    Code Editor of Choice

    I went off of Dreamweaver very quickly and began using a program called Aptana, which is really what taught me to be more fluent in hand coding. The problem was that there were too many updates and it literally took up to 15 minutes to load the program up in a morning so I had to change it...

    Which Browser Do You Currently Use?

    I've always used Firefox but recently had a lot of issues with it on certain websites so I've just switched to Chrome which I'm actually finding quite good as it's easy to switch between user profiles - I still use Firefox for web design and it's add-on's make it a very powerful tool for many...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    Thanks for the information Levi - It seems I have a lot to learn about QR codes. I agree with what you say but after trying it out, the actual QR code contains too much data for scanning at the small scale used on my business card. As the majority of my cards are going to be handed out to...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    Thanks for the clarification Levi and for the information wac - I've tried scanning the QR on the card that I have printed here and it is scanning in under 3 seconds at a distance of 19cm in average to low light, which I think is pretty good, although as I said before I'm no expert. As for it...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    Ok, so I'm getting really confused with all this talk of inverting and borders. I'm always open to your opinions and suggestions but please remember that I have never used QR's before. I originally had the QR as white code on a black background and it didn't work so that was definately...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    Thanks, but the QR code is on the left - Do you mean put it on the right? This is actually the first time that I have used a QR code so I can't really comment on how well they work but I have heard that they can be successful - It depends on how effectively you use them I suppose. I will be...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    The QR code points to the mobile version of my website (which I am currently in the middle of developing). I originally had the QR as white on black as you suggest but after testing it on several different QR readers I found that it simply doesn't work. This new version of the QR code...

    New Personal Branding - Business Card

    Hi, I've been thinking about changing my branding for a while now and recently put together this new business card. It's a double sided card with (new) Logo, contact details & QR code. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

    Website Analytics

    I know that you can get real time from Google Analytics now but you couldn't when I started using clicky. I can't comment on the Apps for either of them. I'm just throwing Clicky out there as a decent alternative to Google.

    My First Free Social Icons Set

    I have to be honest and say that they're not something that I would personally use in my projects for a number of reasons. First of all they are quite flat and plain looking. As a web 2.0 designer I prefer something that stands out and when I look at these I can't help thinking that they...

    Website Analytics

    I personally use Clicky which is a web based analytics service. All you do is set up an account, grab the code, put it in your website, log in and monitor who's visiting you in REAL TIME. It tells you all the basics such as how many visitors, what time they were on, how long they were on...

    critiques more than welcome.

    I see that you're very new to web design and coding and with that in mind your website is really quite good - in terms of structure and functionality at least - so well done. The first thing is would say is that it is very plain looking which isn't always a bad thing as I am a big fan of...

    Web Design Related Blogging

    Over the past few years I have gained quite a bit of knowledge in web design and development and I'd like to start passing on my knowledge through the use of blogging but I have often wondered where the best place to start a blog was. I know that there are the obvious ones like Blogger...
