Why Rounded Corners are so nice? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Who know the answer? Recently, I've changed my template, because I'm still looking for nice CSS schema with WEB 2.0 style. Generally, I even don't know what "WEB 2.0 Style" mean but... :)So I was looking for nice free template based on CSS and XHTML. When I was searching some interesting layout I've realize that there are something about one million ways to get rounded corners in your divs! Or at least there are one million pages with tips how to do that.From my observation appear that there are several, common ways to get "rounded result":use image big image of rounded content and put it as a background in your div's id; use several images (cut your original image) and put them as a background in your several div's ids; use only corners images and split the CSS code with custom javascript code; I don't know which one is the best for me. Yet...I will let You know when I solve this problem.So why do we like rounded corners so much? Read more:Rounded

CSS, HTML, XHTML, Design and Blogs 2007-03-11 01:47:00 Currently I'm looking for some nice features for WordPress blog engine. One of my friends ask me, to create simple but customized blog which is simple to admin and is nice-look CSS/XHTML

What is new in Web 2.0 by Serge Mankovski 2007-03-14 22:35:00 A few month ago Serge
Mankovski on his blog wrote an interesting article about WEB 2.0. Now, after almost half year of our experience with different WEB 2.0 sites, we can compare present "knowledge" with past "wishes". And it looks pretty good :)However I think that more realistic scenario would be for WEB 2.0 site to become more interactive and become more like Virtual Worlds. I can see an AJAX-based virtual environment working across multiple Social Networks sites mushed-up into one system. It would have virtual reality graphics and rules of participation similar to a Virtual World. That would become a beginning Virtual World Web. How is that for an idea?
My new blog engine!!! 2007-03-18 21:13:00 Let It Begin! My second start with in Blogging World. I decide to migrate from Blogger blog engine into my own, a very customized site based on WordPress 2.1.2 engine. It takes ages to find nice WEB 2.0 - style template, but finally I decide to use Fresh (Compact) 1.2 theme Designed by Wolfgang Bartelme. As you can see it's very nice-look, CSS and XHTML friendly. Due to usage I will add some new things, I think, but for now it's ready to use!So please, if you read me and you like my posts, let me know by using http://matisq.ooblez.com/blog/ as one of fav. blogs from now!
