Here's a little about me:
My name is Kyle Galbraith, I'm 31, I live in Winnipeg Manitoba and I enjoy design. I have a full time job in the telecommunications business which pays decent so I won't leave and do what I really like, web design, and as a result designing is just something i do in my spare time. Most of my abilities for HTML and CSS are self taught though I have taken advanced c+ and micro controller programming through college and gain some of my coding knowledge through that. I also work programing various types of telephone switches for my regular job so coding seems to come naturally to me. When I'm not working my primary job I'm designing something; architectural drawings of furniture or various structures, testing my limits with graphic designs, or developing a web layout for friends, family or just for fun.
I code in W3C compliant xhtml and CSS. I am also experimenting with Flash, JavaScript and PHP. If you would like to talk to me about a project that you have in mind, or you have an opportunity you would like to present to me, please contact me by e-mail at:
Otherwise feel free to browse my web portfolio and let me know what you think.

yes

Not for you, you have to live with your mistakes.
Thanks again for providing such a great forum to discus interesting topics..
whats the main difference between xhtml and html
XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML.
what do you mean by stricter?
Elements must be properly nested, always be closed, must be in lowercase and must have one root element.
I code in this fashion due to number of different browsers available to browse the internet. If I didn’t, different browser would interpret my coding wrongly and my page would look like a mess on some browsers an nice on others.
question 2. is there a difference between java and php and if so what is it
Yes lots!
I’m still trying to learn PHP but I think the main difference is that PHP is run on the server side rather then from your browser. People can turn off Java but as far as i know you can’t turn off PHP because the server you are viewing the web page from in doing all the work.
what type of web server do you run.
Linux server running Apache 2.2.11
What type of advice do you give in creating your own web server. ie examples of costs, time involved and experience needed.
The cost depends on what you need. Unless you are hosing a ton of sites you are probably best at purchasing a hosting plan from a reseller. That way you don’t have to worry about backing up your server or having redundancy. Once you are established then you may want to go your own hosting route. I’m sure you could also get up and running by picking up an old junker server for a few bucks slapping on some Apache open source software pay your internet service provider for a static IP address and be up and running in less than a day for around minimal dollars, but you better know what your doing if you go that route.
do you have any “how to” on setting up a web server.
No I don’t.
what do you charge for web hosting services.
Depends what you need and what the current hosting rates are going for.
how about 20 gigs of web space and e-mail.
I don’t usually re-sell my server space, I provide space for the customers that i create web pages for, or if they wish i find them space to use elsewhere. If you wish you can contact me by e-mail and we can work something out. I can’t post price on my blog due to fluctuating market prices.
do you have a price list for services?
Contact me for a price list.
I just found $XX.XX price on YYY.com can you match or beat that price.
maybe if the price is $XXX.XX that could be possible, however people charge based on their design capabilities so if site yyy.com is selling a design for $XX.XX it’s like going to a Lexus dealership and saying the Chevy has the same colour car as your Lexus, will you match the price?
Thank you for providing a good professional site. I will continue to use you site for all my web needs.
Thank you
