..Easter Eggs in Facebook languages
Facebook has introduced a few Easter Eggs in the language settings that I haven’t foreseen until recently. I don’t really bother going to the language settings but I did find a few interesting languages you can play with.

..Is your jQuery not working?
One of the most common mistakes when using jQuery is that we forget to load the jQuery library before the jQuery script (whatever script you are working on). How do our jQuery scripts work if we don’t load the fundamentals right?

Q:Hi ^^
I'm newbie to all this stuff really. I've just finished my first year of University doing Web & Multimedia design. I'm lost when it comes to hosting really. I read your post about staying away from the "unlimited" stuff. I was just wondering if you actually use one of sites you suggested in the post or if you have your own favourite hosting site? :)
What should I be looking for apart from a cheap/decent price :) Thanks in advance :)You should definitely be looking for customer service, it’s very important when it comes to web hosting and I am currently hosted on Directspace’s VPS. I also have some websites hosted with MDDHosting’s shared plan which I would recommend to you since VPS is not for beginners. Their customer service is flawless when answering support tickets and you’ll really get what you paid for and then some. I noticed with larger companies you sometimes end up with unskilled techs trying to help you (outsourced employees) and basically get the run-around until you end up with someone who knows what they’re doing. AVOID THAT!

I really don’t see why people are purposely doing z-index: 99999 for the highest priority layer when you have like what.. 20 division layers?! who comes up with these numbers anyways?!

..Optimize your HTML using Expression Web
Optimize your HTML using Expression Web is pretty simple. I do it to all my files because it’s a great way to save bandwidth and also helps a tiny bit on the user’s end.

..What you should know about favicons
Favicons are a great way to include a 16x16 pixels icon to your website. Almost all modern websites now include this, it’s a neat little feature that browsers have so why not take advantage of it.

..Stay away from “unlimited” hosting plans
Many “unlimited” hosting plans are a joke. Believe me, I’ve tried them and it all ties down to how much resources you are using. If you have 1~3 websites that generate around 100 visitors a day, then maybe unlimited hosting plans are right for you because it won’t ever go pass the CPU usage limit that they keep in their fine print (TOS).

..Best method for anchoring divs
A trick that I like to use is wrap div layers with an anchor instead of using javascript’s onclick or wrapping an image with an anchor. Why? We’ll div layers are great to use for hyper-linking and is more flexible.
