Rounded corners with CSS
Rounded corners are very commonplace in web design today. It is so common that the authors of the CSS 3 spec have decided to include it in the upcoming standard. Most browsers aren't supporting CSS 3 yet, but both the Gecko and Webkit rendering engines have had their own version of rounded corners CSS rules for a while now. It is a lot less work to simply apply a CSS rule to an element than to do it with images, so often recently I have been taking this approach. It doesn't work for IE. Internet Explorer users won't get the rounded corners. The corners are just a little added bonus to my users with the better browsers.
IE 8 is great for development
If you are still using IE 7 to test your websites in, stop. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to IE 8.
The coolest HTML tags you’re not using
There’s been a lot of talk lately about "Semantic HTML", or in other words, trying to use descriptive code to markup your content with. Semantic HTML is crucial for search engine optimization since it helps web crawling bots to understand your content.
There are a few HTML tags still in the W3C recommendation status that are pretty useless and should probably be depreciated, but there are others that you probably haven’t heard of that could actually be quite useful.
So the next time you’re building a webpage and you go to type <div> or <span>, stop and consider using one of these!
