Semantic Fanatics – people who take Web standards way too seriously
Dec 16, 2009 General, Website Coding
Working as a freelance website coder for 10 years now, I’ve long gotten used to relying on the Internet to have my questions answered and problems solved.
Now, I’m pretty strict to myself at trying to do my code properly. For instance, I would never add in a tag attribute without putting quotes around the attribute (i.e., width=”20″ instead of width = 20). That was one of the first things I learned in college when I started studying HTML — luckily I had a C programmer for a teacher who taught me high standards for coding.

Low cost templates instead of costly custom graphic design
Nov 24, 2009 General, Website Addons and Upgrades
Recently, a customer asked me how much it would cost him to get a new design for his site.

Getting the .ca domain name you want, and TBR unfairness
Nov 13, 2009 Canada Specific, General
So you finally thought of the perfect domain name for your business or personal website, but when you go to register it, it’s already taken. Sound familiar? Well, you might think it’s time to go back to the brainstorming session, but it might be best to check out a few things first.
One thing you should try, at first, is to type the domain name into your Web browser, and see if there is actually a website there already. If it looks like there is a real website there, you’re probably out of luck. If it seems like it’s not really being used, and you see something like an under construction, page not found, or a parked page with just a bunch of ads, then try doing a WHOIS search on the domain name to find out some information.
