FreeStacks – Using Custom Images

September 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment

FreeStack ThemeWelcome our second video tutorial in the FreeStack Theme/System.

In this screencast we are going to look at the “how-to’s” of adding our own custom images to the Theme’s Content package so that they can be used within our design. Ensuring that we follow the proper course of action will make the images work easily from the variations/options that the theme provides us with.

Again, if you are a FreeStack end user, please take the time to join the Google Group that Charlie has setup. It’s an excellent way to get support for your questions and to share your knowledge with others.

Flex EZ Menu – Next Steps

June 8, 2011 by 2 Comments

Flex EZ Meun StackFlex EZ Menu is so much more than a great way to build your RapidWeaver website project’s navigation. It has the flexibility to include images and image galleries. Add video. Include inline content. And power up your tooltips.

For this screencast I not only used Flex EZ Menu, but I also use the Pretty Photo Stack and the Tooltips Stack that are both available from RWExtras. As a side note, you can use the Super Tooltip Stack with Flex EZ Menu.

Join me as I show you how easy you can get the same effects by using Flex EZ Menu.

In-line Styling

May 13, 2011 by Leave a Comment

htmlIn this video tutorial we are going to learn about in-line styling. What it is and how you can use it within RapidWeaver for your design layout.

I will be using HTMchen, a free HTML editor from MyOwnApps. I also use LittleIpsum, another free application from the MacApp Store, that generates “dummy text”

In-line styling can provide you with more detailed control over the various elements of your page within the HTML tag(s) as opposed to a Styled Text page.

So get ready to enhance your skill set and learn another way you can code some creativity.

RapidWeaver Resources Course 4

March 24, 2011 by Leave a Comment

RapidWeaver 5In this last class we are going to look at how to use a resource file in the custom CSS panel of RapidWeaver’s Page Inspector.

We are also going to discuss how a resource file has to be accessed if you create separate, or external, CSS files. We won’t create any external stylesheets as this tends to cover a more advanced topic that would be better covered in a separate set of lessons.

Project File Documentation – Overview

January 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment

RapidWeaver 5Welcome to my first course of 2011.

I want to explore and educate RapidWeaver users on a variety of ways that we can document our project files. Now I know that this may not seem important on the surface but keeping notes within the project file can help us keep track of the things we are doing as we develop websites.

This documentation can prove useful for project files that we have, or need, to share with others developers, or for a team project. They can also prove useful for that project that you created in the past and have to revisit in the future.
