Re: Framework VS CMS

Check out ProcessWire CMS/CMF (Content Management Framework isn't something you hear often). It's like what most people coming from WP-as-a-CMS development, with Joomla and Drupal as the leading alternatives, dream about. I think I've mentioned it in response to someone else before only because it's so awesome and intuitive, even for non-devs, which there seem to be plenty of on this forum as well, looking to get results fast. Well, PW is a great solution. The learning curve is cake, from what I've found, and I'm not very experienced at all myself in programming or server-side development, just dabbled some. The community is also incredibly responsive, helpful and encouraging. Of course, the platform you choose to build on depends heavily on what you intend to build; but I'd give PW a look-see for either this or future projects.

Re: How to start on #top

You can use a Javascript redirect in the <head>:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "http://www.nanotekindustries.com/#top";
</script>

FYI, you have Caribbean misspelled. Also site does not work correctly in latest Firefox. And you might want to make the email address there a mailto: link.

Re: rewrite files

You can try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Serve PHP files sans ext" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.php" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Re: Bad Grammar

What bad grammar indicates to me is a lack of critical thinking. It's nothing deep or complex, but that's even more reason that the difference between "it's" and "its" for example should be apparent: i.e., because it's just not that difficult. It makes sense, if you think about it AT ALL. So what is it, you can't spare that tiny spurt of thought to get it right? Maybe that's a bad example because it's only different written, and I suppose some people have no need to write. But in my opinion it's the same difference, I think about it all the same in my pretty little head.

So bad grammar doesn't look good, that much is true, it doesn't read well. Thing is, like someone said on the first page, so many people go to the mall rather than the library... (paraphrase)

Then when it comes to coding, I really get bothered by things like misspellings, especially in code, things like that -- because the thing is that the person writing it is most likely overlooking a slew of other little things too, "minor details", but in programming those can make all the difference; and if your code works, it's very unlikely that it's anywhere close to optimal. This is just from what I've seen. I'm no professional programmer by any means anyway, but I have been cursed with a critical eye (and a hearty slice of humble pie). Grammar and coding are similar in that they are/have syntactical standards …
