by Gennie Tan at 2:45 pm

No doubt, Firefox is the most widely used browser among the designers and developers. One of the many compelling reasons why Mozilla Firefox is so popular is it's endless trove of free awesome add-ons. These amazing add-ons have been a great help to the designers and developers. Here are the top 5 essential Firefox add-ons that designers should know and should be equipped with!

 

Firebug

Firebug

Firebug is the one of the most popular Firefox add-ons among the designers. It allows you to edit, debug and monitor the CSS, HTML and JavaScript of any live web page. The best of all, every change that you make can be previewed live and instantly.

8 Flash Preloaders Worth Waiting For

CS Ling
by CS Ling at 2:49 pm

Flash preloader may well be one of the most crucial element of a flash website. An interesting and user-engaging preloader gets the user's full attention and stick around longer for the site to load. Here are 8 examples of engaging flash preloaders that are worth the wait :)

AgencyNet


Unconventional and contemporary loading style. The usual loading bar stays in one area of the screen but this not only explodes throughout the whole screen, user can play with the moving trail created by the loading numbers. As if that is not outstanding enough, the loading for the inner contents is just as stylish as the former.

One Minute Fly; One Lifetime to Fly

CS Ling
by CS Ling at 6:50 pm

A friend of mine recently posted this video on my Facebook as this fly reminds her a lot of myself and my Life List.

When i first watched the clip, i laughed uncontrollably. This fly only has a very limited lifespan of 1 min and within this one minute, he has to accomplish a list of things before it dies. Before you know it, the 4 minute clip ended. The ups and downs, adventures and mishaps, happiness and sadness you experienced with the fly in the 4 minute clip has a deeper and more profound meaning than it seems on first glance.

You will never know when will be your last day on Earth, so live each day to the fullest. I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way, that time is not limited or unlimited. It's unmeasurable, you will never really know how much time you have left. Just like no one really knows how huge the Universe is.

An Earth day = average amt of time for Earth to rotate once about its axis = 24-hour day
An Earth year = 48 weeks ( 48 weekends is not a lot if you think about it, isn't it? )

What would you do if you are the 1-min fly?

by CS Ling at 6:20 pm

Carousels are not only lots of fun to look at, they are also one of the most efficient ways to showcase important contents at prime areas of your website.

So go ahead and spice up your online playground with some merry-go-round! There is no magic number of contents to feature but we reckon 3 - 5 rocking horses should do the trick.

Here are some of the more creative and inspiring ways to do the spin!

Clever use of transparent PNG and shadows to create the floating effect. Pretty awesome to view the whole site on a widescreen computer.
