I am just about done with Nancy Gordon and The Gordon Group, LLC’s (Nancy…you’re the expert and I hope I got the punctuation correct) website.  We launched yesterday and her first post on the re-launched site was a very nice thank you and referral to me.

It is so nice when people do say Thank You.  I still working on a little blog piece on all the games on Facebook but one thing for sure is that most of the games made me feel is good about all the “thanks” and the “rewards” and the “collecting the money” and visiting “your friends” or “neighbors”.  Real life doesn’t always give you that “warm and fuzzy” feeling so it’s can feel really nice to get it someplace, even if it’s virtually.

On that note, do check out The Gordon Group, LLC at www.thegordongroupllc.com.

When you want to give someone a URL for the contact page of your website, they can access that page directly by entering that URL in the browser’s address bar.   With flash sites you usually have to say , “Go to mysite.com, click About MyCompany, and click Contact Us.”  If an entire website is built in a single FLA file in Flash, then when the file is published and the resulting SWF file is placed on a web page, there is only a single page—a single URL—to load in the browser for accessing the entire site. There is no way to access any section of the site directly.

I have several pages on my site that use the “flash menu” for navigation but are actually single url pages for easy linking.

This article talks about publishing “Flash with Named Achors”.

Powerful CSS-Techniques For Effective Coding

Another list of resources with some “ready to use” solutions for CSS hacks.  Again, this is a little dated now but still useful.

CSS is one of those design things that is a constant learning experience.  I find, figure out, solve so many problems by playing around with various css layouts.
