Take My Advice - I’m Not Using It! » Learning HTML and XHTML for Beginners
These sites are a great starting point for someone who knows nothing about building a web site with HTML/XHTML. While I would recommend that you learn to build standards-compliant web sites with XHTML and CSS, you will usually need to know basic HTML first.
A very nice compilation of links to get you on the right track!
Khmerang.com - CSS-Technique: Worn Type
I was asked about how did I do the rough worn type for post headlines on Khmerang.com, so I thought I’d write a kind of a tutorial on worn type. It’s quite simple technique, derived from Gilder/Levin image replacement, but instead of replacing the whole text, I’m just placing a repeating pattern image on top of it.
I thought this was a good write up of an interesting affect for header text.
BrowserCam Annual Membership III - Fundable
This has been done twice already and this is yet again another copied effort since I missed both group actions. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will purchase the annual membership and setup an account for all the participants. Keep in mind that their daily price for one user is $19.95, which is more than what you will need to pay for a year under this plan — obviously, you can’t beat this deal.
Cobalt Sky has recently worked on a weblog site for The Flory Team of The Woodlands, TX. The blog is called Experience The Woodlands and is located at http://www.ExperienceTheWoodlands.com. The blog focuses on Real Estate news and happenings from around the country, state, and The Woodlands, community and neighborhood news, and new neighborhood updates. The site includes links to many free services provided by The Flory Team, headed by one of The Woodlands’ top realtors- Michele Flory of Prudential Gary Greene Realtors in The Woodlands, TX.
The site itself also includes a contact form, a services page that lists a large number of different businesses in the area (from carpet and flooring to sheetrock and weekly yard maintenance), and even a gallery. The gallery has some beautiful aerial pictures that were provided by Eddie’s Airshots, as well as many pictures from around the area provided by The Flory Team. The gallery captures a lot of the beauty of the area and includes pictures of sculptures, water features, the town center, parks, and more.
The blog has the potential to expand for each neighborhood, as it has with Hazelcrest in The Woodlands. Other neighborhoods might include: Altwood, Cascade Canyon, Chandler Creek, Dove Trace, Heritage Hills, Hunters Crossing, Lansdowne, Legacy Point, Lenox Hill, Mirror Ridge, Peaceful Canyon, Shawnee Ridge, and Stellar Point. The neighborhood blog serves as an addition to the printed newsletter that each resident receives and offers the flexibility and convenience of being online. Editors and users can post news, events, etc. and comment on what has been posted. We hope this will help unite the neighborhoods and allow neighbors to get to know each other a bit better.
Katie Dixon took the reigns with the design and development of the project and is pleased with the attention the site has already begun receiving in the short time that it has been live. The bulk of the project was developing a 3-column fixed-width Wordpress template to use on each page, as well as pages that are not controlled by the blog software. The design is XHTML and CSS valid with some PHP additions to the CMS which is run by Wordpress. Another large portion of the project involved the customization of the gallery to transition easily from the main blog page, yet still have it’s own “look.” We went with Coppermine as the gallery software because of the customization, flexibility, and ease of use for both Admins and visitors.
