<p>Finally, it’s the weekend. I had to work basically all last weekend, and it’s great to finally get a break. Got a pretty good collection of links for this week.</p>

<ul><li><a href="http://www.digital-web.com/articles/redesigning_ebay_registration/">Better Web Forms: Redesigning eBay’s Registration</a>
<p>Garrett Dimon gives a really good breakdown of a redesign of eBay’s registration form. Forms are easily one of the most important elements of web design, yet they are one of the least thought about elements.</p>

<li><a href="http://yesterdayishere.com/wordpress/arhiva/2007/11/14/classy-amp/">Classy Amp</a>
<p>Inspired by <a href="http://simplebits.com/">Mr. Dan Cederholm</a>, this Wordpress plugin adds a span with a class around all ampersands <em>(edit: not all ampersands, only ampersands in headings)</em> so you can style the ampersand with a more attractive font.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://ilovetypography.com/2007/11/13/being-kind-to-widows-and-orphans/">Being Kind to Widows and Orphans</a>
<p>I guess this is like an extension of the Classy Amp plugin. Offers that functionality along with  converting quotes and other entities to their correct html values. Also adds non-breaking spaces to try and prevent widows and orphans (hence the title).</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://favikon.com/">favikon</a>
<p>Upload a photo and create your favicon on the web. No need to go into Photoshop and crop it, then create an .ico file. This does it all.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://www.fatdux.com/how/our-web-dogma.html">FatDuk Web Dogma ‘06</a>
<p>10 rules that will enhance the user experience of any website or online application. While I think this is old, I still enjoyed reading it, and I think it all applies still.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://www.josiahcole.com/2007/07/11/almost-perfect-htaccess-file-for-wordpress-blogs/">Almost Perfect htaccess File for WordPress Blogs</a>
<p>Modify your htaccess file to try and prevent hackers from messing with your Wordpress installation.</p>
</li>
</ul><p>I <strong>promise</strong> a real post is coming soon! Along with a redesign…sometime soon.</p>
