Have you listened to Daft Punk’s Alive album? I personally find it better than his singles. There is something to it… maybe because the mash ups make it sounds more interesting and less repetitive but it surely is an album to check out for electronic lovers.

Freelance designers are often so focused on the present and the immediate future that a long-term career plan is non-existent, or at least under appreciated. What needs to be done in order to complete that big project? Where will the next client come from?
Many don’t want to deal with the stress and unpredictability of freelancing forever. Without a long-term plan you may earn a decent living, but down the road you’re likely to find yourself wishing you had been more prepared. Some freelancers are comfortable enough in their careers that they would like to continue to freelance for the foreseeable future. Others would like to eventually expand their business and limit the amount of client work that they must do.
I recently wrote a post for Freelance Switch, 7 Reasons Why You Should Pursue Your Own Projects. My primary point with that article is that most freelancers have compelling reasons to ...

Shared servers offer the most popular and widely used web hosting services available. Not only does it provide server space for your website, but for the sites of other clients as well. All of these sites make use of the same operating system and software applications. Although free hosting runs a similar setup, shared hosting typically offers many more benefits.
A free shared hosting service is a sound solution for those simply looking to express themselves or try out a few new ideas. If things don’t work out as you may have hoped, you have the benefit of having paid nothing for your website. At the same time, you should come to expect that free shared hosting will not provide the best conditions. For instance, storage space and bandwidth is limited and reliable support for MySQL databases and PHP is almost nonexistent. To put it mildly, this type of environment is ...

One of the great things about the design industry is that there is always plenty of information available and a number of great resources are at your disposal. Recently there have been a number of noteworthy site launches. Here are 7 new sites that I think you’ll appreciate.
DevSnippets
My friend Noura Yehia of Noupe just launched DevSnippets, a code snippet gallery, a few days ago. It provides a great opportunity for designers and developers to share their work and for others to enhance their projects and learn something new. Also, there is a huge contest to celebrate the launch ($4,600 in prizes going to the top submitters).
Script and Style
A few weeks ago Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks and David Walsh launched an awesome news-related site, Script & Style. In my opinion it’s a fairly similar concept to CSS Globe (which I also love) in that users can submit links to be posted ...

MD: Joel, first of all welcome to Search Feature. I understand that one of your first sites was http://www.worldvillage.com/
Was that the one project which helped you get started with your adsense ventures and what did you do to help it kick off? What mistakes did you make and when did you finally get the hang of it?
JC: I launched WorldVillage.com in 1995, but AdSense didn’t start until 2003. By that time, I had several established sites. The one that was my greatest AdSense earner was http://www.DealofDay.com, a site for people wanting to save money on their retail purchases online. I made a ton of mistakes, including using the wrong ad blocks, wrong ad colors and wrong page placement. Around April 2004, I “cracked the code” and started making substantial revenue.
MD: I understand that Thor Schrock was a contestant on www.nextinternetmillionaire.com and later on became ...

FrontPage is an amazing technology developed by Microsoft. It was specifically designed as a tool for website creation and management, enabling users to author web pages and build feature-rich websites with professional appeal. The best part about FrontPage is that it doesn’t require the coding of HTML or complex applications. One of it’s main attractions is the FrontPage editor which is a GUI featuring WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). When you create and edit your web pages, the changes appear in a display window in the exact manner is it would on the actual page. Code used to create these dynamic pages are automatically generated and concealed from the user by default. However, more experienced users can edit HTML code via a separate display window with the simple click of a button.
The biggest advantage of the WYSIWYG editor is that it gives you the ability to visualize ...
