Farewell IE6

Farewell IE6view story

http://sixrevisions.com The year was 2003. I was working on my first website out of college. It was a personal portfolio geared towards landing my first job in the industry. I was trying to build a site unlike anything prospective employers would have seen before. The grungy homepage wasn’t built with tables as my college education had taught me. I needed to create layers to allow my random Polaroid photo to change beneath its frame, so I used a bizarre element called a <div>. It was alien to me, but it worked. There was only one catch: Of the modern browsers of the day, it only worked on Internet Explorer 6. It was frustrating to think that my site would only work for those who kept their browsers up to date.

Is Blogging The Right Career Path For You?view story

http://www.dailyblogtips.com This is a guest post by Steve Roy. If you want to guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines here. To many, the world of blogging for income seems like a fantasy world. Internet marketing “gurus” are a dime a dozen and it seems like everywhere you look online, there’s a website claiming they can teach you the secrets to creating financial freedom. It all look so easy…but it’s not. Not even close! The profession of blogging is often misunderstood and gets far less credit that it deserves. People assume that all we do is sit at home in our underwear, surf the Internet, and write an article now and then.

Can Quora drive traffic?

Can Quora drive traffic?view story

http://www.conversationmarketing.com I'm addicted to Quora. There, I've said it. I know some folks have doubts. I love StackOverflow too. But something about Quora has me on there, all the time, answering questions. I do have an ulterior motive: If I can get on there and help lots of people out, I can build an audience. If I build an audience, that's one more pool of interested people who might someday hire my company, buy a book, etc.. See, I'm not actually addicted. I have business motives! I can quit any time I want. But that business motive means I gotta see Quora actually do something as a traffic or lead generator. So I've started keeping score.

People of HTML5 – Remy Sharpview story

https://hacks.mozilla.org HTML5 needs spokespeople to work. There are a lot of people out there who took on this role, and here at Mozilla we thought it is a good idea to introduce some of them to you with a series of interviews and short videos. The format is simple – we send the experts 10 questions to answer and then do a quick video interview to let them introduce themselves and ask for more detail on some of their answers. Today we are featuring Remy Sharp co-author of Introducing HTML5 and organiser of the Full Frontal conference in Brighton, England. Remy is one of those ubiquitous people of HTML5. Whenever something needed fixing, there is probably something on GitHub that Remy wrote that helps you. He is also very English and doesn’t mince his words much.
