By nature, WordPress is very powerful. It can be as complex or as simple as you wish. With that in mind, how much you want to use WordPress with your existing website is totally up to you. There may be only a few features of WordPress you want to use when integrating it with your site, or you may want your entire site run with WordPress. This tutorial will guide you through making your WordPress site look like your current design. We will start with how to make a WordPress blog look like the rest of your site. Then we can move on to making your entire site running on WordPress.
First, assume you have an existing site at http://myexample.com. Next, create a new sub-directory (folder) at your site and call it ‘blog’ (you could use something other than blog, but you must create this sub-directory). So you now have an empty sub-directory at http://myexample.com/blog/. Now, download WordPress and upload all of its files into this new folder, and install Wordpress. Read the rest of this entry »
Pictures talk a lot more than words do, so placing icon in websites and blogs in key areas will gain the attention of the readers. Web designers work a lot searching for best icons to include in the site and to make their site more effective and reachable. You can also use these icons to replace the icons on your computer folders, etc.. to make them look attractive and to able to know what the folder contains in a symbolic way.
Here you’ll find some of the best websites that offer various free icon set collections as well as just separate good collections in other sites, so browse through the sites and download the icon sets for free.

That’s all we needed, really, a new logo. Does anyone else feel the need to have this stitched onto a leotard with a cape?

We are getting a few emails with people asking if they should learn HTML 5 so today we will try and clear a few things up. As you know HTML 5 is going to be the next installment in Hyper Text Markup Language, this is quite a leap forward in terms of what has changed in the last five or so years, currently HTML 4.01 is the standard HTML being used and it wasn’t all that much of a change since upgrading from the previous HTML 2.0.
HTML 5 is going to be he next biggest thing since sliced bread(pardon my lame phrase it’s getting late) the new standard of code is going to allow for website developers, web masters and newcomers to create rich feature packed websites, not only websites in general HTML 5 can even be used to make desktop applications, online applications.
If your even slightly interested in making websites or applications then you really should learn HTML 5, the code itself is not all that different from the current code, all tho as this is a huge update to Hyper Text Markup Language there are plenty of new features and a whole lot of extra coding, it may sound a little scary at the moment as there are not many sites actually using HTML 5 this will start to change in the coming months. The reason not many sites are using HTML 5 already is due to the fact that only 2 out of about 20 different browsers can understand the new HTML 5 markup, In the coming weeks we will be making a HTML 5 website so that you can see just what it is capable of (you will need to download the Safari browser in order to view our HTML 5 examples).
We will be adding HTML 5 tutorials every few days so please come back shortly and you can learn HTML 5 with us.

|---|---|
| % | percentage |
| in | inch |

| em | 1em is equal to the current font size. 2em means 2 times the size of the current font. E.g., if an element is displayed with a font of 12 pt, then ‘2em’ is 24 pt. The ‘em’ is a very useful unit in CSS, since it can adapt automatically to the font that the reader uses |
| ex | one ex is the x-height of a font (x-height is usually about half the font-size) |
| pt | point (1 pt is the same as 1/72 inch) |
| pc | pica (1 pc is the same as 12 points) |
| px | pixels (a dot on the computer screen) |
| Value | Description |

The CSS3 text-shadow property has been around for some time now and is commonly used to recreate Photoshop’s Drop Shadow type shading to add subtle shadows which help add depth, dimension and to lift an element from the page. This isn’t all the text-shadow property is capable of though, by getting creative and playing around with the colours, offset and blurring we can create some clever and pretty cool text effects!
