w3c_home

The CSS3 standards and specifications are taking shape as modules and are still evolving in various states. Within each module are some really great web design and layout tools.

A hosting partner with a lot more …

aok

Finding the right hosting partner makes all the difference in the world for me. In order to keep up with what is going on in my own world and beyond, engaging social media networks, tweeting, writing blog posts, staying current with technology, working on design and marketing projects and trying to eat, sleep and have some spare time (unsure what that is) the one thing I do not have time for is down time, due to server or hosting issues. One thing that impressed me about this host is that I called them about 11:00 pm to see how their support was; and to see if anyone actually picked up the phone … or how long they would make me wait. To my surprise, they picked up in less than two minutes and they spoke my language. I looked at the helpdesk support on their site; which is very helpful and comprehensive. I checked out their cPanel demo; which added tremendous value to the WIIFM factor. They give you $50 in Google AdWords credit, $25 in Yahoo credit, another $25 bonus credit, simple scripts, 24/7 responsive and superb support; plus a lot, lot more. Read moreRead more

Upgrade your browser!

ie6

Have you started seeing websites that seem to be full of quirks? Do you arrive at websites to be greeted with a message that tells you that you need to upgrade your browser to a better browser. Likely the message also mentions that you are using Internet Explorer 6. Do yourself a favor, and make IE6 a memory!

IE6 is a nightmare for web designers. Pages that are designed and look the same in all other A Grade browsers, will look differently on IE6, unless the website designer has used a bunch of CSS hacks to address these quirks inherent to Internet Explorer 6 and other quirks inherent in prior versions of Internet Explorer. I did have IE6 installed on one of my computers, IE7 on another and IE8 on another; along with Firefox, Safari and Chrome. However, not too long back I was using a computer with IE6 and was unable to even access a couple of sites, including my MySpace page. Unless I used a different browser I could not access those sites. If you have not experienced this yet, you probably will soon. If you have experienced it occasionally, you will likely run into the same problem more often, until your upgrade your browser. Read moreRead more
