Creating a JavaScript “Set As Homepage” Link
The unfortunate part about creating websites for customers is that no matter what recommendation I make, if they want it, I have to give it. Thus is the case with recently adding a "Set As Homepage" link to a customer's website. Homepages are much more useful to the user when they're set to Google, Yahoo!, another portal, or they're webmail. To each their own, I guess, so here's how you create a "Set As Hompage" link using JavaScript.
The JavaScript
function set_homepage()
{
document.body.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';
document.body.setHomePage('https://davidwalsh.name');
}
I don't want to say that this link is tacky necessarily, but I think it's a bit obnoxious. If the user wanted your site to be their homepage, you wouldn't have to ask them. Also note that this only works in Internet Explorer.

![Creating Spacers with Flexbox]()
I was one of the biggest fans of flexbox before it hit but, due to being shuffled around at Mozilla, I never had the chance to use it in any practice project; thus, flexbox still seems like a bit of a mystery to me. This greatly...
