RW Next Steps
A Rapidweaver Forum user recently asked about some uneven spacing between Collage2 items when they had the theme set to fluid width and the built in “grid” unchecked. Un-checking the “grid” no longer forces the Collage2 items into a fixed set of columns. Some of the items did not show as spaced evenly. RW049 show the simple fix.

This Cast is a logical extension of the RW047 Cast on Tabs with Rollover Effects.
It is recommended that you watch RW047 first before viewing RW048.

In CSS Sprites I cover why and how to use Sprites. Sprites are consolidated images into one image where CSS is used to define what part of the image (sprite) to display in each state (link, hover, visited).
It is actually easier than you might think….
Show Notes:
@Stash Plugin mentioned in the Cast – http://nilrogsplace.se/plugins/
(in one part I state that I have 6 images doing the job. I meant that there are 6 possible “positions” to display in the sprite)

Adding image tabs with links inside and outside of you website container. A nice way to give your viewers additional links beyond the built in Rapidweaver navbar.
This cast focuses on using some simple HTML and CSS to create a nice effect. Each tab jumps or “pops” up on hover. This is done with just 3 images.
In the next Cast I plan on showing how to do the exact same thing but with one image!

Did you ever wonder what Lockdown did and where frightened to ask? Or did you think it was all to difficult ? …..
Well don’t worry we have lifted the lid on LockDown and how to get up and running in no time at all.
LogHound has been generous enough to provide a 20% discount on LockDown, so what is stopping you !
Another watch the cast and get a coupon feature from supportcasts
Really useful links
Try before you buy (you cant save the project but you can publish and see what results you can get )
Test your server (the db LogHound keeps is not that big ) so best bet is to download the trial and see where it takes you , as long as the server is Apache and PHP, LockDown will work. Mediatemple, DreamHost and LittleOak are all good .
FAQ pages a wealth of resources from LogHound, be sure to check these out if you have any problems

All Rapidweaver themes come with a plist. What is it and what can you change. The various parts explained.
In this cast I go over how to access the RW Themes, both built in and third party. How to open the contents and is what is inside.
I specifically go over the plist XML file. This is not a training on writing an entire plist. It is a look at the parts and specifically the common things most RW users may change at some point.
