In the past month or so I have wrote three articles/tutorials on various CSS3 elements that the developers of CSS3 have been working on, I've shown you some of my favorite new features such as the border-radius attribute and box-shadow, but I have had to stress on each article that only certain browsers will allow to use CSS3 modules and elements. The main two browsers that have supported CSS3 along it's on going development path are Mozilla Firefox and Safari, both using there own frameworks the moz and webkit, with Mozilla constantly making revisions to there browser and currently working on Mozilla Firefox 3.1 (Currently in BETA) alot of CSS3 is supported and able to be displayed, similar with Safari, particularly the latest version of Safari (which is version 4 BETA) packs in more CSS3 into the webkit and like Mozilla people are able to use CSS3 and see the effects.

Rolling out the next website development tool we bring you the Whois Domain Lookup tool. Which is simply a domain query tool. This tool allows you to enter either the domain or IP Address of a website and look at certain information such as where the domain is hosted, it's creation and expiry date and more. The tool gets this information from InterNIC Whois database which is updated daily. Information such as when the database for that domain was last updated is also avaliable to look at, however because we are using a standard whois database you will also see alot of random information such as terms/use of the database, we can't remove it as it's part of Internic's policy. But the information you want is at the top and easy to find!

Using the script that was featured in this tutorial I have created a public image uploader, which is free for anyone to use. Yes there are alternative services which are dedicated image/file hosts, ImageShack being one of them, but I have the webspace for small uploads and im not going to completly visually rape you with silly advertisements so why the hell not!

Back in January 2009 I did a somewhat new year suprise to you all and made the new 2009 theme, "Renovatio" for James' Blog more of a suprise than anything as I'd been developing the theme and did not make any post about it, and one day *poof* new theme to James' Blog and I got very good responces from people saying it was a good improvement and they really liked it, but the theme took longer than expected because of display issues in different browsers. Which brings me onto a somewhat article/rant about browsers.

In part two, we installed almightly PHP language onto our localhost, with that you can now run php scripts and code offline on your localhost, but for example what if you want to test a script that needs a database your basically stuck aren't you? Well to handle databases there's something called MySQL, this is simple a relation database management system and is present on most web-servers avaliable today.
