Get ready to jump straight into WordPress coding as we continue on with our Wordpress for Designers series. As suggested by many of our readers, we will go straight into WordPress and begin coding our theme. Today, we will cover a basic reset, as well as begin coding our home page. Start your servers, launch your text editor, and let’s go!
There’s a thin line between inspiration and copying. We are surrounded with objects and art in our every day life. Finding inspiration for a design is an easy task these days. In this article, I will guide you through the design process of a website I recently finished. I will provide images of websites that inspired me to create a new and unique web layout. (more…)
We’ll be focusing specifically on Javascript and jQuery today, as we learn how to replace strings of text. Then, in a strange turn that has no place in the video, we’ll review how to correctly access the event object in all browsers (when using pure Javascript).
As of a few hours ago the Envato Marketplaces have their first quarter-million dollar author. DigitalScience broke through our top sales badge and we’ve quickly rushed out a new author badge – the Plutonium Paw 
for authors who have sold more than $250,000 worth of digital goods!
That authors can make as much as US$15,000 a month with the marketplaces is a very rewarding thing to see for everyone here at Envato. And while FlashDen authors are definitely leading the way, we’re seeing solid growth on all the marketplaces, particularly ThemeForest and VideoHive with authors on both earning in the four figures each month.
As always the team is working hard to make our marketplaces truly profitable places for the whole authoring community. We just recently passed 2000 authors with at least one sale and a total community size of over 150,000 people – a staggering number.
So here’s to many more records to smash in the coming years!
It’s time to move on to Day 12 of “Wordpress for Designers!” We are very close to jumping in to our Wordpress coding, but before we do we need to slice out those images. Today, we will have an in depth look at using the slice tool with our .psd to pull out any images needed to complete our theme. Wordpress theme here we come!
On a project at work this week, I was creating a form that needed to have word limitations for each textarea. I found a ton of jQuery character counters, but not many word counters, so I decided to create my own.
After a short break, we are back! Today is a big day as we continue on with our “WordPress for Designers” series and introduce the .psd that we will be converting. Join us as we get to know the ins and outs of the design we are working with and the basics of getting our images out of the .psd and ready for the web.
New month – new competition! I’ll be frank – we’re not receiving many submissions to our “Miscellaneous” and “Joomla!” categories. I’ll be changing that. This month, we’re offering a $200 cash bonus to the first five accepted templates into either of these categories.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between JPEG, GIF, and PNG images we use on the web? As a designer – and especially a web designer – it’s important to know the difference between the different image formats and how to use them in each situation. This article will cover how to use them for each situation to keep file sizes small and image quality high.
