I am trying to make my website pages full width but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with my specific shopify theme, Mr. Parker. I think I have to make changes to the stylesheet.css.liquid, but I am struggling to figure it out. Is there a way to make my pages full width in the Mr. Parker theme?
I am a newbie and trying to do this on my own with very little background in this area. Any help is appreciated.

Hard way:
go learn css , html , js stuff to the end.
Easy way:
i don't know these stuff you said but i know pure CSS and HTML, easy way is to inspect element the page by chrome and check the biggest part of the page, like the <body> tag, then check the style tab and see what is the most top CSS file it's affecting from. change the file and you are ok!
Attention: Front-end developing is a huge field, elements on the page may affect from JavaScript then it could be so much hard for you to change things.
btw its very hard to edit responsive websites for the newbies, cause the elements may affect from multiple lines and codes and by many actions.

I have been researching this for a few hours and I feel that I can't decide on what is right or wrong. This was asked before on Stackoverflow, but a couple of years ago so I thought I could ask again. I want to include H1 tags on my pages but hide them, because I have graphic in my banner, but I was taught to use an H1 tag for accessibility reasons.
I discovered that this can be considered SEO spamming and can get a site blacklisted, I do not want this. It was also discovered that using H1 tags can greatly increase the sites SEO when using relative headers.
So I want to use them and hide them, for two reasons, but avoid Google blacklisting my site, is there a standard accepted method to doing this, or will I need to choose between risking blacklisting and helping those with visual disabilities a better user experience?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
The simplest method is just to include the image with an alt attribute in the h1:
<h1><img src="banner.png" alt="my banner text" /></h1>
And you can be assured that you won't be penalized for that. I have not seen any definitive information that doing image replacement will result in a higher ranking than using alt properly. Like most SEO lore, there is very little data. That said, as long as you are not trying to game the search engines and present something different to the user and the search engine, it's unlikely you'll be penalized for using image replacement.
If you do do image replacement, be sure to position the text off-screen by using absolute positioning or negative margins rather than display: none or visibility: hidden so that screen reader users can access the content.
You're not improving accessibility if you hide headings.
If you do so with display: none; or visibility:hidden;, it's as if you never added them in the first place: they won't be read by screen readers and obviously won't be displayed if CSS are enabled.
If you do so with negative text-indent or left absolute positioning, only blind people will read them but not partially-sighted people that don't use any screen reader, and they're way more than blind people (perhaps 10 times).
i have a question about web designing.
there are some ways for design.
CSS or Photoshop.
cSS is clear, my question is not about CSS, but about Photoshop design.
For example this
After design in photoshop when you save the work it makes sllices and converts your template to table cells and keeps each part of the picture in that cells..
but i know that nowdaystables are not usefull for web design, everybody use div and css..
so can u tell me how to export or how to use photoshop to design web pages with div.
I would not use Photoshop for anything other than to create a screenshot-type of graphic that is close to what you are aiming to get to with your web page(s).
For the actual design, start by laying out all of the content in HTML (no CSS). Once all of the content is in there, then you can style the elements to get to the look you want. When styling, the only changes you should be making to the HTML should be to put in IDs and classes to hook your CSS onto. Adding style-oriented elements like <div> and <span> is OK, but should be limited.
Doing the design in this way ensures that you will have a more accessible site, increases the likelyhood of having a more compact site, and will also increase your appeal to search engines.

Photoshop software is mainly used for creating layout designs (psd's).
Now a day's everybody using table less designs using div's, almost 80% of HTML pages creating using styles and css only in few areas we have to use graphics (logos, headings with different fonts, images like photography etc) which is not manageable with style and css in that cases we have to work in Photoshop and have to do save for web format as jpeg or png image formats then we have to use this images in html pages with using style sheets.
and mainly div based designs will work with supporting of style sheets everything the layout look and feel we will control with css styles and calling that css as a class names from div's.
Hope this answer will help you a bit.
Thanks
Photoshop is an application for manipulating imagery but it's also packed with tools for building graphics from scratch.In order to explore graphic design within a browser it was only logical to reach for Photoshop, create your visuals, save them as images and use them within a web page.
On my website, I have a booking widget at the top of each page to allow visitors to enter our booking engine. The code behind it uses quite a bit of HTML, pushing down the content on each page in the source. In an attempt to better my SEO, I decided to have the code placed in a DIV tag at the bottom of the page, and, when the DOM is ready, I use JQuery to physically move the DIV from the bottom of the DOM to the top where it needs to be to render correctly.
My question is if this is really helping SEO? Does Google look at the DOM/Source after all Javascript has run, or before? Does moving these few hundred lines of HTML to the bottom of the HTML source gain me any advantage?
Spiders do not process javascript. So any content that appears/moves or is created by javascript will appear as if it hasn't been moved or created at all.
I'd be really surprised if web crawlers execute the scripts on the page. They probably scan the raw response.
That doesnot have any effect on the SEO.
But placing the javascript at the bottom will defnitely help you to load the webpages faster.
There is no harm for SEO as well, you can defnitely proceed with your approach
There is a distinction between javascript executed on load versus during the user session. The on-load javascript is more times than not indexed by google. The dynamic content or alterations on the client side are not well indexed.
So, it can't be ignored.
I have setup some dropdown menus allowing users to find pages on my website by selecting options across multiple dropdowns:
eg. Color of Car, Year
This would generate a link like: mysite.xyz/blue/2010/
The only problem is, because this link is dynamically assembled with Javascript, I've also had to assemble each possible combination from the dropdowns into a list like:
<noscript>
No javascript enabled? Here are all the links:
<a href='mysite.xyz/blue/2009/'>mysite.xyz/blue/2009/</a>
<a href='mysite.xyz/blue/2010/'>mysite.xyz/blue/2010/</a>
<a href='mysite.xyz/red/2009/'>mysite.xyz/red/2009/</a>
<a href='mysite.xyz/red/2010/'>mysite.xyz/red/2010/</a>
</noscript>
My question is, if I put these in a tag like this, will I be penalized or anything by search engines such as Google? I've already been doing so for some navigational stuff which required offsets etc. However, now I would be listing a whole list of links here too. I want to provide them here, moreso so that google can actually index my pages - but for those without javascript, they can still navigate too.
Your thoughts? Also.. even though I have some links that appear to have been indexed, I AM NOT 100% SURE, which is why I'm asking :P
If the noscript code represents an alternative to the javascript code, then it should be fine I think, but Google does try to spot fishy seo and may penalize, so it's better to avoid doing this when possible.
In your case, consider spending some time making a drop down menu such that you can have the links on the page in a list item and use javascript + css to simulate a drop down menu, this way you will not need to use the noscript tag.
A decade ago, I made my website using image links for internal navigation (this at a time when CSS was brand-new and HTML4 Transitional was normal). I then added text navigation links at the bottom of the page.
I believe this (and your idea) is a common enough technique that, as long as you really aren't trying to do something sketchy, Google et al should interpret correctly.
I think the noscript tag is irrelevant, but having a giant list of links links may make their algorithms think you're doing some fishy SEO. Like having a wall of keywords.
Google (or whoever) would index these, and as long as you're not going overboard with a bunch of BS links I don't see a problem. Though from an SEO standpoint, it's not good to create menus from javascript or flash. I might look for an alternative that uses anchor tags with some CSS to dress it up.
I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page:

Here is an example of what the scrolling SWF text box will be like:

Is this possible? Any help would be absolutely amazing!
You can use URLLoader to load the page as text. I'm not sure of the best way to parse it though.
Maybe you can try looking for the CSS tag that is being used for the text in question and then grabbing the text in between those tags? There might be better ways to do this though.
Note, you can update values to the htmlText property of a text box, which will allow Flex to maintain some of the styles specified from the loaded page.
