LESS CSS, form validation, landing pages and more – The Monday December 12th Roundup
Oh tech errors reverting me back to an early autosave. What a pain. Goes to show that no matter how much experience you have with this stuff, some how fate always manages to throw sand in the gears now and then.
Anyhow, I’m off for the holidays come next week so we may lack some roundups for a bit. In the meanwhile posting will go on as usual.
This week we have LESS CSS, web form validation, landing page mistakes and more.
Ok, I love this post. Copyblogger complains about the term “ROI”, stating that, by definition, marketing doesn’t have an ROI. Sure, it’s nitpicking, but it’s Copyblogger. They’re all about using words correctly. Bonus: it’s also all done as a dialog. Oh, memories of Phil 101…
Analyze
Kiss Metrics has a post on making web analytics work for you… in case you haven’t yet. For the most part it’s the same analytics advice you’ll find anywhere, except they start it out with some fantastic advice on something that doesn’t get talked about too much in analytics: setting good goals. Not like good analytics goals, I mean good real-life goals.
Some have compared him to the Dalai Lama, others to Kublai Kahn. When he isn't teaching third world children how to purify water with nothing more than a plastic bottle and a garden hose, he is creating mad waves for surfers off the west coast with little more than a paddle. Some say there is a boat involved, others that he walks on water.
Little is known about his background. he appeared from nowhere 15 years ago and claims heritage from a land with neither want not need. He makes little comment, stating only that it was a pretty cool place.
Fire does not burn him, cold does not hurt him. Words could... but they don't. When he passes, pedals fall off branches. When he speaks, hair tugs at skin, pulling just slightly in his direction.
He does not sleep but he does dream. He has muscled his way into the lives of the famous and whispered his way into their hearts. And in the wee hours he plays oboe softly, as if to sooth the night to sleep.
