		<title>Preloading resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You might have read that when optimizing your site for speed HTTP requests are something to look at &#8211; less requests mean less waiting and usually a faster site. When doing that for CSS you&#8217;re faced with a dilemma: Put all of CSS in one file, which means less requests, but also means that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking your webapp offline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently done a few things that would benefit from having an offline mode. Empowered by Appcache Facts I tried to make the newly published La Vuelta 2011 results page an offline-capable app. Goal The goal of this exercise is twofold: To force caching of resources that slow down the loading of your page. To [...]]]></description>

		<title>Form protection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen a discussion recently on how to protect your forms from spammers/bots that come and fill the forms to either fill your database with crap data or fill your page with porn links. When I read the answers I figured out that none of the people read the amazing article I did years ago, [...]]]></description>

		<title>View Source Alliance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of what I learned on the web in my early years was from &#8220;View Source&#8221;. Then came the books and the conferences. It makes me sad to see lots of sites minifying code for performance and not releasing the full version of the code so other developers could learn from it. It&#8217;s the openness that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motivation and hiring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I ever wrote about motivation much here even though it&#8217;s one of my favorite subjects and was also the main topic of my thesis. Recently I&#8217;ve been thinking about it quite a lot again and I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that it&#8217;s very important to use it to hire the right person. [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTML Lint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Lint Instructions: HTML Lint is a tool that makes sure your code looks good. While XHTML was very strict with syntax HTML 5 is more lenient like previous versions of HTML, which means keeping consistent code styles will become more difficult. Validating is not good enough anymore. HTML Lint is under constant development. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cross-Origin Request Sharing (CORS) knot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a developer for a company that does a lot of cross-domain posting I was happy to see CORS finally happening. I&#8217;ve authored jQuery.windowName plug-in to add support for cross-domain posting in the past and this was my way out &#8211; no more hacks as browser support for CORS grows. Yeah right. CORS is supported [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogging on the iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote the previous post on the iPad in the WordPress app and I was forced to finish it in the browser. Here&#8217;s why: Writing HTML is very hard on the iPad due to extensive keyboard switching. Opening tags are hard, but closing tags are even harder (switch to extended for &#60;, back to symbols [...]]]></description>

		<title>Login code pattern</title>

		<title>iPad Keynote issues</title>

I agree that most of the issues mentioned are a problem, but there are just a few I really care about: No presenter notes. I like my numbers in notes and not on slides. In case anybody asks I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>jQuery 1.4 and 1.4.1 considered harmful &#8211; use jQuery 1.4.2!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never thought I&#8217;d write a &#8220;considered harmful&#8221; post, but this is really way too serious. Do not use jQuery 1.4 or 1.4.1 with user generated content! jQuery 1.4 branch added some great stuff, but let a really ugly bug through. Something that you could call jQuery injection. replaceWith: function( value ) { if ( [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting innerHTML wraps content with DIVs!?</title>

		<title>Screwing up conversion rates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By far the best way to screw up your conversion rates is to go mainstream. The traffic graph is the number of visitors per day while the conversion rate is the percentage of the visitors converted. When you go mainstream your traffic will spike and plateau at a lower level a few days later. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fluid searchbox</title>

When you use a fluid layout it&#8217;s hard to make everything fluid as you need to stretch certain elements and have other elements fixed. I was approached some time ago by a designer who was working on a fluid design but was having problems with a HTML/CSS [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do we have SEO experts in Slovenia?</title>

I&#8217;m not saying all of them are and some do actually give you sound advice (that you could get elsewhere for free). Most of them (assumption as I haven&#8217;t heard of any [...]]]></description>
