HTML Tutorial 103: Design with tables and CSS

... published July 31, 2007

HTML - HyperText Markup LanguageYou know how to write a valid XHTML document, however, the page is still not as nice looking as ruelicke.net or google.com or any other website out there.

What I teach you today is not how to create a professional website, but it is the basic design method any web programmer started with.
It is the old school table, but I add Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to the table to get it a nice look.

But before you can start, you need to have an idea how you want to structure your page. The best thing to do is to grab a piece of paper and make a draft. As example I made a draft in a graphic program, although I prefer the paper method:

Star Wars - The Musical

... published

Once again I stumbled upon an interesting and funny thing on the Net.

We all love the Star Wars movies…let’s assume there was a musical of it. Would you visit it? I would, that’s for sure.

After I saw a post at thereeltodd.com I had a closer look at it. So I visited the homepage of the Star Wars musical and what I saw…well, I downloaded all the MP3s there so I can enjoy the musical whenever I want to :)

There is a video on YouTube based on the musical which was made by some fans.
In my opinion it is worth watching it.

If you want a different video, you can download a QuickTime movie. It is using actual footage from the movie Star Wars: A New Hope. Special thanks to infauxmedia.com who created the video.

Welcome, Viky!

New Homepage + Blog Design

... published July 24, 2007

Here it is, my new homepage.
I took me a bit more time than expected to get it done because I had some trouble with my arm and had to rest it. Well, at least my homepage has a way better design than before, although I decided to stick to the color scheme. I also added a couple of Ajax features, just for the fun of it ;)

Together with the re-design and re-coding of www.ruelicke.net I also adjusted the design of my blog. I hope you like it :)
