Everywhere I look, companies aren't happy just positioning themselves per se, but seem to feel it vital to be positioning themselves against another company, or opposite them. Apple seem to be one of the main favourite targets for this negative campaigning here, with not just Adobe, but Google spending much of their effort earlier this year positioning themselves against Apple.Doesn't this effectively

Are you a heavy coding type? Do you happily write HTML and CSS? Maybe you take it further into programming style languages like javascript, PHP and ASP? This has become more of a point of consideration for us recently. As the coder in the team, it all falls to me to make the technology work for us the best I can. The big question I'm feeling is, "By spreading yourself thinner (learning more languages)

Hi all! Karn back on the loose again.Wow, it's been a long time since my last post, far far too long really. I always think I should put more posts up, but about what? Should I just post anyway?How many times have we all read posts about the value of 'good' content and regular new content being good for your site and profile? Many many times in truth.

There are many articles about the 'history' of MacHeist, and have a look at their About Page for some details

Hi all!Been a long while, but we need to put a few thoughts to you about Beta browsers and developers/users responses to them. This was all brought into a new focus when, just a couple of weeks ago, Apple released the Public Beta of Safari 4.Wow, what a browser, but what an even more amazing response to it! Let us try and put some perspective onto this, which we think shows how unique the response

Hi one and all! This is just a few thoughts on how the movements and growth in the internet might have an effect on the work we all do trying to get our pages to render as best we can on all platforms. We are now seeing the evolving world of browsers gathering pace, with Internet Explorer 8 (from now on referred to as IE8) gathering pace and looking like a significant improvement over IE7 (OK, we all

Hi Everyone!Google has now stated it is crawling Flash content in their Blog HERE. There is still the same caveat, that it only reads text and not images. SWF files are read, but not FLV (like YouTube) files as they contain no text.How will this change things for SEO? Not massively for most of us, but it will help to push the use of Flash forward.

Wow, what a shock to the system! There I was, down in Cornwall visiting my mother with my family, and everything RapidWeaver went mad! The new site was up, 3 different Beta versions had come and gone, everyone was busy posting on the new forum, Apple had release 10.5.3 and all in 48hrs or so.
