From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML
This week I take a look at a really useful feature of CSS3 - the ability to layer multiple background images on one element to create more dynamic and interesting backgrounds without needing to create a whole new image. Plus, I was asked last week to explin how to deliver files to clients, so I thought I would answer that question with an article. And I have done a new review of the Macintosh web page editor Flux.

Did you know that I've been writing about HTML, CSS, and web design since 1997? I have hundreds if not thousands of articles on the site that have just as much relevance today as they did when I first wrote them. You can find them by searching the site, or more simply by browsing my article library. And if you can't find the answer to your question, you can always suggest an article or ask a question in my web design and HTML forums.

Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, anyone you think would like to learn more about web design, HTML, and web development.

Delivering Sites to Customers
Most of the focus on being a freelance designer is on getting clients and building websites. But once you have a client and have built them a website, you need to get those pages to their website. There are many ways you can deliver final files to clients. I have suggested a few in this article. How Do You Deliver Files to Your Clients?

Flux - Web Editor Profile
Flux is an interesting WYSIWYG web editor for Macintosh. They have been around long enough to be on their third revision (read my review of Flux version 3) but I had not heard of them until just a few weeks ago. Learn more about this fun web page editor.

Poll: How often do you update your web page editor?
I do reviews of HTML web page editors every year. Many of them are updated every year or even more often than that. Although none have gotten to the frequency of Firefox these days! Others haven't been updated in several years. But how important is it to keep your editor up-to-date? Personally, I tend to update my tools every time they come out with a new version, as I feel that is a safer way to go (hopefully the updates fix security flaws), but I know that I couldn't always afford to do that. So I used to only update every 3-5 years--when the software seemed so different that it was critical to update it. How often do you update your editor? Vote Now View Results
