it’s impossible to create round-corner boxes with just html and css. at least not yet. maybe the next standard?

i find this step-by-step guide on creating round corner boxes useful.

unfortunately i’m not a graphics person and creating images for those corners seems tedious. if you’re like me and don’t want to do ‘the hard work’, you might want to try RoundedCornr – online html, css and image generator for round corner boxes.

list and reviews here and here.

according to the comments to these articles, stay away from OsCommerce – this comes up top from google search.

need some dummy / random text as content prototypes but don’t want to use text like ‘content here’ or ‘blah blah blah’? very often you see dummy text beginning with ‘Lorem ipsum…’.

try this lorem ipsum generator to generate paragraphs and lists of text. the site also explains that it’s not a random text but taken from a latin literature.

even though there are standards, some browsers still like to use their own standard, like … IE (surprise!?) – different versions of IE will also render your site differently.

in addition, there are million browsers and platforms out there. you can’t install everything nor have all those platforms to check your website compatibility.

to check what your site look like in other browsers and platforms, use this tool to ensure your site is more or less consistent or not too far out. note: be patient, it may take a while to get screenshots.

want to display your email address on your site but don’t want it to be harvested by spammers? make an image of your email address with email icon generator.

i’d also suggest not to create a link to email you, ie <a href="mailto:email address“> because it can be harvested by spammers too. if people really want to contact you, they are willing to type your email address.
