  • Your website is designed, the CMS works, content has been added and the client is happy. It’s time to take the website live. Or is it? When launching a website, you can often forget a number of things in your eagerness to make it live, so it’s useful to have a checklist to look through as you make your final touches and before you announce your website to the world. This article reviews some important and necessary checks that web-sites should be checked against before the official launch — little details are often forgotten or ignored, but – if done in time – may sum up to an overall greater user experience and avoid unnecessary costs after the official site release.

  • Popcorn Confessions is all about movie reviews. But more than that, it's about your movie reviews. This site was built based on the idea that the best movie reviews and recommendations are the ones we get from friends, rather than some stranger in the newspaper. Here you can be the critic. You can share your enlightened opinions on what movies rocked, which ones sucked, and why. And you can share your opinions with friends, share movie recommendations, and vote on others' movie reviews. Just finish watching a great movie? Review it. Want to see a movie but not sure if it's any good? Look around. Befriend people. As the first social network built entirely around movies and reviews, you'll get out of this site what you put into it.
  • It was a hostile audience. It was June 2007, at a conference center in London, where newspaper and magazine publishers were hearing how a new industry-backed search engine rights standard called ACAP was coming along. The day ended with an "issues" oriented panel. The audience didn't seem that pleased with me telling them they were full of shit about how important they thought they were and how awful they thought they had it from Google in particular. I didn't phrase it like that, but that was the essence of my attitude. I'd rarely encountered so many people in one place with such a sense of entitlement. Worse, these were supposedly my own people. Newspaper folks, where I got my start in journalism. What an embarrassment. I'm not talking the rank-and-file of newspapers, however — the reporters and editors doing the grunt work. This crowd was full of publishers or editors of a different type, not wordsmithing and story assignment but looking out for the business issues.

As of October 2008, new online merchants with over 20,000 transactions per year cannot even recieve an online merchant account if they are not compliant in one way or another. However, beginning this year merchant account providers will start to "decertify" non-PABP applications, revok merchant accounts that are not using PABP certified applications and deny merchant applications to new applications that are not PABP certified. In 2010, all merchants will be required to be using a PABP certified application.
  • Many people, designers included, think that typography consists of only selecting a typeface, choosing a font size and whether it should be regular or bold. For most people it ends there. But there is much more to achieving good typography and it’s in the details that designers often neglect. These details give the designer total control, allowing them to create beautiful and consistent typography in their designs. While these details can be applied across different types of media, in this articles we’re going to focus on how to apply them to web design using CSS. Here are 8 simple ways you can use CSS to improve your typography and hence the overall usability of your designs.

  • (CNN) — Experts watched warily Wednesday as a worm infecting millions of computers activated itself as predicted on April 1. However fears the Conficker.c worm would cause chaos have so far proved unfounded, with no reports of major problems. "As long as you've patched or at least brought your antivirus software up to speed, you should be fine," said Chris Pirillo, a tech expert for CNN.com. And there are plenty of anti-virus software packages available. "I believe just about everybody out there," Pirillo said, "has a removal tool." Still, the worm could cause problems, he said. Unlike viruses, worms self propagate, spreading by networks. "Once it's out there, it's very difficult to stop," Pirillo said.
