		<description><![CDATA[Header text gets all the love, doesn&#8217;t it? From Photoshop to the browser window, the focus seems to be on design elements like logos, navigation, and of course, header type. It&#8217;s great fun to use tools like Typekit to make your header text something a little less than ordinary. It defines your site, gives you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a very cool feature to have a form field that has prompt text such as Enter search keywords&#8230; right inside the input box, itself. It looks good, it makes sense to users, and it can save a lot of real estate in your design by negating the need for field labels. The problem, however, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re into client-scripting, then jQuery AJAX is probably your thing (if it&#8217;s not, perhaps it should be!). jQuery has some fantastic support for AJAX, and implementing it into your web application is so easy it&#8217;s stupid. The AJAX functionality in the AJAX library is so flexible, sometimes it&#8217;s easy to get lost when you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

Obviously, these tricks won&#8217;t work in Internet Explorer just yet, but look for widespread support coming in the (hopefully) very near future. Most of the new features [...]]]></description>

As with everything else in web design, you have a dizzying arsenal of methods from which you can choose to create this type of design element, and choosing the right method can greatly aid in your design&#8217;s accessibility, performance, and SEO-friendliness. Concerning Accessibility Accessibility is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Web designers would be wise to approach every situation with one thing in mind: simplicity. Simplicity is the cornerstone of designing a well-structured and highly flexible HTML/CSS design. I&#8217;ve found that all too often, many designers approach a website with one thing in mind: the &#8220;look&#8221; of the fully rendered site. They approach each page [...]]]></description>

Apparently, the answer is an overwhelming YES. I&#8217;m very fortunate for having attended An Event Apart in Boston this week. I talked to thought leaders, design experts, tech gurus, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Absolute positioning is a very powerful CSS technique when used properly. Traditionally, when you use &#60;div/&#62; tags and the like, everything in your page design is generally stacked from top to bottom. Using absolute positioning gives you the freedom to place elements of your page just about anywhere you&#8217;d like. Here are some fundamentals of [...]]]></description>
