Search Your Site with JavaScript, XML and CSS part Three

In part two of this series we ended up with having a small box residing at the side of the screen into which search terms could be entered. If results were found, we displayed another small box below the original box that contained links to the pages in which the search term was found. While this was an adequate display of the results, that's all it was – adequate. We can improve the functionality and usability of the search engine by changing it so that the results are displayed on a page of their own. This article will focus on the steps required in order to achieve this.

Consuming RSS Feeds in ASP.NET 2.0

One of the biggest, most exciting new developments on the internet in the past few years has been the creation of RSS feeds.

According to Internet Explorer documentation, an RSS feed is defined as:

Feeds, also known as RSS feeds, XML feeds, syndicated content, or web feeds, contain frequently updated content published by a website. They are usually used for news and blog websites, but are also used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio files, or video. Internet Explorer can discover and display feeds as you visit websites. You can also subscribe to feeds to automatically check for and download updates that you can view later.

WordPress: How to Take Gila to the Next Level (updated)

If you like to blog in WordPress, and if you’ve searched high and low for a three-column layout, you might have come across the “Gila” theme originally created by BloggingPro. While this theme works “out of the box” from the zip file, it’s an older version that spans the entire screen. Linda used this blog in a number of sites, but she altered the PHP and CSS files so that the site is now as accessible as possible. The new version works well with recent WordPress updates. For the next several articles, Linda will lead you step-by-step on a journey that will help you to create new accessible code for a sturdy three-column theme, as well as show you how to alter the CSS to build a theme that is uniquely “you.”
