Yeah, mine too. I didn't realize that I was a dentist, math professor, and a porn star!

Regarding a person's name, I would spell it out rather than use initials due to possible acronym conflicts. That said, it is more difficult today to find 'your name'.com available than 20 years ago. Also might want to consider whether seo is necessary. For example, whole name search results are far more 'fine' than using initials (again, acronyms). just my $.02

What do these articles (written by the 50 or so authors) pertain to? Are they entirely individual points of view of various topics, or are they supposed to be related to some corporate business practice or general industry-field? If an article is company-centric, then their 'own' design should be restricted to conform to the standards of the company. If the articles are not related to specific company practices or industry, then the author is less restricted. For example: A lawfirm would have articles (suits) that must adhere to specific standards of layout and content placement, etc., while also having articles (briefs) whose format and content are far less restricted. That same lawfirm may have established standards for each type of article (suits, briefs, etc.).

I like your process for the room archive, kongondo. The only difference I was thinking was to create the dots on-the-fly by dragging a dot-type from a legend onto the image, then having a popup dialog box where the user can add the data associated with that specific dot. So we'd have the parent image-page with child dot-pages, which contains x,y, name, description, etc. I don't have the experience with PW yet, so this would have been my initial approach.

In addition to kongondo's questions, do you want a one-to-one relationship between a user and a map? That is: Do you want each user to upload one or more maps, and subsequently add location data for each map (one-to-many), or, Do you want one map where multiple users add location data to it (many-to-one), or, Do you want one map per user (one-to-one)?

Hi heldercervantes, Just off the top of my head, there are a couple of approaches you could take. The drag and drop approach you suggested in your original post of placing a marker (pseudo-callout) is probably the most user-friendly with images whose 'content' is not consistent (ie, automobiles, furniture, etc). A page containing the image, with sub-pages containing a marker icon and associated text content for each position would be my approach, along with the drag and drop js utility. There could be other options more PW-specific that the members who are much smarter than me might be able to offer.

Nicely done! ...and thanks for the code snippet too. I hadn't looked at the InputfieldMapMarker before, but will be checking it out soon.

Hi Mats, This is nice. Are you computing the coordinates dynamically, or are you hard-coding them? If dynamic, what are you using?

I think that each of your items all relate to usability. Regardless of the user type, whether they be a content writer or casual reader, the layout must remain consistent. By that I am referring to the following (as an example, not a complete list): Menu(s): A user needs to be accustomed to accessing options in the same location, with the same visual queues (colors, icons, etc.), for all pages of a specific type. Links: All links should be consistently displayed; underscores, background colors, whatever the desired style. Images: The use of imagery is a bit more complex. For example, advertisements, figure references within articles, icons, etc., should all be consistently displayed. This requires a little bit more thought as to their creation and presentation. Textual content: Again, consistency is the key. Refer to elements using the same format, such as a list of table data or a figure image. Table data is usually referred to by reference, while a figure is commonly referred to by illustration. Example: Figure 1. illustrates the ..., or, Refer to Table 1 for a list of ... . Even article elements such as a note to the reader should be consistent in it's content and appearance. Basically, it comes down to this: A style guide should the standard for developing the site, just as a coding style guide is used in programming and a corporate standards manual is used with company creatives. The tools you as the developer provide to your users, ckeditor, page fields, etc., should be selected based on the best fit with the approved style guide. Hope this helps!

In my opinion (and that is all that it is), your categorization issue is a bit more complex than just a simple tag reference. For example, the general tag, 'Hair', as related to the 'Fashion' category, is not sufficient to determine a related post. The post context might be referencing hair-removal, while a related post based only on the tag 'Hair' could return a post with content relating to hair-coloring. While this may seem trivial at first, consider how the google dertermines content ranking. It quite possibly could harm your seo results by having 'un-related' references. Creating finer grained tags such as, Hair -> Removal, Hair -> Coloring, and Hair -> Styling, etc., would allow for more accurate relational results. Also, by having a finer-grain tagging system, it would limit the number of related posts results. Personally, I would limit the results to three related references, regardless of the number returned. /$.02

Not hosting on media temple, so can't help you there. But the site does load very slow for me too. Nice looking site, btw. The images are loading very slow, between 408ms to 951ms each, on average, each time I view the site. This is not good, especially since your image sizes (KB) are small. Just based off this info, it would appear to be an issue with the particular server. Is this shared hosting?

Since we have a new security forum, why not post a topic containing the IPs and related files there, where we can all benefit from a pseudo- 'blacklist'?

I certainly can appreciate the effort that went into developing macaw, as well as the others mentioned. But like Mike Rockett said, coding is better for me. I am old-school, and still flowchart my procedures. o_O I have tried other pseudo-gui applications in the past, but was always dis-satisfied with the unclean code they generated; It took longer to learn the app, then clean up the output, than starting from idea/sketch/code process. I'm not saying these are a bad thing. They just aren't for me. /$.02

I like this site; simple, clean, and effective. Your html is formatted well too, which is always an seo plus. The only thing missing is the "powered by" Seriously, nice work. If I had to critique something, it would be the layout of 'alberta news' and 'twitter feed' content. It just 'looks' odd lineally separated. It only responds side by side at a very narrow-tolerance display width. Personally, I would make the side by side look for those two sections standard for all displays except the smallest.

Hello pixelschiff, and welcome to the forum. I do like the site; it is uniquely layed out. One issue is the text link contrast at the bottom of the page. It is difficult to read. Nice first post.

Certified hosting is a very good company who offers managed vps up to dedicated. Don't laugh, but godaddy has managed and unmanaged vps plans that are actually good performers at reasonable prices. One bonus is a free ssl cert.

The site is clean, looks good, and loads quickly. I would add the bio info for the instructors, and add a detailed description of the voice and piano instruction for programs so that the prospect/student can see that the offerings meet their interests. I know you said you are adding pages in the future -- Just wanted to offer a couple of notes for those pages. Nice work!

Noooooo! Do not walk into the light. It is a trick! I walked away from winblows in '03 and never looked back. Now I sleep well too.

I just wanted to post this in an additional location for those that may not know about, or frequent the ProcessWire Blog. This is a great source of information that describes possible uses of the various field types, and the optional modules that accompany ProcessWire. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-2.6.19-plus-guide-to-optional-core-modules/ Take a few minutes and read this article. It helped me to find elements that I didn't know I needed.

That is where my question came from. Looking forward to trying this out soon. Nice work.

Okay/ Was just curious. I'm here to learn as much as I can. Which at my age isn't easy.

This looks nice. I'll be testing this shortly, but I do have a question. Just glancing through the module, why are you setting 500 errors, or 422, etc. rather than throwing errors?

This might not be much help. A 'lag' in display effects is commonly a cache issue. The new visual effect would become permanent after the cache was updated, if this is indeed the case. An intermittent, i.e., alternating effect is puzzling. Does this occur in different browsers? I'm sure a more knowledgeable member will be along shortly.
