  The WWW2006 is the global event to bring together the key influencers, decision makers, technologists, businesses and standards bodies shaping the future of the web.

• Reboot the BBC

  Posted: 27 Apr 2006 at 11:27 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  The BBC have just launched a very interesting initiative asking people to redesign the BBC homepage. Winners will get free goodies and the chance of seeing their site "live" on the BBC for a day, although no designs will be used to replace the original site properly. Cynics have already cried fowl,

• The great Net Resources redesign

  Posted: 26 Apr 2006 at 11:50 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  Things have noticeably quiet round here on the blogging front of late, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten you. Quite the opposite in fact, as we've been feaverishly beavering away on the redesign for the new Net Resources website. We try and give the old girl a bit of a face lift every year or so

  Hi all, hope you all had a great Easter break, I know I did. :) It's been pretty busy down here in the dungeons of Fortress NR so blogging time has been limited. But that's not to say that I've not been storing up some tasty links for all you web-heads (don't worry all you job hungry people, the job

• So you think you're hot with Photoshop?

  Posted: 06 Apr 2006 at 11:23 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  So you might feel pretty smug that you can photoshop your bosses head onto Saddam Husseins body, but that doesn't make you a Photoshop guru. Out of all the applications I've ever used it's probably got the greatest depth, and a learning curve spanning out over many years instead of months. That's wh

• Free Photos!

  Posted: 03 Apr 2006 at 14:42 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  We all love free things, and free photos, without copyright issues are a great thing when you are working on a site, be it a personal site, mockups, or just because you don't want to pay for images free is good. So when another free stock image site pops up we all say hooray (except for me, I'll jus

• Free HTML editor

  Posted: 30 Mar 2006 at 17:20 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  I just came across this nifty little program, it is an HTML and CSS editor that has some neat little touches. Syntax highlighting (essential) tabbed tag lists (handy) and pretty lightweight. If you want an HTML editor that is a bit more user friendly than a simple text editor then you could do worse

  Very quick post for a VERY cool tip in Photoshop. We have all wanted to find out what that background color of a website was for a comp in photoshop.

  Posted: 21 Mar 2006 at 11:26 by noemail@noemail.org (Net Resources Team)

  Big sites take an age to build; they involve a lot of blood sweat and tears to go from the bright spark of an idea to realisation. Here at the fortress we content ourselves with the smaller, easier fish that have a pretty fast turn around. It involves a lot less heartache and we can have a life outs
