Well for your type of web sites I would say they ideally function as dynamic sites and so that would involve a database back end/s (MySql and php scripts is the way I go on any dynamic sites I do for myself or friends who know how to manipulate me . Please note: I am not looking for any web design or development work just in case someone accuses me of playing the advertising card... I am not interested). This is not really the sort of thing you learn getting someone to come to your house and 'teach you' for an hour or two a day... unless you are prepared to depend on a 'lot' of 'long' lessons!!! You will need to learn to use a couple of different programs along with some html, a lot of php, the basics of creating user friendly web sites and logical design layout, then how to integrate it all together and understand the whole * security * side of doing what you are doing. Not to forget SEO which I would expect to be fairy important with your type of web sites. PHP, html and CSS are on going learning experiances 'no matter how much you know about them or your web building application can do' and if over 25 will probably make you go bald rapidly These are the type of sites where web developers generally means web developers and not people who feel the need to tell everyone they have a couple of flashy web site building apps and call themselves web developers.

If I where you and the business was making money 'I guess your sites are' I would give someone 'or more' some full time employment working from my 'your' office... maybe not what you had hoped for but that is how I would see it going forward and you can then also have more control over getting what you want.

HTH

I don't think ANYONE got that!

I must come clean - I really need to know, and I think I represent others here when I ask this really important research question.

How the blazes do you land a job in the porn industry?

The popup works perfectly in Firefox. Just hover your mouse over the photo.

Have you read anything recent on semantic structure?

The "non-printing" class means that the element doesn't appear if the page is printed. (You might have noticed that there are 3 style sheets, in line with current good practice.)

The semantic manning of h2s (the apostrophe is in your post is incorrect) is "secondary header". If I don't use them on a specific site, that is because there are no secondary headers.

NOTHING on this site is hidden from differently abled users. If you have any software to check this, DO. I worked for years on Web sites where differently abled users were the main visitors, and I never forget what I have learnt.

I could go on…

If this is your idea of “constructive criticism", wow!

CIA check out sites like this, they may be interested.

Not on the page I looked at. FF follows the standard and only shows the tooltip for the additional text paramater 'title'

The class was applied to an h3 to create a bulletted list. My point was that you would be better using a ul because that's what they're for!
Here's the most important thing. Here's the third most important thing. There is no second most important thing... My (possibly incorrect) logic would assume three follows two.
Well, if you put an address in a paragraph, and stick it at the bottom of the page, then it's harder to find that if you put it inside an address element, which is there for that very role. Hidden is maybe too strong - hard to find then.
Wasn't trying to start a flame war... just open up a discussion. For one thing, it is refreshing to see that you produce sites that are standards compliant. But for others on this forum, they now know:

1. Unordered lists are their friends
2. Addresses have their own special place in HTML which may be important when Google comes calling
3. It's sometimes good to think about headings in a logical order

...now back to the pornography...

Econ,
I have little use for what I'm learning, it's just a hobby to pass the time and inform myself a little. (I also have someone teaching me magic tricks, and yet someone else, Spanish cooking!).

Carter71 (great movie! BTW),
There are no jobs to be landed (apart from modeling). For a web guy, simply look at the very bottom of any/most adult sites and you'll find a tiny link: "Webmasters". This'll take you through to their affiliate program. Sign-up, send traffic that coverts to memberships = $$$. Or not. It's now quite a different game from 10 years ago (when I started). Then they used to say that "Content is King". But now it's "Traffic is King". Hence the need for acres of free sites, blogs, splogs, fake Myspace/Facebook/Twitter accounts etc. It's tough as there are 1000's of other webmasters searching out those same clicks as you. If you can think "outta the box" then you have a chance. The content is given free (but the same that all your competition is using) and server costs are cheap.
Of course you can do as I do, make and promote your own sites. Example. Micro-niche....lets say...blonde girls licking ashtrays (don't ask!). Now are there 1000 men in the WORLD with internet access who might pay $19 per/month to see such stuffs? Maybe. Shoot some content, design simple sight, get the billing sorted, go live and with some hard work you could see $19,000 per/month. Minus server and model costs....$17,000 easy-peezy. Or not.
A more mainstream example. Some time back that young and utterly useless Paris Hilton offed to jail. Just before I bought lots of related URL's and shot a slightly risque video with a look-a-like. Uploaded everywhere. Lots of links to sell stuffs for that demographic (including the famous video that started it all). Result: around $2,000 per/month profit.
I would suggest starting with a simple blog (I like Wordpress, but each to his own). This blog will teach you everything about how to market "Adult" and also teach you a lot about yourself. Things like will-power, and perseverance and order. I personally know someone with over 150 blogs, with each one bringing in aound $1.5 per day. The old rinse and repeat!

Absolutely fascinating stuff!

Thankfully the web industry is going from strength to strength so I doubt I'd find the time for such an honerable activity I do know several people that are getting good money from SEO and social networking work, so can see where you're coming from. The only businesses that seem to be suffering even in this 'recession' we're supposedly in are the traditional design agencies - I know because they keep calling me up asking for work!!

Bondes and ashtrays...I'll get me card...

I doubt if many people subscribed to this thread are interested in all the details of carter71's critique—about just one of the Web sites I have designed. I am of course delighted to find another person who also cares about standards, and if carter71 wants to carry on the conversation, perhaps he could send me a private message.

There is one point that may be of general interest, however. Just about everyone uses headers—h1s, h2s, h3s, etc.—on their Web sites. To carter71 I would say. A header is not "an important thing" or even a signpost to an important thing. It's a header.

If I were setting Claud Cockburn's famous imaginary news story, I would make Small earthquake in Chile an h1, and Not many dead an h3, since it's a subhead. I would use h2s to head major sections of a complex page, as appropriate.

For what it's worth, I use h2s on most of my sites, where they are fulfilling what I see as their function. I presumably found no need for them on this one (quite small) site. (I haven't checked, but take carter71's word for it.)

Oh dear !

I had an interview for a PHP role in Spain some months back .... I only discovered at interview that the work was all PORN. Problem is for any serious web developer (like myself) how can one move on from such a role especially when it is essential to add links to recent projects on your cv ...

From a technological perspective porn sites are challenging to maintain since the web server gets massive hit counts and we start thinking about things like 'hardening apache', server redundancy and of course security issues,

Look I have asked nicely before have I not .

I doubt many of are really that interested in the one upmanship sparring taking place on here, with refences to your livelyhoods, so lets end it there please as its bordering on breaking posting rules. If you want to continue by pm then thats fine but unless you have anything relevant to the OP's request, which is now doubtful, please let it rest

Thank you

Why would porn surprise any of us? We had our own porn king as a mod last year!

who was that then?

Think of the Mods we had last year and google one of their names..... and be prepared.

You met him!
