I remember me those days that seochat.com was a great resource for industrie news. :(

Thanks to advanced CSS properties, such as gradients and shadows, it's now quite easy to turn a dull web form into something beautiful - with minimal effort. I'll show you how in today's tutorial!

Great example on how-to create stylish forms with using a lot of images, just CSS-3, html and one background image

Working on a new theme for the next Digging into WordPress book update, I found myself really getting into the whole “widgetizing” thing. Widgets enable non-technical users to customize your theme according to their specific layout needs, and with so many different widgets available, the possibilities are endless. You may have thought about widgets as something you do in the sidebar, but there is no reason to stop there. You can widgetize just about every part of your theme. In this post, we’ll show you how to do widgetize your theme in two easy steps. Once we get the basics down, we’ll dig into some sweet tips and tricks.

Great information, next I like to know how to create widgets in Wordpress plugins

After viewing some recent rather interest experiments in CSS3, I decided to do some experimenting of my own. CSS3 brings a lot more variety to the table regarding what you can do with it when compared to CSS2.1. Rounded corners, scaling and rotations are all possible with just a basic knowledge of mathematics! It got me thinking, what could I create, using only CSS, that would normally require images? So, I decided to try and create some of the flags of the world.

Nice example on how-to use CSS to create stunning images

Closing this thread, it has long left productive uses and is annoying me so much I just want to quit the whole project.

These are clear words about what Matt is thinking!

As we all probably know by now, Google is about to kick Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 to the curbs. Following a whole bunch of other companies, Google’s explanation is simple: old browsers do not support advanced and current techniques for rich interactive web apps, including things like voice and video. Short after Google went public with this news, a Dutch webdesign firm started a website where developers protest against IE6 and support Google’s decision. And today, another group stood up to protest against Google’s decision.

Google gives a good sign: stop this thing what's called a browser. As a web developer it becomes impossible to find some old system with IE6 installed. Will say I can't test website for IE6 anymore. Please let us forget this Microsoft disaster...

Doing so is quite easy. First you have to use Gmail. As it is a free service, you can create a dedicated account for your monitoring alerts. Once finished, login to your account and click on the “Settings” link located on the top right side of the browser window.
Then, select “Forwarding and POP/IMAP”:

As shown in the previous screenshot, the only thing you have to do is to check “Forward a copy of incomming mail” and fill the field with your phone number @ your provider service.
For example, If your phone provider is AT&T, you’ll have to type 0000000000@mobile.att.net.

That would be great, a free forward via SMS, but sad enough most european providers doesn't provide this "free" service. You can't send this kind of SMS, but maybe you can use some cheap SMS provider instead of paying high prices for SMS bundles to monitoring services...

AWeber was recently the victim of an intentional attack to mine email addresses.

We’d like to take this opportunity to share what happened, what was (and was not) affected and what we’re doing as a result of this attack.

What Happened?

We use a variety of pieces of software to run different parts of our service and provide support to customers. Some of these are tools we have developed ourselves; others are third-party ones that we license from other companies.

By exploiting and combining vulnerabilities in two separate third-party software systems, the perpetrators managed to gain access to a part of our system where subscriber email addresses are stored.

We have received reports of some of those email addresses receiving spam messages. While the volume of these reports is low, we are treating this incident with the utmost seriousness and addressing it fully.

This is not nice for the owners of mailing lists, buidling a good mailing list is hard work and takes a lot of time (and money).
I hop that other provider like mailchimp raised the security to prevent there customers for this kind of data thieves.

Great and amusing information!

There are so many things that you can customize in WordPress, but one of the things that does not get a lot of attention is custom login page designs. WordPress is being used as a membership site, or site where user registration is allowed. In those cases it is wise for businesses to brand the login page with their logo and other aspects to give it a unique touch that it deserves. In this article we will be showing you how you can create a custom login page design in WordPress as well as showcasing some of the best WordPress login page designs.

Yeah the default login page is very ugly, I think the best would be a lightbox instead of a separate page
