I think today’s the first time I write about something I can’t access, since it seems only a few chosen ones can do that, for now, but I’ll do it anyway, because codesnipp.it looks like a really interesting resource for Web developers, at least from what I’ve heard and read here and there…

Hailing from Nashville, codesnipp.it is described as “a social site for developers to post their snippets, follow and share code with other devs and get coding help,” providing [...]

Some online services are more interesting than the others, and today’s Zoom.it could be considered anything from “pointless” to “outstanding,” but this has nothing to do with the fact that some people hate Microsoft, while others love it. Being able to zoom into various images isn’t something new, but with Zoom.it, at least you won’t have to download them and then do the zoom thing using your favorite image editor…

When it comes to using Zoom.it, everything’s pretty straightforward: you add [...]

Still using Twitter? To be honest, I discovered a few interesting people using it so far, and more than enough spammers – or simply people I have nothing in common with. Should I start taking it seriously? Nope, no way, but as long as it may help some of you, I’ll get back to it from time to time, and today’s the right moment to talk about QuoteURL, an interesting replacement to the original script allowing interactive tweet embedding, [...]

Remember Load Impact? It doesn’t really matter if you don’t, but if you do, you can forget about it! The reason is today’s topic, another free Web-based speed analyzer for your site. As you probably know, it’s official – Google is taking speed into account when awarding search rankings, so… you must know where’s your site spinning, right?

GTMetrix uses two analyzing engines from the big ones in the industry, namely Google Page Speed and Yahoo YSlow, providing enough information to [...]

Jobless? Oh, well, you’re probably not the only one in this situation, since I happen to know quite a few people who lost their jobs recently. Anyway, you shouldn’t bother too much about that; after all, there’s always room for good people somewhere… and today, the time has come to tell you about a Twitter-powered job search engine!

I know, I know – this may not have too much to do with Web development, but I think it could be pretty [...]

Time tracking software helps you increase an employee’s time management abilities and provide employees direct feedback on their targets versus productivity. If you have a small business or you are developer or an engineer or a student you should use a free application.

Colorhat is a free time management and time tracking software. At this time Colorhat is a single user system but soon it will also be available a multiuser functionality via friend and sharing functions. If you want to [...]

No matter if your important stuff is located on some server in a datacenter or on your own computer, saving backups to some external device is always a good idea. Same thing is true for your databases, and no matter how reliable your own server/paid hosting service may be, using a tool like phpMyBackupPro can’t be anything else but a very clever move.

According to the official page, “phpMyBackup Pro is a very easy to use, free, web-based MySQL backup application,” [...]

One of the most painful parts of setting up a WordPress blog – at least for me – is choosing the theme. There are plenty of awesome free themes, as well as commercial ones, but it still feels the best when you do it yourself. The problem is that most theme generators don’t come for free, so finding a free online tool for creating WordPress themes really made my day!

WordPress Theme Generator allows you to create your own WordPress [...]

Working with people who are not in the same room with you can be a blessing, or a curse, depends a lot on the tasks you have to accomplish, the people you work with, and your own style of work. Speaking for myself, I usually enjoy working on my own, but when I have to team up with someone, I would rather do this remotely, and so I started my quest for the best online collaboration tool…

While Open Atrium may [...]

Any serious designer shouldn’t mess with Web-based site creation tools… or at least that’s what I was almost sure of some years ago. Now, I think that using online resources like Wix can’t hurt, at least in the early stages of a site’s development. Even more, you can come up with quick low-budget designs that won’t look low-budget at all, but let’s see what’s so special about today’s pick, shall we?

With Wix, there’s no need to download anything or learn [...]
