CSS

helpful css links.

It is that time of year…when I start looking around at my web sites and figuring out what I can do to improve them. First stop: new or cool CSS techniques. I have been gathering helpful bookmarks for the last few months and thought I would pass all my top 6 CSS recent bookmarks onto […]

Hosting

web hosts, the journey continues once again.

Well, after multiple outages in the last few weeks, I think it is once again, time to move to another host. I had high hopes for Host Gator but I cannot handle too many more conversations with the tech support people because of outages. Next up: another go at a VPS account at Liquid Web. […]

CSS Javascript Web Development

kick ass calendar.

Well. A good calendar solution is always needed for business and/or personal needs. I just happened to stumble on a really cool PHP/CSS/AJAX solution: Monket Calendar. Check out the demo.

jappler dashboard widget updated.

After a few months of using my jappler.com dashboard widget, I decided I needed to update it ever so slightly to take longer post names into consideration. Download the Jappler.com Dashboard widget. Once things slow down a little, I am going to look into how to create a widget for Konfabulator so both Windows and […]
