Web – Page 21 – Something Odd!

RSS Feeds, with Firefox

Simon tried it, so did Kae, now I’m about to try it. Download Firefox and play with the live bookmarks stuff!
Later – Dougal uses Thunderbird to RSS feeds. That’d make more sense for me too. I’m install Thunderbird 0.8 as we speak!

Select Multiple Done Right – almost

Over on phpComplete, Jason has an entry and code implementing a multiple select box using a radio-boxes interface. I showed it to Kae, who did up another version which certainly looks simpler. Must examine the code later.

Ten CSS tricks you may not know

Oooh, I like this. Several good ideas in this list that I must use in the future!

Image slider or scroller with motion blur

I saw this imge gallery used on a commercial photo site a few days ago. Looks really nice. Hmm. Now I need cheap hosting to host all the photos I want to put online. I’ll probably use a tripod account or resurrect my geocities account!

When Newer is Not Better

Sometimes a redesign isn’t always better. No, I’m not a designer so comments about my great web design work will be ignored! 😛

mooncheese – DHTML and Javascript Demo

My machine’s a bit underpowered so this took a while to get going. mooncheese looks good from the small bit I watched. Be warned that you should probably not load this in your browser if you have windows/tabs open that you can’t risk losing!

CSS and Web Design Stuff

Wooh! Here’s a nice Online CSS Optimizer/Optimiser! But watch this space, Kae Veren’s working on a much better one! 🙂
This web design guide from Adam Polselli looks promising. Must delve into it later!
Here’s how to create horizontal frames using CSS. Thanks Kae for finding that for me!

These web sites are identical, or are they?

Oh yeah! Nice survey! It compares the websites of ten web designers and notes the similarities and differences between them. Lookee here, they’re almost all the same!

What is hence noteworthy is that all these designs resemble themselves very much. They use a panel of common element, and then place them at identical locations on their pages. Hence, the difference between one web site and another is then merely colors and pictures.

Broadband in Blarney!

Woohoo! I got the DSL connection going eventually! *phew* My phoneline extension cable isn’t the greatest, and I couldn’t remember the password I entered when I signed up for the 3 month free trial with IOL.
Naughty IOL – you should email the username and password when you send that nice advertising blurb after signup!
/me got a big grin on my face!
