In the new state of the economy, people are finding that they are needing to tighten their budgets more than ever before. The big, luxurious SUV you bought is now costing you an arm and a leg in petrol and maintenance. People simply cannot afford it anymore.

As the recession looms in on most countries in the world, people are getting desperate. They are losing their jobs and finding themselves with heaps of bills piling up on their doorsteps. When people get desperate, then they start devising plans to get an extra load of cash wherever possible. For some of these people the idea of getting a nice car insurance payout seems like a good idea. They think to themselves that they can report their car stolen, and then get paid out a lump sum by the car insurance company. With this sum they can perhaps buy a much smaller cheaper car and then have a bit of extra cash left over for a much needed injection.

There have recently been reports of cars, even luxury ones, being found charred and burnt out in deserts, driven off cliffs and there is even a case in America of a car that was found after it had been buried! This all boils down to car owners’ desperate attempts to pretend their car has been stolen in order to claim back from their car insurance company. Unfortunately, it can be blindingly clear to an insurance investigator that fraud is involved, as it would not take a rocket scientist to realize that a thief would not steal a car only to then set it alight or throw it off a cliff!

The penalties for this kind of fraud are very steep, involving hefty fines and even jail time. It is fraud after all. It is better, when faced with a bad financial situation, to first seek help. Go and talk to your finance house or the people who collect on your car repayments. There is a chance you may be able to strike up a deal or even trade your car in for a cheaper model.

I heard a pal who had emergency need of a few quid. Basically, they needed a necessary fix - their plumbing was damaged unexpectedly and it was a few weeks before getting wage day. My friend has through bad luck a bad credit history thanks to bad history of paying back a previous personal loan so to get a normal bank loan was not possible. However there couldn’t be time to hang around and it needed to be repaired as soon as possible. I have heard that payday loans get a poor rep and often rightly so; but desperate times need desperate actions and they applied for a payday loan to fund the fixture. You just have to be sure that the money goes immediately out of your account to pay back the credit at the next payday.

Introduction

As we gradually gained more experience with website development over a period of about 15 years I started getting used to asking the question what size screen resolution should we build this website for?

I was reading somewhere recently that apparently these days the only answer to that question should be ‘all of them’ and ‘none of them’. What this basically means is that new websites should be built to accommodate all different screen sizes these days, particularly with the increased popularity of hand help web browsers, smart phones, net books and the like. Of course there is also the other end of the spectrum in the new huge wide screen flat screen monitors. I recently treated myself to a 24 inch Asus which does 1920×1080 which is big enough to get two web browser windows on screen side by side, but if you make one of them full size, the majority or websites look, well, just plain strange!

What exactly is screen resolution then?

If you are not familiar with screen resolution, the simple answer is that it is the size of your display. However, this can be quite misleading because it is actually the number of pixels that make up the display area on the screen of your monitor. Still not clear? Well let’s look at some examples to help clarify exactly what screen resolution is.

Currently what would appear to be the most popular screen resolution is 1024×768 (accounting for 62% of my website visitors). This is a screen that is 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels high. What is a pixel? A Pixel, derived from the phrase Picture Element, is basically one of the thousands of tiny dots that make up your display screen. However, this does not necessarily determine the physical size of your monitor (14 inch, 15 inch, 19 inch etc) because most monitors are capable of displaying the screen in different screen resolutions. It is fairly accurate to say that if you want to run your monitor at a high screen resolution then you will need a large monitor, the larger the monitor the greater the resolution it can display at (assuming your graphics processor can support a high resolution).

All getting a bit technical? Put simply the larger the screen resolution the more things you can fit on your screen before they have to go onto the next line, or before you have to scroll down or scroll right.

What’s this got to do with Web Design?

When creating the visuals for a new website design, traditionally the experienced graphic designer would be working to a specific resolution in order to make sure that the design fits in your browser window without having to scroll right. (Thankfully most website owners don’t demand you make their pages so that you don’t have to scroll down anymore!)

However, if you design your web pages to 1024 pixels wide, when they are viewed on a wider screen resolution such as 1280, your ecommerce web design needs to be able to handle the extra screen width elegantly.

When designing at a fixed resolution you can deal with larger display settings by either aligning the site to the left and having a huge great big gap to the right, or you can centre align the website in the available space and then the extra screen resolution will be on either side of the content area.

However, the sensible, modern day approach is to make the site flexible to support all screen resolutions by creating ‘fluid’ content that will flow to fit the available page space irrespective of what size screen resolution it is viewed at.

Also, because of the increased competitiveness of the web the challenge for a website owner is how to engage your viewers and get them to stay on your website for as long as possible and show them as much content as possible. One way to help with this is to make full use of all of the available space. Two great big blank areas either side of a tiny web page is simply just a waste of space. Imagine if you picked up a newspaper or magazine and only half of the front page had got any content on it, the editor would get the sack for sure! So by creating fluid web pages, web site owners can take advantage of larger publishing spaces available on bigger screen users, whilst optimising content for display on smaller screens too.

Another advantage with big screen displays is the ability to use the new area for re-publishing. Re-publishing is a way to put content from another area of your website onto a different page, thereby bringing it forward for the viewer. An example of this that we did on one site we created was to insert an alphabetical list of names of the products available on the website below the left hand menu on pages that were very long.

All pages tend to be different lengths, as determined by the content on the page, so we used a clever widget to create this list of product names and squirt it in the gap until it ran out of space. This was great for SEO too as it gave a direct link to specific product pages based on their product names without having to crawl through category pages first, also website users would often see something in the list they wanted and click straight through to the page and buy the item.

Ultimately this has evolved into what would now be thought of as a web 2.0 ‘tag cloud’ a list of tags that are usually user generated, to indicate and link directly to a specific content group or item. Using a tag cloud is a great way to fill flexible spaces on larger screens that you can fill with what are effectively links to other parts of the website.

How do you make fluid content?

Fluid content is really easy to create, the majority will be words of course, which are naturally fluid so on a small resolution screen you might get 5-10 words to a row, on a larger screen you can get 20-30 words or more. However the challenge comes with images, and particularly website graphics. A photograph, whilst it can be made smaller and larger offline, it can’t be automatically resized by the web browser at the time of viewing (not taking into account the Zoom function in Internet Explorer).

The HTML code that makes up your web pages is again designed to allow fluidity by fitting content into the available page area, so some tips that can be employed to make content fluid include not using tables in the code (which are depreciated these days now anyway), not setting specific screen width in pixels, use 100% instead. By fading images into blocks of colour in the website graphics, you can create a stretchable element that will scale to fit all window sizes. Use little boxes to put stuff in, these can then flow around the screen as required without having to be in any particular place, they also help to draw the eye to special offers, discounts, newsletter sign ups etc, and can of course be styled by your graphic designer with curves and shadows and gradients to look great.

Conclusion

Even if your site is going to be using a CMS content management system there is still a good argument for using a fluid design. In some cases, more so with a CMS, because you have the ability to quickly and easily update content and compose and edit pages so you can adjust them having tested them at different screen sizes. With the huge variety of devices that can display web pages these days it seems the only sensible option is to enable your website to work on them all, not just the most popular sized ones.

If you are not the type of person that wants to spend their time managing an elaborate fruit or vegetable garden, you might consider planting and maintaining an herb garden. While the product might not seem as significant, you will still enjoy the constant availability of fresh, delicious herbs to flavor your meals with.

First you will want to choose the herbs that you will plant. You might have a hard time doing this because of the huge scope of herbs available. But the best way to choose is to do what I did; just look at what you have in your kitchen. By planting your own collection of these herbs, you can save money on buying them from the grocery store while having the added benefit of freshness. Some of the herbs you might start with include rosemary, sage, basil, dill, mint, chives, and parsley among others.

When choosing an area to put your herb garden, you should remember that the soil should have extremely good drainage. If the dirt gets watered and stays completely saturated, you have no chance of ever growing a healthy plant. One of the best ways to fix the drainage problem is to dig a foot deep in the soil, and put a layer of crushed rocks down before replacing all the soil. This will allow all that water to escape, thus saving your plants.

When you are ready to begin planting herbs, you might be tempted to buy the more expensive plants from the store. However, with herbs it is much easier to grow them from seed than it is with other plants. Therefore you can save a bundle of money by sticking with seed packets. Some herbs grow at a dangerously fast rate. For example, if you plant a mint plant in an open space then it will take over your entire garden in a matter of days. The best way to prevent this problem is to plant the more aggressive plants in pots (with holes in the bottom to allow drainage, of course).

When it comes time to harvest the herbs you have labored so hard over, it can be fatal to your plant to take off too much. If your plant is not well established, it is not healthy to take any leaves at all, even if it looks like its not using them. You should wait until your plant has been well established for at least several months before taking off any leaves. This wait will definitely be worth it, because by growing unabated your plant will produce healthily for years to come.

Once you have harvested your delicious home grown herbs, you will want to use them in cooking. Why else would you have grown them? Well first the process begins with drying them out. This is easily achieved by placing them on a cookie sheet and baking them 170 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 4 hours. After they are sufficiently dried to be used in cooking, you can consult the nearest cookbook for instructions on using them to effectively flavor a dish.

If you want to store your herbs for later usage, you should keep them in a plastic or glass container. Paper or cardboard will not work, because it will absorb the taste of the herbs. During the first few days of storage, you should regularly check the container and see if any moisture has accumulated. If it has, you must remove all the herbs and re-dry them. If moisture is left from the first drying process, it will encourage mildew while you store your herbs. Nobody likes mildew.

So if you enjoy herbs or gardening, or both, then you should probably consider setting up an herb garden. It might require a little bit of work at first to set it up for optimal drainage, and pick what herbs you want to grow. But after the initial hassle, it is just a matter of harvesting and drying all your favorite herbs.

The cell phone phenomenon that has altered all of our lives has developed at a bit of a price - now it is tougher than ever to lookup information about a caller. In the old days, it was a cinch to just use an old-fashioned reverse directory, as most numbers were home phones and published by the phone company. Nowdays, it is more complicated, as there are many cell phone providers and numbers are not usually public. What is needed is a good web based reverse cell phone number lookup service.

The good thing is,Thankfully,} these services are available, and they are simple to operate and reasonably priced. Companies that provide internet reverse cell phone searches keep large lists that must be updated regularly. That is why these services are not free - it requires money to keep this rapidly- changing cell phone number data up-to-date.

If you receive phone calls on your cell phone and have no idea who called, it can get very frustrating, as phone number data is so variable these days. With the advent of many cell phone companies and calling networks, the old method of reverse lookup based on the home phone numbers as given by by the phone company is a distant memory.

This type of web site, one that allows reverse cell phone searches, did not exist even a few years ago. Forward-thinking developers saw a niche and created the process of gathering cell phone numbers from many nationwide locations.

Today these sites are invaluable for those who are receiving harassing or unwanted phone calls. Who is calling is now no longer a mystery with these new reverse lookup web sites.

Sign on to any of these new services and you will see how easy and inexpensive it is to do a reverse cell phone number lookup. Just put in the phone number - you’ll have to put in the the area code - and in just a few moments, you’ll be able to find a cell phone number.

There is no need to guess who is calling - just log into one of the many lookup web sites and you will be very surprised at how easy it is to perform a reverse lookup on any cell phone number.
