Post Images Gallery for Wordpress
Lately, I’ve been working on a website and i found the need for a Wordpress plugin that shows a small gallery of all the images attached to a post.
I could not find a plugin with his functionality anywhere, so I decided to write one myself.
So, without further hassle, I present the Post Images Gallery widget [...]
My First Steps Into HTML5
Today I started coding on my first HTML5 project.
This new standard is very promising, it makes code a lot more semantic and readable, and it also makes our life easyer (or at least, it will eventually).

Speed Up Your Workflow - Do Your Coding Online
Most designers I know build their entire application locally on their own computer, and then upload the files to the clients webserver. For me, this takes too much time. Coding locally, testing locally, uploading on the target server, and test there, just seems 3 steps too much for me. This is a problem that is [...]
Bye Bye, IE6
Yes, I am too dropping support for the outdated but still widely used IE6. It’s old (2001!), it has numerous compatibility issues, it is not safe and it is lacking all the features a modern browser needs. It doesn’t even have tabs. But why do people keep on using it??

The Best Working Music
For me, designing and coding cannot be done without music. Music is the motor behind my work, it keeps me happy and motivated.
But what sort of music is good to listen to? Too loud and screamy music will get you distracted, but too slow and mellow music will too. For me, the best compromise is [...]
