Some method sections are duplicated on every page, and as the manual progresses the content as been revised. This creates a lot of backtracking to ensure all the previously build cards are the same. I am about to begin a new updating phase of the manual I was considering the use of XML as a method to edit the duplicated content more efficiently. Does anyone have any experience building training manuals, I would appreciate any ideas regarding the handling of this type of project.</p> <p>Regards! </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/getting-started-as-web-designer-advice#post-224 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:16:31 +0000 Jenn 224@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>I would like to transition from ASP.NET development to designing and building sites on a freelance basis. I have the basic mechanics of XHTML/CSS, and am about to start classes in Photoshop/Flash and "Web Publishing" at my community college in a few weeks. Can anyone give any pointers on the best way to actually get started? I think that the first thing I need is a portfolio, but how to get the work to populate it? My thoughts on this so far are: see how far I can build on school projects to make them worthy, find a few people to make free websites for? Am I headed in the right direction so far? </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/new-to-programming-038-design#post-223 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:48:38 +0000 fatboyjim 223@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>I would head in the direction of php and mySQL for database driven CMS sites.

If time is important you could always get a freelance flash designer/developer to do the work for you, depending on the amount of work it may even cost as much as the software. </p> http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/my-new-site#post-218 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:26:08 +0000 TrackBeatz 218@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ <p>Hi im opening up my own site <a href="http://www.trackbeatz-records.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.trackbeatz-records.co.uk</a> but i need a decent flash layout fully coded and in expandables but i dont now what programs to use.

Using CSS you could add a absolute style to the img tag. eg<br /> <code>&lt;img src="image.jpg" style="position:absolute;top:50px;right:400px;"/&gt;</code></p> <p>good luck </p>
