Avoid using too many classes in your CSS

Are You Too Classy? When learning Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), some beginners get carried away by the idea of creating classes. While classes of styles certainly have their place, they should not be used to replace the logical page structure that HTML can create.

Preventing comment spam
[07:35 pm]
I just got a link from Rob - linear to an article at the Google blog that explains how to prevent comment spam with the attribute rel="nofollow".
From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel="nofollow") on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn't a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it's just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists.
I'll implement this shortly.

It's time for some amazing black and white photography! I admit, for some people it may be difficult to recognize what is on the picture, but once you figure it out, it is worth it!
They finally told me what the gender is! I would love to share the news with you, but I have to keep the secret from Sofia. She wants to be surprised, like all women, you know.

I clicked on the link Watch the new Jennifer Lopez video found on Yahoo's home page today, and look what I got:
OK, I do have a pop-up blocker installed. Well, let's see what happens if I now follow the link "LAUNCH Music Video". This is what I get:
Sorry Jenny, you are not worth it!
