		<description><![CDATA[This easy Tutorial shows you how to create a 3D CSS shadow text effect by stacking shadows, then animate it using the CSS text transform and CSS transition properties]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/3D-css-shadow-text.jpg" alt="3D-css-shadow-text-tutorial" title="3D-css-shadow-text-tutorial" width="600" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-264 article-main-image" /></p>
<p>This easy CSS text shadow tutorial will show you step by step how to create 3D font with multiple css shadows by stacking multiple CSS3 text shadow properties,  then go a step further and use the CSS text transform and CSS  transition properties to make the 3D text pop out / zoom on hover!</p>
<p><em>Please keep in mind this 3D CSS text shadow effect is pure CSS (No  JavaScript) and the technique only fully works in modern browsers like Firefox,  Chrome, Safari and Opera, It will fall back gracefully to plain text when viewed in any Internet Explorer browser.</em></p>
<p><a class="dl-button" href="http://demos.pgwebdesign.net/css3-3d-css-shadow-text-demo/">View Demo</a></p>
<h2>How CSS shadow text works</h2>
<p>To create this 3D CSS shadow text effect we are going to use  the CSS 3 text-shadow property, this is how text-shadow works:</p>
<pre>.example-class
{
	text-shadow: [X offset] [Y offset] [Blur size] [Colour];
}</pre>
<h2>Stacking multiple CSS  Shadows</h2>
<p> You don&#8217;t have to stack multiple css shadows but it does create  a better looking 3D CSS text effect.</p>
<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/3D-CSS.jpg" alt="multiple css shadows" width="455" height="275" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-263" /></p>
<h2>The Tutorial (Creating  the 3D CSS text shadow)</h2>
<p>You will want to pick colours darker than the original  text  colour for the shadow, so for this example I will be using white text, with a 2 level deep  grey shadow, followed by a 4 level deep near black shadow to create that 3D  text illusion.</p>
<p> For this example I&#8217;m going to target a H2 tag, but you can  target any HTML element, link, class, ID etc.</p>
<pre class="brush:css">
h2
{
	text-shadow:
	1px 1px 0 #CCC,
	2px 2px 0 #CCC, /* end of 2 level deep grey shadow */
	3px 3px 0 #444,
	4px 4px 0 #444,
	5px 5px 0 #444,
	6px 6px 0 #444; /* end of 4 level deep dark shadow */
}</pre>
<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/css-shadow-text.jpg" alt="css-shadow-text" width="455" height="103" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-266" /></p>
<p>  Well, you can stop there if you like, you have your basic 3D  CSS text illusion, using multiple shadows.<br />
    However, let&#8217;s go two steps further and make the  text size  increase on hover by using the CSS text transform property to have the 3D text pop out / zoom in &amp; out on hover! Then have it fade in and out smoothly with a CSS transition,   pure CSS3, no JavaScript required!</p>
</p>
<h2>Increasing text size  on hover with CSS text transform</h2>
<pre class="brush:css">
h2:hover
{
 	/* CSS3 Transform Effect */
  	-webkit-transform: scale(1.2);     /* Safari &#038; Chrome */
  	-moz-transform: scale(1.2);        /* Firefox */
  	-o-transform: scale(1.2);          /* Opera */
}</pre>
<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/css3-text-shadow.jpg" alt="css3-text-shadow" width="455" height="275" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-265" /></p>
<p>You can make the text  bigger by changing the (1.1)  value, (2.0) would be double the original size.<br />
  This instant CSS text transform on hover could use some improvement however, so  we are going to make it fade in and fade out over a few milliseconds.</p>
<h2>Making the cSS transition on hover smooth</h2>
<pre class="brush:css">
h2
{
	/* CSS3 Transition Effect */
	-webkit-transition: all 0.12s ease-out;		/* Safari &#038; Chrome */
	-moz-transition: all 0.12s ease-out;		/* Firefox */
	-o-transition: all 0.12s ease-out;		/* Opera */
}</pre>
<p>Now the text size grows larger on hover and goes back to  it&#8217;s normal state in a smooth CSS transition, you can increase or lower the speed  by changing the 0.12s value.</p>
<p><a class="dl-button" href="http://demos.pgwebdesign.net/css3-3d-css-shadow-text-demo/">View Demo</a> <strong>That&#8217;s it! You&#8217;ve  created your 3D CSS shadow text effect with multiple css shadows!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Twitter-hash-tag-abuse-spam.gif" alt="Twitter-hash-tag-abuse-spam" width="600" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-442 article-main-image" /></p>
<p>There are quite a few spam techniques used by people on  Twitter who want to get their content noticed. Well, I don&#8217;t want to talk about  spam-spam but more, about &#8216;missuse&#8217; of Twitter Hashtags and what&#8217;s become of  direct messages. I mean they might as well dump DM&#8217;s and be done with it as far  as I&#8217;m concerned, but let&#8217;s delve a little deeper. This is more of a discussion  and I&#8217;d be interested to hear your thoughts on each point below in the comments  section. Let&#8217;s start off by revising&#8230;</p>
<h3>The hashtags original purpose</h3>
<p class="intro-quote"><span class="quote-open-outdent"></span>A hashtag is similar to other web tags- it helps add tweets to a  category. Hashtags have the &#8216;hash&#8217; or &#8216;pound&#8217; symbol (<strong>#</strong>) preceding the tag, like so:  #traffic, #followfriday, #hashtag. Hashtags can occur anywhere in the  tweet&#8230; &#8211; <a href="http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/109-tweets-messages/articles/49309-what-are-hashtags-symbols" rel="external nofollow">Twitter</a></p>
<h3>How many hashtags  make a tweet, spam?</h3>
<p><em>2, 3, 4, 5 &#8211; Where do we draw the line?  </em></p>
<p>3 or more is on the verge of making the tweet feel  &#8217;spammy&#8217; which would make most users treat you  &amp; your tweet with disdain and in most cases, plain ignore it, even if it&#8217;s a great link.<br />
  <strong>How many hashtags does it take before you ignore the tweet or the user?</strong></p>
<h3>do you consider Hashtag Slang spam?</h3>
<p><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/twitter-hashtag-slang-spam.gif" alt="twitter-hashtag-slang-spam" width="454" height="69" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-444" /> </p>
<p> The use of the hashtag in this scenario goes  against what the hashtag is meant for, however It gives the tweet some extra  oomph. In most cases this would be harmless if the hash tag you&#8217;re using is not popular. There are cases  where you may unintentionally be tweeting your hashtag into a conversation that  has nothing to do with it, and in that case I would consider it; <strong>spam</strong>.</p>
<p> For all I know, <em>#godieinafire</em> could be the name of a band, has this ever happened to you before?<br />
Occasionally you see tweets in a  hashtag stream that are obviously out of place, and more than likely unintentionally, because let&#8217;s face it, when you type <em>#godieinafire</em>, you don&#8217;t check  if the tag is being used for something first.</p>
<p><strong>Have you ever had an interesting conversation start from the &#8216;misuse&#8217; of a Twitter hashtag?</strong></p>
<h3> Direct messages</h3>
<p>  Ah, direct messages, the sewer mutants of the twitter  underworld. Generally when you get a DM you are immediately suspicious of  that user as a spammer or some back-ally marketing team. A huge percentage of  DM&#8217;s are automated &#8216;thank you for following&#8217; or self promotions to &#8216;check out  my cool site&#8217; which &#8211; if you think about it, is not so bad. Why then, do we  hate it so much?</p>
<p> Are you a <strong>victim</strong> of improper hashtag usage,  a &#8216;innocent&#8217; <strong>culprit</strong>,  do you think direct messages are useful? Put  forward your points if you agree or disagree, in the comments below.</p>

<p><strong>When was the last time you updated your Curriculum  Vitae (CV) , Resume or cover letter?</strong></p>
<p> Regardless of what you call it, the answer  is likely the same &#8211; never.</p>
<p> Unless you&#8217;re looking for a job, your CV is probably sitting around somewhere as a boring text document gathering dust, in fact I&#8217;d  wager you can&#8217;t remember were you put your CV!  Well, that&#8217;s how it was for me.</p>
<p>After discovering  a CV inspiration post with 40 or so CV samples, of which none were usable  templates, and the rest were overly creative, I decided it was time to update  my curriculum vitae template. Better to keep it up to date instead of finding 5 years down the line,you can&#8217;t recall what you did, when.</p>
<p>In my opinion, a CV  or resume needs to be simple, clean and readable, with a dash of creativity  that doesn&#8217;t overshadow the information, with this in mind I set out to create  a nice clean and creative free Photoshop CV template that anyone with a little Photoshop  knowledge can modify to suit their   needs. </p>
<p> I went with a professional black &amp; white look with a slightly de-saturated  photograph. The emphasis is on the typography, the font&#8217;s are  free and packaged into the download, alternatively if you just want to get your  grubby fingers on these lovely free fonts, (which are also CSS3 compatible /  allowed ) you can grab <a href="http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/fonts/14-raleway">Raleway</a> (The thin font) or <a href="http://www.dafont.com/bebas-neue.font">Bebas Neue</a> here (Thick  Font) The icons used are from <a href="http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset:black-icon-social-media">Icon Finder</a>, you can download the CV template at the end of this page, enjoy!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ampersand, you know the "and" sign? ( &#038; ), well it seems everyone loves using this little fellow in all sorts of cool designs, however I keep seeing the same font face, so here's a list of elegant font alternatives.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lasithsangel.deviantart.com/art/love-thy-ampersand-133200560?q=boost%3Apopular+ampersand&amp;qo=169"><img src="http://pgwebdesign.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/elegant-ampersand-fonts.jpg" alt="Elegant Fonts for Great Ampersand Designs" width="600" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-236 article-main-image" /></a></p>
<p>Great <strong>ampersand </strong>fonts can be pretty tough to find, what&#8217;s a ampersand? Well  it&#8217;s the &#8220;<strong>and</strong>&#8221; sign? ( <strong>&amp;</strong> ), and it seems everyone loves using this little fellow in all sorts of cool ampersand designs, however I keep seeing the same ampersand font face, if you are a designer you’re probably familiar with the accused, but I digress, since it’s an great elegant font and works especially well for ampersand fonts &#8211;  I’m guilty of adding it &amp; similar fonts to the list.</p>
<p>Most ampersand fonts listed are licensed, meaning you may have to purchase them, some are free fonts, however, most of the great fonts are also packed with certain applications, so check  if you have the font on your windows pc or mac before downloading.</p>
<p>Most of these elegant font’s are not web safe, you should either use an image, or a font replacement technique, like <a href="http://cufon.shoqolate.com">Cufon</a>,  <a href="http://typekit.com/">Typekit</a>, or see if it’s on <a href="http://code.google.com/webfonts">Google’s Font Directory</a>, Smashing Magazine also has a <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/22/rich-typography-on-the-web-techniques-and-tools/">great list</a>.</p>
<p>Most fonts are available in <strong>.otf</strong> and <strong>.ttf</strong> for use with the <strong>CSS3</strong> @font-face property.</p>
<p><em>Not sure how to Install these free and paid for elegant fonts? Find out for either <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/support/help_install_win.html">Windows</a> or <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/support/help_install_mac.html">Mac’s</a>.</em></p>

<p>Not sure how to go about creating a Web design? I often get asked for resources or good places to learn about basic Web design tutorials and &#8216;slicing&#8217;, from designers or new employee&#8217;s who want to try their hand at Web site design. </p>
<p>This is a round-up of some of the better Web design tutorials out there for designers and Photoshop users who want to break into or improve their Web site design skills, and optionally wish to learn how to convert their Design&#8217;s or PSD&#8217;s into standards compliant functional HTML/CSS Websites using modern methods of coding (no tables here!).</p>

<h3>A Brief history of Dragons</h3>
<p>Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many cultures.</p>
<p>There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan, Korea and other Asian countries.</p>
<p> The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word &#8220;dragon&#8221; derives from Greek δράκων (drákōn), &#8220;dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake&#8221;, which probably comes from the verb δρακεῖν (drakeîn) &#8220;to see clearly&#8221;. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon">Read more&#8230;</a></p>
<p>Please be aware that none of the images in this article are made by me, but are a collection of dragons from across the internet.</p>
