    Pay with PayPal and never enter a Credit card, possible?

    PayPal CAN be used to buy pretty well anything on the net- but you can't use the buy it now button and you have to talk to the vendor. Hitting a buy it now button usually (but not always) takes you to the poxy CC page, which you can't get past. If you want something from the intertubes...

    New group for pro designers

    What's the point of the group? I'm up for it if there's some useful purpose, but if it's just another way of sucking up time to no good effect there's too many of those already. Have this as an offering anyway. It will be a site, but keeps turning into a testbed: http://lasered.info/

    Please review my site

    Not too bad, but a little rough-looking OK, some suggestions: 1) You're trying to get too much on the front page. Also, the point of the site isn't immediately clear. Yes, it's a field. Are you selling accomodation, food, transport, promoting the local area, what? You should make the...

    Boosting laptop wifi broadcast signal

    I just found this out today. There's been a few occasions -mostly when trying for some free wifi- when the signal has been banging in at 3 bars out of 5; but I can't connect. It turns out that manufacturers turn the wifi broadcast power down out of the box; because it helps battery time and...

    Need logo cleaned up 500c and turned into a vector image 500c (1000 total)

    I'm on a Britishified Spanish laptop. Could be I have some funky European version. Or could be Illustrator is being an arse. Either is possible. EDIT: It was a CorelDraw file exported to .AI. the problem could be there as well.

    Need logo cleaned up 500c and turned into a vector image 500c (1000 total)

    Arial and arial black. You can't be missing those. But here they are anyway:

    Need logo cleaned up 500c and turned into a vector image 500c (1000 total)

    The proportions are slightly different because I built it from scratch. Had to- the original was too ****ed up to save. Darker blue because I did in Coreldraw in a CMYK colourspace. Hope that's OK. EDIT: The colour doesn't really matter- just fill a vector with your favourite colour...

    Need logo cleaned up 500c and turned into a vector image 500c (1000 total)

    Apologies. Turning it into a vector cleaned it up. Plus I didn't read that bit until just now. It's all one process anyway. Thumbnail = .png, exported from the vector. In the zip = .png (lossless bitmap- use to export other bitmap types from in bitmap app) .eps (vector, standard...

    I need some know how

    I'm just trying it out at the moment. But the prices look right, once you weed out the non-english speakers bidding for writing jobs. Easy enough to spot though.

    I need some know how

    Firstly, you need to get rid of the Joomla logo and favicon.ico. Well, it's specifically for maths problems. What sort of problems are you going to expect to encounter and solve; and can the problems be grouped into categories? There's your layout. There's free Joomla themes all over the...

    What CMS do you suggest?

    @200206695 I'd suggest Wordpress for a first attempt. Yes, it's for blogging, but you can turn all that off and end up with a good-looking site in very little time. That you -or your clients- can change as necessary. All done from the control panel...there's no need for you to play with a...

    Crone jobs? Is that when you outsource the work to little old Latvian grandmothers?

    What do you think of my website logo?

    Margins will probably be in the CSS file. There's a free visual editor with video tutorials here: http://www.skybound.ca/ Banner setup might well be in header.php http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ ...is a reasonably good text editor

    What do you think of my website logo?

    Looks pretty smart. I'd continue what you've done, and move the white bit further left until the top, bottom and left blue 'margins' all look the same & then maybe resize the text again to fit the space. It looks a little unbalanced with that blue chunk on the left. Smooth & professional...

    Image with white background

    Use the 'save for web & devices'. PNG-24 in the format dropdown. If it gives you a matte option, change to 'none'. Then you should be good to go. Any white left will be feathering where you've clipped it.

    Image with white background

    Post the image. I'll do it. PNG should definitely work. What PS version? PNG-24, not PNG8, yes? Is matte turned off in the PNG dialogue? Is there a matte in the PNG dialogue?
