You want to get more done and work less? Better start looking objectively on your work. Here are 3 tips that I use to get more done.

So it’s been a little over a month since big G released their ad manager. And I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at it. I must say it is far easier to get started with than some of the other ad serving platforms, I think Google has got themselves a winner here. If you don’t know what it is then take a look at Googles own introduction.

Have you tried it? And …

Some of them give up, some of them keep making small changes and some of them start spending big money on advertising. But most of them for get one very important aspect of web development - Thinking like your visitors.

Blueprint 0.7 - A CSS Framework (Thursday, April 10th, 2008)

Published by Thomas Fjordside in Graphic design at 9:24 pm with no comments.

So I came across the CSS framework Blueprint 0.7 which just came out about 2 month ago. I have tested it for two weeks and I must say it’s extremely light weight and easy to use.

But I still fail to see the point of using a framework to code your css files. I personally still feel like I have much more control when I just code my css files for each individual assignment. When …

I know that most experienced html/css coders will be saying “well of course!” to this one but a lot of newcomers doesn’t get this done right. Getting your body, container, p, h1, a etc. styles down will save you a bunch of time.

When you make …

Friendfeed.com and all the other new alternatives popping up? Do we need them? Do we need sites that aggregates all of the things going on, on 20 different networks. I know that I’m not gonna get everything read anyway - and this works fine for normal rss feeds but really I don’t feel a need to know everything my “friends” are doing online.

How about you? friendfeed.com are you a fan?
