I’ve created a website and it has a store on the site. I’d like to integrate magento into my site’s design (it’s straight up html with some css). How / Can this be done?
Thanks!
yes. you would have to style the magento template to your current sites style for it to look seemless. that requires work.
but in general just put it in its own directory and have ur shit be like
magento would be in /store/ dir

I want to create a social link sharing and commenting site. It’s pretty much a redit for a certain vertical niche. Any one have ideas on how to get that going? I could use a WordPres blog with rating plugins and comments but im not sure if that will have the right look. Figured I’d ask here
Wow, easier than I figured. Thanks

He’s already got a site up and running in WP and he said he would prefer to keep the framework and everything the same, but he just wants a new look. But then he said using Drupal would be ok, too.
He’s already got all the content and everything so this is just a superficial overhaul.
He wants something with lightish colors that is more inviting to the users, and the example he gave were these sites:
I don’t really do web design, at least in the capacity that he wants, so I figured I’d see if anyone here was interested.

So I’m helping a friend out with a conversion to wordpress. He’s got a custom coded blog cms that sucks. I’ve got a rough outline mostly based on the 4hww design. It’s super rough and needs quite a bit of style but the basic elements are there. The main problem is that I can manipulate data all day long but I turn into a retard when it comes to CSS. We’re trying to avoid dropping 3k for someone to just make a 2 column theme that looks bad ass.
Any advice on turning this into a theme or general advice on what you would change? Who would you have do it?

any info on how to reduce mysql’s cpu usage?
talking about a wordpress mysql database.
do you have wp-cache/supercache installed?
1. Cache
2. How much access do you have to the DB server.
query cache + basic mysql optimization.. check your buffers, mem size, etc.
High cpu could be caused by disk IO bottle necks.. run sysstat to see iops. (in sysstat package)
SCSI/SAS/SSD RAID array… RAID10 if you’re write heavy, RAID5/50 if you’re read heavy.

I’m wanting to show a different background on my site, depending on the resolution of the browser.. Is this even possible?
Why do you want to do that? There may be a better solution to whatever problem you’re trying to solve.
This works by the way, but I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t a better way of accomplishing whatever you’re trying to accomplish.
Can be done with javascript.
Here’s an example of changing stylesheets with jquery depending on the resolution:

We sell gifts for readers, writers, and book lovers. Unique stuff like bookmarks, journals, book jewelery, etc.
What are some good advertising mediums to check out?
So far we’re looking at Project Wonderful, CraftCult, and Craftopolis. We’re also going to be doing some Google adwords and Facebook ads. I think we have like $130 in adwords credits.
Also, which is better to advertise per, Page Views, or Unique users?
Either for advertising on, or for being advertised on. Any thoughts?
We’ve got an online storefront that sells niche products (gifts for readers, writers and the unique) and we’re trying to find advertising mediums.
on the publisher side, it sucks. you end up using valuable ad space for pennies a day.
Isn’t how much you pay directly proportionate to how popular your site is?
