		<description><![CDATA[When I first looked at e-books several years ago there  was a format war going on to no very great effect. Today, as e-readers seem poised to finally go mainstream, it looks as though there are two formats that are becoming standard: pdf and epub. This article begins looking at the epub format.

		<description><![CDATA[The pupose of an online portfolio is to enable you to point future employers or clients to one single site on the web where they can make a preliminary assessment of you.

You will need to find (or create) a Wordpress theme that allows you to display yourself as clearly and stylishly as possible. The look and feel of the site will be as important as the actual content in determining the first impression that users get. If the site looks messy, or is difficult to naviagte, potential clients or employers may not even bother to dig into the site to find the content that you know is fantastic.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I rediscovered the CSSplay site by Stu Nicholls, a man who seems to have spent every waking hour for most of the last decade solving the most arcane cross-browser problems imaginable in css menus. A look at the front page of his site, though, reveals that this is only the tip of a very interesting iceberg.

It contains nothing that you could not do yourself in Photoshop in ten minutes, but since it consists entirely of sliders and fields then (in some circumstances) it might prove easier.
