We love useful stuff. For months, we have been bookmarking interesting, useful and creative CSS tools and related resources. We have been contacting developers, encouraging them to improve their tools and release their handy little apps to the public. Last year we prepared and published some of them in a series of smashing posts about CSS. Now again is the time to give these tools the attention they deserve. Big thanks to all designers and developers who contributed to the design community over the last months and years. We — our community and the design community — truly appreciate your efforts.

Meet Asero!

Here’s my new phone which only arrived yesterday. A Nokia e71, which is a part of Nokia e-series family. Right now, he’s on charging state so can’t make a review at this time. But what I’ve known so far, the coolest feature of this phone is the GPS, “Hey! Look mom, that’s our house!”.

Oh yes, e-series means business.

Just woke up this afternoon, checked my emails and other social networking website I have when suddenly a post from Mr. Bob Reyes on Multiply caught up my attention, it reads, “WordPress 2.6.5 is out now!”

Upon checking Wordpress.org, here’s the development update of the said released:

The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.

2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.

Note that we are skipping version 2.6.4 and jumping from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 to avoid confusion with a fake 2.6.4 release that made the rounds. There is not and never will be a version 2.6.4.

And I asked myself.. “should I downgrade?”

7. 7. Now let’s go back to your Notepad, and paste the link there. Don’t overwrite the previous link or else you might get lost. We now have two links on a separate lines

http://www.zinio.com/img?issn=LayersR-003&size=155

1. This is the old style of just having nice colorful <div> on your page. And now we will gonna change it from old style to the new style. We will start here.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″ />
<title>Rounded Corners</title>
</head>
<style type=”text/css”>
#container
{
background:#333333;
color:#FFFFFF;
font:12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height:150%;
margin:0 auto;
padding:20px;
width:650px;
}

</style>

<body>
<div id=”container”>
Lorem ipsum vel ex nonumy meliore deleniti, eam prima soleat diceret id. Ne zzril aliquyam perfecto vel.
Lorem aliquam abhorreant duo cu, adhuc invidunt convenire id vix, regione aliquyam constituam mei ex. Cu duo congue cetero euripidis.
Est ad vitae tamquam adipisci, ne erant discere invenire qui, ad inani fabulas albucius vel. Ut ubique labore melius pro, cu vix dicat facilisi senserit.
Ut sit persius ceteros postulant, his illum fastidii scriptorem no.
</div>
</body>
</html>

2. Now, using Adobe Photoshop make four(4)rounded corners like what I did here.

3. Next step, I used <div> for the image containers. I made new ID for the containers with the same attributes.

#TopLeftCorner, #TopRightCorner, #BottomLeftCorner, #BottomRightCorner
{
background:#ffffff;
height:20px;
width:20px;
position:absolute;
}

4. Put the four(4) <div> in the content with their ID. Position it like what I did here.

<div id=”TopLeftCorner”></div>
<div id=”TopRightCorner”></div>
Lorem ipsum vel ex nonumy meliore deleniti, eam prima soleat diceret id. Ne zzril aliquyam perfecto vel.
Lorem aliquam abhorreant duo cu, adhuc invidunt convenire id vix, regione aliquyam constituam mei ex. Cu duo congue cetero euripidis.
Est ad vitae tamquam adipisci, ne erant discere invenire qui, ad inani fabulas albucius vel. Ut ubique labore melius pro, cu vix dicat facilisi senserit.
Ut sit persius ceteros postulant, his illum fastidii scriptorem no.
<div id=”BottomLeftCorner”></div>
<div id=”BottomLeftCorner”></div>

5. And here is the last part, we will just put the image into the <div> and to their correct position. To do this just follow the code the I made.

#TopLeftCorner
{
top:0;
left:0;
background-image:url(top_left.gif)
}
#TopRightCorner
{
top:0;
right:0;
background-image:url(top_right.gif)
}
#BottomRightCorner
{
bottom:0;
right:0;
background-image:url(bottom_right.gif)
}
#BottomLeftCorner
{
bottom:0;
left:0;
background-image:url(bottom_left.gif)
}
