Allow Div Layers to Float over Flash, Youtube or Vimeo Videos
Feb 6, 2010 Web Design, Web Design Tutorials, Work
For web designers, its always a constant struggle to get those flash, youtube, or vimeo videos tuck under divs where you need them. They somehow always behave like their z-index is close to infinity.

Finally, Web Design Rework Complete!
Jun 7, 2009 Contests, Web Design
Before and After pics of my blogAfter weeks and weeks of painstaking tweaking with the design of this site, I finished the work today with the revamped look of the site. Although the graphics are quite big in size and takes some time to load on the browser, I am happy with the results. I have been planning on this design for a long time, and I wanted to get it done today. I think it reflects more of myself now; funkier, colorful, sexier, jazzed up, and complicated (lol)!
Some things I added were Project Wonderful ads at the bottom, and also trimmed out some fat from the sidebar. Also, got back my Nuffnang ad at the right (hopefully some ads would start popping!). I also removed “Continue reading This Post Title…” links on the homepage to speed up some loading time.
I was inspired to finish the redesign today because of Nuffnang’s recent contest for Goldilocks. If I wanted to join then I’d need to fix my blog first. Do check it out!
