Servage Magazine

It's not always easy to illustrate a homepage with good quality photos because the right object to photograph or a good camera is not always available. However, there are plenty of resources online where you can get very impressive imagery for your website legally and free of charge. One of the places is the photo-community Flickr. The problem with using other people's photos is the license. As a rule of thumb you are not allowed and should never use imagery from other websites, unless it is clearly stated that it is ok to do so. Otherwise you could get into (legal) trouble. The good news is that you can use ...

The World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) is asking everyone to turn of their lights for one hour starting at 20:30 on tomorrow, Saturday, March 28th, in an attempt to create awareness and interest for the world climate and energy saving.

The example in this article will render a simple horizontal menu with submenus that are displayed when you move the mouse over the menu. » You can see a live example here. Let me start by introducing you to the HTML code of the menu. It is structured as nested lists so that even displaying the HTML source code without ...

I have come to like it especially because of the many available extensions (plugins/add-ons) that are available. For web development I found ...
