One of the catch 22’s of owning a blog or site on the cheap is that of not breaking the budget, while tip-toeing around an overly constrictive space/bandwidth quota. Along with countless others, I myself am often hanging in the aforementioned balance. One solution I recently deployed to stretch a little more mileage out of my current hosting package was to serve all my static content via one of the many dirt cheap or even free file hosting services out there.
A few weeks back, CSS-Tricks.com’s Chris Coyier asked me to help him use PHP and the Yahoo Weather API to create a website header that changes based on the weather. Mission accomplished! Skip over to the article and let me know what you think!

A lot of blogs and websites that have a wide range of users tend to have buttons or images that change the text size for easier readability. This can easily be implemented with a bit of JavaScript and some HTML to attach it to. There are libraries out there that do this, but in many cases it is likely overkill. Simplicity is generally better where possible.

A while back I had been working on a website project that required an authentication login system. In order for the login system to properly operate every page of my site needed to check to see if there was a session created and the user was logged in. Some of you may know that in PHP you cannot view session variables without in fact initiating a session. So, for example if you wanted to provide a simple, “you are logged in as Mark click here to logout.” on each and every page you would have to actually start a session to display this message properly.
