Your HTML Source Tag Reference

Sometimes I find it difficult to remember the multitude of html tags and their attributes, so it’s good to have somewhere to go for a quick recap.

My favourite site is Your HTML Source, which has a great glossary of HTML tags. It clearly outlines the correct usage for the all the common tags and many you might not normally think of using.

It’s a good idea to use an existing tag if possible, rather than defining your own class, as it makes your code more compliant with web standards and screen readers.

Web 2.0 Resources

Web 2.0 has become a bit of an over used buzzword to describe modern web design (big buttons and icons, transparency, gradients, and rounded corners) along with the trend towards interactive and user-generated content (social sites, blogs and the like).

Vandelay design have provided a useful list of resources on their blog to help with Web 2.0 stylings - button generators, icon lists and colour scheme generators.

Air Permeability Testing

An ‘air permeability test’ is required by UK building regulations to ensure that new homes (and some commercial buildings) are fuel efficient. Details of the regulations can be found on the UK Planning Portal website.

Construction companies and builders use approved testers to certify that buildings meet the standards set out in the regulations. Leema Technologies Limited provide building air permeability testing to the required ATTMA TS1 standard and are approved by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing. They also provide their testing services for commercial buildings and private home owners who want to conserve the fuel and power use of buildings.

You can find out more about air permeability testing (sometime referred to as ‘air tightness’ or ‘air leakage’) on this page of the Leema Technologies site.
