Source: It’s Called Web Design
Go into “wp-includes/formatting.php”, line 1333 (line 853 for version prior to 2.7).

INGREDIENTS (2 persons):

4 Big Squids

Ok, here I am. Why did I put the “cooking” tab into my blog?
While surfing on youtube, I hit on a video by Corey Vidal*: “Blend Your Own Adventure! (INTERACTIVE)”. IMHO he’s the first one who used the youtube’s “link to another video” feature in a creative way. How? You can “play” with his videos and create different adventures. This is something like the Role-Playing Books of the 90s, in [...]

Your husband/wife/mummy/flatmate ask you to buy some juice. You go to the supermarket and, while looking to the juice shelf, you [...]

That’s not easy to talk about this topic, expecially if 80% of world population nuts on the first sentence I used in my <h1> (Photoshop tutorials) and I want to focus on the latter (Photoshop virtuosity).
Here, as usual, comes the marketing. First of all, why did I used the sentence I love less as main one in my title? SEO, SEO, SEO. Well, if you are reading this, and you [...]
