Anyone else having the issues?It's because the links to the photos on Mike's history page have a backslash in their URL in the webpage's source code, instead of the Web standard forward slash--

There's so much and such diverse technology that it would almost seem mandatory to develop a specialty (like CSS design or Javascript or whatever).You are right Steve. There are quite a few different languages and aspects to knowing web design, that it's very difficult to know a lot about all of them. I think that I am like most web programmers in that I have one fairly strong area and basic knowledge of a lot of others. I know enough CSS, HTML, Javascript, AJAX, and a minimal amount of ActionScript Flash that I can get by. My strongest areas are PHP and MySQL. I also know a lot about search engine optimization, which has helped grow this site so quickly.
Steve_D wrote:all kinds of stuff like AJAX (I still don't know that that is)AJAX is actually a pretty simple concept. You basically use javascript to make a call to the backend and return data without having to reload an entire page. When I've written AJAX stuff, I've made calls through a javascript function to a PHP function that then queried the MySQL database, returned data all the way back through the javascript to spit out HTML to the screen. Similar stuff is being done on the community portion of the site. Anytime a little window pops up to write a message or when you write in your blog, that's AJAX.

Here are 2 pictures of what is left of the garden after trying to cover it in as much glass as possible.
