With 2010 started, the new decade has begun. But how did we get to here?
In this article, we’re going to look at the major events from each year in the past decade that have helped develop the web design industry. Try keeping a tab on how many affected you, I bet you’ll run out of fingers quite quickly!
Joomla is a CMS (Content Management System) that lets you create websites, blogs, web portals and online applications with a minimal amount of coding. It has a lot in common with WordPress.
We haven’t covered Joomla in any way previously on this blog, so we’re going to start by giving you a taste of the sites that can be made with Joomla. The following 40 themes are all free to use and show you the starting point you could have for your next site if you use Joomla with it.
If you’d like to see more Joomla coverage in the future, just let us know. Or of course, we can stick to good ol’ WordPress!
We’re all on Twitter now, and it needs no introduction. But with so many people on Twitter, how can you make your profile stand out?
Twitter doesn’t offer a lot of tools for customizing your profile. It doesn’t go much further than a background image and a few colors.
But as you’ll see below, that’s more than enough for some people.
Web design is complicated. There’s a heck of a lot to learn. Typography, usability, color theory, the list goes on…

We have collected together 26 full tutorials from the web that take you through the process of designing a blog, from scratch.
Today you will learn 10 ways to install accordion menus in your Worpress theme!
This will help to organize your blog, make your site look more professional, and possibly save you some precious real estate in your layout. Real estate on a blog is as important as it is in the real world (especially in congested areas), you need to make the most out of your space as you can.
Accordion menus get their name from the instrument of the same name. Much like the bellows going in and out as someone plays music on an accordion, an accordion menu expands and contracts from user interaction, one section at a time.
This way top level names are listed at all times, but sub-categories and child items are only exposed as each section is expanded. Your visitors only see what they need to at any given time.
Have you ever used tables in your articles? These days most people haven’t.
HTML tables were used a lot a few years ago but nowadays most people have forgotten about them.
Maybe it is because designers used to have to design web sites by using tables in the early days. Since this was a very confusing way to style web sites it created a rather negative feeling towards using tables. No matter what the actual reason was, tables are still a great way to present content.
They make is so easy at presenting information that once you get the hang of it you never want to have to miss them again.
Every blog has a unique audience, so the blog itself has to find a way to appeal to that audience.
One of the most difficult audiences to capture can be that of a sophisticated consumer. It can be difficult to achieve the prestigious, refined image you desire, without appearing outdated.
