what format is best for online user guides?
97582
You want to put a user guide on the internet. Use the language of the internet, html.\n\nWhy not pdf? Because it requires a plugin (namely adobe's acrobat reader) and personally I find it takes ages to load the darn thing online.\n\nWhy not flash? Because it again requires a plug in (namely Macromedia's flash player) and if you ever want this guide to be searchable through a search engine it will never happen. A flash file is a movie, nothing for the search engines to get their teeth into.\n\nWhy html? Because it is the language that every piece of equipment attatched or looking at the net understands without any hassle. Its simple to write a script to convert the pages into actual help files for download if you wish to. It is searchable, by both search engines and your own internal search system. It can be read and understood by anyone, even those peeking around with their wap enabled mobile phones.

There are several.\n\nhttp://www.php.net is the official site with the manual, downloads, user comments, etc.  it also links to mirrors in case the site is bogged down.\n\nhttp://www.phpbuidler.com is another good resource, along with http://www.phpfreaks.com

Very good start.\nI think you should have a standard template for your site and then follow the same template standard for the rest of your site.  That will make it look more professional. \nBy the way, are you hosting your website on a stand-alone dedicated server or is it on a regular hosting company?  I hope you know when the forum grows, you'll need to give lots of tech support to your member else you'll lose them.

This is a really good guide to making basic lookups. There's also a great link in that guide on making sidebars.

W3C?\n\nI am not sure I understand your question. Please clarify.\n\nIf you are wondering about the recommended specifications for website code and development, then the most popular group for guidelines on the subject is the W3C ("World Wide Web Consortium"). View their specifications at this address:\nhttp://www.w3.org/MarkUp/#recommendations

That depends on the formating.  Is it MLA?  APA?

Generally speaking, when an instructor wants something written in report form they want it in a specific FORMAT.  The most commonly accepted FORMATs are: MLA and APA.  There are any number of web sites that can offer you information about these specific (and other types) formats.  Just type in MLA or APA format into your search engine and follow the links offered.  \n\nIf you need other information regarding formatting papers you can email me:  getmeinfo@cebridge.net

parkerjr2 is right about learning a bit more stuff.\n\nYou might also consider godaddy which has templated sites, forums, shopping carts and so on. Not expensive either.\n\nNothing prevents you from having your site and forum on one host and the shopping cart on another (yahoo has a shopping cart service which many people use - you don't even realize it's yahoo until you check out).

Book:\nInteresting, the 2nd link is the Site Builder manual and doesn't say anything about it.  \n\nSwitch to Nvu--best free one I've tried.
