jQuery has changed the way many Ajax developers code. Its simple and easy to understand framework is second to none. Along with the development side of things, jQuery also opened the door for designers to create awesome interfaces with features that were not possible before. Creating themes for jQuery components used to take time, but with a little help from Filament Group, making themes is, well… fun.
There are more short URL generators than you can shake a stick at. Some of these generators have been upping their service to more than just offering short URLs.

When creating a web application it is essential that we test to see if it will work in the “real world” before releasing it into the wild.

Writing the .htaccess file for our website is a pain. Many times when I want to do something simple, I end up denying access to one part of my website or another. Another problem I run into is removing the “www” and sending visitors to specific error pages. No longer will this be a problem, thanks to .htaccessEditor.

Most popular blogs and websites have those small 80 pixel x 15 pixel buttons on their website. (Maybe that’s why they’re so popular? Not really.)

This little web application will help you make that familiar “RSS VALID” badge and help you create a few custom ones yourself.
