Generate rounded CSS corners without images

CSS Rounded Corners Generator

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.

Here I have a quick script which allows you to generate random code with a defined length.

What is SSL and do I need SSL?

A lot of web developers or webmaster today over AND undermines the importance of SSL (Secure Socket Layer), not solid state drive (if you're in the wrong article the back button's located on your toolbar). SSL is a security feature or function to enhance the overall user experience and trust. In this article I will briefly explain what SSL is, how its used and if it is right for you.

Simple dynamic PHP sliding pagination

Categories :: PHP

The other day I was working on a website drawing out a content well over 400 rows of data. Displaying the data all on one page is a lot of stress for the user so I made a quick pagination script. By displaying 20 results per page would end up with 20 separate pages. Imaging laying out 1 to 20 across your website (ugly eh?) well it gets worst. Imagine this database doubles! Yes! We're now laying 1 to 40 across our website. So I made this simple dynamic slider in which it only displays a certain amount of pages to choose from and as you travel further it will list more pages.

How to left align text in WordPress post

Categories :: WordPress

Here I am working in WordPress and posting articles and little did I know articles were being posted justified aligned. This would make sense as blogs tend to have the newspaper/article written feel (sometimes). I did not like this at all as since grade 7 I started liking my writing to be left aligned. So if you're reading this you may have already noticed that the posting is in a left align format. I'll Show you how.

Removing bullets from WordPress default theme menu

Categories :: Web Development, WordPress

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.
