If you know more CSS tutorials that dazzle then please leave a link of it in the comments section and we will try to feature them too. You may also like to subscribe to my RSS Feed to stay updated with the, latest articles and events at MakeCashNow.biz.

1. CSS Tabs and Navigation

1.1 Expandable CSS Tabs Tutorial

Expandable CSS Tab increase their size accoring to the size of the text. In it basically two images are used named start.gif and end.gif. The start.gif image is used to expand the size and the end.gif image stay same.

1.2 Advanced CSS Menu

This tutorial showed you how to design a watercolor effect menu in Photoshop. This tutorial will show you how to slice up the menu design (step by step) and put them together with CSS. Most of you probably know how to code a horizontal or vertical CSS list menu. Now let’s take it to the next level — code an advanced list menu utilizing the CSS position property.

1.3 CSS Based Navigation

The goal of this tutorial is to make a CSS based navigation which brings itself to the front as it is highlighted.

1.4 CSS Fancy Menu

In this article you’ll go through the creation of a custom navigation bar with some cute Javascript effects that will certainly impress your friends. Thanks to the great Mootools library, this beauty is contained in 1.5kb. Not only that, but it’s also cross browser (tested on Internet Explorer 6/7, Firefox and Safari) and accessible!

1.5 Sliding Doors

Here, we’ll cover a new scenario where no tab is highlighted, combine Sliding Doors with a single-image rollover, provide a fix for the clickable region in IE/Win, and suggest an alternate method of targeting tabs. We’ll skip a basic recap of the technique (see Part I for this) in favor of jumping right back in where we left off.

1.6 CSS Vertical Navigation with Teaser

In addition to adding teaser information to the navigation, this technique can be modified to add descriptions to any element of page. You could add teaser descriptions to profile names, question-and-answer type FAQ pages, navigation, or a multitude of other applications.

1.7 Overlapping Tabbed Navigation in CSS

A tutorial showing how overlapping tabbed navigation is possible in CSS and can be cross-browser compatible, accessible and javascript free.

2. CSS Rounded Corner

2.1 Box– Rounded Corners for All

The goal of the exercise was to create rounded-corner boxes with visual flare and the absolute minimal amount of semantically correct markup. Oh yeah, and to make sure they could resize while keeping their backgrounds intact. The important relevant XHTML and CSS for the first box on this page is directly below the box.

2.2 Rounded Corners in CSS

the subject of rounded corners in CSS came up so I showed him my method. There are other ways that I’ve seen it done, but the other methods always require lots of complex HTML and CSS. I figure that lots of nested divs aren’t much better than using a table, so my way doesn’t require much in the way of HTML or CSS. Here’s how I do it.

3. CSS Photo Gallery

3.1 Hoverbox Image Gallery

It uses an anchor link for the effect, because that is the only thing that Internet Explorer allows the :hover psuedo-class to work with. While my example page only has # linked to, this could easily be pointed to a full version of the respective images, or a website if you decide to use it for a design portfolio. For now, it uses photos taken by family and friends.

3.2 Cross Browser Multi-Page Photograph Gallery

Based on the look of Suckerfish HoverLightbox, this one uses my multi-page layout system but includes images instead of text.

Unlike the Suckerfish HoverLightbox this version does not use javascript but is pure CSS and still works in IE.

3.3 Sliding Photograph Galleries

This gallery is my simplest yet. It is just an unordered list of images that are normally compressed vertically (reduction 8:1). When you hover over one of these compressed images it expands to full size. It is based on my sliding menu system and adapted to use images. No thumbnails are required and all the images are ‘pre-loaded’.This method can be used either vertically, as shown, or horizontally.

4. CSS Shadows

4.1 CSS Drop Shadows : Fuzzy Shadows

In this article we’ll learn how to:
Hide a stylesheet from non-IE browsers so it doesn’t affect document validation.
Coerce IE5.5/IE6 into displaying PNG transparency correctly.
Use the above to create fuzzy shadow edges for our Drop Shadow effect.

4.2 CSS Shadows (CSS Shadows Roundup)

In this article, we’ll see yet another technique. Most of the existing techniques use negative margins, while I’ve presented almost one year ago on pro.html.it, the italian portal I write for, a really simple version wich uses relative positioning. Thought I’d share it here, with some variations.

5. Other CSS Tips and Tricks

5.1 IE Double Float Margin Bugs

I’m sure we have all dealt with this one, as this is one of the most common css “hacks” we need to use. If you haven’t seen this bug before, basically, a floated element with a given margin suddenly has doubled the margin in IE 6 and has dropped out of position! Luckily, the fix is super simple.

5.2 CSS Cross Browser Transparency

Believe it or not, it is pretty simple to get decent cross browser transparency using css. We can cover, IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and old browsers like Netscape Navigator. Chris Coyier recently came to our rescue again demonstrating these techniques.

5.3 Collapsing Tables: An Example

Each of the tables below has a class called “footcollapse” which makes the script add the arrow images in the footer allowing the table to be collapsed and expanded.

5.4 Content Overlay with CSS

When you hover over the container, a new container is displayed over the existing content. The trick here is the use of position:relative to allow the static content to appear over absolutely positioned content.

5.5 CSS Zooming

I’ve recently been working on some concepts for a redesign of a site that uses a text-resizing widget. The audience for the site is primarily seniors, so large text is important. And, before you start shouting that people should use their browser’s built-in support for this, many visitors to the site are unaware of such wonderful tools and really appreciate a solution built into the site.

5.6 CSS On-Hover Image Captions

This is a combination of the image caption and the teaser technique, I nested the caption of our image within a hyperlink. What I want to do, is hide the caption until the user hovers over the image.

Since a sites ranking is one of the biggest factor in driving free traffic to your content sites or blogs, optimizing a site to get maximum search engine exposure is an increasingly important factor in any marketing effort.

Search engine optimization, or “SEO,” means using technical and not-so-technical techniques to make sure that people searching for topics you write about will find your site.

After getting some great tips from a few site managers I know and doing additional research online I was able to improve the SEO for my site. I was able to distill these tips into some basics that are important to any site that wants a larger share of search engine traffic.

Many sites just starting up would have to focus more than I do on getting incoming links, which is how Google ranks sites (more inbound links = more authority).

Remember that you shouldn’t go overboard with SEO motivated site changes. If you start creating dummy pages with incoming links with the idea of boosting your sites exposure for a certain keyword, you will end up with a lower page rank once Google realizes what you’re doing.

With these caveats in mind, here are some SEO tips to consider:

Get both inbound and outbound links. While Google ranks your sites importance on the number of inbound links coming from other sites, it gives much more weight to in links from authority sites.

Use headlines and title tags with the keywords up front. As you consider search engine optimization for your site, you should think about the most important keywords that people will use when searching for your site in Google.

Search engines tend to put more weight on keywords earlier in the page title. One fallout of having these keyword-filled headlines is that you can’t be as creative as tabloid newspapers can be.

3. Web addresses for your blog posts or articles should include keywords. Similarly, it’s important that the URL for each story contains the keywords from your headline and even the category for the story.

4. Page descriptions should be unique or eliminated. If you grab the first sentence or use the same meta-description on every page, it’s nowhere near as relevant as the description that Google can pull itself from your site, so, if your description is the same on all the pages, you are better off removing it and letting Google auto-generate it.

5. Highlight your best content on every page. One feature that is common on major news sites is a list of “Most Popular Stories” or “Most Emailed Stories.” Having that list in a prominent place on your site, on all pages, would bring more traffic (and inbound links) to your site’s best content, and serve as an entree into the site for people who just came to read one post.

Many readers leave the site after reading only one post, if you make it easy for them to find some of your best work then they may stick around and read more or subscribe to your blog feed if they find your content compelling enough.

Limit the use of title tags and categories and use just the one that is most important. You should highlight only the important categories and put the others on a different page. Using too many tags will create a bunch of links that aren’t really useful. The best practice is to use tags for just the most important keywords.

Create a Google News sitemap and optimize any images. Google recommends that publishers submit special “sitemaps” to help the search engine easily index the sites pages. Sitemaps are dynamic XML files that you submit to Google and are used by their spider to index your content.

Increasing Visitors

Many fruitful websites depend on returning visitors to account for a major part of their traffic. Returning visitors are simpler to convert into paying customers because the more ofttimes they return to a site, the more trust they have in that site. The credibility issue just melts away. For this reason, keep your visitors coming back to your site with the following methods:

One) Start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox

When you start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox, you are providing your visitors a place to voice their opinions and interact with their peers — all of them are visitors of your site. As conversations build up, a sense of community will likewise follow and your visitors will come back to your site almost religiously every day.

Two) Start a web log (blog)

Keep an online journal, or more commonly known as a blog, on your site and keep it updated with latest news about yourself. Human beings are curious creatures and they’ll keep their eyes glued to the monitor if you post fresh novels commonly. You will similarly build up your credibility as you’re proving to them that there is similarly a actual life person behind the website.

Three) Implement Polls And Surveys

Polls and surveys are other forms of interaction that you should surely think of adding to your site. They grant a quick way for visitors to voice their opinions and to get involved in your website. Be sure to publish polls or surveys that are strongly relevant to the target shop of your website to keep them engrossed to find out about the effects.

4) Carry Out Puzzles, Quizzes And Games

Just imagine how numerous office workers procrastinate at work every day, and you’ll be able to gauge how many people will keep visiting your site if you provide a very noteworthy or addicting way of entertainment. You can also hold competitions to award the extreme score winner to keep persons trying continuously to earn the prize.

5) Update constantly with fresh content

Update your site predominantly with fresh content so that every time your visitors come back, they’ll have a good number of thing to read on your site. This is the most widely known and most effective method of attracting returning visitors, but this is similarly the least carried out one because of the laziness of webmasters. No one will wish to browse a site that looks the same over ten years, so keep your site updated with fresh bites!
