Today’s post features the second Cascading Style Sheet(CSS) Video Tutorial on creating horizontal tabs such as are used for the top navigation of this website. The video is 4 minutes in length.
What is most excellent about CSS is how a few lines of code in the styles greatly alters the visual structure of a page element.
With a recently purchased microphone headset the quality of the recording is greatly improved. Let me know what you think and what else you would like to learn about in subsequent tutorials.
If you author a blog or create artistic work, you need to be aware of licensing issues. There are two sides to this coin:
Make sure your material is protected from plagerism.
Ensure that you are staying within the bounds of the law when referencing or using other people material.
Far too often I see license infringements on the web. It is very easy to overstep the bounds even if you are fairly familiar with the guidelines. The two most common infractions I see are:
Using photos, video or text that is not granted by written permission or used under the stated fair-use guidelines.
Traditional copyright statements offer the strictest protection for creative. If you publish or create high-quality artwork, it’s worth noting below the piece itself. Copyright laws have long-standing precedence and the lines are fairly cut and dry.
With the arrival of the web publishing explosion of the late 90’s, there arose a new level of awareness and questions regarding copyright infringement and and fair use. What can be reused, how much of it? and how does the author or artist maintain control over their work?
Attribution: Others may use your work if they give you credit.
Noncommercial: Folks can use it but not to make a nickel. This one to me is a bit grey as many blogs have advertising where they make some money but are generally considered "personal pages".
No Derivative Works: Others can use it, distribute it, etc. but not manipulate it or use it in the creation of another derivative work.
Share Alike: The distribution of the work has to keep with the original authors or artists stated license level.
Make your selection and it generates the code for your license button. Select the code and place in your footer or sidebar and presto you’ve licensed your work according to these guidelines.
If you have specific usage questions that you don’t readily find answered on the Creative Commons site, ask me and I’ll do my best to provide some answers from a professional perspective.
