Urbano’s Blog redesign
Hi guys,
Urbano's Blog has been around enough time to get some very decent monthly traffic, and I personally think that it deserves a new design/redesign.
I'm thinking of a nice CSS/Artwork design, with high-contrast colors, and nice combinations.
Some of the design ideas I've been looking at are this:
- Cheb 2.0
- Decadora
- Lucid Motives (Just the colors in this one... )
- Dezinerfolio
- emtwo (Layout)
- 4design (Colors and artwork)
And well many others I forgot long ago 
I'll keep on posting the progress, but the new design should be out in less than a week I expect. If you have suggestions, feedback, or things you'd like tell me on the comments, I like to hear stuff. I feel like people actually read this blog, and StatPress isn't lying

iPhone web development [Part 2]
about 2 months ago - No comments
In part one of my tutorial on iPhone web development, we talked about the basic stuff (Recognizing iPhones or iPods, setting up special HTML and CSS tags… ) we will now move on to the really clever bit: Orientation detection.
For many sites, we may just have the same thing both on portrait and landscape. But More >
Fast and dirty CSS trick for IE
about 4 months ago - No comments
I actually think that we the developers need IE, it is like the bad guy in an action movie, the good guy wouldn’t have a life without him, although sometimes you really wish it never existed! Haha just kidding, we all wish it didn’t exist… But well, there are some times when we need something More >
Stylish CSS trick for your Website
about 9 months ago - No comments
Maybe a few of you noticed this on some websites, maybe some of you even use it.
Right now this works in Safari, Opera, and Konqueror and Firefox 3.x. (I think it doesn’t work in Firefox 1 or 2, correct me if I’m wrong)
What I’m talking about is the text-shadow, wisely applied to your design, it More >
Apply a background image to an image
about 1 year ago - No comments
this is quite a neat trick, and it can look really good depending on your design and the image you put as background…
To get it to work all you need is to apply a padding and display:block; to the image. So the CSS would be:
img{
display:block;
padding:10px;
background-image:url(image.gif);
}
Here is a very smart use of this technique, where a More >
Urbano’s Blog redesign
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Well, after a while with this new design I felt the urge to redesign the whole thing. I am not changing the style, I’m quite comfortable with this idea of header / sidebar / footer style and I won’t try to reinvent the wheel…
I will still go into “Grunge” kind of artwork and style, but More >
How we became web developers…
about 2 years ago - 3 comments
I normally write to those web developers/programmers who are already good, experienced, and thus the articles are somewhat advanced.
But today I got up feeling nostalgic I guess, or I just felt like remembering back on my www birth, on my first impression of the Internet, my first site online, my first steps in w3c standards, More >
Beautiful tab design:
about 2 years ago - No comments
This article is not on how to create tabbed menus, is just about how to style them!
I completely forgot who was the source, so if you happen to be the author comment your URL and I’ll put up a link
Anyway, I found that this is by far the easiest and probably most beautiful More >
Redesign is complete now!
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
This is an official announcement!
The site’s redesign has been completed successfully, although in the emotive rush that comes after an accomplished job I didn’t test the new design thoroughly so there might be errors that will indeed be corrected as soon as they are found.
I’m not even going to take a look at IE’s way More >
