Sorry to ask but can any/everyone take a look at the image above and tell me what colours I've used for the tabs. My girlfriend seems to think they're two shades of grey =( I'm hoping it's just her monitor.

Okay I'll be putting my site online soon*. It'll be incomplete but hopefully it'll be good enough to earn me a few pennies while I finish it off =)

Most likely I'll run into some problems so I hope you all dont mind working over New Years? Good =)

Ah thank you cjh :) I'll have to give it a try and see if I can get it working ^^ I'm keen to have the function if it'll help people read my pages without resizing everything.

Knew I forgot to mention this ...

Machie:
"Nuts, I'm not having much luck googling for one"

Now, call me crazy, but wasn't the example you linked to what you were after :)

If you have a little snoop at the source code, you'll see a JavaScript reference to the code they use. Viewing this file shows that the author of the code is Raymond Santucci, and that he has released it under a create commons licence, which allows you to use this source file for your own web site, so long as you retain his reference in the file.

So, make a copy-and-paste of the source code (make sure you keep the reference to Ray), saving the file as resize.js (or whatever you want, just ensure it has a .js extension).

Open up the file and look for the bit of code, elementID = '[B]story[/B]'; // the element to change font-size within, which is near the top, and either change the value [B]story[/B] to the ID value that you've used in your HTML for the section of text you wish to be resized, or set the id value in your HTML to [B]story[/B] (bit of a mouthful I know), for example:


<html>
... yada yada ...
<div>
some web content, that you do [B]not[/B] want to resize via this script
</div>
... yada yada ...
<div [B]id="[U]story[/U]"[/B]>
some web content, that you [B]do[/B] want to resize via this script
</div>
... yada yada ...
</html>


Then, add the resize links to your web site, wherever you want them such as:


<script type="text/javascript">
document.writeln("<p>");
document.writeln("<a href=\"#story\" onclick=\"myTextSize('incr'); return false;\" title=\"Increase story text size\">increase text<\/a>");
document.writeln("<a href=\"#story\" onclick=\"myTextSize('decr'); return false;\" title=\"Decrease story text size\">decrease text<\/a>");
document.writeln("<\/p>");
</script>


Finally, reference the JavaScript file in your HTML page(s), within the opening <head> and closing </head> elements, using <script type="text/javascript" [B]src="[I]resize.js[/I]"[/B]></script>.

And that should give you the result you wanted ... unless of course I've made some syntax errors, which is highly likely :)

digg.com it's one of those social bookmarking sites. If someone finds a good video, article, blog, photos, news, tutorial, etc it can be submitted by anyone and if it's good it'll go up to the front page and get a huge amount of attention. Fark is similiar. Slashdot is more about geek news though.

Remember, I was a guest lecturer at Warwick University on eCommerce . =) Some of these things I've been planning since the mid 90ies, only the last few months have I heard about sites like Digg and Fark. I've been reading all about them and studying their effects. My language site is not the one I'll be launching first, there's another that I have been planning for 4 years, the language site comes after although is part of the first site.

I've managed to increase my ad budget to £600 now, but viral marketing is probably the best thing I'm good at. Which leads me to my next task today. I need to be able to film my desktop. You might have seen some tutorial videos, well that's what I'll be doing.

Dont suppose anyones tried it before? No? I'll go google it then :)

How are you estimating your site's popularity? I would have thought you would be starting small and building traffic as the site grows.

You may be worrying prematurely about being dugg etc. It will take some months for you to establish the site on Search Engines...

I hope not, I'm paying £18 a month now for my site =) but it'll be 10 times that when the site launches as I'll have to have a dedicated server so I dont get dugged, slashdotted and farked. (where a huge spike in traffic in a short amount of time cases the site to crash)
