Open Question: I am painting Xbox 360 controllers and I need ideas. Anyone?

I paint and sell Xbox 360 controllers and I have gotten bored with my current designs. I have done the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gun camouflages, college themes, and country flags. I am really just looking for new ideas. Best design, Best answer. Oh and, not to advertise or anything, but e-mail me at dowd95@gmail.com if you are interested. more

Open Question: Am I Ready To Be A Guitar Teacher...?

I have been playing guitar for about 7 to 7 and a half years now. I am completely self taught, but I know a lot more about guitar than people who have been playing longer than me. I know multiple techniques from basic alternative picking to sweeping, legatto, harmonics and different ways to achieve them, and much more. I know multiple scales as well (Blues being my personal favorite >.>). I also know a lot of music theory that I intend to teach as well so people have a deeper understanding of what they are learning. I ask because I was over at a friends house and he wanted to know how to play the King of the Hill theme song. I was able to just play through it without much trouble by ear (it's a pretty easy song XD) and I explained to him how to figure out the tonic in a song and the scale, and thats how you can get an idea of how to play a certain song. (It took about 15min to explain as I went into much deeper detail). He was then able to figure out how to play the song without my help and suggested that I go into teaching. I give my friends free lessons all the time, and I am wondering if perhaps I should take the next step and actually try to advertise to new people. Please be honest and let me know what you think. Thanks everybody :D more

Open Question: Wordpress design capabilities - is this design possible?

I'm toying with the idea of creating an affiliate marketing website/blog using wordpress. I really like some of the magazine style themes, especially the MagPress theme. What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to create half static/half blog pages within Wordpress? I know you can do both individually, but can you do both on the same page. I'll give an example of what I am looking for. I want a homepage in which the top half is "static" in that it never changes, while about midway down its sectioned off into different categories of blog posts showing new posts and featured posts. I would also like a menu bar that had about 5-7 different items (5-7 different products) and on each one of those pages have the same half static/half blog aspect as well. That way I could advertise the product at the top, then below use some type of autoblogging plugin that constantly changes the posts with new posts about the individual products, mainly so visitors can get different reviews of the products. Is this possible? more

Resolved Question: I am starting a new career in promotions. I will be promoting sports bars with theme nights.?

I will also have a dj from a radio station doing a live remote as well as cash and prizes to attract more business. My question is all of this advertising will cost alot and how would you suggest obtaining sponsors to help with the cost and in return we will advertise their name on radio, make up shirts and ect. Also, How much should I ask from the owner of the bar for doing all this or should I say I want 15% of your net sales. I really appreciate a valid response. thank you more

Resolved Question: What is it with "label" weddings?

Disney, Nascar, John Deer, Tiffany... the list goes on Do brides really think that advertising for free commercial brands will make their wedding look elegant? Is wrapping an empty box with Tiffany-like blue paper and a white ribbon as a centerpiece supposedly looks fancy? Really? What is your take on weddings that use a commercial label as their "theme"? more

Resolved Question: What do you think of my fashion design collection theme?

Im 16 and I plan on going to a fashion design school. Im somewhat putting together a collection and im just wounder what you think of my theme. Ok lets see if I can explain this. For every generation and decade there is this image that you see when you think of a girl from that time. The image is based off of what the world was like during that time. Like the roaring 20s. Or the hippies and feminists of the 60s. My theme is the new generation of woman. With the recession, american advertising is doing things a little more crazy and loopy because people are trying to find joy where there is none. There is also more diversity than ever in america. But at the same time with pop culture everyone is the same. So do you think it will catch on? The point was to see if you like my story not the collection itself. Thank you!Oh and I forgot to say that there is also going to be a darker side to the theme. With the war and (at least what I think is going to happen) america going from one country to the next basicly taking over. more

Resolved Question: What is the music used in the new "Boleyn" movie TV ad?

There is a new movie being advertised on TV now, called "The Other Boleyn Girl." On the commercial I saw tonight, they are using music that I know has been the theme on a TV show. (Which seems odd to me but...) At any rate, I can't drag the name of the TV show out of my feeble brain, although the show is either still on, or has been on in the last year or so. This will drive me crazy until I can figure it out, so please help me keep my relative sanity and tell me what it is!Thanks,Semi-crazy Katherine more

Resolved Question: Looking for someone to one on one role-play with: Also open to Forums?

I have been looking to do a one on one role-play with someone, I miss one on ones, and now that proboards hasn't been that great with their advertising I can't ever find a good forum now. I do most things like Vampires, Master/Slave, Harry Potter(post books), Percy Jackson(post books), several other modern themes, like High School, Odd Pairings, etc. You can e-mail me at jessjcrowell@yahoo.com or MSN at jessixdarkpoet@live.com do not email the live account though please. more

Voting Question: music nowadays sucks, because MANY young people music taste nowadays sucks?

and before I go any further, I just want to clarify that I'm born in 1982 (which makes me still of today's young/Gen Y generation,...not some typical 'old-gen-hates-new-gen' cliched story). I know that this has been said over & over again that it's almost a cliche, but seriously, as a big music lover and a musician myself, I feel really really sad & angry for the current state of *MAINSTREAM* music nowadays (note: i am not saying ALL, just those big MAJOR hits that's played in radio & MTV nowadays), that everytime I turn on the radio or MTV or V channel nowadays, it's like I just want to destroy my radio & TV forever, because I can't stand how music nowadays just basically feels very 'dry', lack emotions, very shallow lyrics and theme, and the same boring **** repeated from artist to artist. this alone is already sad. but what makes me even sadder, is of how there are still MANY many people (particularly teens, I notice) that said of how this & this major artist have a TALENT, and a HUGE one!......uhh, no it's not. it's sadly just a "clever marketing & advertising strategy" coupled with being "commercial" & having all about pretty looks & body (and showing cleavage & boobs for female). what happened to the great, very emotional, and actually INNOVATIVE music, and I'm talking about MAINSTREAM music, such as: - Beatles : Eleanor Rigby (still damn genius song, IMO) - Carpenters' heartfelt emotional songs & *meaningful* lyrics that you CAN actually relate, such as Yesterday Once More, Rainbow Connection, Leave Yesterday Behind - Queen : Show Must Go On (I literally shiver everytime I hear this, even still now!) and many many other good *MAINSTREAM* music?? - and in the rock realm itself, all those REAL-innovative (not the misinterpred "fake innovative") rock music such as Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, Guns N Roses' kick-ass ending in song November Rain, Deep Purple's Sweet Child in Time, Burn, etc - even funky, soul music such as in the movie Sister Act (just watched it yesterday) were still DAMN GOOD compared to the crappy repetitive r&b and sh*tty blink-blink shallow hip-hop music nowadays! (that again, misplacedly labeled as "talented"! uggghh!) instead, nowadays for the *MAINSTREAM* music played in radio and TV, and labeled as "talented, gorgeous" by these young teens, we got Lady Gaga feat Beyonce with mediocre, 'dry' music, then showing all their body and by repeating meaningless "e e e e e e e" phrases and lack heartfelt LYRICS! .....and don't even get me started on talking about Ke$$$$hhhhaa & Bieberrr! I mean seriously,..as cliche & overly-repeated question this certainly is, but I'm there's a REAL POINT in people asking this question: what the hell is wrong with music nowadays? and where is it heading? and thus my main question: is it *only* music nowadays that sucks,..or is it because today's MAINSTREAM young teens & people are part to blame, because there're still a LOT lot of them, fact of the matter, still like it, even label them as "talented" ??? and a BIG kudos will be added, if you can actually tell me, how to change this hopeless situation we're in? thanks, and please forgive my frustration! PS: again I'm not saying ALL music today sucks. it's the major, MAINSTREAM music that's currently "popular" and played over & over again in music & radio, that so many people nowadays sadly still think they're "talented", and that's WHY they're POPULAR/famous! ouch, big one! more

Voting Question: If advertised as Open Source, do I need to provide a visible link back to the creator?

I want to start creating websites based on WordPress, I have seen it done where the WordPress link isn't featured on the site but I don't know where to start in terms of the design, as I do not want I blog, I simply want it as a CMS. This site uses WordPress, and this is the kind of thing I wanting to re-create: http://www.legalcostconsultancy.co.uk/ http://themehybrid.com/themes/hybrid is a basic theme for me to edit. On the site, it says "Like WordPress, this theme is completely free and open source. You can use it for your client work or for a blog about your grandchildren. It is continuously being developed and has a community growing around it." As it is advertised as 'Open Source', does this mean I can remove all credits from it once I change it slightly, and the same for WordPress?Thank you for the help so far, I am 16 and don't really fully understand all the licensing Jargon, if somebody could outline the key point i must follow I would be very appreciative! :D more

Voting Question: I plan on making my own social networking site; Can anyone help me?

I'm not very experienced with databases and servers, but I'm experienced with computers and I learn quickly; can someone first give me a basic outline of what I'll need to do and learn? I've planned to make this something like vampirefreaks.com, but more cyber-culture oriented, and less lenient on preachers and trolls; Therefore more friendly to those who want to be there. I'm sure you'll all agree, Vampirefreaks has slowly rotted; It happens to communities. Because it's been around for a long time, and became very popular, it's slowly fell. I plan on refreshing the community with my own new site; Which will hopefully have a longer life with new features and new rules [though not too many rules]. I'm on a fairly low budget, but flexible, and I don't plan on making a career out of this; It's gonna be free, and I'll either have a donate button, premium features [I'm not too keen on premium features though; it's unfair on people who can't pay], or I'll advertise things on this site that will make me money [such as things I'm selling, games I'm making, etc]. Obviously I plan on this being long-lived. What I'm looking for is pretty much anyone who can help, but if you want to be specific I'd really appreciate help with; Layout/theme creation, scripting/programming, graphics, advertising [later on], and whatever else I'm gonna need which I don't know yet. Though even if you're just a random surfer on the net who happens to have found this & is interested, all help is welcome; even just ideas.Thanks everyone, but I'm not looking for a pre-made service like Buddypress ; While they are easy, they don't give me the degree of control I'd like to have. Not to mention; If I create it from scratch, all I really need to pay for is hosting. Thanks Nishant too but I've been to W3schools; I know a good bit about making a website but a social networking site is totally different; Apart from the site itself, you need to create the profile system, etc, which is my problem; I have no idea where to start on that. more

Resolved Question: Band Fundraiser - are these prices acceptable?

I am doing fundraising for a high school marching band. One of the things that I am doing is sending out letters and offering different levels that local business owners and community can sponsor the band. With each 'level' there is more offered with the biggest focus on the band advertising for the business. I set the levels with the mindset that the economy is not the greatest and hopefully each business will be able to contribute in some way.

Resolved Question: Stock Photography questions?

Hello I'm on a stock photography website and I've found some images that I'm interested in downloading. Not for advertising, but to use them for a theme on my computer. Anyways, I'm not interested in buying the image, so is there a way that I can download the full size image without paying?? Also, just a quick question. Not that I would do this, but if someone were to right click on an image and download it, would the company have any way of finding out who's responsible for downloading the image?? I'm just curious how they protect their images from being stolen. My last question is, on the website, there is an option that says "download comping image". What does "comping" mean exactly??

I am in an art class where I have to create "The Ultimate Art Exhibit". We have to write a two page essay about the exhibit and include 5 images of the most important works of art in the exhibit. I've tried calling a few art galleries to see how they fund an exhibit but it is sunday so everything is closed. I think if i have a better idea of what an art exhibit is i could figure it out.

Resolved Question: Website Advertising, how?

Hey all, My website http://ukcoasters.com currently has adverts on it from Google Adsense. As you can guess from the link it is a website about rollercoasters. At the moment I'm getting adverts from all sorts of things. Is there a way to make Adsense generate ads ONLY about theme parks? Or, another idea, is it possible to ask the theme parks e.g. Thorpe Park, Alton Towers if they want me to advertise for them and if they have any ads for me to display? Its mainly because it looks horrible when there are ads saying do you want to buy this diamond ring when the whole site is about rollercoasters and theme parks. more

Resolved Question: You know you went through the 2000's when..?

9/11. The RECESSION. You say and laugh at "That's what she said!" jokes. You have a Facebook because that's how you keep in touch with everyone. Everyone has a cellphone. LOL Sarah Palin (Future: WTF happened to that chick who ran for republican VP that time...didn't she have that pregnant daughter that she lied about and stuff?...yeah I think so!) You were there that week in June '09 when celebrity deaths kept happening, coincidentally. RIP Michael Jackson, Farrah Faucet, and Billy Mays. You were SO mad when Pluto wasn't a planet anymore. You remember when the gas was $1.50 a gallon, then when it was $4.00 a gallon, then when it was $1.50 again. Before swine flu, there was something called mad cow disease and the avian flu back in the early '00s. Because of that, you couldn't eat beef or chicken for weeks. You remember the VA Tech shootings and heightened school security. SWINE FLU!!!!! You might have heard Michael Jackson's music from the past, but not once in your youth can you recall him performing. You can, however, list a few lawsuits involving this very famous man. You were absolutely DEVASTATED when the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin died. You sided with Rihanna in the Chris Brown/Rihanna scandal of '09. You saw Apple turn out hand held computers, know as iPhones and iTouches. You've thought, "That's what s/he said" after hearing iTouch. You remember when McDonalds changed their slogan from "Put a smile on" to "bada-ba-ba-baa I'm lovin' it". OBAMA!!!! You saw more of celebrity reproductive parts than you ever wanted to. Urban Dictionary is more useful to you than Oxford or Merriam-Webster. You were either obsessed or disgusted with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. "Don't taze me bro!" You miss All That, and the good morning TV. Google, Facebook, and Wiki are verbs, and Google is in the dictionary as a verb! You've seen Superbad more than once. You know the obsession over Edward Cullen. You hear too many girls (and the occasional boy) drooling over him every day. You also remember when the theme "vampires" did not imply the theme "glitter-sexy" in literature. Everyone you know understands the basics of 1337. You remember the "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Superbowl. "Can you play guitar?" You ask. "Oh my GOD! I LOVE Guitar Hero!!" Someone answers. You've been in a lecture where 5 people are texting, 3 people are on computers or something on the internet, and most people are listening to an iPod. People worry that their relationships will or will not become "Facebook official". You remember when some idiot took a shitty form of a boot, stuffed it with sheep wool, and somehow its acceptable to wear those with miniskirts in the middle of summer. You regularly say "Ownd!" or "Fail!" You wonder how a clothing store could possibly sell a shirt for $50 (Hollister/American Eagle/Abercrombie/Aeropostale) when all it does is advertise their store in big letters. You've found your parents unable to figure out how to use your phone. Amandamandamandamandamanda shoooooooooooooow Britney Spears Shaved. Her head. However, one Google image search, and you can see all that she shaved. It's only official if it's on Facebook. Somehow hip-hop and pop merged together and you didn't notice. Supersize Me grossed you out, but you still managed to eat that double quarter-pounder the next weekend. Today, I went on fmylife.com and saw that my latest upsetting life experience wasn't on the website. FML. Today I saw your mom walking down the street walking your dog. I thought a your mom joke but didn't say it. MLIA. (MLIA got pretty good!) "George Bush doesn't care about black people."-Kanye West "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos OF ALL TIME, OF ALL TIME!" -Kanye West (2009 VMAs) And what else? add to it :D i know. it's a horrible decade =( i miss the 90's <3 more

Resolved Question: Am I heading into copyright infringement issues with my blog concept of using advertising material?

Please I need help with another of these copyright infringement issues with the use of images in blogs. I wish I could make up my own mind, only the more I read about it, the more I am confused. Not to mention I am bias of course. I have in mind to create a blog where I would use vintage advertising prints from a very specific industry to illustrate (keyword here?!) my posts. The themes of the posts will not be in any way focusing on the brands. The goal will not be to bash that industry, even though it is a controversial one. Yet these ads, through their pop culture and aesthetic value, would undoubtedly be central to the (potential) success of my blog. Ex: for a post on the concept of peak oil, I would have a copy of a 1953 ad for brand X featuring a guy whose car broke down and another one of brand Y featuring oil rig workers. Note: I am not, in any way, discussing brand X or Y. But in all honesty some posts may refer to the specific image at hand, for example, for satirical purposes, or to discuss graphic design issues. Some other details you may want to take into consideration: - some of these brands are still in business, others not. - this blog may be monetize in the future, depending on the audience it attracts. - I don't think I would want to spend the time begging for written permissions. Bottom line, am I safe (and the fair use doctrine is giving me some hope) or am I walking on very, very thin ice and heading into trouble? Would blurring the brands, even though I would rather not, help in any way? Thanks in advance for all answers, both short ones and long ones. more

Resolved Question: Can the owner of the Sun and Fox talk credibly about freedom of press?

Rupert Murdoch: Gulf states should open up to foreign media Guardian Unlimited, March 10, 2010 Rupert Murdoch called on Gulf states to open up their markets to global competition from companies such as his own News Corporation by cutting regulation and ending censorship. In a keynote speech expounding the value of media content for its ability to contribute to global economic growth at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Media Summit, Murdoch said light-touch regulation would help the oil-rich Arab city state build an effective creative industry. "A creative sector flourishes best in societies where governments intervene with a light hand," he told an audience of 550 delegates at the inaugural summit. Echoing a theme that is likely to be repeated at other events during the two-day summit, Murdoch promoted the idea of paying for content in a digital age in which much is expected to be free. "In many parts of the world, we are finding that the best way to finance quality content is by having a balance of advertising and subscription revenue," he said. Murdoch, the owner of the Times and the Sun in the UK as well as the Wall Street Journal, New York Post and Fox in the US, also made a call for press freedom in a country criticised by others for its censorship. more

Resolved Question: Why are images of women and womanhood such a universal theme in advertising?

You should - Explore the ways in which women can be presented, and how these presentations can be harnessed to market a range of products - Compare the way in which different genders perceive women and womanhood - Do you feel that such a universal focus is fundamentally exploitative and damaging? ***Any help you can give would be brilliant guys.

Resolved Question: Do you think that girls in the USA?

Okay, so I'm writing a compare and contrast essay about the articles by Kilbourne and Morgan.

Resolved Question: Extreme wordpress modification.?

To all the experts out there, I am a wordpress/coding noob, but I have a couple of friends who can help me out if I ask them for something specific. I am considering changing my website to html because of the google ranking/crawling and after reading a lot of online articles I was impressed with wordpress' reputation. The top of my website (where the menu is) is very similar to the Mother advertising website (http://www.mothergrapevine.com). Can you point me out to where I can find customizable themes and accessible (for a noob) tips that can give me a step-by-step guide to how I can start off with my customization? Remember I have no problems with designing the layout and all of that, but when it comes to programming and web design, I have to read the guideline to INSTALL wordpress, so no rough stuff. more

Resolved Question: What's the best way to stylize a ComicPress installation for my webcomic?

I am attempting to revolutionize the Internet (with a revolutionary new webcomic) and have stumbled into a most unfortunate barrier. Apparently "ComicPress" is not so plug-and-play, user-friendly, easy-to-use as it is advertised to be. Upon installing ComicPress (an arduous task I shan't bore you with the details of) I have discovered that I lack the knowledge to customize it beyond the predetermined themes. Perhaps I have missed the option available for such a task. Regardless, I require help, and have come to Yahoo! Answers in hopes of receiving at least some insight into this conundrum of coding. Site (for reference): http://teh1337sauce.net/I think I should be able to style a ComicPress install without having to learn an entirely new language. That's ridiculous. Millions of people have websites, and I doubt all of them are expert programmers. more
