A Blog Powered Website
What’s a blog-powered web site? Well, the LarsonCreative.net web site is one! kathy’s-art.com, themainplace.com, and villagetheatrearts.com are examples too. While they looks and act like a regular web site as seen in LarsonCreative.net blog-powered web sites take advantage of a comprehensive set of off-the-shelf, often open source tools that allow modules to be added and customized. I use design to make these interact seamlessly.
Cross- Browser Compatibility: Choosing your frame of referrence
In a wonderful world the topic of browser compatibility wouldn’t exist all would adhere to the same standard. But unfortunately all web based browsers were not created equal. The best method for choosing what browser to build to is to check your user base and build to accommodate that user base.
Browser break down
If 75% of your user base uses Internet Explorer 6 & 7, then guess what you should be ensuring that your site renders properly in IE6 and 7 (whether you like it or not).
Okay, so there might be a bit more to it than that; but not much more. You need a base browser to build off of one whose default rendering is as close to perfection as possible. This is a debatable topic in of itself; because all browsers have their flaws. However, the Mozilla based browsers (ex: Firefox) have been deemed the closest to perfection at present time again, this is debatable but they get my vote. So, you build to ensure your mark-up is correct first this means if you agree with the Mozilla browser, you make sure it works there first and then correct for the other (more flawed) browsers.
The benefits of social bookmarking
Social bookmarking websites are becoming more and more popular. Basically they allow you to save bookmarks online and Tag/Categorize them with keywords instead of saving them as bookmarks in the favorites list of your browser.My favorite Social Bookmark is
