This post is aimed squarely at those people who are business owners, having a go at making their business website whilst having little or even no web design experience. Amazing tools such as Realmac Software's RapidWeaver, Karelia's Sandvox or maybe Wordpress (plus many more) make this more possible than ever. I have been responsible for quite a few answers to questions on boards like Realmac Software

Hello all!A few months ago, we decided it was a useful idea to have something that made support and minor development tweaks possible, without having to take about £1k of MacBook Pro about to places where I wouldn't have my eyes on it, and the public nearby. It's not just the size (the 13" MacBook Pro is hardly a monster) but the cost in money and time/hassle of loosing my main machine with all the

Everywhere I look, companies aren't happy just positioning themselves per se, but seem to feel it vital to be positioning themselves against another company, or opposite them. Apple seem to be one of the main favourite targets for this negative campaigning here, with not just Adobe, but Google spending much of their effort earlier this year positioning themselves against Apple.Doesn't this effectively

Are you a heavy coding type? Do you happily write HTML and CSS? Maybe you take it further into programming style languages like javascript, PHP and ASP? This has become more of a point of consideration for us recently. As the coder in the team, it all falls to me to make the technology work for us the best I can. The big question I'm feeling is, "By spreading yourself thinner (learning more languages)

Hi all! Karn back on the loose again.Wow, it's been a long time since my last post, far far too long really. I always think I should put more posts up, but about what? Should I just post anyway?How many times have we all read posts about the value of 'good' content and regular new content being good for your site and profile? Many many times in truth. Isn't that just a symptom of a glossed over issue?

Hi all, Karn main tech @ WebKarnage here.This is a typical story of hardware frustration where you try and save a bit of cost, and end up with no result and a huge time cost to go with it!The problem to be solved:- Easy wireless Time Machine backup for all users in the house so no-one can forget to do it.The secondary aim:- Spend less than buying the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station & the HD,

Well, the end of another MacHeist season has drawn to a close. This was our first one, but the third one, held once a year at roughly the same time each year.What Is MacHeist?MacHeist is the brain child of John Casasanta (himself an independent software developer) , Phill Ryu and Scott Meinzer. There are many articles about the 'history' of MacHeist, and have a look at their About Page for some details

Hi all!Been a long while, but we need to put a few thoughts to you about Beta browsers and developers/users responses to them. This was all brought into a new focus when, just a couple of weeks ago, Apple released the Public Beta of Safari 4.Wow, what a browser, but what an even more amazing response to it! Let us try and put some perspective onto this, which we think shows how unique the response

Hi one and all! This is just a few thoughts on how the movements and growth in the internet might have an effect on the work we all do trying to get our pages to render as best we can on all platforms. We are now seeing the evolving world of browsers gathering pace, with Internet Explorer 8 (from now on referred to as IE8) gathering pace and looking like a significant improvement over IE7 (OK, we all

Hi Everyone!Google has now stated it is crawling Flash content in their Blog HERE. There is still the same caveat, that it only reads text and not images.
