Power of Social Networking

2011-04-05T00:28:00.000-07:00

To my unexpected surprise, many readers had visited my blog and enjoyed reading it! Thank you!

It have been quite sometimes that I didn't have the time to update my blog. I'm stepping into my motherhood, my daily schedule is getting busy with milk feeding, diapering, etc...and being a Mummy is really not easy, I salute to my Mummy - Thank you, Mummy for bringing me to this world! I love U! Happy Mother's Day!

Lately, I have been surfing into the net and notice that social networking is getting more and more popular in the worldwide. Many businessmen are also using it to promote their online marketing business, and people are using it to communicate with the world out there! Social network tool such as 'facebook' is getting real hot! As of January 2011, Facebook has more than 600 million active users! Woah, isn't impressive! The creator really earning big bucks! How I wish I am as talented as him! Too bad, I'm not rich enough to own a dot.com. Do you know how to be rich without a capital investment on it? If you do, remember to share with me! Haha... Well, let's not 'day dream' = nothing is free in this world, isn't it? :)

Let's talk back about the 'facebook' (social network), the Facebook founder is Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes they have developed the world greatest social network tool and their website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to worldwide, the Public! Woah, even students can use 'zero costing' to develop such a great web tool, impressive right?

Lately, in our nation many parties are using facebook to interact with the people. Even our PM Lee 's facebook also flood with election comments - read more: http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/fit-to-post-technology/pm-lee-facebook-chat-draws-huge-response-155745997.html

What is CSS?

2008-11-09T23:17:00.000-08:00

When you are in your tertiary education, normally you might not have any chance to come across or know what is CSS & what does it stands for. You might be only learning how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver or Web tools such as Blog/Google Site/Multiply/Facebook/etc to develop your site.

In past, IT web developer would only use Macromedia Director to create their sites &/ using simple web tools like Notepad/Ms Frontpage to create their sites.

During an IT Developer job interview, normally you would be questioned on are you skillful enough in CSS? - So what is CSS stand for? What is it?

After researching, I found out that:

Invented in 1997, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a very powerful tool for the Web site developer. They give you the chance to be completely consistent with the look and feel of your pages, while giving you much more control over the layout and design than straight HTML ever did.

There are 3 parts to CSS: the styles, their placement, and the fact that they can cascade.

The Styles One of the more common styles applied to HTML is the color and size of text. In HTML, you would create a blue H4 headline like this:

However, there was no way to ensure that all H4 headlines were red except by typing in the font tag before and after each one. With CSS, you simply declare that all H4 headlines are blue, and for all pages that use that style sheet and all elements that use that style, they will be blue:

I did a research through YouTube and got this below video showing the introduction to CSS:
