new to it all

  • https://www.everydayfaith.org
    Three questions:
    I “McGyver-ed” my template and for the most part I’m happy with it, especially considering how little I know. One problem I do have is resizing: the background resizes when the window is changed, but everything else stays in place. Help?
    Also, I have heard how bad IE is of late. What’s the best alternative?
    Lastly (is that a real word?), are there some good pugins/hacks/photo gallery programs available for creating additional gallery pages?
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

  • t_o_m,
    I’m not seeing the resizing problem…perhaps you’ve fixed it already?
    IE has always been bad. ?? Too bad so many use it. That said, I highly recommend Mozilla or Firefox as a browser. There are many extensions available to you which can assist you in the design and troubleshooting of your site(s). They are free, and are widely supported by a HUGE user base.
    Some here will suggest Opera, but they are all insane. Just ignore them. LOL! ??
    There are some photo-gallery/blogging tools out there. Alex King has one, along with other fun stuff here.
    WTC is also a great place to look for such things. Pictorialis and Pictorialis II are available.
    I’d also such a search here on the forums, as a lot of folks have helped out with photo stuff and there are likely other tools out there that have slipped my mind.
    I like your site design, too!

    Lastly is real but wth is McGyvered? Complete etymology with references please ??
    Not sure what you mean about resizing? Looks OK to me…
    Browsers: a lot of people here use Firefox (download at mozilla.org) and some use Opera (opera.com)
    HTH.

    Ha the moose beat me to it! Although I am typing this in Firefox, I need to stick up for Sushubh here and point out two plus points for Opera: resizing includes images, and integrated RSS reader.

    eric,
    LOL…
    “McGyver” was a popular TV show in the US and Canada where the central character, McGyver, was famous for being someone who could escape from a prison cell that was wrapped in explosives using a penny he found on the floor, a lace from his shoe, and two buttons off of his shirt. In other words, he could always make something cool out of a very basic set of tools and materials.
    Oh, and t_o_m, ignore eric’s comments about Opera. He’s obviously insane like Sushubh! ??

    Both of you guys, lol…
    Moose, thanks for the assist on my McGyver-ism. Maybe it’s just my version of IE that’s can’t work resizing.
    Hmmm, Opera or FireFox; looks like I’ll have to try both.
    Thanks for the help; I really appreciate it!

    Well other mike for some reason you have defined a width for the body in your css. That is not what many of us would do. Hence the browser problem.

    Thanks Root!
    Removing the width tag fixed it, even in IE.

    Even in IE ? No. ??
