I learned the progress bar element from eZine Articles. Watching my article never move but always sitting at 33% made me come back to the site day after day. I really had no intention of writing more articles. I was already there though,

Free plan and a $200/mo plan. Considering I used to pay a friend $10 to do this every time I made a post or two on a niche site... its well worth the price of free, and possibly $200 if you're a serious blogger with a few million applicati

When I first saw the cartoon characters, they were used to display meta information about sites. Overviews, brief tutorials, etc. Now, its just somewhat morphed into the norm. Just imagine if you're a programmer with no design ideals! Yo

After serious amounts of A/B testing, this was the generalized result. A result that is comforting to an user. A result that makes an user agree to decide this is the service they want to try, and be sent to a page with payment options.

I'm on the same road as you. I'm attending my second year at my uni and I only need ~200-300 per month to manage transportation to and from each month. I'm a programmer/designer/philosopher/bioinformatics nerd. My schedule varies too muc

Typically, no. Let us say you have a keyword like 'patio umbrella' to toy with. You've purchased the domain patioumbrella.com and already gained a huge one up in the SEO rankings for Google's algorithm. What's next in line? Creating ori

Whoa. I've been on the Conduit site for about 2 hours now reading up and analyzing all of the apps. It is such an interesting platform. I've never heard of it in my life. I also come to the realization that I was in a generation where a
