      <title>DON’T WRITE HEADLINES IN ALL CAPS</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/23/dont-write-headlines-in-all-caps.htm</link>
      <description>Many people were taught to use all capital letters to emphasize text or
make it stand out more. But with all the different typographic options

  doesn't require that you invest in an icon editor. This site will take
  any picture you upload and convert it into a favicon for you to upload
  to your website. There is even a readme file that tells you how to get

  want to create one yourself, this is a great tool. You can also use it
  to convert your site logo into a favicon. &lt;/p&gt;

      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/20/10-spelling-and-grammar-errors-that-drive-web-readers-crazy.htm</link>
      <description>We&amp;rsquo;re all human, and make mistakes in our spelling and grammar at
times. But there are some errors that jump out at your readers often
with disastrous results. You wouldn&amp;rsquo;t think a missing apostrophe
would be bad, but if you regularly write its instead of it&amp;rsquo;s for
&amp;quot;it is&amp;quot; some people will stop reading your site and tell
others to stop reading it too. Also, some typos can result in &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/linkcheckers/Link_Checkers.htm"&gt;broken links&lt;/a&gt;
 and even broken pages. By checking for these common spelling errors and
grammar errors, you raise your site&amp;rsquo;s credibility and keep your
readers happy. &lt;h3&gt;Good Web Writing&lt;/h3&gt;

      <title>Poll: Do you modify the meta description on every one of your pages?</title>

 The &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/metatags/qt/meta_descriptio.htm"&gt;meta description&lt;/a&gt;
 tag is an important tag for &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/c/ec/122.htm"&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt;
 because nearly every search engine uses this as the description of the
page in their search results. But many people don't have time to create
a description for every page that they put up. Do you change your meta
descriptions or do you have a default one that you use for most or all
pages on a site?</description>

      <title>Apps vs. the Web</title>
      <link>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/apps-vs-the-web/</link>
      <description>There's an app for that, and you're the folks who are creating it. But
should you design a web-based application, or an iPhone app? Each
approach has pluses and minuses&amp;mdash;not to mention legions of
religiously rabid supporters. Apple promotes both approaches (they even
gave the web a year-long head start before beginning to sell apps in the
store), and the iPhone's Safari browser supports HTML5 and CSS3 and
brags a fast JavaScript engine. Yet many companies and individuals with
deep web expertise choose to create iPhone apps instead of web apps that
can do the same thing. Explore both approaches and learn just about
everything you'll need to know if you choose to create an iPhone
app&amp;mdash;from the lingo, to the development process, to the tricks that
can smooth the path of doing business with Apple.</description>

      <title>Good Help is Hard to Find</title>
      <link>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/good-help-is-hard-to-find/</link>
      <description>Help content gets no respect. For one thing, it is content, and our
horse-before-cart industry is only now beginning to seriously tackle
content strategy. For another, we assume that our site is so usable,
nobody will ever need the help content anyway. Typically, no one is in
charge of the help content and no strategy exists to keep it up to date.
On most sites, help content is hard to find, poorly written, blames the
user, and turns a mildly frustrating experience into a lousy one. It's
time to rethink how we approach this part of our site. Done well, help
content offers tremendous potential to earn customer loyalty. By
learning to plan for and create useful help content, we can turn
frustrated users into our company's biggest fans.</description>

      <title>I love pull quotes</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/16/i-love-pull-quotes.htm</link>
      <description>I read a lot, and yet the text that often grabs me when I first glance
at a page is not the headline, but the &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/csstutorials/a/aa111207.htm"&gt;pull quote&lt;/a&gt;
. This is a small blurb pulled out of the body copy and made to stand
out in some way. I have gone through magazine articles reading only the
pull quotes. But many web designers don't use them. And they are a great
way to add visual interest to a page that is otherwise dry and boring
text. Plus, like headlines, pull quotes stand out and bring a reader
through an article. By creating effective and dynamic pull quotes you
can help your readers along and keep them interested in your site. This
article explores how to style pull quotes in more exciting ways. And
none of the methods use &lt;a

      <title>Web Design Software Pick of the Week: CSS Type Set</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/15/web-design-software-pick-of-the-week-css-type-set.htm</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;a href="http://csstypeset.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="CSS Type Set" height="75"

  It&amp;rsquo;s easier to view your typography and make changes to it as
  you watch, and the CSS Type Set helps you do that. You can set one of
  10 font families, your font size (in pixels or ems), the font color,
  alignments, and other font styles. Then, what&amp;rsquo;s useful is you
  can change the letter spacing, word spacgin, and line height with
  sliders. You slide them back and forth to see how your font looks. I
  wish there were more font families to choose from, but the 10 they
  have are fairly common on the web, so at least you would know that
  most people could see the font you chose. This is a useful tool for
  quickly getting a sense of how your word-, letter-, and line-spacing
  affects your text. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Do you use helvetica?</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/14/do-you-use-helvetica.htm</link>
      <description>Jacci, the &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://desktoppub.about.com/"&gt;Desktop
  Publishing Guide&lt;/a&gt;
 on About.com posted an interesting blog entry yesterday: &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://desktoppub.about.com/b/2010/08/13/whats-a-good-alternative-to-helvetica-no-not-arial.htm"&gt;What's
  a Good Alternative to Helvetica? No Not Arial&lt;/a&gt;
. Helvetica is so ubiquitous, and it's virtual twin, Arial, isn't far
behind. I admit, a lot of my default &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/fonts/qt/how-to-choose-a-font-stack.htm"&gt;font stacks&lt;/a&gt;
 are &amp;quot;geneva, arial, helvetica&amp;quot;. I tell myself as I throw that
in there that I'm going to look at the &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/fonts/qt/web-typography.htm"&gt;typography&lt;/a&gt;
 as soon as the &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/layout/a/aa052107.htm"&gt;layout&lt;/a&gt;
 and other major design decisions are made. And yet, there that font
stack is in my designs years later! Are you guilty of lazy typography in
your web pages? What's your &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/u/ua/fonts/good-font-stacks.htm"&gt;favorite
  font stack&lt;/a&gt;

      <title>In order to be a good designer, you need to understand unity</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/13/in-order-to-be-a-good-designer-you-need-to-understand-unity.htm</link>
      <description>Unity in design is the proximity of elements to one another. The closer
two elements are, the more related they are, and the farther apart they
are, the less related they are. But even if you understand that in
writing, it's much easier to see it through examples. This 5-part
article will show you how to see unity in simple lists or blocks of
text, unity with headlines, and a website banner before and after the
principle of unity was applied to it. &lt;h3&gt;Basic Principles and Elements
  of Design&lt;/h3&gt;

      <title>Validating Your HTML is Important</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/10/validating-your-html-is-important.htm</link>
      <description>Do you check the spelling of your web content? Do you proofread for
grammar errors? Do you check your site for broken links?  &lt;p&gt;Many web
  designers do all these things regularly on their websites, but they
  never &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlvalidators/a/aa102797.htm"&gt;validate
    their HTML&lt;/a&gt;. This seems odd to me, because while poor grammar and
  spelling can turn off readers and bad links are also annoying and can
  cause SEO problems, bad HTML can break your entire page. And I would
  think that a page that is broken would be even less appealing to most
  readers than a page with an occasional typo or broken link. There are
  many reasons why &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlvalidators/a/aa092799.htm"&gt;validating
    your HTML is important&lt;/a&gt;, and while the error messages that &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlvalidators/tp/best_html_validators.htm"&gt;HTML
  validators&lt;/a&gt; generate can be somewhat obscure at times, it is
  possible to &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlvalidators/a/html-validator-errors-explained.htm"&gt;interpret
  them&lt;/a&gt; so that you can fix your pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, if you're guilty of not validating your HTML regularly,
  reconsider this and take some time today to validate your HTML. Your
  site will thank you for it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/09/are-you-trying-to-stay-up-to-date-with-html.htm</link>
      <description>Then you should know what tags have been &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/g/bldefdeprecated.htm"&gt;deprecated&lt;/a&gt;
. These are &lt;a

  in HTML 4.01&lt;/a&gt;
. But even if there are tags that you use a lot in there, there are a
lot of &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/a/aa101706.htm"&gt;options&lt;/a&gt;
 you can use to get them out of your code.</description>

  forms&lt;/a&gt; from spammers. They work by displaying some type of question
  that would impossible for a computer to solve, but a person wouldn't
  find difficult. The most common type of CAPTCHA is an image with text
  that has been warped or distorted in some way so that computers cannot
  read them, but humans can. The Securimage CAPTCHA is a free PHP
  CAPTCHA script that you can add onto your forms to protect them. It
  even supports adding audible codes for the visually impaired. &lt;/p&gt;

 seems less and less important these days as access speeds get higher

  web pages&lt;/a&gt;
 is still one of the biggest complaints people have about the web. While
I realize that all pages are different, what is your general guideline
or rule-of thumb for the total size of images on one web page? &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/"&gt;WebSiteOptimization.com&lt;/a&gt;
 recommends all images should be less than 100K per page to keep the
download fast. What do you think?</description>

      <title>No One Nos: Learning to Say No to Bad Ideas</title>
      <link>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/no-one-nos-learning-to-say-no-to-bad-ideas/</link>
      <description>You can't create what clients need when you're too busy saying yes to
everything they want. As a user experience designer, it's your job to
say no to bad ideas and pointless practices. But getting to no is never
easy. Proven techniques that can turn vocal negatives into positive
experiences for you, the client, and most importantly, the end-user
include citing best practices and simple but powerful business cases;
proving your point with numbers; shifting focus from what to who; using
the &amp;quot;positive no&amp;quot;; and, when necessary, pricing yourself out.</description>

      <title>Kick Ass Kickoff Meetings</title>
      <link>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/kick-ass-kickoff-meetings/</link>
      <description>Too many kickoff meetings squander the busiest, most expensive people's
time reiterating what everyone already knows. If every meeting is an
opportunity, why waste your first one? By asking stakeholders tough
questions before the kick-off, and using the meeting itself to explore
ideas and build relationships, you can turn a room of mutually
suspicious turf battlers into an energetic team with shared ownership of
the end-product and the kind of bond that can sustain the group through
the challenges ahead.</description>

      <title>Create a Simple Mailto Form</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/03/create-a-simple-mailto-form.htm</link>
      <description>Mailto forms are a popular way to get simple forms up on websites
quickly. They are great because they are so easy to use and require no
programming to do - just an email address. But remember that mailto
forms &lt;a

  have problems&lt;/a&gt;

      <title>Oldy But Goody: Are Cookies Dangerous?</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/08/02/oldy-but-goody-are-cookies-dangerous.htm</link>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://html.about.com/library/weekly/aa082498.htm"&gt;Cookies&lt;/a&gt;
 have been around on the web for a long time. And when they first came
out there was a huge backlash about the dangers of HTTP cookies and how
they would invade your &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/privacy/Privacy_and_the_Web.htm"&gt;privacy&lt;/a&gt;
. But the reality is that &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/cs/cookies/a/aa071300a.htm"&gt;cookies
  aren't dangerous&lt;/a&gt;
 and they only invade your privacy if you let them.</description>

  is an online HTML editor. I found it while I was looking for HTML
  editors that can edit HTML 5 and CSS 3. This tool does not make a
  great editor for building entire sites, but if you're looking for a
  way to test how HTML 5 and CSS 3 tags and properties might look, it's
  a great tool. You just go in and type up the HTML and CSS you want to
  see rendered and it will display it in the same window. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Unicorn Will Help you Validate Everything</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/31/unicorn-will-help-you-validate-everything.htm</link>
      <description>The &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/w3c/a/what_is_w3c.htm"&gt;W3C&lt;/a&gt;
 announced on July 27th a new all-in-one &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlvalidators/tp/best_html_validators.htm"&gt;validator&lt;/a&gt;
 called &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/"&gt;Unicorn&lt;/a&gt;
. What's fabulous about this validator is that now you can check your &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlxhtmltutorials/p/learnhtml.htm"&gt;HTML&lt;/a&gt;
, your &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningcss/p/learncss.htm"&gt;CSS&lt;/a&gt;
, and your &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/rss/a/what_is_rss.htm"&gt;RSS&lt;/a&gt;
 all in one place. You just type in your URL (or upload a file or paste
in the code you want checked) and Unicorn will check it all for you. One
thing I found when validating one site I wrote is that the blog template
didn't include the blog's RSS feed in the HTML. I'll definitely need to
fix that (and all the other errors it found!!).  &lt;p&gt;
  &lt;b&gt;More...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Oldy But Goody: Centering with CSS</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/30/oldy-but-goody-centering-with-css.htm</link>
      <description>One of the most commonly asked questions I get about CSS is &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningcss/a/aa012207.htm"&gt;how
  to center things&lt;/a&gt;
. It was really easy when we just used the &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/g/bldefdeprecated.htm"&gt;deprecated&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_center.htm"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 tag. But trying to do it with CSS can sometimes be very frustrating.
That's because CSS treats &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/g/bldefblocklevel.htm"&gt;block-level&lt;/a&gt;
 elements differently from &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/g/bldefinlineelem.htm"&gt;inline elements&lt;/a&gt;
 (except &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_img.htm"&gt;&amp;lt;img /&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;
, which is a &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/a/bltags_blocktag.htm"&gt;block-level tag&lt;/a&gt;
, but it centers like an inline tag). In my &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningcss/a/aa012207.htm"&gt;centering
  with CSS&lt;/a&gt;
 article, I teach you how to center anything on your page. I even show
you how to center things vertically. And if that's not enough, you can
learn how to &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/ht/htcsscenterfix.htm"&gt;center
  a document with a fixed width layout&lt;/a&gt;
 and &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/ht/htcsscenterliq.htm"&gt;center
  a document with a liquid layout&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;div style="width: 200.0px;float: left;margin: 0 0.5em 0.5em 0;" /&gt;
 Being a web designer is like any other creative pursuit. Every so often
you'll need to &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/content/a/aa080707.htm"&gt;recharge
  the creative batteries&lt;/a&gt;
. I enjoy &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/content/a/aa052499.htm"&gt;brainstorming&lt;/a&gt;
 to help me get unblocked, but I also will get inspiration from nature,
my friends, and even books I'm reading. Of course, looking at other
websites can be inspiring as well. Some About.com readers have &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/u/ua/content/brainstorming.htm"&gt;shared
  their inspirations&lt;/a&gt;
 and you can too. What inspires your web design work?</description>

      <title>XSLT can transform your XML documents</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/27/xslt-can-transform-your-xml-documents.htm</link>
      <description>One of the things I like best about &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningxml/a/role-of-xml.htm"&gt;XML&lt;/a&gt;
 is how you can use it for so many different things. But when I first
started using it, I would create one XML document and then when I needed
another with similar content (but different &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningxml/a/xml-child-elements.htm"&gt;XML elements&lt;/a&gt;
) I would just write a new XML document. When I finally figured out
about &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/xslt/a/purpose-of-xslt.htm"&gt;XSLT&lt;/a&gt;
 I was ecstatic. XSLT lets you take a set of data in an XML document and
convert it into another XML document. I have used it for converting
articles from a &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/contentmanagement/g/bldefcms.htm"&gt;CMS&lt;/a&gt;
 into HTML (&lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/cs/xhtmlxml/a/aa013100a.htm"&gt;XHTML&lt;/a&gt;
, actually) and for converting an &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/rss/a/what_is_rss.htm"&gt;RSS&lt;/a&gt;
 feed into a website. And Darla has a multi-page &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/xslt/a/xslt-tutorial-1.htm"&gt;XSLT Tutorial&lt;/a&gt;
 where you'll learn the basics of XSLT, how to &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/xslt/a/xslt-tutorial-2.htm"&gt;set
  up an XSLT output stream&lt;/a&gt;
, how to &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/xslt/a/xslt-tutorial-3.htm"&gt;use
  the value-of element&lt;/a&gt;

      <title>Oldy But Goody: What is the Meta Refresh Tag?</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/26/fun-with-redirects.htm</link>
      <description>I thought it would be interesting this summer to take a look at some of
my older articles that you may have missed. All of these articles have
been re-worked and refreshed for your edification and enjoyment. And I
thought I'd start with an article about &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/metataglibraries/a/aa080300a.htm"&gt;the
  meta refresh tag&lt;/a&gt;
. This is a tag that was originally created to refresh the current page,
to add interactivity and allow the designer to make changes and updates
without the reader needing to do anything. But browsers quickly added on
the ability to load a new page rather than just the current one. And
that's what &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/u/ua/metataglibraries/how_use_meta_refresh.htm"&gt;most
  people use the meta refresh tag&lt;/a&gt;
 for. But keep in mind that search engines don't like you to use the
meta refresh tag to redirect pages permanently. Some &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://google.about.com/od/searchengineoptimization/tp/badseo.htm"&gt;black-hat&lt;/a&gt;
 designers used them to scam people and search engines to get higher
rankings. So, it's best for &lt;a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/seo/a/seo_checklist.htm"&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt;
 to use a &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/http/a/aa021207.htm"&gt;301
  server redirect&lt;/a&gt;
 instead if you need to redirect a page permanently.</description>

      <title>Web Design Software Pick of the Week: Yahoo! YUI Library</title>

      title="Screen shot by J Kyrnin" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sometimes
  the easiest way to learn a web design technique is to borrow from
  someone else. Now, a lot of designers will get angry if you borrow
  their code, but Yahoo! has put together an entire library of scripts
  and CSS that you can use to create interactive websites. There are two
  versions of the YUI framework. &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/2/"&gt;Version
  2&lt;/a&gt; has been available since 2006 and is very robust and proven. If
  you're working on sites that need interactivity, but also need to be
  very reliable, then this is the version you should use. &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/"&gt;Version
  3&lt;/a&gt; is what they call their &amp;quot;next generation&amp;quot; library. It
  hasn't been as widely tested, and includes things that might be more
  cutting edge. But if you're building sites that need more advanced
  (often beta) interactivity options, this is the version for you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;JavaScript and CSS Framework: &lt;a

      <title>Poll: What is your job title?</title>

 Working as a Web Designer/Web Developer/Web Programmer/etc. hasn't
changed astronomically in the years I've been writing this site, but
have the job titles? If you are a freelancer, choose the title you're
most likely to introduce yourself as. My job title has changed several
times in the past 10 years. I originally was a Webmaster, then it
changed to Web Developer and Web Manager. Now, I am a Web Designer. I
have also worked as an Information Architect and Web Producer. What's
interesting to me is that the work I do as a Web Designer isn't
radically different from what I did as a Webmaster back when I first
started. Yes, the languages I use have changed, but the work is
remarkably similar. What is your job title? And how has it changed since
you started doing web design work?</description>

      <title>JavaScript Minification Part II</title>
      <link>http://www.alistapart.com/articles/javascript-minification-part-II/</link>
      <description>Variable naming can be a source of coding angst for humans trying to
understand code. Once you&amp;rsquo;re sure that a human doesn&amp;rsquo;t need
to interpret your JavaScript code, variables simply become generic
placeholders for values. Nicholas C. Zakas shows us how to further
minify JavaScript by replacing local variable names with the YUI Compressor.</description>

      <title>Does anyone still use two spaces after a period?</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/19/does-anyone-still-use-two-spaces-after-a-period.htm</link>
      <description>Younger web designers may be surprised to learn that the convention for
typing used to require that you use two spaces after a period to help
readers see the end of sentences in the &lt;a&gt;monospaced&lt;/a&gt;
 fonts that typewriters used. In fact, if you learned to type on a
typewriter, chances are it was very hard to break yourself of the habit
(or perhaps you never did). In fact, most typesetting and desktop
publishing manuals will tell you that you should &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/typespacing/a/onetwospaces.htm"&gt;only
  use one space after periods&lt;/a&gt;
. And of course, web browsers &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningtutorials/f/blfaqwhitespace.htm"&gt;collapse
  multiple spaces&lt;/a&gt;
, so it's hard to get two spaces to show up. But it is possible and some
people still insist on it. What do you think? &lt;h3&gt;Using Whitespace&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;

  designer you will find that you often build sites and pages the same
  way every time. Many people make themselves more efficent by creating
  templates of their base sites, but deploy* goes one step further and
  creates the files themselves for you. You can change options like what
  version of HTML to use (XHTML or not - no HTML 5), CSS with or without
  resets (or no CSS), jQuery library with plugins or not, and some other
  miscellaneous options. You can even name your deploy* solution and
  bookmark the results page to deploy the same options again later.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Alternating Row Styles in Tables is Easy with CSS 3</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/12/alternating-row-styles-in-tables-is-easy-with-css-3.htm</link>
      <description>One of the most common ways to style a table is to change the background
colors of every other row. But with CSS 2 and below, the only way to do
this is to set classes on every other row and then write styles for
those classes. CSS 3 offers an exciting way to handle this problem
without adding any additional HTML attributes or tags. &lt;h3&gt;Additional
  CSS 3 Techniques&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

      title="Screen shot by J Kyrnin" width="334" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This
  generator creates an interesting background image for your website.
  You input between two and four color values (hex) and it will generate
  a tiling image that uses gradually changing dots on a gradient
  background. I created one image based on the colors of my blog, and
  then tried it out using the random option. It was fun playing around
  with this generator to see how the different colors interacted to
  create whole new designs. Once you've found a background you like you
  can just save the background image. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The future of XML</title>
      <link>http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/07/10/the-future-of-xml.htm</link>
      <description>A while ago I received a &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/06/18/xml-schema-will-help-you-build-better-xml.htm#comment-1"&gt;comment
  on my blog&lt;/a&gt;
 asking: &lt;blockquote&gt;Regarding XML, wasn't that what xhtml was all
  about, but was never really utilized. Thus we are headed back for html
  5? So what does the future hold for xml or am I totally off the mark?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/b/2010/06/18/xml-schema-will-help-you-build-better-xml.htm#comment-3"&gt;Darla&lt;/a&gt;
  answered his initial question, but I think she was intrigued by his
  second question &amp;quot;What does the future hold for XML?&amp;quot; In her
  latest article, &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningxml/a/future-of-xml.htm"&gt;What
    is the Future of XML?&lt;/a&gt;, Darla discusses the direction of XML and
  some of the many ways that it is expanding and growing and getting
  even more interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the ways that XML is getting more and more use is through &lt;a
  href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/rss/"&gt;RSS&lt;/a&gt;.
  If you run a weblog, you are probably serving XML in the form of RSS
  whether you knew it or not. Darla's article, &lt;a
    href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;amp;zu=http://webdesign.about.com/od/rss/a/xml-for-rss.htm"&gt;How
    to Create XML for an RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;, explains how those feeds work and
  the XML behind them.&lt;/p&gt;
