Google Maps Redux
Posted by: Blair on 25 Sep 2008 @ 4:29 pm Category: Programming and Coding for the Web
A couple of months ago I wrote about Google Maps and how it could be integrated into your web site to allow your customers to find you easily. Of course, since I wrote that article we have seen the release of Street View which is the amazing culmination of months of work by Google employees who spent their days driving around pretty much every street in urban areas of Australia with huge...Can bad HTML be trendy?
Posted by: Dominique on 25 Sep 2008 @ 3:51 pm Category: The Wondrous Wide Web
I am going to explore the notion that bad html can indeed be a trendy viral marketing ploy which attracts a special, light-hearted demographic and achieves mass popularity. I shall provide some samples from my trip to the vast junkyards of the world wide web to justify my aforementioned statement to all who don't believe me.
If you know me well, then you'll know my two favourite things...
Marketing is more than an idea
Posted by: Narelle on 18 Sep 2008 @ 10:23 pm Category: Marketing
I love this statement – more so I think because I can relate to it completely.
I have been in the marketing role at ireckon for just over 3 years now (the company over 4) and I could probably count on one hand (two at a push), the number of great ideas I have come up with. Don’t get me wrong, ireckon there has been a lot of great ideas that we’ve accomplished over this time, but not a...
Min-Height fix for IE
Posted by: Erin on 16 Sep 2008 @ 8:49 am Category: Web Design
I have never been a huge user of the min-height class in CSS, until a recent project where it needed to be used considerably. In the past it has always been possible to get around the problem by either settling for using a fixed width or compromising design aspects, because there was no other way that I had discovered to get it working cross browser.
There was no option in this...

Web to go for design inspiration
Posted by: Jamie on 9 Sep 2008 @ 4:47 pm Category: Web Design
Whether you think you are the best web designer in the world, or just a beginner, we all tend to draw inspiration from somewhere, even if we don't know it. There are a few different types of resources that give us designers some inspiration, for example, the Web, Television, Promotions, Posters/Signage, and even other people. To keep it short, I will just stick to the Web, and let...
My Practical Tutor Mr YouTube
Posted by: Dominique on 5 Sep 2008 @ 10:10 am Category: The Wondrous Wide Web
The key to knowledge transfer has been stated by many as providing platforms for not only explicit knowledge that can be codified and disseminated fairly easily, but for tacit knowledge too (that is often too hard to explain without a visual, physical or anomalous demonstration). Many organisations have spent countless amounts of resources on perfecting the art of transferring such...
It’s the cherry on top that makes the sundae.
Posted by: Emily on 4 Sep 2008 @ 5:24 pm Category: Marketing
I have a few odd-ball habits – and until recently wasn’t aware of how strange my habits were to others, or even myself – until they were discovered by a co-worker and raised a lot of questions. I started talking about them out loud and as I heard the words ‘I ironed my pillowcases’ come out of my mouth I almost simultaneously burst into the kind of laughter that makes it sound like...
Where would you be without internet?
Posted by: Mark on 4 Sep 2008 @ 8:37 am Category: The Wondrous Wide Web
That's a question I have never asked myself. Because when I needed it it was within reach and I was able to use it. Until I moved to one of Brisbane's suburbs.
As a web developer I use the internet professionally for at least 8 hours per day. And often I find
myself using the internet at home after working hours. So when we started renting a nice house in the south east part of Brisbane, I...
