In this article I'm going to show you various ways that I myself have written my CSS files with an emphasis on some sort of order. This is my evolution of CSS authoring, if you will. I'll also be coining phrases as I go along to give some sort of personality to the aggregation of code. Maybe they will catch on..

Web forms. Everybody knows web forms. Each day we have to fill in some information in a web form, be it a simple login to your webmail application, an online purchase, or signing up for a website. They are the basic, and pretty much the only way of gathering information on the web. You basically know a web form when you see one as they always look the same and they've kept this look over the years. Try as hard as you might but web forms can only change their appearance so much. Some may argue that this is a good usability feature, and I tend to agree, but there comes a time when you just need to style web forms so that they look different. How do you do that? Niceforms comes to the rescue! Niceforms is a script that will replace the most commonly used form elements with custom designed ones. You can either use the default theme that is provided or you can even develop your own look with minimal effort.

You know you can be better. We all can. It's the reason productivity and personal development has made such a surge in recent years. The time of freelancers, writers, designers and other web workers has exploded, and the need for tools and methods to make them more productive has aligned naturally with that explosion.

The idea here is setting up a form with a text field and via CSS making it invisible. Then, if a post is sent to a php script handling the request and that text box has information in it, that means a human didn't fill it out, and the script is simply aborted.

Lots of great examples of forms and css styles to go with them.

The final section "What size do I need to support?" has the findings summary, but the entire article is a very worthwhile read.

This is a creative example of quantitative user research. According to the findings from this article the "above the fold" size that will apply to the most people browsing is 776px wide by 424px high. This takes into account the browser chrome and surfing w/o being maximized. I think this study should be performed regularly, every couple of years perhaps to follow display size changes.
