Hi guys, As we mentioned in [Episode 3](http://rapidweavercommunity.com/podcasts/the-rapidweaver-show/3), we’re going to be covering some common web related topics on the show. The idea is that you suggest a topic you’re either struggling with or something you’d like to learn more about, and we’ll discuss it in-depth on the show. Ideas for topics: - How can I speed up my RapidWeaver site? - What’s the best way to … - Does RapidWeaver allow me to … Post your topic suggestions here and we’ll cover them on the show 🙂 ---

Thanks - and well done for these! • choosing Themes • a ‘Beginner’s corner’ • the three levels (external file, header, in-line) at which CSS operates; and how to apply custom CSS Good luck! ---

Here’s a few ideas. - How to use the inspector in Safari, Chrome and Firefox to diagnose problems. - How to do the same to find the appropriate CSS setting to change a particular aspect of an element and then how to enter it in RW. - How to manually change a CSS value in the browser to test the change. - Good file naming/ folder organisation of the project and source material. - Project and source material backup suggestions. - When to use jpg, png, svg - Good companion software for RW eg Imageoptim, Afinity Designer/Photo etc. - How to remove the formatting from a supplied word doc or similar (I paste it into text editor set to remove formatting and then recopy it before pasting it into RW) ---

Styles. I’d love to understand Styles better than I do. They seem to make more sense in RW6 but I still think I’m missing some tricks. ---

I’m hoping to get a screenshot recorded for this, as it’s quite a complicated topic and I think video would work better than trying to describe how everything works on a podcast! ---

Explain to the masses the benefits of warehousing images and why we should all be doing it! Add a bit of pizzazz by doing it in a Purple Bricks style where Ben extols the virtues of warehousing yet has a hard time explaining it to the other one, (can’t think if his name at the moment), who is stuck with his ‘drag and drop into project’ ways! ---

Sorry Ben, I got that the wrong way around. Obviously Dan (the name came to me) should be the one extolling the virtues! ---

@ben I think a podcast talking about design and best (design) practices with RapidWeaver would be beneficial. Ex. topics: Content balance (text/imagery/videos); using color schemes; when to use animations; and perhaps, **tips on creating a successful homepage**. You could invite Nick Cates, @elixir, or some of the other theme devs. Next, I think there should be an episode on SEO in RW. I’d be willing to offer tips/tricks that are most beneficial. ---

OK, I think I know what you’re talking about now… I think you talking about storing images on a server, and referencing them using the full URL, rather than dropping them into RW. Correct? ---

Since there are so many areas that we’d all like to hear covered, and since you’re only human, would a **poll** on the site (or here) be a good idea - so that you can judge those topics which respondents would find most useful? Thanks so mich for the work you put into all this! ---

@ben Correct. I find it an invaluable way to handle images on larger sites and it has many advantages. I do remember the concept being a little daunting at first (it seems so simple now) and I’d suggest it might be a topic worth covering. ---

thanks again for all the suggestions 😄 We’re deciding what we’ll cover next week, so if you have an idea for a topic let us know!
