When your project fails…
Jan 31st
So, let’s say you’re working on a project. It’s filled with your blood, sweat, and tears. You’ve been working on it through nights, barely sleeping at night, drinking large amounts of coffee during the day to stay up. Putting all into it. But then everything goes wrong.
Well, we’ve all been there, many times. If you’re a web-developer, it’s a natural part of your life. It’s a natural part of mine too. Let me tell you my story.
Mobile Websites (tips)
Jan 11th
I’ve recently started working on some mobile websites. You’ll notice that davepcguy.com has its own mobile alternative as do some other sites. Mobile devices are growing in number and gone are those days when internet was viewed only on the computer screen. WAP is not even used either so that old school coding is gone too.
These days, almost everyone has an iPhone or a BlackBerry, or a Palm device. Some of us even have other devices like PSPs, tablets, and others that require quite a bit different formatting. Here’s how to go about making your mobile website.

Only A Quote
Dec 23rd
We here at DavePCGuy have finally launched our first independent website, done completely without an outside sponsor!
It’s called Only A Quote. Basically, what it is, is a database of quotes from different kinds of places (added one at a time to ensure quality) where the users only see a single quote with a random button and other information. You click the “Random” button and you get another quote. It’s a lot nicer than all the other quote websites because it’s not just some stupid quotes in a table with a lame design.

CSS3 Lesson 3: Background Information is Essential
Dec 16th
Let’s have a look at backgrounds. In the previous two tutorials, I’ve covered borders and opacity. In this tutorial, we’ll cover some of the basic CSS3 additions to the background properties. If you have no idea how to deal with backgrounds in CSS, read my tutorial on backgrounds pre-CSS3. CSS3 is gaining momentum in the Web development world and many properties are already supported by most browsers (Firefox, Konqueror, Safari, and Chrome) as well as some minor browser (Opera). If you want to stay on top of the game, you have to learn the new stuff and employ the new techniques you’re presented with.
In this tutorial, I’m going to cover:
- background sizes
- multiple backgrounds
- background origin/clip
Success!

Okay, I have to thank all of our readers and people that have supported us along the way! It has been over three months now since we launched DavePCGuy.com

CSS Trick: Disappearing Textbox
Oct 30th
Remember that trick to show a sub-menu using CSS in my older tutorial? Well, I had an idea for a project of mine, and with a little help from my dear friend Raphael. Last night, I launched my little website project called “A Night Story” and made some tweaks. Ignore the story, it’s just a concept. If you hover over the word “city” in the text, you’ll see another textbox appear with more information about the word.

Alright, alright. So I skipped all that fuss with horizontal navbars but that stuff is easy so I’ll create a short article on it later.

CSS: Lesson 3
Sep 27th
Lesson |
3 |
So, here we are, another CSS lesson. What do I plan to teach you today? Well, a couple of things, in my last Lesson, I discussed padding and borders among other things. Those are all part of what is called the “Box Model.” I’ll finish up discussing that theory with outline and margin. After that, we’ll look at lists and tables, probably in the next tutorial. So here’s what you’ll learn today:
