Wine In Checked Baggage

[taxi99]

I would like to alter my webpage and brush up on using Frontpage.

Are there any courses around, english of course?

How about online Frontpage tutorials? or perhaps download an ebook or 'how to' program. Would save a lot of time, effort and dosh.

A lot of folks, including me, find tutorials great for reference material, but when it comes to learning a whole new system, even a WYSIWYG page builder, there's nothing as fast or as easy as real human tuition and interaction.

If you are learning from scratch taxi99, you might want to consider learning to use Dreamweaver as your page builder/editor. It's really not as daunting as it first appears.

Why not try something else than frontpage? considering that you have to learn a program anyway.

Check out the free http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompozer

many more kompozer tutorials and videos: http://www.google.co.th/search?q=kompozer+tutorials

That said, there are a host of books and online videos on learning dreamweaver.

But if you get to a point where you feel you need dreamweaver, you probably need something else.

Frontpage 2003! argghh!

dont bother, learn Dreamweaver - 300baht at pantip or ikon. Got to be less complicated than frontpage, unless its just the 'fronpage extensions' that you are dependant on, and are worried about rigging up forms etc. These days webhosts usually have ready made forms you just need to fill in the blanks - if you dont want to program your own.

Also there are many WYSIWYG content editors online, that means you can edit your webpage online, without software eg: http://www.joomla.org/ check it out..

off the top of my head, one of the cheapest host i use: from $5 a month, http://www.hostgator.com/ has joomla/ blogs etc all built in for free.

I can give you tuition on Dreamweaver/ whatever aspects of wed dev or design, i guess i could even do frontpage, although i havent looked at it since 2003 - when it comes down to it, they are the same, with different buttons!

If any of you other web/IT/maths guys know how to rotate a sphere to show the exact sunlight angle on the earth, (not mercator) id love to talk. Im sure i can do it, but I need a maths guru to hold my hand. Also need to do a star map. Any astronomers in town?

Geeky yes, but its more fun than sudoku..

Google Earth for both features?... sunlight feature on G Earth and star maps on G Sky

How about iWeb? Soooo easy. NO lessons necessary.

Of course you need a MAC, but who doesn't

Thanks! Im pretty sure there must be an easy formula out there. input lat and long, and bingo.

maybe it can be reverse engineered from http://th.php.net/manual/en/function.date-sun-info.php

which gives:

sunrise: 05:52:11

sunset: 15:41:21

transit: 10:46:46

civil_twilight_begin: 05:24:08

civil_twilight_end: 16:09:24

nautical_twilight_begin: 04:52:25

nautical_twilight_end: 16:41:06

astronomical_twilight_begin: 04:21:32

astronomical_twilight_end: 17:12:00

then i guess having the sunrise/sunset, divide the 'sunlight' period by 24, then divide the sphere by the result. calculate offset from sunrise or sunset as degrees. this gives me a zone of light on the sphere of fairly precise distance? but then how to centre the zone, not knowing the angle of the sun. maybe that has to do sun transit? . No actually i think all the above is wrong. argghh. wheres me pills?

Sounds like you could do with a beer ole mate

Frontpage I hear tends to carry too much extraneous code and may not rank well. Dreamweaver is a much better program. Play with it and get some lessons if necessary as it will do most things in most scripts. Amateurs like us can set up pretty decent websites, with the full bells and whistles though, pay a professional.

You sound like my brother who has a MAC. He is probably right.
