Ever have that annoying dotted outline around your flash or image? You know, the one around your anchor links that you ignore most of the time…ever have someone tell you to take it off and not know how?

It happens to the best of us. It’s the annoying dotted outline (dotted line) that we don’t even think about until we have to launch a product.

What does the dotted outline look like?

Just so we’re clear about what the dotted outline looks like, here’s an example:

The Solution

And now, here’s how you’re going to get rid of it for your flash piece:

I like you. I think you’re cool. Thank you for reading my Blog. It’s getting better the more I write. But anyway, enough about us. Let’s talk about how you’re going to use my Image Preloader script. It’s free, do whatever you want with it. Call it your own, whatever, I don’t really care. I like FREE knowledge. I love to compete. I love it when I’ve worked so hard that I can’t think anymore. Call me crazy, but at least call me because I can make you wealthy: 801-787-3237.

I digress.

I wanted to share with you all a way to preload your images with jQuery. If you don’t know what jQuery is, you’re living in the stone age of the web. jQuery makes the average developer look like a Rockstar. I’m not even kidding. Please, read up on jQuery. I’m a firm believer that no site should be built without jQuery at its core.

Now, here’s how you can make yourself an image preloader with jQuery, or well, it’s how you preload your images with jQuery. Okay? We on the same page here?

As many of you already know, MACs are evil and I will not talk about them in this post. Hopefully someday MACs will do away with their evilness, but until then…

Consumer Reports did its usual software ratings and stuff like that. What I thought was interesting was that it rated these 3 pieces of software pretty highly:

• Antivir antivirus program
• Windows Defender
• Spamfighter antispam program

For more, you’re gonna have to Google it or sign up with Consumer Reports.

I recently stumbled upon this site that lists 8 free Photoshop alternatives. I thought I’d share it with you.

I’ve studied Napolean Hill a lot. He’s a great guy from 100 years ago. I’m not sure if a lot of people still know about him, but he’s done many great things and wrote many great books. One of which, Think and Grow Rich, is my favorite.

Now I believe heavily in competition and sharing knowledge. In honor of my belief, I’m going to give you some of my notes from the Hill:

I’m reading this book The POWER of Body Language and in it there is a little excerpt on why we humans might like porn so much. I think the book tells it best, so here it is:

The action of mirror neurons, brain cells that allow us to experience empathy, may help to explain the addictive nature of pornography. When a person watches other people having sex, even on a television (or computer) screen, a part of his brain actually feels like he’s getting some action, too. (And who can blame a guy for liking that?)

Well, that explains it, don’t you think?

Should you want to check out the book, you can own it today by going to amazon and investing in it. I’m a nice guy, so I’m going to provide you a link: The POWER of Body Language.

Doing YOU this favor, saving you some time and posting this for YOU, my readers. I only hope that it saves you time. To further that along, I’m posting different versions of it, in different posts of course!

I like you, I think I’ll let you download it at the following link:

This a quote that I’ve loved for a long time. I first read it a while back from the book “HOW TO Master the Art of SELLING” from Tom Hokpins.
