The Truth About HTML5

There has been a lot of hype around HTML5 in recent months. I have heard individuals singing the praises of it without really knowing what it is. First HTML5 is not the end all for Flash and Javascript. Both mediums still have their appropriate uses and will continue to live on. Second HTML5 still a little "half-baked". There is not a single browser that supports all of the new features in HTML5. It isn't expected to be completed until 2014. Third HTML5 is not an all new programming langu... read more!

The Proper Use of img and background-image Property

There seems to be confusion among web designers when to use the img tag vs the CSS background-image property. Both tags are frequently used improperly. Usually this isn't revealed until it comes time to give the site a facelift or update photos. Really it isn't difficult to keep your images inline. Read below for a couple helpful tips.

Internet at the Speed of Touch

Mobile computing is hotter than ever right now. Touch screens have become a staple of many people's lives. Many people are migrating away from the traditional desktop or laptop computers in favor of using these devices as their primary source for web content. As web designers we must keep this growing segment of the population in mind when we design and build websites.

Many of us are still stuck supporting IE6 and can't imagine trying to code with new standards that are iffy in even the most recent browsers. Wide support is coming, though it may take a bit of time yet. On the bright side there are people out there with the goal of making CSS3 usable right now. The ... read more!

There is good reason the web has gone this direction. Sans-serif fonts are very professional, they render clean in Windows and Mac, and they have a modern feel.

Redirect your Site to www

This week I've learned a nifty little trick having to do with .htaccess and site redirection. I'm sure you know that you can reach a web site with the normal www. or you can leave it off. The end result is no different to you. sBut it is to Google. The search engines considers each address version a different site, and there's a lot of duplicate content there. .htaccess can force your site to always redirect to www. Toss this little bit of code: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-do... read more!
