Lolita inspiration, css trick and web tips

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

Oooo I like this article/tutorial on dynamic buttons using CSS.

The technique is very simple. If we want to have a dynamic-width button, we have to find a way to stretch it horizontally. We will accomplish this if we create two background images that will define the button: one for the left side and one for the right side.

I recently read yet another article about web design mistakes. I think it is important to at least look at these articles because sometimes I do learn something and with web development constantly changing it doesn't hurt to keep informed.

One mistake mentioned is not having a good page title. This is something I know and yet even still continue to forget from time to time when building new sites.

"A good title is critical for getting good search engine positions and the most vital thing - the click-through. With the title, you are always walking a tightrope. You need a title with your most important keyword near the beginning but it should still appeal to the human reading the results."

Lolita is a visual inspiration-bank, full of fantasies, dreams - a filter of colors and shadows, a silhouette in the dark. Hopefully making your pulse beat, body shiver.. The hand-picked images put together are also the basis of the story about a young Lolita, living in Stockholm, Sweden - inviting you to take a walk with her, in silence..

Initially I stumbled across Lolita under a graphic design pretense. I found their "the process" animated graphic which had me cracking up.

But there is a fount of inspiration at this website which goes way beyond graphics. Some of the photography on here is just so thoughtfully amazing that I have spent a great deal of time looking through their archives.

So check out Lolita >>

And have you seen photos of Britney Spears' new home?

It is beautiful and elegant in every respect. There is a library I literally spent time drooling over.

The 7,500 square feet home sports a pool, spa, three garages, 10 bedroom, 10 bathrooms, a bar, cinema and a library.

In terms of architecture and home design this one is 5 stars!
