A co-worker put me onto a nice site that is good for designers everywhere. He gives links to download tools he has found or created himself. The only problem I have is the servers he puts his downloads on are blocked by my corp firewall. I guess I will have to grab them at home. Here he has a free Photoshop brush set for creating amazing shining, blinking & glow effects. Also it’s useful for designing Milky Way, glows, flashes… whatever you want.

Embedding a Google Calendar on your website is very simple. Open your calendar and click “manage calendars”. Now click the share link on the calendar you want to share and go to the “calendar details” tab. Scroll down to the “Embed This Calendar” section and copy the code and paste it into your website. You can even customize the size and colors to match your site. Piece of cake!

When you create a html table and apply a border using CSS, then the empty cells do not have a border. So you pull out your CSS book and find empty-cells:show; and think your problems are solved but empty-cells is unsupported in IE…go figure. But I have found a combination of styles that work. Try this…apply the border-collapse:collapse; and empty-cells: show; to the table level and IE will display borders around empty cells.
