CSS Image Rollovers

Posted by Simon on August 27th, 2007 in CSS | No Comments

RedVodkaJelly.com has a short and neat tutorial where you can learn to create easy image rollovers using the standards.

I really hate having to use JavaScript for image rollovers as it seems messy, requires two separate images and can only degrade gracefully to nothing if the user has JavaScript turned off. In an attempt to find an all CSS method of achieving the same effect I discovered the following all CSS image rollover method this morning.

Black is not Green?

Are black backgrounds environmental friendly?

Blackle and SaveAndSearch are two of a few sites that run on the idea that surfing with a black background on websites will save energy and therefore be good for the environment. But unfortunately surfing black isn’t really that green.

LCD monitors are built with a light behind the screen that is always on. So when you show a white page you just let the light shine through the screen. If you show a black page on the other hand the LCD light is completely blocked and it requires more energy to shine through.

According to Google “displaying black may actually increase energy usage”.

If you are interested in saving energy and helping the environment there are better and more efficient ways than using black or white backgrounds when you surf or search the web. You can for example change to a green web host or does some green action work right now.

Posted by Simon on August 3rd, 2007 in AdSense | No Comments

Is AdSense testing a new way to show advertisements on the 728×90 banners? Take a look at this banner I saw on the Green Blog forum today. AdSense have placed a total of six different keyword ads below the main ads in the banner.

I have only seen this once on the 728×90 banner. Have anyone else noticed AdSense banners like this, what do you think about this new ad solution?
