Design ~ 28 comments All those Web galleries

With Web gallery, web developers and companies that want to have a presence on the internet have the ability to analyze the latest designs. Being showcased is great recognition and visibility for any web designer or developer, but at the same time its importance for companies/organizations that want to have web visibility is growing.

If your web site follows web standards, a screenshot in a Web gallery is the best way to instantly advertise, and a way gain credibility and to set your site apart. It’s the same as regular advertising: your product gets noticed if it’s good.

Design, Javascript ~ 8 comments Outline text with JS

During my work as frontend coder I had a task to place some white text on dynamic background image and the problems would accrue if background image was white so text wouldn’t be readable. This isn’t really every day requirement but it can be very useful. The solution I’m using is outline text JS, originally written by Anthony Ryan Delorie.

You can use this JavaScript in two ways, to outline text and to add shadow to text. It works in all major browsers. Click here for demo.

CSS, Design ~ 10 comments Make all content a link

Ever seen on some site whole content area with images etc as just one link? Usually there’s some hover for the background and they are mostly on the sidebars left or right or let’s say on the footer. You can see live example on previous version of my portfolio here - those links on the right. This tutorial will show you how to do that with CSS, and tell you something more about display:block; option.

In this simple example I will go with <li> tag for it, because I think it’s used more, but also you can apply this for <div> tag.
