You've inspired me to check it out. It's always a plus to hear someone has had success with such a program. Not to mention you are someone who consistently uses the internet - and is able to test the software to its fullest. </p> <p>I'll check to see if there's a good demo I can try first. Thanks for the tip dotlizard. </p> <p>Now I'm excited - as I'm always on the ongoing quest in finding the "perfect" virus protection software. If only such software existed. :-) </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/virus-protection-software#post-39 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:02:31 +0000 dotlizard 39@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>Windows Live OneCare. I used to use various freeware AV, but they were all such terrible system resource hogs. I was skeptical about using Windows Live, but after reading some good reviews I decided to go ahead and spend the money. I couldn't be happier. I bought the three computer license, but hadn't installed it on my son's machine. He caught that horrible "AntiVirus2009" malware, which immediately killed the existing free antivirus on his machine. Installed Live OneCare and before it was even finished installing, it had solved the problem. </p> <p>And it does not bog down the system. I'm very happy with it. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/classified-ads-using-matterdaddy-script#post-38 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:18:57 +0000 debswebs 38@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have been working on this problem for the last few days and I think using iframes seems like the way to go. However, I still can't get the confirmation window to open in my site. How did you set up the market software on your site? Did you use frames?</p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/favorite-social-media-site#post-37 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:01:20 +0000 admin 37@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>What's your MOST favorite social media site?

I had to make some changes because when I edited the files for the second version, the iframes version was referencing the files for the second version. I have now corrected some of that. Here is the new link. <a href="http://www.dans-place.net/wanted_ads.php." rel="nofollow">http://www.dans-place.net/wanted_ads.php.</a> As I have been thinking about this, I am wondering if it would work correctly if I put the "wanted_ads" file in the market folder rather than leaving it in my root folder. I haven't tried that yet, because it just occurred to me. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/classified-ads-using-matterdaddy-script#post-33 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:25:19 +0000 admin 33@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>I'm looking into your site right now - and will post some thoughts shortly. Your site is looking great by the way!</p> <p>As of now - there is nothing when I click the iframes link; looks like there's nothing attached to that URL. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/classified-ads-using-matterdaddy-script#post-32 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 01:37:33 +0000 debswebs 32@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I had posted this question on your website and you asked me to post it here. So here goes....</p> <p>I have installed the matterdaddy marketplace classified ads on my website, but I am having problems getting it integrated. I have tried two different things and neither one is working satisfactorily. </p> <p>The first way was to install it using iframes. However, when I did that, the confirm posting window always opens in a new, blank window. Then the user has to physically navigate back to my site...not at all what I want them to have to do.</p> <p>The second thing I tried was to incorporate my page design into the matterdaddy scripts. However, with this approach I am running into header issues. My site design is done with all of my formatting in a CSS file and my navigation and headers and footers are all contained in php headers and footers so that my page files only contain the page content.</p> <p>Here are the links to the various ways I have tried. The first one is using iframes<br /> <a href="http://www.dans-place.net/wanted-ads.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dans-place.net/wanted-ads.php</a></p> <p>This one is incorporating my headers and footers into the matterdaddy scripts.<br /> <a href="http://www.dans-place.net/market/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dans-place.net/market/index.php</a></p> <p>I know that you won't be able to help me much without seeing my code, but there is a ton of it and I don't know exactly what to include here. Please advise me as to the best way to get these scripts integrated into my site.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Debbie </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/virus-protection-software#post-24 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:14:16 +0000 admin 24@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>Which do you use? </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/google-search-game-one-result#post-23 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:51:24 +0000 admin 23@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>I've heard of web people trying this game before where you see who can find the most search terms that only give back ONE result.

Just use the following code - and check out my explanations further down the post.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Add the title of your webpage here&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; This is where all of the code will go that the VIEWER will see. &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</code></pre> <br /> As you can see - to start an HTML web page, it's pretty simple actually. You need the &lt;html&gt; tags showing the browser that this is html they are dealing with, and then the BODY and HEAD tags. Everything in the &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt; area is NOT seen by the viewers. Everything in the &lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt; area IS seen by the end viewer. </p> <p>When you save this bit of code (using Notepad to type it out), save it as index.html</p> <p>Then you can right click on the file and open with your favorite browser. Whoila! Your first web page! Play around with this code a little bit - and once you start to understand how to start a page, come back and ask more questions!</p> <p>*Please note that just by making your web page - it doesn't mean its online yet! You are only viewing your web page locally on your computer. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/what-coding-languages-are-your-most-fluent-in#post-8 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:26:32 +0000 admin 8@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>I mainly code in HTML, CSS, and PHP...other then that - I haven't taken the time to learn any other languages.

Use the following:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php code goes here ?&gt;</code></p> <p>I would get in the habit of starting your code with &lt;?php instead of &lt;? now - as it will become easier to integrate with different scripts, other people's coding, and if there are certain settings on your site that don't allow short tags. </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/what-coding-languages-are-your-most-fluent-in#post-5 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:11:41 +0000 admin 5@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>What coding languages do you have the most knowledge of? </p> http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/topic/any-html-questions#post-4 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:08:54 +0000 admin 4@http://smartboydesigns.com/forums/ <p>I am willing to help out with any HTML or CSS questions anyone has.
