HTML5 loophole

Lots of web developers are saying how wonderful html5 is, but perhaps everyone with a website should read this story about a major loophole in html5 which allows a malformed or malicious website to fill up your hard drive space!

To interact or not to interact, that is the question...?

The ability to interconnect different bits of social networking with a website is quite exciting. By integrating Facebook or Twitter buttons into your webpages you can enable easy sharing of your content by your visitors.

The huge growth in popularity of social media sites means that any site can benefit from linking to them: not only in terms of spreading the word, but also as a means of raising the bar with search engines, as all the social media sites seem to score highly in results terms.

The code to add links or widgets into a webpage code is usually fairly simple to incorporate, especially in plain HTML pages. Many php scripts can include them too, but a good number of those such as Wordpress, PHP-Fusion, Joomla, etc. have mods (add-ons) that do this to save you having to hack (and possibly break in the process!) the code.

Go on, give it a try, you might be surprised as to who drops by!
