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 [...]

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, [...]

Sometimes, I really want to kill the people behind sites with multimedia content. Fortunately, it’s about those sites with loud background music starting automatically, and no obvious Mute button. When it comes to slideshows and animated banners, I usually have nothing against them. Hey, I even enjoy such things, as long as I get to see some useful content around, too!

Blockster can help those working on a website to easily create featured content sliders that offer a wide range of [...]

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 [...]

When something becomes really popular on the Web, there’s always something good about it, no matter how bad could be the popular thing by itself (think about “two girls one cup” and the videos showing people’s reactions to it, for example). While I can’t say I am in love with Twitter, I have a Twitter account that I use from time to time (that meaning “almost monthly”) and checking out backgrounds and icons for this microblogging service was always something [...]

It seems too much time has passed since we talked about online pattern, texture, or even button generators, and today I will try to add one more item to this large category of online design elements generators. Sure, some may say there’s nothing special about such tools, and they may even be right, but they should also admit that, at least sometimes, it’s better to play with some already-made elements, instead of looking on Google Images for the right thing… [...]

As far as I can remember, we never talked about Load Impact and, to be honest, I can’t recall ever seeing this excellent resource… until now. Since I happened to bump into such a useful tool, I thought you also have to know a few things about it, because every site owner or Web developer working on a site dream about huge amounts of traffic, but I am also sure they have nightmares about too much of it!

More than [...]

Windows Operating System is the most used operating system today. Unfortunately people forget you can get alot more speed from the system by editing what Services are running. Let`s say you don`t have a printer. This way you don`t need the print service running. Stopping services requires knowledge about each one to prevent stopping an important service.

To do this in a safe way you can install an application like Ashampoo Winoptimizer or Tuneup Utilities or you can do it online [...]

Creating a site isn’t that hard, but making it work properly on a few dozen different browsers, and most of them, with different behaviors depending on the operating system… now, that’s art! Since installing a few operating systems and running all those browsers to test your pages would really be a productivity killer, please let me show you something that’s going to make your life a lot easier…

… and that “something” has a very suggestive name: Browsershots. The idea behind [...]

One of my morning “rituals” includes jumping around the house, having some fruits, and then checking email/news, as well as spending a few peaceful moments enjoying some images, usually professional pictures of fruits/vegetables/remote places. No need to get into detail more than that, but I am sure you’ll agree with me that a site for those who have similar habits would be nice, as long as you have enough images that you can freely use and the right script to [...]
