• pfizer viagra I often put in hints of a darker shade in to create finer detail where the darkest shade for that area doesn’t push it back enough.
• pfizer viagra Repeat the process for facial hair, earrings and whatever extras there may be. Normally I leave the clothes till last and keep them very simple.

For the , I added in some elements in so that the clothes aren’t completely cut off and to tie it into our TriCube theme.

Step 7 - Completed

One last thing, There are two basic ways I make objects and I need a combination of them to do these images. One is basic, the Pen Tool, located in the side tool bar, which makes the objects you draw as shown in the top half. However, if you want to make a shade the edge of your object you would have try to match the edges of the shapes as best as you can, but thankfully there’s a great tool to assist in this arguous task! The Divide tool in the Pathfinder acts as a cookie cutter between two shapes, as shown in the bottom half. I duplicate the main object and Divide it with the line to create a new object with the same edges as the original.

As some parts, such as hair, tend to be long and monotonous to work with I like to jump around between steps. For the skin tones I try to keep the object shapes organic looking and keep the edges smooth. Before starting portraiture in the vector medium I did some research on different approaches and found some great inspiration on and of course

The first part involved in planning for your website is to think about what your site navigation will be. This list will be the backbone of your website. A good starting point is to think about what pages and information you want to share with your users.

Surely you need a home page, which will be the main page on your website and ideally is used to summarize what your business has to offer. An About page may be required if you have a long history that you wish to share with your users (if it is a short biography, though, you may simply be able to incorporate it in the home page). A Contact page will be necessary so your users and clients can find out how to contact you. But what else? Some other pages that you may desire or require can include:

• A photo gallery page
• A video page
• A services page
• A portfolio page
• A team page

Another important thing to think about is a logo. Do you have one? If you do, do you have the Vector file (in .EPS or .AI format)? If you have the vector files of your logo, that will immensely help the designer for your website. If not, it may be necessary to create (or recreate) one. Your logo is how clients will identity your business and vector files are scalable, which will help the designer in creating your website. Some web design businesses employ skilled graphic designers who can help create a logo and branding if needed.

Next up is the design of the website. If you have an idea of what you want the website to look like or the colours that you want used and can convey that to the designer, it will strengthen the design process. Additionally, if there are a few websites you like the look of and may want the designer to use as a basis for the design, forwarding the website links can make the design process even stronger.

There are generally 3 elements to any website. Here is what you can expect to see the designer create for a concept of your website:

• The header: Includes logo, navigation, social networking links
• The body: Includes main content area, sidebar (for secondary content)
• The footer: Includes copyright information, navigation recap, tertiary content

Giving the designer your feedback is important, otherwise they will not know if you want something changed, want something added, or are dissatisfied with the design. Be critical and positive so your website can reflect your business and be as good as it can be.

pfizer viagra online without prescription

Your website is the online presence of your business. It should appear how you want it to appear so it can reflect your business as professionally as possible. You are the expert on your business and the website designer is the expert on creating websites, by working together you can create a strong business relationship.

Conditional CSS is without a doubt my favourite cross-browser compatibility utility. It allows you, with the help of a generated PHP file, to condense all your cross-browser stylesheets into one single CSS file. Once you declare the PHP file from your index file accordingly, you only have to specify the browser using a tag followed by the style to give it specific styles for that brwoser. For example:

pfizer viagra
#container {background:#000;}

pfizer viagra
[if lte IE 8] #container {background:#CCC;}

pfizer viagra
[if ! Opera] #container {background:#666;}

pfizer viagra

1. Head over to
2. Select which server platform you use (PHP4, PHP5, C# or C.) Usually PHP5 is acceptable.
3. Add your CSS file (from your web server) to the upload menu on the right hand side of the website and click Go!
4. You will be given a file, c-css.php, to upload to your website.
5. Call the c-css.php file from your index file using the following: @import “/path/c-css.php”;
6. You can remove your CSS file declaration provided c-css.php has an accurate location of the CSS file (this avoids calling the CSS file twice.)

That’s it, you can now use tags, such as the ones stated in the above example. For a list of more browsers you can configure for, head to: .

Conditional comments only work for Internet Explorer. It is a way to execute certain commands based on the identified browser. You can also use this method to attach different CSS files based on the browser version. For example:

pfizer viagra
<!––[if IE]>
<link href=”styles_ie.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
<![endif]––>

pfizer viagra
<!––[if IE 6]>
<style type=”text/css”>
body {background-color:#ff00cc;}
</style>
<![endif]––>

To go one step further, you can also use this method to try converting people over from trying to access your website using Internet Explorer 6. For example:

<!––[if IE 6]>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;url=update.html”>
<![endif]––>

Which could then provide them with links to or on the update.html page.

Conditional Comments are a lot more bulky than the Conditional CSS method. Conditional Comments are not as widely used now as they used to be.

pfizer viagra online without prescription

This method should never be used. It results in your CSS file being read as partially invalid by search engines and it just looks sloppy. I have included it mostly just to give another method of creating a cross-browser compatible website, even if it is essentially done in the wrong way. Each browser uses a different character. For example:

pfizer viagra
body {_color:#000;}

pfizer viagra
body {*color:#000;}

pfizer viagra
body {color/**/:#000;}

pfizer viagra
body {color/*\**/:#000;}

There are many more, which can be found here: but again, they are not CSS-valid and should be avoided.

Here are a couple of things that help get my creative juices flowing. (Although, I am thinking more in the area of designing for websites, these can also be helpful for designing for other projects as well.)

pfizer viagra online without prescription

One of the first things I like to have in mind when starting to design a website is a colour scheme. I may not always stick to the original chosen scheme or I may expand on it in the process of designing the website, since sometimes more colours or shades are needed for contrast. This definitely helps to get me started. My favourite place to go to find colour inspiration is . The site was developed by Adobe, making it especially useful when working with Adobe software, like Photoshop and Illustrator.

Kuler contains thousands of user schemes to browse through, edit, and use for your designs. If you have an Adobe ID (if not, its free and easy to sign up), you can sign in to Kuler and download the .ase file for any colour scheme. You can also create and save your own schemes privately or publicly for others to use. The downloaded .ase file can be imported right into Photoshop or Illustrator (via swatches panel) so you don’t even have to worry about typing the Hex, RGB, or CMYK values incorrectly. The colours are added to your swatches panel automatically.

One of the things I love about Kuler is the tool they have for creating your own schemes. The site has a tool to create schemes that follow analogous, monochromatic, triad, complimentary, and compound colour rules as well as shades. And you can create a completely custom scheme not following those rules as well. This is especially useful if you have one colour in mind that you really want to use but aren’t sure what colours to put with it. The colours displayed on the page change automatically as you move the spokes (for lack of a better word) around the colour wheel. You can also upload an image to take colours from.

Best of all, Kuler is completely free to use, so even if you’re using design software, other than Adobe Creative Suite, you can still use the site.

I love fonts. I have an enormous list of fonts on my home computer. Although, half of them never get used because I forget that they are there. But sometimes coming across a font I haven’t used in a while inspires me in a creative way.

Fonts are important when it comes to design. They can really either make or break your design. And I don’t just mean that sometimes they break your layout (we all know that does happen) but they can also just plain look bad, even if they fit the way they’re supposed to.

That nagging issue of browser/platform compatibility will probably never go away entirely, so keep that in mind when choosing fonts to be used in a web page. One thing some designers occasionally struggle with, browser issues aside, is simply finding just the right font for a design.

The standard serif fonts like Times New Roman and sans-serif like Arial, Helvetica, and Verdana are sometimes good enough, but people see them so often that they become boring after a while. They’re safe. Most computers come with them loaded in the operating system, both Mac and PC. I add them to my CSS just as backup fonts in my CSS for older browsers that don’t support @font-face. Then, if the user’s machine doesn’t have the font I put for my first choice, it will be replaced with the first font listed that the user’s machine has.

Now with the ability to embed fonts into a web page, it gives us the opportunity to be more creative in our font choices.

When it comes to finding the right font there are lots of sites on the web where you can download fonts to use for free. There are so many fonts on these sites though, you could (and I have on multiple occasions) waste hours looking through them and downloading, when all you really intended on doing was finding one simple font with a specific look.

I recently learned of , from a former classmate of mine and it seems to be a pretty good resource.

What appealed to me most about it is that it seems more useful for web designers and developers than other font sites. The site had some great fonts that are practical for using on the web. Google Web Fonts’ database isn’t full of those fancy fonts with designs and texture around each letter. They’re meant to be used on the web (hence the name of the site). They’re easy to read, but can still make your site more visually appealing. Its also great because if you don’t want to download a million fonts to your computer to sift through every time you’re designing something new, you don’t have to. Google Web Fonts provides code for embedding your chosen font into your website using CSS or Javascript without having to upload the font to your own server. And, of course, if do you want to use the font on your computer, you are given the option to download it as well.

These are just two of many great resources out there on the web for designers and developers. I could probably go on for ever talking about either one of these sites or listing many more awesome resources, but since I feel that colour and type/font are fairly important for designing for the web, I decided to focus on these two.

Anyone who is familiar with WordPress knows that it can be used to categorize your blog posts, but what if you wanted to take that one step further to display certain information based on the category chosen? For example, imagine your website was to display a list of used cars from many different dealerships around town and you wanted to give your readers the dealership information based on vehicle they have chosen to view. Using WordPress’s in_category function, you can!

To start, navigate to the page you want to display your category-specific information in and simply use the following syntax with your modifications:

<?php if (in_category(‘First Category’)) { ?>
Title<br />
Address<br />
Phone Number<br />
Website
<?php } elseif (in_category(‘Second Category’)) { ?>
Title<br />
Address<br />
Phone Number<br />
Website
<?php } ?>

And you’re done! Based on which category you choose when creating a blog post in WordPress, the correct information will be displayed.

It is fairly easy to give the authors to your WordPress website prominence in their commentary. Fortunately WordPress’s Twenty Ten theme has this prepared for you. Simply open Twenty Ten’s styles.css file and locate .commentlist .bypostauthor {}. It is an empty style, so once you apply any colour, it will immediately activate.

Sometimes it is a nice feature to display the first image of a post elsewhere on your website to keep people clicking around your website. In this example, open your functions.php file and place the following code:

function ketchum() {
global $post, $posts;
$firstimage = ”;
ob_start();
ob_end_clean();
$output = preg_match_all(‘//i’, $post->post_content, $matches);
$firstimage = $matches [1] [0];

if(empty($firstimage)){
$firstimage = “/images/placeholder.png”; // if no image is found, give it a placeholder
}
return $firstimage;
}

After the code is input, you will need to call the function using echo, like so: <?php echo ketchum(); ?>

The Tag Cloud widget in WordPress defaults to 45 tags, but what if your tag cloud is located in your websites footer and eventually starts breaking the format? You have no choice but to limit the maximum number of tags that it outputs. Navigate to wp-includes/category-template.php and search for: function wp_tag_cloud( $args = ‘ ‘ )

Two lines below the wp_tag_cloud function you should see: ‘smallest’ => 8, ‘largest’ => 22, ‘unit’ => ‘pt’, ‘number’ => 45,

Simply change the 45 to the desired number of maximum words you want listed in your tag cloud and save.

This modification may overwrite your file when you update your WordPress version.

What if you’ve lost the password for your admin account, the lost password retrieval system isn’t working, and you don’t have access to the MySQL databsae or phpMyAdmin? There is a pretty simply way to reset your password via FTP. Open the functions.php file and on the very first line, paste this addition:

wp_set_password(‘password’,1);

‘password’ can be anything you choose, and for security purposes, it should be changed. Once the file is saved and uploaded, you should be able to log in with the new password. Upon logging in, you should change your password in the Users and remove the added line from functions.php.

Aviary, known for their very complex and robust online flash-based photo editor has recently released a HTML5 photo editor. It’s a simplified version of course, but impressive nevertheless; normally people use these online tools to do a quick touch-up when they don’t have access to Photoshop. I would try this one in the latest Chrome/Safari for the best results.

SublimeVideo is a proof of concept video player done through HTML5 (with video being one of the most notable parts of HTML5). Some of the best features of this player is the fallback support through flash for browsers that do not support HTML5. I still think there are some performance issues on all browsers that I have tried with it, but for the “proof of concept” portion, it’s really wonderful.

With this post focusing more on tools, another one in this genre is “Ajax Animator” which hopes to be an alternative to the Flash IDE. It allows you to animate using HTML5 technology right in your browser (although, in it’s current state, it’s an application in the Google Store – as they wanted it to work offline as well). Currently, it’s a stripped down version of Flash with lots of potential. It allows you to create animations to export on the web. Ironically, one of the export options for your animation is a Flash .swf file.

One of the most burgeoning areas of HTML5 development is in the games space. Game developers are excited to work on browser-ready games that don’t need flash support. Technically there is still some hurdles in this area, as the source code and JavaScript is there for anybody to potentially steal or edit to their will – as JavaScript is all done on the client’s end and not the server, or through a proprietary format (such as flash). Onslaught! Arena is a great example of what is possible with HTML5 gaming. For the smoothest play, try this on the latest Chrome/Safari.

The Date function has a myriad of options to give you any date combination you require for your website. It can be used in many places, but two prime examples are for displaying the current date or displaying the copyright date.

Syntax: <?php date(); ?> Usage: <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?> will return: 2011

Basic formatting characters:
d – Two digit representation for the current day with leading zero (01 to 31)
D – Three letter representation for the current month (Sun to Sat)
j – One to two digit representation for the current day without leading zero (1 to 31)
Y – Four digit representation of the current year (2011)

For an example on how to display your website copyright to and from date, you would have to use a combination of echo and concatenation: <?php echo ‘Copyright 2005-’ . date(‘Y’); ?> Which would display: Copyright 2005-2011 (or whatever the current year happens to be).

The str_Replace function stands for String Replace. It replaces all occurrences of the searched for string with a replacements of another string. This can be particularly useful when reading Excel spreadsheets or XML files and needing to replace an ampersand symbol (&) with the correct XHTML syntax of “&amp;”.

Syntax: <?php str_replace($search, $replace, $subject); ?> Usage: <?php str(replace(‘&’, ‘&amp;’, $string); ?>

The include function simply includes a file based on the given path. After it is called, any information within the file is then able to be used and displayed.

Syntax: <?php include(); ?> Usage: <?php include(‘file.php’); ?>

If file.php had variables containing information in it, they would now be able to be called, or if there was text or HTML in the file, it would automatically be displayed. This is particularly useful when you want your pages, for instance, to have a navigation section. Instead of having to change the navigation in every single page, any time the navigation is changed on the website, you would just have to change it in the “navigation.php” and it will dynamically change on every page where it is called.

The array function is one of the most used in PHP. It is pretty useful whether manually inputting data in or breaking up an Excel spreadsheet. The array works by essentially creating a map and making associations between its values and keys. The key can only be an integer or a string while the value can be a value of any type.

Syntax: <?php $arr = array(1 => ‘Against’, 2 => ‘The’, 3 => ‘Grain’); ?> Usage: <?php echo $arr[1]; ?> which will produce: Against.

In the usage example, the PHP script echos the contents of the first position in the $arr array. If you wanted to echo the third position, you would simply replace the [1] with [3].

This is the king of them all. The users on Facebook are (for the most part) real people. If you have a lot of friends on Facebook, this will make it even easier. For example, say you want to create a page for your business. After creating it, you will be able to invite any (or all) of your friends to join it. Pages for the most part are preferred over groups, because you post as the page name/business name itself rather than your personal account. This is valuable for businesses with multiple employees. Groups are still valuable too, especially if you are looking for more of a forum or a message board type setting for your website or business.

People liking/being a fan of your page/group will create a cascading effect as it will show up on user’s news feeds creating the opportunity for friends of friends join the page (and possibly even friends of friends of friends, etc.).

Twitter has moved past the “fad” stage and moved into the perfect free tool to help promote yourself or your business. Many times, businesses create accounts, post a couple things, then leave. They don’t understand that you really have to work at it to get anywhere. You have to look at your target market, and follow those people then hopefully, if they see an interest in what you are posting (more on that later) they will follow you back. Twitter will only work if you have real and interested, followers. Twitter is also a great conversational and discussion tool – it lets you communicate directly in a public forum to your customers (or potential customers). Asking users questions, retweeting tweets, and replying to users all show that you care and people will want to follow you because of it.

YouTube is definitely the most rewarding; however, it is also the most work. Imagine producing a how-to video on something in your industry, announcing a new product in a line, showcasing an event, or even uploading a commercial. All of these things have the chance to become HUGE. Millions and millions of users could watch these things you upload. YouTube is the biggest video site on the internet and if by chance you create and upload a video that addresses a need or want in the huge user-base, your name or your business could become worldwide famous. Imagine all that traffic flooding to your website as well as a link in the description. YouTube definitely has the best potential, but the most risky and time intensive, especially in the video editing/producing end of things.

For any of these tools to work, you have to work on them. Nothing is ever instant. It will take a lot of effort and you must spend time updating, managing and promoting. On the other hand, once you do the initial push, it will become easier over time. Even the modest amount of effort in using these tools would show anywhere from a 100%-1000%+ increase in website traffic provided you do the right things. Depending on your field or industry, this doesn’t limit to online traffic either – it can result in physical retail traffic as well. A word of warning though: don’t spam. You will lose fans/followers/subscribers this way – users do not like to see your website being spammed 10 times a day. Make sure you interact with these humans instead of just dumping links on to them.

Please note that some of the examples I am showing do not include the full working code to match the displayed images, you will have to do that part on your own when experimenting.

Looking to give your text some style? How about making it appear elevated off of a color, or even sunken into (letterpress)? CSS3 can help you without exporting annoying and clunky text images from Photoshop.

text-shadow: 2px 2px 8px #333;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #333;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff, 0 -1px 0 #000;

The first bit of CSS code will simply give the text a rather large drop-shadow effect, the second line will give it a very simple shadow, and the third line, using a combination of two attributes will give it a sunken or letterpress effect. The structure of the property is: text-shadow: x offset, y offset, blur amount, color.

This is another property that saves web designers a lot of time. No more exporting tiny rounded corner graphics that seem to break your layout in different browsers.

border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;

The only sore point about the current status of border radii is that there is a lot of code to support all the different modern browsers, especially if you want to go back a couple versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I’m merely scratching the surface of what is really possible as well with radii as well. To see some more examples, .

Box Shadow allows web designers to add that same type of aesthetic that text-shadow provides, but for block elements such as divs. Here’s a few examples:

-moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
-webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.DropShadow(color=#000000, offX=2, offY=2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 15px #fff;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 15px #fff;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=#ffffff, strength=5, direction=150);

The property follows the same structure as the text-shadow property and much like it, even supports as well (as I show in my example).  Who is to say this can only be used as shadows? How about a glow? Also included in my example is some Internet Explorer work-arounds using DirectX filters to “mimic” the aesthetics shown here;
albeit, it doesn’t do a very good job.

Gone will be the days of manually creating gradient backgrounds in Photoshop and then implementing them into your CSS. With a new property, you too, can have cross-browser gradients all with CSS control. The best part of this technique is there is a save for Internet Explorer users, truly making it cross-browser compatible.

background: #888;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorstr=#cccccc, endColorstr=#333333);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#ccc), to(#333));
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ccc, #333);

The first line is for browsers that do not support this, it is an average color between the two colors you will be using that can be used as a “default” of sorts. The second line is the IE’s saving grace (using a DirectX filter), the third is for Webkit rendering browsers such as Safari and Chrome, and the last is for Firefox (3.6+). There still is no official CSS property for this effect (meaning I am kind of cheating by putting it in my list), but I imagine there will be with Mozilla, Apple and Google all pushing for it.

background: #888;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorstr=#cccccc, endColorstr=#333333);

background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ccc, #333);
border-radius: 75px;
-moz-border-radius: 75px;
-webkit-border-radius: 75px;
-moz-box-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #fff, 1px 1px 0 #000, 2px 4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, .9);
-webkit-box-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #fff, 1px 1px 0 #000, 2px 4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, .9);

text-shadow:0 1px 0 #fff, 0 -1px 0 #000;

Here’s a quick example of using all these effects in a practical way, perhaps for a button. Who knows, you could even have a CSS-based hover effect for this type to appear as though it were elevated, instead of pressed in as shown here.
