Mozilla has released Firefox 4 Beta 4, bringing two very interesting features to the table: Panorama (previously called Tab Candy) and Sync. Panorama is a nifty visual tool that lets you overview all of your open tabs and group them into sets with a simple drag-and-drop interface. It’s activated via an icon at the right end of the bookmark bar, which takes you to your tab playground, where you can expand or delete your tab sets, create new ones and organize them around the canvas as you see fit.
Another interesting update in the latest beta of Firefox 4 is the inclusion of Sync, a feature that lets you synchronize your bookmarks, history, Awesome Bar, passwords, form-fill data and open tabs across multiple computers and your iPhone if you use Firefox Home. As far as security and privacy go, Sync doesn’t track your history, and encrypts all of your data before sending it to the server.
For many users, Sync is not only a wanted feature — it’s a must-have. Right now, a Firefox add-on called Xmarks delivers most of the functionality of Sync, and even brings some extra features, such as search enhancement and web discovery. But Firefox…
I have recently been designing my current Wordpress theme and I have been struggling with making an awesome sidebar for my blog. Basically I have been looking for a design that incorporates ads as well as some other add ons such as twitter, extra links etc. .I haven’t quite gotten there yet but I am on the right track. I have been spending the past week visiting a number of sites with really great sidebars. The list below is my favourite ten sidebar sites
Smashing Magazine is one of the websites I visit the most, more then five times daily. This sidebar is double the width of others. It measures in at around 420px wide.
Mac.appstorm.net features articles which focus on the Mac world, God bless them. Their sidebar measures up at around 300px wide. It has a very nice chic look which mixes into the black background of the website. It also looks like they have a nice cufon font script running.
I have recently been posting on twitter that I am for a limited time designing free customized twitter backgrounds. Whats better then something free? Exactly. All you have to do is tweet about it on twitter so I can put you on my design list to do. I will then message you and Ill ask you a few questions about what you have in mind. Take advantage of this while it lasts.I usually charge twenty dollars for these bad boys but Im feeling generous now that I am getting closer to the end of the school year and that Graduation soon approaches.In order to get your name on the list just tweet the below:
@michaelcapson Mike, Please design me a free twitter background!
Ok well I want to thank everyone for all the awesome wishes and warm hearts while I was sick and in the hospital last week. I appreciate all the wonderful support. It seems like forever ago that I have written a post but it has led me to the idea that I should give out some free stuff.I love ringtones that stand out and are better then other peoples lame ringtones. I also love Rick Astley. What better then having both joined together. I give you Rick Astley ringtones.I made these bad boys while laying terribly sick in bed last week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I always loved rocking out to Rick and now I can relive the eighties every time someone calls me.
Download the zip file below then open in Itunes. Hook up your Iphone and voila. Rick Astley is calling you!
This is a great articles from CSSNEWBIE.COM. I actually used this the other day on a clients site. I thought it was good so yours seeing it now! This is often overlooked so pay attention.
Almost every example of good dropdown navigation on the web today relies on a single, simple HTML structure: the nested unordered list. Without this structure, dropdown menus would be much more complex to build than they already are.
Of course, that means that knowing how to build a good nested unordered list is critical to this entire process. I’ve seen many examples of people trying to build a dropdown menu on their own, running into problems they didn’t understand, and throwing their hands up in frustration… only to discover their problem wasn’t some obscure CSS problem, but an error in their list structure.
As such, I thought it would be a good idea to go over what a good nested unordered list structure looks like (and what a bad one often looks like too!).
The Good
Here’s a well-structured nested unordered list — a perfect foundation for a dropdown menu.
