If you have received a bounced email report or a reply to an email that you didn’t send then you may be the victim of what is known as ‘spoofing’.

I’ve been asked by a few people in recent weeks how I think the introduction of the iPad will change the way we design web sites. Whether I’ll be buying an iPad or not, and whether it takes off or not, the truth is it’s unlikely to affect the way we design our sites for a number of reasons.

Google have announced that throughout 2010 they will be phasing out support for their Google Apps suite of services in Internet Explorer 6. This means by the end of 2010, services such as Google Mail, Google Calendar and Google Docs (services we have set up for some of our clients) will run slowly or not at all in Internet Explorer 6.

We recently had to create a table of US States for use within our e-commerce software, Ballyhoo Commerce. As usual we would like to share our findings with you in the hope that they will benefit someone else.

What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL Certificate is an internet security technique that encrypts sensitive information sent between your customer’s web browser and your website. Only recognised certificate authorities, such as GlobalSign and Thawte, can issue an SSL certificate. This is then unique to your website and will be verified by your customer’s web browser each time your website is accessed. Evidence of an SSL Certificate on a website is characterised by the locked padlock symbol in the address bar or bottom right of a web browser.
