Help your children learn the alphabet by using this interactive, voice-based application with colourful cartoons and letters.

This educational application is based on 2 activities: one for learning the letters through examples (a female voice pronouncing the letter and the associated cartoons) and one for playing with the newly learned letters by choosing the correct one from a list of five.

The entire game is voice assisted allowing your child to start a session of learning or playing without the help of an adult.

We just launched kids-apps.mobi, a showroom dedicated to gathering in one place iPad and iPhone/iPod touch applications for children.

It intends to be a collection of only the best applications for your kids offering a easy way to find what you are looking for without the need of searching the entire Appstore for this.

Have you ever tried to understand how IE8 behaves when searching? As a non-IE user I am used to going to the top right box, type a word and receive instantly the page with the search results. I work mostly with Mozilla and sometimes with Opera and Chrome (when I’m in a hurry and I need a page to load fast, I admit). So for me, as a user, the entire search process is transparent. I don’t even pay much attention to what search engine each of them uses. I know they are going to return some results and I’m always in a hurry.

It’s Friday, I was thinking to have a little fun and offer you this brand new multibrowser addon to create pixel-perfect layouts based on a horizontal grid.

We will also think about a vertical one, or mixing vertical and horizontal grids to bring some happiness into designers’ world

Suggestions and improvements are welcome and much appreciated.

We have launched the first ebook “Fairy Tales” by Brothers Grimm which contains a set of 62 beautiful bedtime stories.
It is built as an iPad application available for download on Appstore.

The application has a beautiful and usable interface allowing the user to choose the font, the size of the text and to switch to night-mode for a better reading experience during the night. It saves your current reading position in realtime so you can close the ebook at anytime and return to reading it later.

I was writing the other day about the importancy of the H1 heading and the necessity to use quality headings and content.

I started to search for big-names-earning-money-from-good-websites in order to find good examples of smart headings in their index pages. In case anyone would ask: “Ok smart….girl, show me a million dollar website if your’re so….” I would definitely say: “Look at Amazon or HP or BMW you…..” They have the money to buy web experts in case they don’t have an in-house department. They shoud know better than anyone how important is to have a good website.

But I can’t. Amazon, HP and BMW all have something in common. They all start their index page with a H2. Well it’s not the end of the world. Their pages still look good and at least they don’t say “welcome”

I needed a plugin to help me send the last posts of my blog as email to my subscribers. I chose 6 that might solve my problem and here they are, in alphabetical order, with all their good and bad features.

Google came with a new idea in their list of web toys.: a font directory that allows you as a web developer to include some “fancy” fonts in your pages without struggle. We prepared a tutorial to teach you how to play with this new API and a test page so you can download the code and use it in your website.
