Zamzar – Free Online File Conversion

It’s funny how these new AJAX applications always have these funny names. zamzar_logo.jpgZamzar, wow. But I must say, I haven’t seen anything like it. Well we’ve all seen file conversion. We might have even seen it free. And a few of us have come into contact with a couple free online converters, but not like this. Not all in one pack like this. You have documents, images, music and video. Have fun kiddies.

    [...] Now comes another problem. Rather a solution that causes a problem. Most people fixed this resolution issue by slapping on a fixed layout. Now fixed layouts have their pros and cons. The pros are, you know exactly how it will look every time. You know where every thing will be on the website. One major con, I experienced at a friend’s house. He had just gotten a brand new 21″ flat panel monitor and everything looked so crisp. After a couple hours of playing, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory we were just browsing the Internet and I just asked him to check out my latest post at the time. When he did I was horrified. My beautiful fixed width 787 pixel layout, which looks just brilliant on my 17″ at home, still looked brilliant here, but it was so bloody small. I mean the thing was tiny and scrolling took forever. Yeah, we would have had to scroll a lot on a smaller monitor but since we have this huge one, why should we. There was just so much wasted screen space it annoyed me. You could almost fit a whole other site right next to mine. When I went home, I said goodbye to the fixed width layout and picked up a fluid one. And I must say, I’m kind of in love with this one. Whether 800 pixels or much higher, everything just stretches out to fill the screen. Sometimes you scroll, some times you don’t. So first off, I’d like to apologize for all my visitors with large fancy monitors, I did not know what you were going through. The other issue is that blogs are less affected by this screen resolution thing for two reasons. First of all, blogs are meant to be read. Therefore the less vertical eye movement the user has to do easier it is on his eyes. A blog is less about graphically and structural presentation and more about reading the text. I’m not saying blogs should be ugly, I’m just saying you don’t need to hook the visitor with too many pretty pictures to get their attention. The second reason is that, a lot of blogs don’t even get visited anymore. With the advent of RSS feeds a lot of people don’t even know what the home page of the blog looks like. RSS feeders just feed straight text and it fills it out however your reader is configured to. [...]
