Last year, I signed up for a Social Media training conference which was hosted online and I wasn't sure about it because the website design looked a little too hokey for me. I decided to take the risk and paid out the $600 to sign up. End result was that I learned A LOT about various content ideas, social media management, tools, etc. that I sing it's praises whenever possible. This year they are running a promotion for 50% off through April 14th so the cost is $297.

I ran across this site the other day and thought it was a nice introduction to several basic CSS positioning techniques as well as a few more complicated items. It would be most useful to a beginner but even an expert might get a refresher out of it. It's not exceptionally visual and requires a lot of reading but by the end of each tutorial, you feel like you can repeat the technique....and/or... lift the code and repeat. :-)

I ran across this posting the other day and thought others out there might also find it interesting.

Anyone interested in providing video to ALL consumers should check out the latest blog post from Greg Rewis (Assorted Garbage). Greg is the principal evangelist for Creative Suite at Adobe and he and his wife Stephanie (Sullivan) Rewis have been testing out the latest and greatest in HTML5 and CSS3 with some great results. The best part is that they are very willing to share.

In his October 11th post, Rewis discusses an approach to offer up Flash to browsers that can support it with a fallback to native video (H.264).
