Favicons for Bookmarking
"I was just looking through some log files and noticed a visitors browser made a few page requests before it actually asked for the favicon, which got me thinking. There's favicons, that small icon in the address bar, but what about an icon designed specifically for when people bookmark your site either in their browser or with some sort of social networking gizmo? Apple iPhones/iPods have what's called an apple-touch-icon, which basically serves the same purpose. Why not regular PC browsers? It would be nice to have something to tell me how many visitors are bookmarking a site."

Nearly Half of Pages Google Indexes use Unicode
"According to a recent Google note, just shy of 50% of the pages Google indexes are reporting a Unicode character encoding. Web pages can use a variety of different character encodings, like ASCII, Latin-1, or Windows 1252 or Unicode. Most encodings can only represent a few languages, but Unicode can represent thousands: from Arabic to Chinese to Zulu. Increased support for Unicode around the web means Google (and others) can work on support for more languages."

Featured Tutorial: Multi-Column Layout Using CSS Float
For this tutorial, we're targeting a layout that has three columns of content with spaces at the top and bottom for a header and footer. The page will be a fixed width and will also be centered in the browser's display area (the figure to your left).
We'll begin with an XHTML page structure in its most simple form. In the <head> of our document, we'll point to an external CSS file.
Once upon a time, web developers used the HTML element <table> to layout content columns. This practice is now recognized as cumbersome and not very semantic.
These days, instead of using <table>, we use the <div> element as a container for content. Once you get the hang of it, using <div> becomes very liberating and greatly reduces the amount of markup needed to layout a page.
This is an intermediate level tutorial that discusses one method of multi-column page layout. It assumes the reader has a good knowledge and understanding of HTML and CSS.
