Blurry Text & Simple Snapshots With HTML & CSS3
I was reading the latest post on Ajaxian and found Marcin Wichary (the creator of the Google Pacman Logo) to be an absolute genius with some very interesting ideas. Thought I'd try out a couple of them here, so to start with here's some blurry text: Blurry Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed dapibus arcu sit amet erat feugiat accumsan. Morbi rutrum dui a lacus sollicitudin in accumsan quam vestibulum. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Donec sed sapien mi, ut bl...

YUITip - Simple JavaScript Tooltip For YUI

Pure CSS Speech Bubbles
I love CSS3. If you're viewing this in a decent modern browser (not Internet Explorer) then you can probably see that because of the amount I use. I do, however, always try to use progressive enhancement in my projects so that anything that looks great in the good browsers still looks presentable in other browsers. What I love most about CSS3 is how easy it is to do some of the things that used to be an absolute chore for us web developers. Simple things such as creating rounded corners for e...

The Universal Selector - A CSS Must Have?
During the creation of web pages the most difficult task set forth before any web developer is that of cross-browser compatibility. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and so forth, have their own default margins and padding for certain elements on the page, and the page itself. This means that when building a web site there are going to be differences between browsers in terms of display and layout. The Universal Selector is not as widely known as many of the CSS selectors beca...

How To Use The Twitter API
How To Use The Twitter APIThere are a few examples on the web about using the Twitter API, but I've noticed that more and more often they refer to using exec() commands in PHP which a lot of web hosts deny to their users automatically. This makes using the API a little tricky as the only other good method for using the service is with cURL.cURL is a PHP library written by Daniel Stenberg, that allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of p...
