My week on the web
Here are the websites I bookmarked into my del.icio.us account over the past seven days:
- Slamdot | easy web hosting and domain registration
Slamdot takes the pain out of web hosting. You can manage your website, domain registration, billing details, and get support — all from the same place. Smallest plan is 11USD/month but it gives plenty of storage, bandwidth, databases and accounts. - Cellity | free text messages and Twitter
Low-cost international and conference calls from your mobile, and free text messages and Twitter (best if you have an unlimited data plan) - Layout Grid Bookmarklet | overlay a grid on any websit with one click
Photoshop style Layout Grid Bookmarklet to overlay a grid on any website for design purposes. Also link to a related show/hide layout grid bookmarklet. - FitDay | Free online weight loss and diet journal
Get your free online diet journal and start tracking your foods, exercises, weight loss, and goals. View your Calories, Nutrition, Weight Loss and more. - RealJock | online gay fitness community
'Gay sports and gay fitness for gay jocks, athletes, and fitness buffs.' Good workout plans. And the eye candy's not too bad either. - Performancing WordPress Themes | free and ultra-high quality
'Performancing WordPress Themes are free, ultra-high quality WordPress themes for your blog.' Great if you can't/won't design or code and want a ready-made solution at the touch of a button. - Float clearing | div clear or br clear all?
A rule (clearit) to replace the deprecated 'clear' attribute. - Simple, accessible "more" links | use CSS to hide the full description
CSS can be used to hide the full description of the link (from CSS-supporting browsers) while allowing older devices and screen readers to receive the entire content. - How-to style WordPress author comments
simple tutorial on how-to style author comments under WordPress without the need for extraneous plugins. What we’re going to do is instruct WordPress to identify specific author emails and assign a unique class name to each. - Coin Flip | application to flip a virtual coin on an iPhone
Coin flipping application for iPhone. Marvellous. And of course absolutely superfluous (although true, these days I often leave all my change at home and only use cards). - How do I design web pages for the iPhone? | CSS rules for smaller resolutions
Because the iPhone looks at the "screen" media type, just like your desktop browser does, you need to specify that a set of CSS rules apply only when the screen is smaller than a certain resolution. - Opera Mini 4 Released | The Death Of The Handheld Style Sheet
As more and more mobile browsers ignore media=handheld, the future lies in media queries and CSS3. - Handheld media type test | page to point your browser at
Point your browser to this page, and it will tell you if your mobile device applies any of the links to 'media=handheld'. - How to reduce file sizes in Word documents
