Nested Lists – Web Development 101
Recently I was debugging a problem on a site I’m developing. As it turns out the issue dealt with a script I was using for the site navigation, which was an unordered list of links for the pages of the site. The list contained nested lists that were links for sub-sections of the site. Unable to come up with a quick fix on my own after going through my code, I turned to a web development technical forum for assistance.

For those trying to enhance a skill set, learn a new one, or anything else that isn’t at the top of the seasonal priority list, a New Year’s resolution is often the solution to “get back to it”. This doesn’t have to be the case however…
Jigsaw Puzzles and Web Design
Imagine working on a thousand-piece puzzle without having a picture on the box to guide you. What happens when you get to the very end, only you can’t seem to find the last piece to finish off the puzzle? Every once in a while, we all get stuck on something, and can’t figure out what the missing piece is. Sometimes, we don’t even realize we’re missing a piece to begin with…
