When you are doing a dynamic website project, it may need you to make forms to collect user information. Almost every website has contact us form which mostly consist of name, email, comment and phone number etc. These forms are easy to make and data can be sent to an email id or stored somewhere. If all you want is send data to an email id, then all you have to do is write few lines of code and use mail() function but if you need to store the data, story is different! Storing data means use of database and since you cannot read data directly from logging in database panel and reading tables, you will need to make an interface from where stored data can be read. This is where admin panel is needed. Making form and then connecting it to database, setting up admin panel to view stored data requires lot of coding. If you know coding well even then it takes some time to do this, otherwise you hire a programmer to do it for you.

Form tools make things easy for you. This free open source script is not only highly customizable but also works with variety of forms. All you have to do is make the form and then connect it to form tool (installed on your server) and that’s it! Form tool will collect data from the form, store in database and present you in clean tabular and printable format. Connect your form to Form tool is very easy and anyone without knowledge of coding can do it. I think Form tool is one of the best tool for every web developer. Download it free from formtools.org

I have always noticed this that people have tendency to keep only limited number of shoes and sandals and try hard to match them with their outfits and occasions. Every occasion needs different style of footwear. For example if you are going to beach, you can’t just wear your leather Comfort Shoes because they will not only get spoiled but also not look cool. Having many pairs of shoes means you not only have better match for your dress but also less wear and tear of your shoes. Less wear and tear means longer life as well.

Name Brands Shoes and you think of insane price tags, however this is not true for every popular brand. If you look around for shoes on online stores, then you will find good quality shoes at very tempting prices. I suggest making a list of your daily activities and then look for types of shoes you need. Never try to mix shoes for different occasions. Walking shoes will never be comfortable enough for jogging. Jogging shoes have special design which makes them perfect for jogging.

If you do lots of outdoor activities like visiting sites, trekking, rock climbing and other sports then you should consider more rugged shoes like Ugg Boots. These boots will protect your feet better than any other types of shoes. For rock climbing and other sports like these, there are special shoes available which provide more grip and hence additional safety. So from know wear right shoes on right occasion and look smart.

Stripe background will go well with many type of website layout, so if you need to jazz up a website, all you need is add a matching stripe background. Now question is how to create a stripe background? I know you can do a microscopic work in photoshop using lots of zoom and then making a tiny stripe image and then repeating it using css. This is a time consuming job and when you are in website design business, time means money. Fortunately there are some online stripe generators which do the job very well. All you need to do is input hex values of colors needed in stripe, find tune using slick interface and you are done. You also get a small preview of how the stripe will look which means no more wastage of time in testing. Best part is that when you created stripe in this way, you create something unique. Sounds cool right? Why not try it yourself? Here are few selected stripe generator websites:

You cannot avoid spammers, while we exchange anti spam tips here, millions of spam mails will be sent. When you create a new email ID, you are not spammed at all but once you start using that email ID, you also start getting spam mails. So how these spammers come to know about you email ID? There are many places on internet from where these spammers gather emails but I am writing only those which are popular.

- You join a website whose administrator is an evil person and sell user email ID with his/her private information as well.

- You join a website whose administrator is non techcy and webmaster leaks email to his spammers friends.

- You post your email ID in forums and other portals where this email id is crawled by special software’s used by spammers to collect emails from web pages.

- Your email id is in contact list of your friend (which is obvious) and your friend’s computer is infected with spyware. All his contact emails are stolen with some private information as well and then personalized spam mails are sent. A real example I would like to give here, I met my old friend on social networking site and she was in Russia. Now she added me in her contact list and her laptop was infected in spyware. Since we were talking about Russia, how that place is which means word “Russia” was sent to spammers along with my email ID. Now these spammers send me those famous Russian Bride spam mails!

Even if we escape from first three possibilities, we cannot control what’s going on in our friend’s computer. Best thing to do is educate your friends about spywares, malwares, data miners and other bad stuff. You can also create an email ID only for signing up non serious websites and keep a private email ID for serious work.

Suddenly many web designers started discouraging using of tables in layout. It was just like discarding floppy drives from desktop computers and today when we buy a PC, it does not come with floppy drive as standard. However things have gone advance and today there is absolutely no use of floppy drive but think of a case when operating system becomes corrupt, you cannot boot and you mess up with BIOS too. This is definitely a nightmare but floppy can be used to boot in this situation and BIOS can be flashed using floppy. Ok I am not going to talk about this issue as I am not aware of latest hardware BIOS flashing method but I am writing about the importance of tables.

You might have received newsletter in emails and these emails look just like a complete webpage. If you look at the source code of these newsletter, these are created using tables. Email services and even personal email client software’s are not able to render complex CSS files so we have to rely on good old tables method. Its pity that same web designers making newsletter for their client using tables shout that don’t support using tables anymore. In real web pages too there are places where using tables is more efficient so days of tables in layout is definitely no over!
