    Here's a thread for the web designer and developer bronies. I'm one myself, working on a few projects such as my own website and a development area in php.

    Are you a web designer or developer? What projects have you done? What programming languages do you know?

    On your own website, the icons block the text. If anything, you should've made it into two separate pieces instead of the icons overlapping the text. And they wouldn't move, either. Much simpler on a PC that can barely keep up Everypony Radio.

    Well, I have made a webcomic, which I'm not going to post here because I was an idiot back then, but the design isn't half-bad and I might reuse it later.

    What programming languages do I know? A bit of CSS, and a bit of HTML, and a lot of other languages that have nothing to do with web design (i.e. VB.NET)

    The website was designed for a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768. I've had a few complaints about overlapping, but I'm not sure how to overcome it whilst keeping the current design.

    I'm going to be a pain in the ass and be technical by saying CSS and HTML are not programming languages, they are markup languages. VB.NET, php, Java, etc. are programming languages. I guess non-web languages can be covered by my question ;)

    @Vinyl - what browser are you running?
    I'm using Firefox and everything shows up fine for me with no overlapping, and that's fairly weird seeing as Firefox is the one with a funky glitch in it that causes some things to wrong (tables I think it is) and I'm pretty sure you're not using IE (the glitchfest that's only legitimate use is downloading other browsers).

    Running Firefox 6 (and tried it on my Wii) and got this.

    Yes that occurs because of the low viewport resolution. I'll see what I can do about supporting lower resolutions, although it wont be easy.

    Also --- Firefox 6? God I hate this new Firefox release set up.

    You should use percentage width and height attributes to cater to different resolutions.

    I know very little HTML, markup or scripting languages but I know enough about the theory to do things via research and integration.

    Call it uncanny :p

    I use percentage widths. What's screwing up the layout at small resolutions is the sidebar, which is fixed to the right side of the viewport. It covers the body text at low resolutions.

    Edit: Grey Nightmare, I might aswell post it here, if you need any assistance with coding or design for Everypony, I'm always free to lend a hand.
