Wish Lists

Almost every website you visit today has a wish list of some sort. A way to get you to register and put everything in one simple list. Of course I dont know of very many people that actually can find EVERYTHING they wanted from Amazon or Think Geek.

So Bry.Net has created a wish list program, and if interest is there, we'll develop more features. But basically you create a list, and add the various URL's to this list. A place for you to have one master wish list from all across the internet. Check it out today, let us know if you like, or dislike it and any other comments you may have.

Or if you are bored, see what neat things I want. :)

CSS, what it is, and some great examples.

CSS - Short for Cascading Style Sheets, a feature added to HTML developed by the W3C, that gives both web site developers and users more control over how pages are displayed. With CSS, designers and users can create style sheets that define how different elements, such as headers and links, appear. These style sheets can then be applied to any web page.

A great example of how CSS can be applied to change a website is the CSS Zen Garden.

If you want to dabble with CSS yourself, another great starting point is The Layout Reservoir.

One technical aspect to websites that is rarely talked about is the Privacy Policy. Any company that is going to sell products, or gather information from the end user needs to have a page on their website that states what it does with this information.

This helps customers feel more secure with ordering, or giving out their e-mail address, and is in general good website design practice.

A few tips to keep in mind when creating yours:

• Make the policy easy to read, easy to understand and easy to find on your Web site.
• Promote your policy internally in employee communications. Consumers are concerned about this issue, and your employees should know how your company responds to those concerns.
• Promote your policy with key stakeholders, including customers, investors, contributors, and policymakers. Privacy policies put consumers in charge of their information.
• Update your policy as needed to stay current with changes in your business.
