There are official CSS colors

color wheel CSS introduced a lot of new concepts in the way that we manage Web pages. And one of those things was the list of official color keywords. CSS color keywords are essentially the same as the SVG color keywords, but there are fewer of them. They are also more readily supported by most user agents and browsers. If you have just gotten started using color keywords, you should focus on the official CSS color keywords before moving onto the SVG keywords.

CSS 1 properties are a great start

CSS If you're trying to learn CSS, you should first learn the CSS 1 properties. These are the most widely supported CSS properties and you won't go wrong with them. There are a lot of things that CSS 1 can do for your Web pages but you'll never know if you don't try them out.

Standardize your CSS workflow

One thing that novice Web designers don't realize is that even if you have a very powerful Web editor like Dreamweaver or Expression Web, you still need to think about CSS development from a coder's perspective. Hopefully, someday this will change and editors will be better at CSS development than they are now. (Note: these tools are good at writing CSS, they just aren't perfect.) If you have a plan and a workflow that you follow every time you start to build a CSS Web page, you'll get the best results out of what CSS can do for you.

Search Engine Wars : Google & Yahoo

Now that you have figured out what the market is that you are aiming for and which products or services you wish to sell or market, you need to understand the search engines in general. There are essentially 3 search engines in use today. They are Google, Yahoo and MSN. There are other search engines however as their user base is much smaller or either very unique, they are of lesser importance than the 3 large engines. Localised search engines such as the Chinese search engine Bandu would be of critical importance if you are selling in the Chinese market however the Chinese are unique in that the engine is specifically built for Chinese users due to its unique search ability of the Chinese language. Getting listed on Ananzi for a South African specific website would help you in your traffic building arena however in my view mainly for it

Poll: How many colors do you prefer in your color palettes?

Color is a very subjective aspect of Web design. Colors that I like, you might hate. While colors that you find hideous may be the perfect colors for a specific job. But when you create a color palette for a website, you are creating the template for the entire site. So it's important to come up with a limited set of colors. But how many is too many or too few?

Extremely sensitive protein detection with quantum dot self-assemblies

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In proteomics research, the study of the structure and function of proteins, chemical as well as physical methods are used to detect proteins. Physical methods are mostly applied after chromatography. They are either based on spectroscopy like light absorption at certain wavelengths or mass determination of peptides and their fragments with mass spectrometry. Chemical methods are used after two-dimensional electrophoresis and employ staining with organic dyes, metal chelates, fluorescent dyes, complexing with silver, or pre-labeling with fluorophores. What these various methods have in common is that they are not very fast, can be expensive, sometimes don't offer the sensitivity required, and are not always easy to handle.

Gas Prices are High, Shopping from Home Grows - eCommerce with AIT is the viable alternative

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 07, 2008 ) (FAYETTEVILLE, NC) March 6, 2008 -“Fewer cars will be seen on the roads and in the Mall parking lots this spring and summer as a result of soaring fuel prices and the explosion of eCommerce alternatives” predicts Byron Keaton, a Marketing Analyst with AIT, (www.AIT.com/?pdkw=pr-ecommerce-EW-03-06-2008). More and more people are driving less and shopping from the comfort and security of their homes than ever before. “With average prices at the pump above $3 a gallon, filling up is causing American consumers increasing pain in the pocketbook” says NPR’s Scott Horsley. According to an ABC News poll, “Americans are not just dissatisfied with the cost of gasoline, a sizable number are downright angry about it. And they might get madder still: Many are cutting back elsewhere in order to keep paying at the pump,

The Very Verbose Guide to Updating and Compiling Your Debian Kernel

IconIf you are reading this, I assume you already know what the Linux kernel is and why you may want to update it. However, if you are accidentally reading this walkthrough, just happen to be running Linux, and have no idea what the kernel is or why you would want to update it, the next two paragraphs are for you (if you are looking instead into a less verbose and more generic way of updating your kernel on any Linux distro, read here). In a neophyte nutshell, the Linux kernel is the brain of the Linux system. It tells your system which file systems, hardware, protocols, etc. are supported. There is a lot more to it than that, of course, but I think that diminutive description will suffice for now.

Owen Holland, Roboticist, at SHARE Festival

"Here at Essex we are exploring this new field with the CRONOS series of robots, designed and constructed by Rob Knight. The inspirations for the first examples are the human skeleton and its musculature. We are all familiar with the skeleton, and to some extent with muscles, but we are much less familiar with the ways in which the muscles are connected to the skeleton and act on it to produce movements and to exert force on the external world.

Indian Premier League on the horizon

The countdown to the biggest extravaganza cricket has ever known starts now. The fixtures are advertised, the teams are assembled, the prize money's ready ($3m), the adverts are airing, the public are salivating. Only the bowlers - who face a regular pummelling in the power-orientated twenty20 format - are viewing it with slightly less than total enthusiasm. From an English cricket fan's point of view, its just a shame all the daily action is happening 7000 miles away in India.

LIGATT Security Offers a Self Study Course to Become Certified Ethical Computer Hacker for Only $150

LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 14, 2008 -- Computer hacking and Identity Theft via computers are on the rise. The reason why computer hackers are going almost untouched is because there are no real computer security experts that are trained to think like a hacker. "There is a old saying 'to catch a thief it takes a thief.' Well in the computer security world there is a saying 'in order to catch a hacker, it takes a hacker," says Gregory Evans, Director of LIGATT Security. "There is a misconception that IT managers are also experts in computer security. This couldn't be further from the truth. That is why major corporations such as TJ Maxx could get hacked and not know about it for over year," says Evans.

Newspapers and the blogosphere

A spectre is haunting the world of newspapers — the spectre of the blogosphere. There are currently more than 100 million weblogs or ‘blogs’ worldwide, about 15 percent of which are believed to be active. Most are produced by zealous amateurs who analyse traditional reportage by linking to online news items and supplying short, usually provocative comments. Publication costs are essentially zero, providing you have a computer with an Internet connection, after that only political sensitivities – particularly those in China, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria – need to be considered. Luckily, if you annoy the government enough for them to imprison you, there are also blogs that will tirelessly petition for your release, as has happened with Fouad Al-Farhan, the “father of Saudi blogging�, who was arrested last year.

Producing isolated nanocrystalline diamond fibers at high growth rates

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3000 years and are thought to have been first recognized and mined there. The most familiar usage of diamonds today is as gemstones in jewelry but, apart from being a girl's best friend, it seems that diamonds, especially nanodiamonds, are quickly becoming a scientist's best friend as well. Diamonds are the hardest natural material - the word diamond comes from the Greek term adamas, which means 'invincible' - has the lowest coefficient of thermal conductivity, is electrically insulating, chemically inert, and optically transparent. In nanoparticulate form, diamonds possess an additional property that makes them so interesting for researchers: since they are carbon-based and non-toxic they are a suitable material for drug delivery, drug diagnostics and medical imaging app

Art mafia 'ordered' minister's bashing

luke v of Melbourne post 3 hit the nail on the head- with the "...made in Australia.." stickers covering the "made in China" stickers. It does not matter if you like or dislike Aboriginal paintings, the point is that greedy people are trying to rip off others that are trying to make a living for themselves. Why are artifacts that are "Australian" allowed to be brought into the country and sold here? Why not allow those Aboriginals that are able and willing to earn a living by their Art be encouraged to do so? I am sure many posters here have complained about them being 'on the dole'. How about some help and encouragement as Peter Toyne is trying to give them??? Think of the old "Give a man a fish.." metaphor. Aboriginal people need a hand not a slap, whether you like their art work or not.
