The CSS fluid width layout
With modern screen resolutions becoming much larger and wider than before, designers often find themselves in a dilemma: should a layout be designed to fit in 800px width, 1024px width, or perhaps even more wide?
The problem of course is that if you design a wide layout of, let’s say 1280px wide, anyone viewing the page in a resolution less than 1280px will end up with a horizontal scroll bar. This is not a good thing.
On the other hand, if your layout is 800px wide, it will look very small to all users in modern resolutions (which make up the majority nowadays). The solution is to use a fluid width layout using CSS.
Backing up WordPress and your website
Since WordPress 3.0 was recently released, and I went through the process of upgrading, I thought I’d write a quick post on the steps one should take in backing up their blog, database, or even their entire website.
Keep in mind that you’ll probably want to backup your site or database more often than every WordPress update, but how often is really up to you as it depends on how busy your site is, or how often you update it.
WordPress 3.0 released!
If you run a wordpress site you may have noticed a message in your admin panel stating: “WordPress 3.0 is available! Please update now.”
You may choose to update automatically or simply download the full package and upload the files manually, but whichever way you choose, make sure you backup all your files first (which is something you should do periodically anyway, whether you’re upgrading or not).
The list of new features is extensive.
