Online AJAX CSS Editor for MySpace

This is VERY smart: an online CSS editor, there’s a demonstration here editing toms’ myspace page:

http://www.realeditor.com/editor/

It allows you to edit all of the items in real-time, also has a colour palette, font size editing, etc. So there is not NO EXCUSE to update your myspace to make it look GREAT!


I am going to reveal to you ONE very important piece of advice when going with Google Adwords…

Apart from the usual ones of picking the correct keywords, and your ad text being the best ever.  We’re hearing a lot of sob stories about people being ‘ripped off’ by adwords.  Its mainly just lack of a descent, relevant website when you create your campaign..but let me tell you why it is important to have a proper website.

Do i like Google Desktop? Not so sure..

I’ve been trying out Google Desktop for a while now, here’s my experiences from start-to-finish..

Installation is fairly simple, just the usual click of the next, next, next, NEXT! button.

It wants to close all of your browsers, i said NO! because i’ve got loads on the go (as usual!) in multiple browsers, both opera and firefox – it wanted to close both!

Now, it took up the right-hand 100 pixels on my screen.  My screen is fairly large, but even still i’m not really happy about using up that amount of real estate on my screen.  You can thankfully re-size it to around a 50 pixel width.

What is Web 2.0 and AJAX?

There’s been a lot of talk about Web 2.0 and how its the next big thing, one thing i’ve got to say is that its the same internet – but only used differently. Its more about interaction between people online rather than just a brouchure-ware website that doesn’t interact with your customers (ok, a mail form.. great. how un-interactive can you get. Do you have time to reply to them? )The technology behind Web 2.0 isn’t anything new, again, its the same thing being used differently, javascript, html and web servers.
