    Where did you find HTML?

    I found out about HTML when I was making one of those pages similar to MySpace that Hotmail had. Everybody had one! I had to have one too. Needless to say it looked a lot like Homer's website.

    Html5

    In their defense, when they initially announced it, they gave an estimated timeframe. It's just that some people got too excited and couldn't stop talking about it when it was still in its early stages.

    Dreamweaver any good?

    Dreamweaver is usually intended for people getting started with coding or those that need premade templates to have their sites done and up quickly. If you're not very familiar with HTML/CSS/javascript, DW can be pretty helpful.

    What's the best programming language? Here's a clue

    Here's an article I found written by Dion, a down-to-earth coding expert who can make the difficult seem easy. This is, in my opinion, the best answer you can get to 'What's the best programming language?'. Link to the article: BlogDD by Dion Designs Now that brings us to the question. Do...

    Backlinks

    That actually sounds like a pretty good idea, but I've seen it done before and those free sites ended up being too confusing, because since there are different sites with the same content that look the same, you don't know which one is the "real deal". If you go ahead with this, make sure to...

    Free or Paid host?

    Indeed. If you're serious about owning a website, then paid hosting is the way to go. You can find several VPS's for very reasonable prices. Free hostings are, most of the times, a bad choice, especially because of all the downtimes your site can experience.

    Encrypting HTML

    There are a few online tools that enable you to encrypt HTML to avoid getting ripped off by people who check your site's source code. They don't always guarantee complete safety against copycats, but at least they can keep the dumb ones and the newbies away. :p This is one, for example...

    Html5

    Thanks, Wikipedia! According to different reports, HTML will not be ready until next year. It won't support some current HTML tags like <center> or <font>. Those should be replaced with text-align:center; and font-family, color, etc. Some demos you can try: html5demos.com - Note that videos...

    Css3

    CSS3 is the latest version for Cascade Style Sheets available (for now). Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera support it, whereas IE (versions 7 and 8, not sure about 9) doesn't. You can do all kinds of things and get very cool features with CSS3, like rounded edges and animations. However...

    Backlinks

    That's a pretty good way to get backlinks. I know many webmasters who usually submit articles to different blogs to link back to their sites. The problem is that not many forums allow guests to write articles. The best way of getting a free, easy backlink that I can think of is through forum...

    WOM (Word Of Mouth)

    Do you think word of mouth is a good way to get more active visitors on your site? WOM happens when a person joins your site and spreads the word to his friends and other people online. Some people have called WOM the "Holy Grail of marketing". All the buzz around viral content? That's...

    Compressing your CSS files

    Indeed, CSS sprites are a great way to make things reasonably faster. There are some websites in which you can simply upload different images and they'll be automatically be turned into 1 only image, and will be given the CSS code to properly display it. I highly recommend that for icons.

    Which code are you using? Mine or Melvin's?

    Adobe Illustrator

    Has any of you ever used Adobe Illustrator to create vectors? My brother had a portable version in my desktop PC so I wanted to give it a shot. I've used Photoshop for a while but Illustrator was completely different. I never got used to it, but it appears to be much better than Photoshop's...

    Center Div

    <div id="container" style="height:500px;background:url(http://www.rossmoyne.wa.edu.au/Portals/0/docs/Community/Alumni/Facebook-Icon.jpg) no-repeat 0 50%"></div> Use the image as a background one, then set the div's height to the appropriate one.

    Advertising in webmaster forums

    Does anyone here find it worthy to create promotional topics in webmaster forums, like this one, even though your forum doesn't belong to this niche? Why/why not? I never got good results after promoting my site in webmaster forums. Most admins only signed up, made a couple posts and then...

    Forum signatures: a good way to advertise?

    It's true that some forums allow links in signatures and some others don't, but either PMing the admin or going over the forum rules can't take that long - and it can be worth it, especially in sites you're active or sites you no longer are active on, but have made lots of posts on. In my case...

    Compressing your CSS files

    It's actually not my site, but you're welcome. Make sure your CSS files don't have any format errors; if they do, compressing can really screw things up. You can actually make files considerably smaller when compressing them. I could really see the difference in my site too. And, over time...

    Why learn Jquery

    jQuery is 10 times easier to use than javascript. Most of the predefined functions are live savers. Even only 1 line of jQuery can do what 10 lines of javascript can. Their documentation is really well organized too, so it's very easy to find exactly what you're looking for in their website.

    Forum signatures: a good way to advertise?

    Forum signatures crowded with links, banners and all kinds of things linking to external pages seem to be very popular now. If you're active on a forum that has a lot of members and add a link to your site in your signature, chances are you will get a few new visitors. As long as it's not...
