I'm sure you've gotten junk mail via snail mail before. Especially the ones that are all crowded with unreadable advertisements. Maybe sometimes they were so cluttered that you actually went out of your way to not buy their product. The same applies to web design as it does in print design. Use of whitespace can mean the difference between a good-looking website, and HavenWorks.
A couple of weeks ago, I've been thinking about the importance of a website having perfectly validated XHTML and CSS. I was creating a website design, and I had noticed that some CSS3 properties caused a few errors in the validation.
There are some benefits of having valid markup, such as some SEO benefits, and the more professional look of a valid website. It's also nice seeing that green bar when you run your site through the validator.
I used to think that the w3c validator was an absolute rule to follow, but it's actually just a guideline to follow to help to improve your code.
In today's part of Creating a PHP CMS, we will be creating a simple login system.This login system will be used to restrict access to the administration panel. I will talk about user validation, site security and application of the login system.
Today we will be looking at some administration functions for our CMS, including updating posts, deleting posts and changing the home page.
In the last few posts, we learned how to display information from the database. Today, we will be creating lists of posts for a navigation list, and for the CMS admin.
