Optimal HTML width: 960 pixels
October 7, 2008Assuming a screen resolution of 1024px, what should be the optimal HTML page width?
Cameron Moll shares an interesting concept: a 960-pixel page width. One of the reasons is due to 960 being divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, and 960. It sure offers a lot of grid possibilities.

Inserting Unicode into MySQL
August 26, 2008If Unicodes end up as funny characters after inserting into MySQL, then try executing SET NAMES ‘utf8′ immediately after obtaining a DB connection. For example:
$link = mysql_connect(‘localhost’,'myuser’,'mypassword’);
mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8′”);
mysql_select_db(‘mydb’);
