CSS Tips and Making Efficient Web Interfaces
I was recently asked to find a somewhat comprehensive listing of CSS tips. Instead I decided to start pouring it all down in a post for later reference. I won’t really go over the basics, but a decent resource to get started in HTML and CSS can be found at http://htmldog.com/. I found them to be a decent starter kit for people. Now onto some ways to improve the way you write CSS.
Advertising and being OPEN
I’ve been thinking a lot lately: about two differing methodologies that sometimes by chance, sync up. That is, the free and the not-so-free. Everyone wants to say the web is free, but what are the top sites? Aren’t they really basking in the power of advertising dollars. Technology is free as long as its funded by Doritos! That’s a tasty chip right there. Hold on, I’ll be back, I have to get some, and some pringles without principles while I’m at it…
Ok, back… nom nom nom…
As much as we’d like to not sell out or be sustainable by the viewers like you; it’s just not economical. There is always going to be some amount of whoring in order for us to pay the bills. What is putting the money in our pocket is someone not concerned about whether or not they can loan us money for a cup of coffee once in a while (payed subscriptions), but someone that’s concerned about a return on investment: monetary obligations. We all want someone to take us out to a nice restaurant and treat us right, but at the same time they’re trying to push their products on us… hard. So what’s wrong with everyone? Just because you say you’re open, doesn’t mean you are. You praise it like a religion, and then peddle your wares.
