheaper (much cheaper, I hope) than GoDaddy? 2) I have 3 domains & host 3 sites w/ GoDaddy...how difficult a task is it to transfer those domains? thanx, mf

hello... I found what I believe is a 'glyphicon' button...labeled MAP; & also having the google maps marker icon...it is at this site: https://www.capitalareaofna.org/meetings/ I looked thru the code & couldn't seem to find an image or link of any sort, but would really like to use it as a map link button on my own site. any ideas? [OR...does anyone know where I can find a similar button...one that is labeled MAP & also contains a map type icon (I would make my own standard html button, but I really like the one on the above site; & the idea of a map icon on the button in general)] thanx, dox

thanx for posting my thread; & sorry (didn't realize). However...how can someone help me if they can't get hold of the code? thanx, dox

hello... On my home page ( [DELETED] )...the Navigation Bar scrolls correctly on any computer display. But on any cell phone, it will not scroll upward and out of the way of the content below it (content which is very important to view fully). Is there some code snippet that can be added to accommodate this? thanx, mark4man

hello again... please take a look at this site in progress: http://www.moonjams.net/cho2.html I used a bootstrap design I nicked from GetBootstrap, because: 1) I very much liked the overlapping of the intro text & intro image in the section class 2) The fact that the main navbar is placed below the header (in fact...my entire design premise is built around those two aspects; & the image collage above the footer)...but...the entire design is also linked to an external GetBootstrap stylesheet...meaning that, if that stylesheet were ever yanked from that site, my site would fall flat on it's face. so...here's my basic questions: 1) In Bootstrap design...in any basic editor (right now using Dreamweaver CC2018)...how would I design (FROM SCRATCH) a page to look like this...where I could link to my own stylesheet; & also link to my own custom fonts? I've tried all the basic bootstrap templates (from Dreamweaver), but can't find anything even similar. When I use an existing template, I don't have the knowledge to maneuver it into that design. 2) in the past, I was used to working in a wysiwyg editor, where I could physically move images & text blocks around on a page...but that method is relegated to static design (& not responsive design). Is there some function in all basic editors that allows me to select an attribute & then somehow guide it to where I want it to be placed on the page...OR, even better yet...issue sets of commands in the code to have it placed there properly (so that I'm learning how to code properly as I'm working)? thanx, mf

hello again... not talking about a responsive grid here, where images are fully separated from each other & fixed in their own block...but rather a typical photo collage, similar to magazine page design, where images *overlap* each other. Is this possible, in bootstrap (or any other form that can be incorporated into a bootstrap site)...??? thanx, mf

So... My local area of NA's website is complete & launched (w/ the help of some folks here...thanx). 1) My original background image was 1950 X 1460 & about 1.2MB...it loaded slow...& because of the bootstrap template I used, you can only see the very top of it. 2) I figured I could reduce file size & accomplish the same thing graphically by cropping the size to just the top. When I did that...something in the code relative to it's position or display caused it to increase in size on the home page, showing only a small percentage of that cropped image (& ruining the look of it). And...even that smaller image loaded slow. 3) So...not knowing how to alter the code relative to the display of that more narrow image, I decide to use the original size image & optimize it for the web, which decreased it's file size down to 205 KB. BUT...that image still loads slow! So I'm hoping someone can look at my home page code & tell me what is wrong...why the smaller images still load slow; & why the narrow image (which was reduced in height from 1460 down to 375) appeared larger. I'm not sure if my problem is a code problem or an image file size problem. http://www.burlingtoncountyna.org/ thanx, dox

hello again... My NA area's website (due to launch next month) has a Meeting Schedule page, navigated to from the MEETINGS link in the main nav bar on the home page: http://www.moonjams.net/BurlCoNA-VII.html. That schedule has Tabs for every day of the week. My idea was to have the Tab open for the particular day of the week it happens to be (i.e., if it's Monday, I wanted the Monday Tab to automatically open when the schedule page is navigated to). Right now...no matter the day of the week...it always opens on 'Sunday'. Can someone please help w/ this...???...this is the last task I need to have accomplished prior to launching the site (other than populating the various pages). thanx very much, Dox

hello again... Attempting to design a site for my local area of NA [from scratch...(now in Pinegrow)...one that had previously been designed in Macromedia DW 2004...whereby all the child divs were of 'absolute' positioning; & resided inside a parent div set to margin: 0 auto...so everything was centered on the page (over a background image)]...but absolute positioning is horrible for responsive code construction; & I want our new site to be up to protocol for browser resize & smaller devices. So...given the conspicuous lack of templates around the web (& in the app) that actually look like what I want to do...I worked up a rough sample of what the site should look like...roughly...(it's very simple, so this should be easy, right?): http://www.moonjams.net/BurlCoNA.png Keep in mind that all that you see above is always centered on the page (w/ a background image behind it)...& the page has to be responsive, whereby everything is distributed/flows correctly for browser resize & smaller devices. ALSO: 1) The oval image block must be positioned where you see it on the page...top/left (in the parent)....over the gray rectangle. ALSO 2) Speaking of which...the first child block (gray rectangle) is just that...a rectangular element filled w/ gray...not a header or paragraph or anything. ALSO 3) Please don't send me to such-and-such tutorial or such-and-such code learning online seminar...I just want to do this on my own, so as to learn the basics of coding a responsive site along the way...(& if it turns out I'm too stupid for this task...if someone could put together a starter code page, where I could then place my own blocks/images/text...I would be happy to pay you, in kind...I just need to get this done; & my local area is waiting). thanx, dox

hello... In my designs, I almost always create a Parent Layer (div)...w/ relative positioning; & w/ a margin of '0 auto' so it remains centered on the page (since I almost always use background images)...& then my other divs (nested inside the parent) are always positioned absolutely...the code of which would look something like this:

TITLE

Some Text

...with a result similar to this: http://www.moonjams.net/EXAMPLE.png So...I'm not a pro coder by a long shot...I design like a graphic illustrator would in laying out a magazine page...but...given the fact that I've been told never to use Absolute Positioning (on the Child divs inside the Parent), how would I now re-code that page (using I'm assuming CSS thrown in w/ the HTML) so that it looks like that until the browser gets resized...& then all the elements flow correctly, stacking the way they're supposed to...left to right, top to bottom...WITHOUT USING THE DREADED ABSOLUTE POSITIONING...??? [btw...not asking to have my work done for me...but if someone could please provide just a short code example using a couple fictitious image blocks, I would be appreciative...OR...direct me to an informational on the web detailing exactly how to do it...thanx]. thanx, dox

hello again... I need to create a link on one page (my home page) that links directly to a image on another page already containing multiple images. Thought I knew how to do it...by creating an anchor; & my code looks like this: a href="theOtherPage.html#PHOTO.png">IMAGE SUBJECT but it doesn't work. Even tried the forward slash after the page id: a href="theOtherPage.html/#PHOTO.png">IMAGE SUBJECT (of course both snippets are encased w/ [...just couldn't get that to work here) when the user clicks the link, I want them to be directed right to a specific image on a 2nd page...here's the page:](</a) http://www.moonjams.net/events.html there's 2 images there now, but there will eventually be more. Thought it was just a simple anchor, but does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? thanx, mark4man
