Digital graphics are largely dependent on the software used to create them. Given the clean, pixel-perfect nature of Photoshop, artworks always risk looking too perfect therefore it’s important to learn how to bring nature’s random variations into our digital creations. In this tutorial we’ll create an atmospheric poster for a dance party using the textured, retro look that’s so popular nowadays.

Update (19.06.2010 11:00): I've successfully moved 2 website. I tried to move THIS (lopressure.com) site and failed completely. I used the same method and steps as I had employed for the two successful moves (this site is being moved to the same host as the other two) however it didn't work. Blank page. Nothing displayed. I had to resort to changing back the nameservers and abandoning the move. Now I'm trying to discover what happened. More on this as information reveals answers.

Update (19.06.2010 11:43): I've created the new database, added the default user and used the current backup to populate the new database. I've updated the nameservers once more. Let's see what happens.

Update (19.06.2010 17:12): I've fixed the display/database problem. I had neglected to add my newly created MySQL user to my newly created MySQL database. Once that had been done my lopressure.com site loaded up with no problems.

So the steps are as follows:

There are many methods available for email obfuscation. I have chosen one, CSS direction reversal, as my personal favourite. It's lightweight, supported by all modern browsers, easy to implement and deploy and effective.

Simply put, we create a CSS style that reverses the displayed direction of any text to which the style is applied. For an email address we add the REVERSED text to the web page and apply the custom style. When this page is viewed in a browser the visitor will see the email address in the usual, readable direction however any person, or harvester, who copies this email address text will only be able to copy the reversed text as it is coded into the page. Email harvesters do not process CSS rules.

Here's an example - try to copy & paste it:

gro.liamon@0-elpmaxe

One drawback with this method is that the email address cannot be linked using "mailto:". If you want to provide a linked email address you will have to use another method, such as that provided by Heal Your Church Web Site. This tool lets you create an obfuscated, linked email address.

It's been my experience that almost all of my clients, both potential and actual, want to show "high in Google". One client in particular is very concerned about this aspect of his on-line business. He has just enough knowledge of the internet, and search engine optimisation in particular, to convince him that there exists some magic arcane wizardry that will propel his site up the Google rankings and he wants me to sacrifice whatever animals are required to make this happen for him.

Throughout the time I've known this client I have repeatedly talked about such concepts as writing excellent content, appealing to his target market, creating an enjoyable, feature-rich worthwhile site and the value these could have in powering a site up through the Google atmosphere.

It's a pleasant feeling to find an article that reflects my own beliefs and ideas, shares my philosophy for web development and so I've shared it here.

You can pick any two.

This is the Designers' One Rule. When creating a project, clients may choose only two options - they can't have it all. It's a "rule" for Life that applies aptly to design - clients simply have to deal with it. And we, as Web designers, must also accept this as fact.

And so, here it is:

GOOD service FAST won't be CHEAP

Choose Good and Fast and we will postpone every other job, cancel all appointments and stay up 25-hours a day just to get your job done. Of course don't expect it to be Cheap.

GOOD service CHEAP won't be FAST

Choose Good and Cheap and we will do a great job for a discounted price however you'll have to be patient until we have some free time from paying clients.

FAST service CHEAP won't be GOOD

Choose Fast and Cheap and you can expect an inferior job delivered on time. You truly get what you pay for and in our opinion this is the least favorable choice of the three. In fact we most likely won't even offer this option - financially it's a poor choice for us and professionally we don't wish to be associated with low-quality work.

There is no setting within the sNews Administration console that allows me to adjust the time zone. It's necessary to open snews.php and add the following code, somewhere near the top of the file.

The function date_default_timezone_set() has been available since PHP v5.1.

I have used Europe/London (I could have used Europe/Dublin, or Europe/Edinburgh - each is within the same time zone as my home town). Replace Europe/London with your own choice from this list.

An alternative method is to use

in your .htaccess file.
