Making Your Images Show Up
Fri, 18 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
I've been working with beginning web developers for many years now, and the most common question I get is how to get images to display correctly. Images are challenging for the beginning web developer because they have to understand how web servers work (a little) and how directory systems differ on their home machine and their web server.
If you still are having trouble, you should consider signing up for my Free HTML class.

HTML5 Design Gallery - BeerBlogging
Wed, 16 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
Be sure to mouse near the top of the “beer” to see what happens. But if you're using Internet Explorer, you'll need to check it out in a different browser. All versions of IE are sent to their Feedburner page instead. There are some interesting choices for the sectioning tags in this document. For example, the dates in the posts are listed as ASIDE and they might better be defined as DATA elements with machine readable dates in an attribute. The images are also enclosed in a SECTION element which appears to be there primarily for the CSS styles—he should use a DIV instead. But it is a fun site design.

Don't Click the Shiny, Red, Candy-like Button—CSS3 Buttons
Tue, 15 May 2012 13:18:00 -0400
Buttons are a fun feature of web pages, but up until just recently, if you wanted your buttons to have any interesting features at all, you needed to use images. In fact, if you search the web for ”web buttons” you will find hundreds if not thousands of examples of buttons you can use for your web pages. But now, with CSS3 you can create buttons that have cool effects but don't use any images at all.
Read the full article to learn how: CSS3 Buttons (Note: there are four pages to the article, and page two shows you how to create the above buttons.)

Did you know you can validate for accessibility?
Fri, 11 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
Most web designers, when they work on websites think very little about how accessibile the site is. But this is an important part of web design. Accessible pages don't have to be ugly or boring. In fact, great design takes that into account and accounts for as many custoemrs as possible. I think making accessible sites makes sense, as why drive away customers if you don't have to? And it's easier than you think. By validating your pages, you can find out what problems your site might have.

Web Design Inspiration - Luxor Mag
Wed, 09 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
This is a Flash website and as such is very interactive and pretty. But of course if you're on an iPad you get an obnoxious message telling you to get an Android tablet, because Flash doesn't work on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod). There are so many reasons why displaying that kind of message is a bad idea. But suggesting that someone who has already spent several hundred dollars on a tablet should go out and buy another tablet just to view your website is an extreme display of hubris. Keep in mind that the iPad has the dominant market share in the tablet market, so that message states that you don't want 50+% of tablet viewers to view your site.

Do You Use CSS Vendor Prefixes?
Tue, 08 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
If you don’t, you should be. They let you add more cutting-edge features to your web pages and be sure that they will work even in browsers that don’t yet support the standards version of the property. Vendor prefixes are not a hack, they are a tool for browser makers and web designers to make sure that new features can be added without breaking a page in older or other browsers. Yes, you have to type a little more to use them. But stop being lazy and just do it. It’ll only hurt for a second.

Don’t Drive Away Tablet Users in a New Browser War
Mon, 07 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400
I was working on my design inspiration article for this week (Wednesday), and I chose to promote a Flash website for a magazine that was very nice looking and fun to view on my iMac. But for the heck of it, I decided to see what fallback options they had chosen to use for iOS visitors. I didn't expect to see the site recreated in HTML5 (although I admit, I was hoping…). But I was surprised to see the above image as a new version of the tired and old browser wars. Only, as you can see, instead of being told to get a new browser (and there are apps that run Flash sites on iOS), you are told to get a new tablet device. Seriously? Do any of you really believe that someone will like a single website so much that they will say “What the heck! I'm going to go drop another couple hundred dollars on a new tablet, because this website is sooooooo cool!” and go out and buy another tablet? Personally, I wouldn't do it. But my brother tells me I'm an Apple zealot, so maybe I'm biased.
