Between a good design a good development there's a path in between that we all must cross which is converting your design into a functional website. An aspect to really consider now a days is loading time of the website. There are many variables that contribute to a site's load time which includes server and client aspects and everything in between. Today we will focus specifically on loading the images on the site and how you can optimize them for best performance.
Making a website or a blog now-a-days is not easy, given all the tools we have today compared to the early 90's means its not only easier for us but easier for others too. The competitive playground is just so big now a days. This is why your website not only has to be unique but has to cover a few basic things first. Here are some stats and guidelines to help you get started. As well as a look into the business aspect of making a website.
If you not only own your website but also develop and maintain it yourself then you should understand how hard it is if there weren't some already developed tools and web resources to help you with your work. Here I've listed some of my favourite development resource sites and should be yours too for your developing moments. If you don't have them all bookmarked yet, DO IT NOW!
I was looking at ways in which I could have built my websites differently today and came across the question. How can I guarantee my CSS rounded corners to be closer to 100% cross browser compatible. I came across a few sites with scripts and generators simplifying the tasks but most of them failed the browser test. I came up with a simple script that was simple and light. I'm not going to share the code. Now don't flame me yet. Instead I've made it easier for everybody. I've created the simple CSS rounded corners generator.
As I was setting up this blog I was disgusted by the bullets that were implemented to the menu on the right (they call it side bar). I thought to myself, no biggie, I'll just remove it when skinning/theming this thing. As I have built many themes for different forums in the past I believe this wouldn't be such a hard task. After some searching I have found this article, but by editing the CSS it did not work for me. So here I'm sharing a method to hard code out the bullets in the side bar of the default WordPress theme Kubrick.
