Design & Coding Pop ups; one of the great annoyances of the Internet age. A design annoyance that turns off many consumers, yet somehow not everyone has got the message.

I see plenty of design portfolios even still make use of pop ups to display their work, having users land ...

If you just migrated your WordPress blog from one permalink structure to another, and you don’t want to lose the traffic that accesses your blog through the old permalinks, this is for ...

Blogging Last month I decided to remove the top commentators list from BloggingTips. It was a change of direction for me as I previously recommended the top list to readers. There are a few other subjects that I have changed my opinion on in the last few months. Some things I have changed my opinion on due to experience (for example the top list) whilst others I have changed my opinion after reading more about the subject. Be open minded I want to tell ...
