How could you write down a law to monitor anything that doesn’t exist yet?? Give us decent internet or any telecommunication mean and then write your stupid laws(we won’t accept them then either).

Internet has been the only free (kind of) air we could breath in this miserable country..and now they’re getting their dirty hands on it..And what REALLY REALLY REALLY pisses me off is that the civil society is not allowed to comment!!

What can you about it? ACT NOW(by smex)!

I hope it’s useful to someone

I received links and feedback from several readers about the RTL of the Web. I didn’t expect to get that help that was very kind, sweet and simply amazing. Thank you so much I’ll publish them all soon.

One more thing: if you’re a web designer and have the time and will to design a (free) blog template so it can be flipped in a tutorial and be available to be downloaded let me know so we can work work on something together.

I added some explanation posts(okay just 1 or 2 ) and the tutorials are coming soon.

Let me know what you think…I really hope someone would find it useful..

The other part of Arab Bloggers (the majority) do not have the enough skills to do such tasks. So we end up with:

1. A very limited number of RTL themes that we see everywhere (especially Blogger)
2. And the many many LTR (left-to-right) themes that simply don’t look nice with the Arabic content (although usually they’re very beautifull themes)

The ideal solution I want? Is to convince all of the web designers and developers of the world to include an RTL version of their themes! We have to wait for that a really long time..

So what can we do? communicate! We can share our ideas and skills to help enriching this poor space of the web. There are really beautifull themes out there and they will look even more beautifull if they fit well with our Arabic content.

I will start hopefully before the end of this year to share my own tips and tricks on how to deal with the RTL side of the web. I’m not a guru, and I’m not a pro, but I want to share what I know and learn what you know. I have thought of naming this learning experience “RTL This”. What do you think? I’d love to know your opinion..

10 minutes later, I started to freak out, I thought about every web-application, account, subscription and contacts I use..Most of them (if not All) depend on my Gmail account. I even use Gmail for online file storage :$. I would literally die ‘virtually’ without it.*

Although the idea of Google owning us all (what I concluded from the freakig out) may annoy some, I still like Google. At least it united the world for a couple of hours for a good cause: Communication. That’s what we all humans are here for **…right?

**(And we suck at it).

A demonstration of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design.

In short it’s a place where web designers can show off their skills and designs. You take the plain HTML markup they give you, work on a design, style the HTML you took with CSS without changing a single bit in the HTML. It’s pretty challenging and that’s why you see wonderful submissions from around the world…

My favorite was the “Retro Theatre” theme. Until I saw the “Geocities 1996” one. Watch out before viewing it…It can hurt your eyes The author said he was nostalgic when he decided to create this beautifull mess, I mean design . He’s brilliant!

I hope this motivates you to submit your own Zen Garden CSS Design.
