Consider this:
You have a place to go, that is the goal. You have a vehicle to go, that is the mean, and you will arrive/have done in X quantity of time.
So we have three variables in this problem. Vehicle, goal and time.

I only put my favorite extensions, I don’t like mumbo-jumbo lists. If you have some other, just comment about it.
Oh, and I hope to redesign this blog in few weeks, so stay tuned.
In the old offline times, when you read a newspaper for example, you can’t say something to the other readers or tell to the author of the article your point of view.
However, in this social connected world, now We can do this in a variety of ways.
But we still writing in old school way sometimes. First, don’t talk to the mass, talk directly to your reader. Yes, because now read something is chat-alike. I’m talking to you, my dear reader, and later you read my message, you can reply, and later I can reply too.
That is the new paradigm in the blogs, twitter, and every social site. Multi-directional communication. So move it to write in this way, do you think?
I use YUI CSS grids to build templates. So this time I need to stick the footer at the botoom, and I tried some techniques, but I need to do an hybrid of these to find the solution.
I’m starting this new blog with this little suggestion: avoid ajax logins.
Ajax it’s really cool and handy, I know, but for a login page only can be useful in very particular cases. In the rest, only helps to save time to the hackers when do brute force on your site.
How works an ajax login?
The users fills the login form and press the submit button.
The server responses if the login it’s Ok or wrong, usually with an string or Json.
If the login it’s Ok, the server sets a cookie with the user info (usually the user id) and the Javascript redirects to the user home.
If the login fails, shows an error messages and the process starts again.
Why avoid it?
First of all, doesn’t work on IE8, because its don’t allow to write a cookie in async request.Actually works, that issue was in the beta version.
In the most cases, if the login is ok you will redirect to other page, so the only adventage of an ajax login is save some seconds saying “login error” more fast than reloads the website.
Is not accesible (the user must have activated javascript and they browsers need to support ajax).
You need to develop and test more for no advantages
Isn’t KISS ! More unnecessary complex, more problems!
