Indeed, optimizing graphics is always a concern when dealing with any media. This article takes an in-depth look into how to effectively optimize .png and .jpeg images without quality loss. A nice read for any designer out there looking into this topic.

Article Blurb – Part 1

Read Article – Part 1

5 Traits of Effective “About Us” Pages

CodeMunkyX — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 04:38:51 +0000

Article Blurb

It’s often the most neglected page on your website; if you even have this page. However, if you do, it is very likely among the most visited pages.

Writing CSS for Others

CodeMunkyX — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 04:15:16 +0000

I think a lot of us CSS authors are doing it wrong. We are selfish by nature; we get into our little bubbles, writing CSS (as amazing as it may be) with only ourselves in mind. How many times have you inherited a CSS file that’s made you say “WTF” at least a dozen times?

HTML has a standard format and syntax that everyone understands. For years, programmers have widely agreed on standards for their respective languages. CSS doesn’t seem to be there yet: everyone has their own favorite format, their own preference between single-line and multi-line, their own ideas on organization, and so on.
