On the social…
Love it, hate it or have no clue about it, Social Media is well and truly got its claws into the backbone of the internet. Buzz words like Web 2.0 and Social Networking are now common speak for internet folk, and sites such as Facebook and Twitter are as much as household names as Hoover and Kleenex.
And it seems as though it’s here to stay. Even the naysayers, who at one time suggested that these social sites were just a fad, would have to admit that social media is still going strong and is even on the increase. Read on!

Another arrow for the web designers quiver…
The @font-face CSS property is a relatively new kid on the block, and it’s supported by all the major browsers, even IE7! All in all it’s a fantastic tool for web designers to embed fonts into their websites, and it out-does the aging methods of image replacement and sFIR Flash Replacement.
Even though it’s not that new, it looks like there’s still a teething problem or two out there. Read on!

Via Digg, I recently found a magazine scan from Wired Magazine that arranged corporate logos (I’m guessing from Fortune 500 companies) by their dominant colours. Unsurprisingly, a visible majority of those logos are blue. I’ve been wondering why people seem to like blue so much. Think about it: most operating systems are dominantly blue by default (bad ubuntu!). Heck, even denim jeans — western society’s greatest achievement — are predominantly blue!
Now I think I know why we tend to like blue so much: it’s because we’re really bad at it. Allow me to explain… Read on!

One of the coolest features of CSS3 is the ability to create newspaper-like columns on your layouts without any extra markup. We always find ourselves “cheating”, using things like <div id="column-one"> which is not very good, so this property would save us a lot of time and unnecessary code.
CSS3 solves all this with the use of some really cool properties: column-width, column-gap and column-rule. I guess they’re pretty self explanatory, except for column-rule which basically behaves like a border in between columns, so it can be treated like one, using width, style, etc. If you need more details, you can go to the source.

Don’t you just hate it when you print a website only to find out that it’s gone all wrong? Background images and colours are lost, text becomes unreadable due to lack of contrast and many elements, such as menus, are unnecessary when in paper, thus wasting precious micro-drops of the most expensive liquid in the world. Worry not, for CSS is the answer to all of these problems. Read on!

Well, we just installed this plugin that automatically tweets your WP posts. If you do a ‘twitter’ search on the WP plugin repository, you get zillions of them, so we just shorlisted and picked the one we thought would fit our needs best.
This post should work as a test.
The plugin is called Feed2Tweet if you’re interested :)
