Magical list generator using jquery

Just found this simple but effective javascript code, utilising the invaluable jquery library to create linked select lists. You select the first list and it magically goes off and generates the options in the 2nd and 3rd lists. This in itself isn't anything particularly ground breaking, but this code connects…

The Affiliate Marketing Board Game

It occurred to me the other day, just how much affiliate marketing is like playing monopoly! It's probably the reason I like it so much. Everyone trying to make it around the board, picking up as many properties as they can, in the hope that some will make decent returns.…

Cool CSS Dim Effect

I'm always looking for cool new effects to build into our sites. It can be tricky to balance out supporting older browsers and keeping things interesting, not only for our visitors/clients, but also for myself! I've been experimenting with a few cool CSS effects and AJAX widgetty things lately, including…

Resources for Web Design (tutorials, tools, code libraries, templates and more)

Some great links to resources for design tutorials, inspiration, tools, code libraries, browser bugs, galleries, templates, articles and web forums. http://www.softwaredeveloper.com

Future-proof your CSS with Conditional Comments

Anyone who has ever made a website, then tried to make it look the same for everyone will have come up against the nightmare that is cross-browser compatibility. Things are no doubt easier than they used to be. Back in the days of ie4/5 and Netscape you practically had to…

The Internet is Illegal

I've just been sent an interesting article about the, now infamous, tv-links.co.uk website. For those that don't know TV Links provided links to TV shows online and in effect gave people the opportunity to view them. From my understanding they didn't actually host anything themselves, rather just gave people one…

a4uexpo Affiliate Marketing Conference 2007

If Carlsberg ran conferences they would probably be something like a4uexpo! That was one of the comments I've read today about the a4uexpo affiliate marketing conference held last week at ExCeL London. It was a fantastic event although probably the most exhausting couple of days of my life! Here's a…

Why Web2.0 is 90% Rubbish

Whatever happened to editorial control? Since when has every Tom, Dick or Harry been an expert on everything and anything!? Sharing information and ideas is a great thing and the internet has given everyone a voice. Web 2.0 has taken this a step further by taking control away from the…

How to work for yourself effectively.

Making the most of your time is very important when working for yourself. It's a great feeling to have complete freedom over your working day, but if you're not careful this feeling of freedom can leave you with a lack of purpose or direction. It's hard to stay motivated and…

Creating a Google Sitemap

When I first heard about Google sitemaps I have to admit, I was a little skeptical. I didn't see why we should have to make Google's life easier. Surely it's Google's job to index our site, not the web developers job to spoon feed it information! Infact if practically any…

The coolest thing you’ll probably see all day!!!

I thought this was very cool, and as it's vagely website related, thought I'd include it here :) Download it here

A web design dream come true

Wow! Here's an amazing video by Dr Shai Avidan and Dr Ariel Shamir to support their paper on 'Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing'. It's a few minutes long, but it's worth watching to the end - where they make people disappear! Ooh! To be able to seamlessly extend or…
