20 FREE Online CSS Resources to Quickly Enhance Your Website Design Abilities

Posted in Programming Tips on March 29th, 2011 by Admin

One of the biggest obstacles that webmasters face in their quest to creating a website is that of CSS design. Indeed, Cascading Style Sheets can be pretty frustrating to work with. Luckily for us, there are lots of online resources that provide already created and thoroughly tested code that does anything we could ask for. In this post i will be presenting you to various such resources that will hopefully help you a lot. I know that they have in my case :)

1. Listamatic – Ready Made Horizontal and Vertical CSS Lists

Would you like to create horizontal or vertical css lists and navigation menus for your website ? Search nowhere else. Listamatic is a great resource contains great examples of very stylized lists. The css is fully presented for each example and you can freely use it.

2. CSS Round Corners : Boxes With Curves

Ever wanted to create a box that is not rectangular in shape ? CSS can help you do that and this resource makes it a breeze for you. Round corners for boxes are quite a bit stylish and tend to be used a lot nowadays, so it really pays to visit this if you want to reproduce something like that.

3. CSS Layouts on Max Design

I can guarantee that you will absolutely love this. Want to create a liquid design ? Maybe want to have a 3 columned design ? Or even a middle sized right column ? This is a great and very important resource !

4. CSS Borders

Making a CSS border is something that you will most probably face when creating a website. w3schools provides you with the important information to create simple borders for your website needs.

5. CSS Image Gallery

An absolutely great and very easy to implement image gallery solely created in CSS. Great one to use if you would like to include photos as a gallery in your webpages.

6. CSS Image Maps

Have you seen those images that when you hover over an element you get some extra focus to it and maybe some information about it ? It could be a map of a United States that when you hover over a state, you get a popup describing you more about that state. These are called Image Maps and they are quiet easy to create, at least if you follow this tutorial.

7. CSS Bar Graphs

Want to create your own bar graphics ? Maybe wanting to present some percentage poll information or such? If so, this is the resource for you !

8. CSS Calendar With Notes Taking

Use this code to create your own calendar. You can also use the calendar to present some information about a certain day, like dates, things to do and such.

9. Create A “Print This Page” Version

Do you have posts that you want to create a “print this page” version too ? Luckily, this is pretty trivial using CSS and you can find all the information you need at this resource.

10. CSS Ratings Selector

Adding a rating system is very useful for very many webmasters. This Star Matrix is very easy to implement and looks pretty nice too. I’ve also happened to have used it many times in the past and it really is very stable and good looking.

11. Float Images Around Text

This is a very basic CSS technique that you can see at use at this page here. Notice that the image of this post floats at the left of the text you read at the beginning. If you want to learn more about this technique and be able to float whatever you want left or right, you should really take a look at this awesome website.

12. CSS Images With Captions

Want to create images that feature captions below them too ? It’s very easy to do as you can see !

13. LightBox Effect Using CSS Only

Have you seen those images that when you click on the whole browser gets gray and the image is presented to you closer to the screen, like popping out of the page ? This is called lightbox effect and is mostly creating using javascript techniques but this webpage explains how to do it properly using CSS only.

14. CSS Modern Forms

Smashingmagazine.com presents you to these great modern css forms to use. Most of them look really nice and are also very easy to implement.

15. Stylized CSS Blockquotes and Pullquotes

A really great and artistic way to create blockquotes and pullquotes to quote something or draw the visitor attention towards some text.

16. Advanced CSS Menu

If you are interested in creating a very fine and very eye pleasing CSS menu, you may want to take a closer look at this tutorial. You will find the full source code to creating a great CSS menu as the one described but you will need to read this through to do it. I can assure you, though, that it is really worth it.

17. Sticky CSS Footer

A simple but effective CSS footer that you can easily change to reflect your ideas. You can find the source code there and change it to whatever you feel is appropriate for you.

18. Style Tables Using CSS

Do you want to add some style to your HTML tables ? Well, i guess you do :)

19. Hyperlink Cues with CSS

These are the little icons that are shown right before a link. For instance, a link to an email address could appear a mail envelope icon. Very nice technique to use in order to add small chunks of style to your website.

20. CSS Drop Down Menus

Sometimes a drop down menu is a very nice addition to a website. This resource is incredible for such a creation. You will certainly find it very useful and it is very eye pleasurable too. Hope that you go about using those techniques in your own websites. I have used many of them at times and found them very useful and earned me lots of time. Wish the same for you too !

Broken Link Checker – All Free Again

Posted in Wordpress Plugin Programming on December 29th, 2010 by Admin

The “Pro” version of Broken Link Checker has been discontinued. All features that were previously paid-only have been merged into href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/broken-link-checker/">the free version. This includes (among others):

  • Internationalized domain name support.
  • The ability to check embedded videos from popular video hosting sites (e.g. YouTube).
  • The ability to check links to popular file hosting sites (e.g. RapidShare).
  • Plaintext URL support.
  • Custom post type support.
  • Search & replace for bulk URL editing.

In addition, the plugin now includes a call for donations and a single ad.

What does this mean for you?

Free users

If you already have the free version installed, you should receive an update notification within a few hours. After installing the update, you can enable the newly available features in Settings -> Link Checker. Some features – e.g. IDN support – are on by default and don’t need to be enabled explicitly.

Pro users

If you own the Pro version of the plugin, I recommend moving to the free version. Just deactivate Broken Link Checker Pro and install href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/broken-link-checker/">version 1.2.2 from WordPress.org. Your settings and data will be retained, and you will not lose any features.

Caution: Do not click the “Uninstall” link to remove the Pro version unless you want to erase your current settings. Instead, delete the /wp-content/plugins/broken-link-checker-pro/ directory via FTP.

Also, check the status of your update subscription (if you have one). It should be cancelled automatically, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure. Just in case, href="http://daveosborne.com/safe/cancelPayPal.php">here’s how you can cancel a PayPal subscription manually.

Analysis

Ultimately, the reason why I decided to drop the Pro version was very simple: “If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something else.” The purpose of every commercial plugin is to make money for its developers. The way I tried to achieve this with Broken Link Checker Pro was to offer a bunch of extra features and priority support for those willing to pay a small fee. However, after tracking sales stats for a several months and reviewing the results of a recent user survey, it became eminently clear that this approach wasn’t working.

Full disclosure: just before the Pro version was discontinued, Broken Link Checker had

  • 60 000 free users (estimated).
  • 70 paid users.
  • 39 active subscriptions.

That’s a free-to-paid conversion rate of around 0.11%, which is downright horrible even for a freemium product.

There are many things that can kill your conversion rate, but I think in this particular case the cause was straightforward: nobody cared about the Pro features. For 99% of users, the free version would be perfect – or at least good enough. A user survey confirmed this suspicion. The same survey also revealed that there was no must-have feature that I could implement to dramatically increase the attractiveness of the Pro version.

I could’ve tried removing features from the free version, but that’s 1) nearly impossible for an open-source application and 2) Evil™.

After much thought, I decided to drop the Pro version entirely and try something completely different* – all features for free, a prominent call for donations, and an ad on the settings page. I don’t know what the results will be, but I’m sure they’ll be interesting.

*In case you’re wondering, this model was inspired by href="http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/">Google Analytics and href="http://semperfiwebdesign.com/portfolio/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/">All In One SEO Pack.

The Black Sheep: Free iPhone Apps Snoop Contacts

Posted in IPhone App Programming on November 29th, 2010 by Admin

Blackhat has started and not surprisingly, there is quite a bit of information coming out of Las Vegas that relates to the iPhone. Lookout revealed some results from its App Genome project, which analyzed about 300,000 apps that are available for the iPhone and Android. Sometimes you get what you pay for and that may be true in the case of iPhone apps as well, in a rather negative way.

Lookout said that one third of free applications for the iPhone can potentially access a user’s location. 14% can access a user’s contacts and 23 of iPhone apps contain third party code. According to the company, new vulnerabilities will be unveiled at Blackhat, including mobile data leakage, which, however, seems to affect Android more than the iPhone.

Lookout noted that App developers need to “be more aware of best practices for accessing, transmitting and storing users’ personal data. In addition, consumers need to be aware of the permissions that mobile applications request and how that personal data is being used in the application.“

Sounds reasonable to us. Given its exposure, the iPhone has become a very attractive target platform for malicious intent. And boy, opening up the platform to all apps, whether they are App Store certified or not, may create an entirely different dimension of software threats.

How to Use the Linux Df Command to Calculate Disk Free Space

Posted in Programming Tips on November 3rd, 2010 by Admin

harddisk 150x150 How to Use the Linux Df Command to Calculate Disk Free SpaceIf you’re mostly a Windows user or programmer and are porting to linux, you may be thinking that a command that would help you determine the free disk space of your computer would be pretty useful. Luckily, there exists such a tool and is called DF (Display Free disk space).

To get information about the disk space on your system, you can just execute :

df -h

-h stands for Humanly readable, so it’s pretty easy to remember. Upon execution, you get back something like :


Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2   113Gi   89Gi   23Gi    80%    /
...

This example is generated on my macintosh pc, so it may defer in your case. As you can see, i have a total of 113GBytes on free space and i’m currently using 89GBytes (hmm, i have to free up some space). This leaves me with 23GBytes on available free disk space and thus i’m using 80% of the hard disk capacity.
