    MySQL reducing column integer values by 1

    Hi This may seem simple but it not working for me. I currently have the following: UPDATE images SET POPULAR = POPULAR -1 WHERE POPULAR > 0 All I want is to reduce each individual value by one less than the current stored value. Google doesn't seem to give me the answer! What this...

    Review my 1 of a type site, the only of its kind on the whole net?

    As Darkmere points out, the CMS is Wordpress and SEO optimised by Yoast.

    Redesign of SEO image gallery

    Thank you. Final design has been rolled out across the site. A nice little overlaid High Definition Symbol on the thumbs for images over a certain size - which i quite like! @Darkmere - I did try out the switching of images/control panel but TBH, it looked strange when you get the large...

    Redesign of SEO image gallery

    Thank you. I've had to re-design the html structure and css to get this to work in IE. Not tested in <IE8 though so I don't know how it degrades. Simpler - and now show image rating. Thanks to those who looked. Rich

    Redesign of SEO image gallery

    Not a bad idea - think you're right. I have other problems though... even IE8 screws up the img span and Android just hates it! Need to redo all my css.... again! Rich

    Redesign of SEO image gallery

    Hi http://www.qualityimagesearch.com/test.php In order to improve SEO, I have had to re-design my image search engine gallery. Before I go live, could you give some feedback? (just this page and search results) I know it works in FF and Chrome but not so sure about the dreaded IE or safari...

    Help with Googlebot eating my bandwidth!

    Yep - I thought that hotlinked images were freebies too so you must be right. However, I have them as embedded images rather than link-to-.jpg, so it may be counting?? Perhaps I should just do a simple js lightbox type effect - but then I lose the page ranking benefit. I am also at a loss as...

    Help with Googlebot eating my bandwidth!

    Unfortunately, it's making just enough to cover current hosting :( All of the high res images are (ahem) hotlinked. How is that counting toward bandwidth I hear you ask... I'm not sure either but it is. That said, I'm also struggling on server space - with about 1/3 gone already with only...

    Help with Googlebot eating my bandwidth!

    I'm not sure where to put this query. I've been checking my logs because I easily get through 20GB of Bandwidth per month - which takes me up to my limit prematurely and then cuts me off about 7 days before the end of the month (not X10hosting). In the stats, Googlebot (just last month) ate...

    Calling AJAX function relative to recordset ID's

    Perfect. I just added the "str" variable to the output string. document.getElementById("AjaxOutput"+str).innerHTML = result; ..followed by the unique linked div so that the two match. <div class="contentbox" id="AjaxOutput<?php echo $row_fulltext_images['ID'];?>"> <a...

    Calling AJAX function relative to recordset ID's

    Cheers Misson As suggested, I've moved the ajaxDownrate variable into the definition of ajaxDownrateCall - which works a treat. I'm not so clear on what you mean with the downStateChanged. I can't re-declare the ajaxDownrate variable within this function (or can I?)... which is what I thought...

    new innovative site

    Aside from the key points that cybrax raises, I too quite like the concept but found I had to spend several minutes on the site before I figured it out. BTW - what is LIM???? I get LIB and LISK (after reading up) but LIM is not mentioned. I think the reason the site looks messy is because...

    Meh - another Wordpress template site.... another portal.... To be frank, I see so many of these templates now, they seem to blend into one another... am I on my own on this? As for the purpose of the site, I get that it's a portal - linked with twitter... and??? Not so sure. Weirdly, I got...

    Please review my site

    Agreed. This site is a very basic wrapper for linked content. Tips to improve.... 1) Start by not using tabular layout and learn about div's and css (cascading style sheets). 2) Using css, add some padding to your content space - keeping the text away from the outside border. 3) The bright...

    Review my blog

    Good question The service appeals but I too have concerns over control on what you present on your own site. The site itself looks.... a bit templated! Main structure is OK - with a poor lettered logo. The best sites look seamless in both design and structure

    Looking for constructive criticism on an author's blog

    My first impression was.... Simple header - liked. Content - OK - same issue as Essellar - it needs a touch more padding I feel. Then the content became a little.... merged.. I know you have titles, but the whole screen is just white with sections of paragraphed text and seemingly...
