I was in Maui with my girlfriend over Christmas, and I had a problem you might have encountered before. We’re taking our rental car (a Ford Mustang convertible, incidentally) back to the airport, and we have absolutely no idea where to get gas. W...
I discovered Oscar Alexander’s tutorial on snazzy HTML rounded buttons a while back, but needed it for something just a minute ago. It’s a fantastically easy way to create really attractive link buttons without much work and without using Javascri...
