My Ramblings
Z Nugget *Copyright Law*
The copyright law of the United States (title
17 of the United States Code) provides for copyright protection of
literary and artistic works. Copyright protection begins automatically
when a work is first created in a fixed form. Cartoons and comic strips
are among the types of works of authorship protected by copyright. This
protection extends to any copyrightable pictorial or written expression
contained in the work.
AWARDZ
"If you build it, they will come." If you built, created or designed it, its our turn to travel.
PUSHED BACK til May the 28th, Flash by Z will be hosting its grand opening of the DynoZ Award Program. To be eligible, your site must be dynamic, interactive and show some form of originality. Accessibility would also be a nice touch. Your site will be evaluated by the way it is driven and navigated. The ideal situation, we catch a nugget to bring home. We look forward to visiting you soon. -The Z team.
Nuggets to know!
These are nuggets. Nuggets are tidbits of information that are posted throughout the site. The more nuggets you relate too, the more likely your site will catch gold.
Z-Nuggets *CSS Mutterings*
Anyone can create unique "tags" in moments. For example, the bright orange
text is the "acronym" tag. When used in conjunction with the "title" tag,
it can provide you with an explanation. LOL!
Z-nugget *Learning PHP? *
Functions are a necessary part of PHP
and a huge time saver. You can use the PHP
built-in functions or create your own. Looking for a way to save time
when you program? Look no further! Creating functions lets you reuse code
over and over.
Z-Nuggets *Wordpress*
WordPress is a state-of-the-art
publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. More simply, WordPress
is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not
fight it. Blogs are ok with us! We simply ask that you
be the theme developer.
Where am I?
Z-Nuggets *Site Navigation*
The key to good site navigation is placement and visual indicators. With PHP and a
touch of CSS this is very simple task:
<?php $currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); ?>
<a href="feed_acn_static.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'feed_acn_static.php') {echo 'id="here"';} ?> title="ACN static feed">static</a>, -when the variable $currentPage is fed the filename "index.php," it will automatically change the "home" link in your navigation to match the a#here{} in your CSS.

Until recently, most of us thought cool graphics, clean code and content were the main keys to a successful site. Now we are realizing that navigation is the area of web design that can make or break a good site. Anyone interested in communicating effectively with its netizen must recognize the importance of navigation.
