Help the UN World Food Program to end world hunger
posted on 13 March 2008 (09:37 PM)
The UN World Food Program has created a game to gather food for third-world countries.
In the game, you have to guess the correct synonym for an English word. For non-native speakers it can actually be quite challenging and educational.
Below every question is a different ad, and that way various advertisers sponsor this initiative. I think it's a great idea and gladly link to it. Apart from being a great new, inventive way of helping others, the game is actually a nice use of modern web technologies like CSS and DOM scripting.
Finally moved, but not without hiccups

Whatstyle has finally arrived at its new location over at CCC Hosting. Before the move could be completed however, I made an ass out of myself.
My @whatstyle.net address was my contact address over at the new host, which was, obviously, momentarily down during the move.
Hence, I was unable to receive the email containing the new FTP information and stuff like that, resulting in a couple of days of me having no website nor email address.
All is well again, so keep checking back regularly for updates. Also, due to the downtime, my latest article about formatting CSS might have gone unnoticed. Do take a look :)

Every once in a while, I stumble across a piece of CSS and I think, Now that's a handy method of formatting, I'm gonna try that in my next project
.
One of those formatting styles is nesting your CSS rules according to the nesting level of the HTML elements you target. I've tried it once, but never again.
