Welcome to good site bad site website design blog, were you will find all the latest thoughts and design inspirations to help you build your website. The writers of Good site bad site have all been building and coding website for at least 10 years (that makes me feel old!). We love finding new cool website designs, so if you have any that you want to tell us about you can add it to our website directory. We actual started this website at least 5 years ago with good intentions, but we have only just really finished it off.
That is one of the many issues that a website designer can suffer from, since websites can forefil so many tasks, most of which pass through our minds, one of the hardest aspects of building sites is actual finishing it!
Our web designers blog below will hopefully be a useful resource for us all, it contains the most annoying / frequent questions we have, and also new cool stuff and informed ideas of anything that has crossed our minds
Enjoy the site! Graham :)

It has been reported today that users that access websites on their 02 mobile phone using 3G are actual exposing your telephone number to other websites!
..read moreWe have just done a quick test at goodsitebadsite.com/o2.php , and it is true, if you are on 02 and connect via 3g it does show your telephone number.

As you may know, megaupload.com is no more, with a number of arrests of their team taking place. You could argue both for and against a website that lets you upload anything and leave it there. This side of the story however is not something that we are going to discuss here and now.

..read moreRecently we have been testing some admin systems on andriod and iphone to help understand the issues that developers have to over-come to make there sites work on mobile devices.
..read moreI'm sure many people have noticed that with every update, firefox seems to get larger and slower. We first thought this could have been due to the many plugins that we have installed (the web-develper being one). So we disabled all plugins and still when compared to google chrome it is alot slower.
..read moreFirefox was very good at hiding coding or css errors, you can be sure that if you were building a site and only tested in firefox, a client will always find an issue with the site in IE or Chrome (IE being a whole other lot of issues for another day). Chrome however you have to get nearly everything 100% correct, if not it will not display the site at all, how you would want it! When Chrome first come out, not many web site designers tested with it, now it is the norm.
..read moreThe top command is something which we use regularly to monitor our servers. The Top command provides lots of information relating to the used resource on the server. To run this, simply type in “top” and press return.
..read moreWelcome to another goodsitebadsite blog! If there is one thing that we seem to do alot in our job, it is the constant questioning of ourselves on those simply unix/linux commands that we use regularly. Below are the commands that we use the most, which we hope will be of us to everyone!
..read moreHave you ever noticed how 'Notepad', that small application that comes with every version of Windows, seems to be sadly neglected - unless of course you want a tool to produce unformatted text for a particular reason
There is, howver, a really great tip that people can use to turn this into an easy to use tool to record any info or task on a day-to-day basis and create your own quick-access virtual diary:
open Notepad and then:-
1) Create a blank text file with .LOG (remember this is case sensitive) as the first line of the file, followed by carriage retun (Enter)
2) Save and then close the file
3) Double-click file to open it and you will notice that Notepad actually appends the current date and time to the end of the file, and it places the cursor on the next line
4) Type your notes or tasks and then save and close the file
Because of the way that Notepad works each time that you open the file you will find that Notepad repeats this process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor in the line just below
A perfect and simple electronic diary
