The web is a vaste place where you can virtually learn and discover everything. Most of the time it is easier to search for something on the net than opening the book next to you. But we should really try to broaden our range of resources so that you don’t only read stuff about the web on the web.
Take magazines for example, yeah they are ding because all the information is available online, for free most of the time, but they also give you info that you wont find on the web. If you search for a specific subject you often end up reading the same things again and again. That happens less on physical material like magazines and books.
Google as recently released a new way to set up its tracking software Analytics. The new script loads asynchronously on the page making it transparent for the user.
Using the normal code, and on a slow day, you may see in the info bar the google loading the script and your webpage waiting for it. This can be annoying, especially when it takes a few seconds.
So Google came up with that script. I’ve used it a numerous sites and everything seems to work fine, except the event tracking,like click, which seems dead now. That might be a silly mistake, I’ll let you know if I find anything about that.
And before you jump to conclusions and call me a retard I would also like to add, it is a Framework. There I’ve said it and I am not taking it back.
WordPress as been improving and improving toward what people wrongly call a CMS. Where this is partly true, it is far from the really as well. A Framework is much more than just a content management system. It is something that provide tools to build anything.
Much like jQuery is a javascript Framework and Zend Framework is a php one, WordPress is in a state where I would call a site framework. And of course it is awesome!
Yeah pretty big news right? After the announcement this morning from Microsoft that they were dropping Internet Explorer development, Mozilla add another one by saying the merge of code base of IE 9 and Firefox 4.0 to make… Fire Explorer.
Damn that’s probably one of the biggest announcement in the last few year of internet browser war. Now what would make it even bigger is if they could supply Fire Explorer by default with Windows. We could see, at last, a really drop in Internet Explorer usage to the profit of Open source software.
Bring it on, can’t wait to see that.
There are silly things we tend to forget or keep doing so i am doing quick list here for myself and maybe others. do not jump on photoshop, start a design by coding it, use an id more than once on a page, put classes names starting with numbers, code css for ie6, code for two hours without refreshing the page, refresh the page after 30min off firebug tweaking, leave something for tomorow, write posts on a crappy mobile phone, forget your admin password, delete all stored passwod from firefox
If you are serious about launching a new site, or redesigning yours but do not have the time/skill to do it yourself then premium themes are the way to go.
WordPress is for me the CMS of choice and you can find loads and loads of really good themes for almost nothing. Ok there are free themes out there, but when you look at it closely, they do not compare to premium and homemade themes.
Plus with payed theme you usually get the support behind it which is always a good addition when you do not want to spend ages trying to figure out why this or that is not working properly. WordPress premium themes are the way to go.
