			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone! I have compiled a nice set of beautiful texture packs. I found these textures while searching for bokeh texture on deviantArt.</p>
<div id="tip"><strong>What is deviantArt?</strong><br />
<a title="deviantART" href="http://deviantart.com" target="_blank">deviantART </a>is the largest online social network for artists. It was created to entertain, inspire, and empower the artist in all of us. You can register for deviantART for free and exhibit, promote, and share your works within a peer community dedicated to the arts.</div>
<p>I have added these textures to my library and thought that you might also like to include in your library too. So have a look at these texture beauties!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone! I am writing a post after long time since I was busy in 12 hours a day tight schedule for almost Six months. Although the experience was very awesome.</p>
<p>So today, we are going to create a very simple Random Color Generator using JavaScript. Some of you guys might think it as very very simple but it&#8217;s really fun to create. If you haven&#8217;t created yet by yourself then I would suggest trying it. It actually takes 2-3 minutes for creating.</p>
<p><a title="Download" href="http://demo.nikhilmisal.com/random-color/color.zip"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2283" style="margin-left: 90px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Download Source Code" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/download-sc.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><a title="Preview" href="http://demo.nikhilmisal.com/random-color" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2284" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 80px;" title="Preview Demo" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/preview-d.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2469"></span></p>
<p>Here we are going to generate Hex Number. For this we will create an Array which will contain numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ and characters ‘a’ to ‘f’ as the range of the Hex Number is from <em>0&#215;000000</em> to <em>0xFFFFFF</em>. Then we will pick an element from an array randomly and place it in the Hex Number.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2477" title="Generating Random Number" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/random_color.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="400" /></p>
<h3>Step1:</h3>
<p>Create an Array</p>
<pre class="brush: javascript">

var hexno=new String;
arr=new Array(&quot;0&quot;,&quot;1&quot;,&quot;2&quot;,&quot;3&quot;,&quot;4&quot;,&quot;5&quot;,&quot;6&quot;,&quot;7&quot;,&quot;8&quot;,&quot;9&quot;,&quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;,&quot;c&quot;,&quot;d&quot;,&quot;e&quot;,&quot;f&quot;);
</pre>
<h3>Step 2:</h3>
<p>We will select an element randomly from array. Math.random() generates random number from 0 to 1 which will be multiplied by 15 (since our array contains 16 elements with base 0). Math.round() will round the number to its nearest natural number.</p>
<pre class="brush: javascript">

var n1=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

var n2=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

var n3=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

var n4=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

var n5=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

var n6=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
</pre>
<h3>Step 3:</h3>
<p>Get a corresponding number for all the six elements and put it in the string.</p>
<pre class="brush: javascript">

hexno=&quot;#&quot;+arr[n1]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n2]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n3]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n4]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n5]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n6];
</pre>
<h3>Step 4:</h3>
<p>Use the string to apply the color.</p>
<pre class="brush: javascript">
window.document.bgColor=hexno;
</pre>
<p>That&#8217;s it. Random Color Generator is ready. Try it out.<br />
Final Code:</p>
<pre class="brush: javascript">
var hexno=new String;
arr=new Array(&quot;0&quot;,&quot;1&quot;,&quot;2&quot;,&quot;3&quot;,&quot;4&quot;,&quot;5&quot;,&quot;6&quot;,&quot;7&quot;,&quot;8&quot;,&quot;9&quot;,&quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;,&quot;c&quot;,&quot;d&quot;,&quot;e&quot;,&quot;f&quot;);

var n1=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
var n2=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
var n3=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
var n4=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
var n5=Math.round(Math.random()*15);
var n6=Math.round(Math.random()*15);

hexno=&quot;#&quot;+arr[n1]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n2]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n3]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n4]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n5]+&quot;&quot;+arr[n6];

document.write(&quot;&amp;lt;div id=&#039;tag&#039;&amp;gt;&quot;);

document.write(&quot;&amp;lt;h2&amp;gt;Hex Color&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt;&quot;+&quot;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;&quot;+hexno+&quot;&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&quot;);

document.write(&quot;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&quot;);

window.document.bgColor=hexno;
</pre>

<h3>Step 3: jQuery</h3>
<pre class="brush: javascript">
&lt;script type=&quot;text/&amp;lt;span class=&quot;&gt;// &lt;![CDATA[javascript&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
$().ready(function() {
$(&#039;.coda-slider&#039;).codaSlider({
autoHeightEaseDuration: 2500,
autoHeightEaseFunction: &quot;easeInOutElastic&quot;,
slideEaseDuration: 2500,
slideEaseFunction: &quot;easeInOutElastic&quot;
});

});
&amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;
</pre>
<p>Add the above script in the &lt;head&gt; tag. This will initiate the slider operation. You can change above value and play with some functions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone, it’s being nearly a month since I have written a post. But once again here I am with little different look of the blog, hope you don’t hate it. <img src='http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyways. Today web development has crossed many heights. HTML5 and CSS3 have really changed the face of web and developers approach towards creating it. If you want to develop a perfect website then the knowledge of basic things and some advanced tools is must. You cannot stop just making website cross browser compatible. Now we cannot ignore the increasing market of portable devices such as iPhones or iPads and their compatibility issues.</p>
<p>Also todays web developer is considered to be aware of application development (like for Facebook or Twitter), widget development, e-commerce websites, web typography, content management systems and other related technologies. So where will you find about all these stuff? Here! Following articles will help you to excel in web development and will also teach you about latest technology and requirements.</p>
<p><span id="more-2352"></span></p>
<h3>1. <a href="http://webdesignledger.com/tips/five-goals-to-strive-for-with-every-site-you-design" target="_blank">Five Goals to Strive for with Every Site You Design</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://webdesignledger.com/tips/five-goals-to-strive-for-with-every-site-you-design" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2353" title="Five Goals to Strive for with Every Site You Design" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Five-Goals-to-Strive-for-with-Every-Site-You-Design.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>Goals are important to have in life. They are especially important for website design, because without any goals, you have nothing to shoot for in the end and nothing to measure your success by. Goals help designers focus on the important things and not lose sight of what you want in the end; goals are what help designers deliver outstanding sites every time.</p>
<h3>2. <a href="http://spyrestudios.com/improving-the-user-experience-of-your-website-with-modal-windows/" target="_blank">Improving The User Experience Of Your Website With Modal Windows</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://spyrestudios.com/improving-the-user-experience-of-your-website-with-modal-windows/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2354" title="Improving The User Experience Of Your Website With Modal Windows" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Improving-The-User-Experience-Of-Your-Website-With-Modal-Windows.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>With new elements of design trending the web it’s no surprise a large portion of these aim towards enhancing the user experience. What better way to help create a more usable environment then to start by properly structuring the way your users interact with key aspects of your websites (i.e. the login process)? This is where the use of Modal Windows steps in.</p>
<h3>3. <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/04/cross-browser-testing-a-detailed-review-of-tools-and-services/" target="_blank">Cross-Browser Testing: A Detailed Review Of Tools And Services</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/04/cross-browser-testing-a-detailed-review-of-tools-and-services/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2355" title="Cross-Browser Testing: A Detailed Review Of Tools And Services" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Cross-Browser-Testing-A-Detailed-Review-Of-Tools-And-Services.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>As you probably know, cross-browser testing is an important part of any developer’s routine. As the number of browsers increase, and they certainly have in recent years, the need for automatic tools that can assist us in the process becomes ever greater. In this article, we present an overview of different cross-browser testing applications and services. Surely, you are already familiar with some of them, and you may have even stumbled across another overview article, but this one takes a different approach.</p>

<p>Whether theming an e-commerce website or doing a full-scale build, one of the most important parts in the whole process is the planning. Planning a build before you start can sometimes seem like a bit of a tedious and time-consuming task, but not only will it make everything run a lot smoother, it will also save a lot of time.</p>

<p>In a time of economic crisis, web developers and freelancers everywhere have started chewing their fingernails. However, no matter how bad the economy worsens, there will always be work in certain booming fields of web development.</p>

<p>The ecommerce marketplace is a very competitive one and a rival site is never more than a click away. If you want to attract and retain customers, you need to make sure that your site is as usable as possible.</p>

<p><em>The control which designers know in the print medium, and often desire in the web medium, is simply a function of the limitation of the printed page. We should embrace the fact that the web doesn’t have the same constraints, and design for this flexibility. But first, we must “accept the ebb and flow of things.</em><em> </em></p>

<h3>9. <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/27/dont-do-it-alone/" target="_blank">Web Designers, Don’t Do It Alone</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/27/dont-do-it-alone/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2361" title="Web Designers, Don’t Do It Alone" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Web-Designers-Don’t-Do-It-Alone.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" /></a></p>
<p>Whether freelancers, small agency founders or website owners, <strong>too many of us work alone</strong>. The downside of the digital revolution is isolation. The Web allows us to do alone what previously would have required a team of people. It also frees us from the constraints of geography, allowing us to work from home. But while these are benefits, they also leave us isolated.</p>
<h3>10. <a href="http://spyrestudios.com/the-importance-and-different-types-of-community-driven-websites/" target="_blank">The Importance and Different Types of Community Driven Websites</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://spyrestudios.com/the-importance-and-different-types-of-community-driven-websites/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2362" title="The Importance and Different Types of Community Driven Websites" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Importance-and-Different-Types-of-Community-Driven-Websites.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Ever since the web began to evolve out of its infancy from the mid to late 90′s online communities in one form or another have existed and flourished. Today we’ve taken the very same fundamental concepts of our ancestry and we have managed to build socially thriving networks that cater to a variety of individuals.</p>
<h3>11. <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/on-web-typography/" target="_blank">On Web Typography</a></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/on-web-typography/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2363" title="On Web Typography" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/On-Web-Typography.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>There are many books and articles on typography, but considerably few explore typeface selection and pairing. With the floodgates poised to open and the promise of many typefaces being freed up for use on websites, choosing the right face to complement a website’s design will need to become another notch in the designer’s belt. But where do we start?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/07/the-principles-of-cross-browser-css-coding/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2364" title="The Principles Of Cross-Browser CSS Coding" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Principles-Of-Cross-Browser-CSS-Coding.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It is arguable that there is no goal in web design more satisfying than getting a beautiful and intuitive design to look exactly the same in every currently-used browser. Unfortunately, that goal is generally agreed to be almost impossible to attain. Some have even gone on record as stating that perfect, cross-browser compatibility is not necessary.</p>

<p>The days of being limited to a handful of fonts on the web are very close to being a thing of the past. The problem is no longer a lack of viable solutions, but rather, an abundance of them.</p>

<p>What does space have to do with becoming a better web designer? Actually, the real connection here is the folks who <em>look</em> at space. The people of NASA are brilliant when it comes to publishing content to the internet.</p>

<p>One of the most influential factors in our buying decisions is the opinions of our friends and relatives. Likewise, a large majority of online shoppers now trust what other customers say about the products they buy more than the e-tailers themselves. The reason is that we trust people who are “on our side,” even if we do not know them personally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What makes a good and impressive blog?  Quality of content or the frequency of posting? Color scheme or the ease of use? Confused! Let’s find out the answers to these questions.</p>
<div class="g1">
<h3>Focus on <em>What</em>?</h3>
</div>
<p>The first question you have to ask yourself is; what are you writing for? Good ranking/PR, getting sponsors and earning money, providing information or teaching. Whatever you do; you have to be best in your field. As this blog is about design and web related contents so I will talk about this niche.</p>
<p>I have categorized the blogs in three fields.</p>
<p><span id="more-2294"></span></p>
<h3>1) Tutorial Blogs:</h3>
<p>These are the blogs which provide tutorials and how to guides. Making a great tutorial blog depends on the way of writing tutorial and demonstrating it. While writing a tutorial following points should always keep in mind.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Write it in STEPS</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Introduce with tools and basic idea behind the tutorial</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Include illustrative images wherever necessary</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Include Final product at the start and end</em></strong></li>
</ul>

<h3>2) Informative Blogs:</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HTML5 and CSS3 are considered as the future of the web. Now you can make your website the way you want using just HTML and CSS. You can use Shadows to text, box, use of gradients, simple animations, embedding Videos and much more. HTML5 and CSS3 have just changed the way; web developers look at coding the site.</p>
<p>In this tutorial we are going to use some of the basic techniques of the CSS3. We are creating simple navigation menu with linear gradient created in CSS3 style sheet. We are also going to use text-shadow effect to give our text a nicer look.</p>
<p><a title="Download" href="http://demo.nikhilmisal.com/css3-style-nav/css3-style-nav.zip"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2283" style="margin-left: 90px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Download Source Code" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/download-sc.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><a title="Preview" href="http://demo.nikhilmisal.com/css3-style-nav/demo.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2284" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 80px;" title="Preview Demo" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/preview-d.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2256"></span></p>
<p>So let’s start with the HTML first.</p>
<h3>STEP 1:</h3>
<p>Create a new HTML file and add an unordered list containing the menu elements.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste">
<div id="nav">
    &lt;ul&gt;
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Products</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Support</a></li>
</div>
</div>
</pre>
<p>Save the file and preview it in browser, it should look like this.</p>
<p><a href="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/demo1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2266" title="Preview" src="http://nikhilmisal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/demo1.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="150" /></a></p>
<h3>STEP 2:</h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now create new Cascaded Style Sheet (CSS) and save it in the same folder as of HTML file.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attach the CSS file to above HTML file.</p>
<pre>

css" type="text/css" /&gt;
DEMO :: Simple Navigation using CSS3 Styling</pre>
<h3>STEP 3:</h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; font-size: 15px;">Add the following style in the CSS file to give your navigation some clean look.</span></p>
<pre>body{
	background: #666;
    font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
}

#nav {
	width: 500px;
	margin: 50px auto;
}

#nav ul {
	float: left;
	list-style-type: none;
	width: 450px;
	height: 44px;

	-moz-border-radius: 10px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 10px;

	background: #e3e3e3;
	background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ccc, #999);
	background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#ccc), to(#999));

	-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #333;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #333;
	box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #333;

	text-shadow: 0 1px 0 white;
}

#nav ul a{
	display: block;
	padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
	list-style-type: none;
	float: left;
	color: #454545;
	font-size: 20px;
	text-decoration: none;
}</pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Applying Shadow:</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">-moz-box-shadow</span></em> is used for Mozilla. Syntax is<br />
<em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> -moz-box-shadow: x-offset y-offset blur color;</span></em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><br />
<em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> -webkit-box-shadow</span></em> is used for Webkit. Syntax is<br />
<em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> -webkit-box-shadow x-offset y-offset blur color;</span></em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><br />
<em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> box-shadow</span></em> is used for Standard Browsers. Syntax is<br />
<em><span style="color: #0000ff;"> box-shadow: x-offset y-offset blur color;</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Applying Gradient:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For Mozilla client gradient is applied using the following syntax</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">background: -moz-linear-gradient(position of start, from color, to color);</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and for Webkit it is</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">background: -webkit-gradient(type of gradient, position of start, position of stop, from color, to color);</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Creating Rounded Corners:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is one of the most beautiful addition to CSS3. You can create rounded corners with just a two lines of code.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Syntax:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">-moz-border-radius: radius size in px;</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">-webkit-border-radius: radius size in px;</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h3>STEP 4:</h3>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> Let’s add some hover effect. Add the following code in CSS file to get cool hover effect.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<pre>#nav ul a:hover{
	display: block;
	padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
	list-style-type: none;
