Weekly Link Round-Up #41

Posted on July 28, 2008 in Web | Add a Comment »

Well, another week and weekend flew by. I’m finally starting to work on my redesign/realign, and I hope that I can get it launched in not too long. Here is what I found interesting this week:

  • Any-Element Linking Demo

    Eric Meyer created a demo of his proposed “any-element” linking. This could be an awesome addition to HTML 5 (although who knows how long it will take to actually be implemented).

  • Modal overlays beyond the dialog box

    Modal overlays definitely have become an integral part of the web these days. This is a nice discussion about good and bad uses.

  • Firebug Lite

    Instead of only being able to use Firebug in Firefox, you can use the lite version (a bit of JavaScript) to utilize Firebug functionality in other browsers. It was definitely finicky, but it’s a big upgrade from other debugging tools.

  • Silverback

    The much anticipated Silverback finally launched. I’m going to have to find the right time to use that 30 day trial. This looks so awesome.

  • A Small Design Study Of Big Blogs

    Blogs are obviously a huge part of the web. Smashing Magazine takes the time to examine the 50 most popular Technorati blogs to investigate design trends and more. Definitely a good read.

  • Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide [PDF]

    Google has released a free 22-page Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide containing plenty of well-written, practical and straightforward advice for webmasters. If you've been looking into SEO for a while it probably won't contain anything new for you, but it's useful as a set of guidelines as to what Google considers to be good optimization practice. (psst, Google, with just a little design work it could have looked so much nicer!)
