Ganeshiyer.net
Thanks to the money I got from Text Link Ads I have bought myself a domain name and web hosting :) Thats right fellas http://ganeshiyer.net will be up and running soon. I chose Hostgator to host it as they accept Paypal and they had all the features I wanted.
I'll continue writing on ganeshnomicks about web designing and stuff and I'll preview my designs and codes on ganeshiyer.net.

New Design : Ganesh02 - Aqua Reaction
I had made this design for a design contest which was held by Open Designs. Unfortunately the contest got canceled. So I thought that I should release this design on OD. I hope you like this design. I have decided to release this as the second design in my Ganesh## series. I guess this design is tailor-made for web hosting sites, but its very flexible and you can change the images to give it the look you desire. Good luck with your site and please make sure that you link back to me.

Safari 3.1 supports HTML5
I have never been an Apple guy. I remember using Safari on windows when it was launched in beta, and it didn't took long for me to figure out that it wasn't for me. But Apple has just rolled out Safari 3.1 on Tuesday and its looks kinda impressive.
It is blazing fast, has got a cool UI, new cool features but the thing that has really got me interested is the new features that have the potential to transform web design in the future. First is CSS animations. Yep you read it right, Safari supports CSS animations. Another interesting feature is font downloading. That's right, web designers no need not limit themselves to narrow set of 'web safe' fonts.
But still I guess I'll stick with my firefox because I am still not sure how stable this new version of safari is gonna be. But still I hope that other browsers will also implement html5 features...fast!
PS: I am sorry to have not posted any stuff on the blog. I was having my exams so I couldn't find time to write.

Create Awesome Text Shadows With Pure CSS
I love finding ways to use css to replace unnecessary usage of images. In this tutorial I will teach you to create cool text with shadow without using any images or javascript. Here is my end result
The CSS:
#title{
z-index: 2;
color: #333333;
position:fixed;
font-size: 30px;
left:5px;
top:5px;
}
#shadow{
z-index: 1;
font-size: 30px;
color: #C0C0C0;
position:fixed;
left:8.5px;
top:8.5px;
}
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="title">
<h1>Test</h1>
</div>
<div id="shadow">
<h1>Test</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is done by using z-index property of elements in CSS. The shadow should be placed behind the text by assigning it a z-index lesser to that of the text. If you want to increase the distance of the shadow from the text then change the left and top properties.
So the next time you want to create a nice little text with shadow instead of jumping onto your Photoshop, use this technique.
Post in the commnets if you have anything to say about this technique, blog or want to show off your implementation of this technique.
