  • Each kind of a website has its own peculiarities. A common mistake in web design community is to ignore the specificity of a website.

      A lot of people pick a template because of how it looks but certain templates don't work for certain kinds of sites. An online shop for example shouldn't have a template that was originally designed for a fashion blog for example.
  • In order to help people that want to create their own website at any cost, the designers came with a great solution: website templates. A template is a structure that needs small customizations, especially for personalizing it, and after finishing these it may be uploaded.
  • Tip #2: Choose the template you need but not the one you just visually like

      While crowdsourcing is all the rage this days, ranging anywhere from film making (seeking funding on pirate websites) to video game funding, yet not so long ago crowdsourcing was a new concept. This article is one of more early examples of such funding in its infancy.  Article dates from 2009. Please note that such examples that are covered in this article geared towards financing funding as opposed to innovation and idea funding. In first article out of five we will look at early stages, in following article climax of financial/social success will be covered with ultimately looking on last two articles how such crowdsourcing ideas have failed and succeeded.

    This article considers some of the challenges of using algorithms to identify copyright infringements in electronic media. So far this method has been successful especially on FaceBook, catching users posting material they do not have rights to yet claim their own. The downside of this method is that occasionally websites that are perfectly legitimate are taken down.

    In this article found on Forbes magazine website the article discusses the continuous extension of copyright terms. In specific it highlights how disney used its influence on members of congress to keep extending copyright term therefore disney material could never be used by other authors or film makers. It is ironic owing to the fact that a large number of works created by disney were based on stories in the public domain.

      World of video games by many business folks is viewed as form of entertainment, and as result it is categorized as such. At one point it was considered the niche of grand marvel of entertainment industry.   But this was in the past; now-a-days videogame industry has more money flowing through it then even filming industries like Hollywood, and biggest drawback from this sudden growth has been inflow of money hungry investors whom view this sector as only vessel for cash flow and not creativity. Who can blame them? Its part of the game! The downside comes in for of taxation on creativity and vision, large publishes are only willing to make bet on sure-fire hits with general public, they wish not to invest in to truly wonderful and creative games that would redefine the landscape. Kickstrater website is one of many of its kind that allows gamers and any one else who is interested in investing towards such video game venture in hopes of playing it one day and claiming the credit of making the difference!
