Yoast tweaking websites

Not only am I an SEO, I’m fairly good at webdesign as well. With webdesign I mean the translation of a nice idea by someone else into completely valid templates, others are often better in creating nice looks for a site. I’ve started my own webdesign company on the side for this: AlthA Webdesign.

Next to webdesign, I do a lot of web development using PHP, mainly using the different API’s of the search engines and social media networks out there to create mash ups.

CSS3 section: multi-column layout

May 22, 2006 Joost de Valk 3 comments

Jason Harrop mailed me today, congratulating me on the digg, and telling me about the multi column extension he created for Firefox. Multi-column layout was already planned as an extra addition to my CSS3 section, but this pushed it up the list a bit.
So here it is: multi-column layout in CSS3. This is one of [...]

Digg effect

May 21, 2006 Joost de Valk 1 comment

My CSS3 Preview section got digged this morning, which caused quite a few visitors and a VERY slow website.... I tweaked Apache a "bit" and it now works perfectly again.

More news in the CSS3 section

May 16, 2006 Joost de Valk 3 comments

I added two very cool new pages to the CSS3 section, and i've changed my policy a bit. My policy was to add pages as stuff became supportted in either Firefox or WebKit. I have added Opera to that list, since they are doing other stuff, which is very cool as well. The two new [...]

Why i'm very happy with OmniWeb 5.5

May 12, 2006 Joost de Valk 1 comment

I'm an Apple addict, and a Safari addict as well. I love it, and I love it's core, WebKit, and spend a lot of time on it. Yet i'm very, very happy with the OmniWeb 5.5 sneaky peak.
I wrote a piece a while ago, about a WebKit community release. Effectively, this OmniWeb sneaky peak release [...]

CSS3 text-shadow

May 08, 2006 Joost de Valk 1 comment

After getting some link love from Amber Rhea over at CSSInsider, I updated my CSS3 section. The new page is about text-shadow, and probably doesn't really belong there as has been introduced in CSS2. However, only WebKit implemented it, so i thought "what the heck".

CSS3: multiple backgrounds and background-size

May 08, 2006 Joost de Valk 1 comment

I've added two pages in my css3 preview section: multiple backgrounds and background-size. Both are nice, but multiple backgrounds really rock, since they allow for far easier website building. I really hope these get into some other browsers fast, as these two are only implemented in Safari/Webkit right now.

High DPI Web Sites

Apr 23, 2006 Joost de Valk Comments Off

Dave Hyatt raises a VERY interesting question on the Surfin' Safari blog. He talks about High DPI Web Sites and how this could be the future of browsing the web. I'll chew on this one over the weekend.

Back by demand: CSS3 rounded border preview

Apr 22, 2006 Joost de Valk 1 comment

I saw in my logs that people were still coming to the rounded border preview I made last year, and which I had removed from my site. So I updated it and put it back. I created a CSS3 preview section for it, in which I will add more pages soon.
