When I was checking my blog referrals this morning, I noticed a new site that I’d never heard of before, www.usernamecheck.com. I was intrigued, as any information verification tool could be potentially useful in my line of work, so I checked out the site to discover something that I think is pretty awesome.
According to the site creators, it ”…is a quick and dirty solution to a question that I often lay awake at night worrying about. Do I have my username registered across every site that I should? What if the next internet humiliation meme just happens to share the username I’ve been using for years, and suddenly people are emailing me asking ‘hey, is this you ???’”
Peter Shanks on 27 Oct 11The core of Foundation can be summed up in a few points: A 12-column, percentage-based grid with an arbitrary maximum width. The grid can be nested and used for quite complex layouts, and it works all the way back to IE 7. The grid reshuffles itself for smaller devices. Image styles that disregard pixels. Images in Foundation are scaled by the grid to different widths. UI and layout elements. Foundation includes common pieces such as typography and forms, as well as tabs, pagination, N-up grids and more. Mobile visibility classes. Rapidly prototyping is partly about having built-in functionality to tailor the experience. Foundation lets you very quickly hide and show elements on desktops, tablets and phones. We deliberately built Foundation as a starting point, not as a style guide. We've included some styles to help you rapidly build something clickable and usable, but not something stylistically complete. Everything in Foundation is meant to be customized, including button styles, form styles (even custom radio, checkbox and select elements), typography, and layout elements such as tabs.
