Tip: Kid’s web browsers
If you are a parent, you might be interested to know, if you don’t already, that there are web browsers specially made for kids. (Web browser is the thing you watch web pages with, like Internet Explorer.) There are several, and as a childfree I haven’t tried them, but you should! These browsers are designed to filter out inappropriate content to make the web a safer environment for your kid. From a content producers point of view, I find it sometimes tiring having to watch my words so that kids won’t get bad influences....

Most of us have a Facebook account, and the more popular Facebook gets, the more attractive it is for hackers, who want to use your squeaky clean profile as their cover when doing something you would never do.

We have all heard, that you should check your code that it is properly generated. Your site should look the same on every browser and every computer. It should also look the same if a colour blind person looks at it. It shouldn’t contain images so that it’s easy to download with slow connection, and you shouldn’t use browser specific markup language. Quite frankly, I personally think all of the above is more or less crap. The thing is, that today most “civilised” countries have a reasonable Internet connection...
