Where you there?! Actually, I wasn't having been born in '75. Still, it's nice to hear some of this Mars music again - it still sounds like it's from another planet rather than this one.

Here's my brief run through blog posts that caught my attention in April (this entry also covers March as I didn't have time to write a round-up last month).
They cover the weird and wacky world of SEO and the latest news from the CSS3, PHP and JavaScript fronts.
I hope ...
There's been some really interesting SEO and web design items that have caught my attention this month.

Not since the death of animated GIFs and Java applets have I had the misfortune to visit such an appalling hotel website.
No, not every hotel website has the high usability and design standards of Premier Inn.
Tucked away in the corner of German website munich-info.de y...
It's easy to forget how much the World Wide Web has progressed over the last decade and how seamlessly it has blended in with our everyday activities, but exactly 10 years ago – in the UK at least – all online activity was via dial-up metered access (per minute billing), the most cutting edge browser on th...
Connell Associates Solicitors have been in existence for some years now I presume that they are not a Mickey Mouse outfit as they are members of the Law Society; however, their grasp of the English language on their homepage is so appallin...

I was always a drum'n'bass rather than garage man but there were some classic tracks from the 90s garage period.

Generally speaking when it comes to web hosting you get what you pay for. If you pay a small annual fee for a shared hosting account then don't expect lightning quick responses when you lodge a query or complaint. For instance, despite what a shared hosting company might claim on their website, don't expect a ...
For many of us the Muppets were an essential part of our childhood. Amazingly sharp script writing gave it a position amongst children and adults that the Simpsons occupies today.
A new set of shorts videos from the Muppet creators has been launched on our favourite streaming site, You Tube...
That great font of eternal distraction, YouTube, has thrown up another tickler and this one sees a computerised graphic designer trying to reason with a client who demands everything for £3.50 and for it to be delivered in 17 minutes. Tee hee...
