Many things to come!

Good morning, it has been a while since my last true post. I am currently in the process of making tough-skin.com more like a magazine for geeks; alongside will be a new and second writer. This new contributor will be sharing incredible and exclusive technology finds, beautiful articles, and will make tough-skin.com double in size (as far as writers are concerned). That being said, if you would like to write for us here at tough-skin.com please send a link and or text file of your previous work(s) for immediate review; note: a background in technology definitely is a plus. We are looking for like minded individuals who share a passion for technology; if you serious. If you are not a serious, determined individual with time to update please do not reply to this post.

If you would like your own column on tough-skin.com along with the notoriety you will get from working with a fairly widely read, informative, and online magazine please contact us as soon as possible as I continue to hire  At this point tough-skin.com currently has a very limited amount of data while keeping 2.3k~ visitors returning, per week. I am hoping that I can find some who can write a few tutorials along side regarding web design, graphic design, advanced computer, Adobe Photoshop,   If you run your own website please do not forget to add it to your application.

The new Google, Inc.

It probably was not that long ago when you used Google.com as your home page to just search from. You probably never saw yourself playing with a device that Google invented or creating documents and sending them through Google’s own services.

Google took their quick search engine and turned the world on it’s ear with a few big and bold moves, which were at the least, no easy feat. I believe that as a business,  Google has modeled for us one of the best ways to get your foot in the door and then slowly pry it open until you become a portal as a business for yourself. Create your brand’s niche and expand your business from there.

Zebra Stripes in HTML tables using CSS

In this guide, you will learn how to create tables, or lists, that will have different background colors. We do this for readability purposes. In the web development arena we use this technique to make it easier on the end-user to focus their eyes on a specific line and differentiate different pieces of content from one another with a different background color behind every other part of your lists. This is very useful and I suggest that you learn how to do this with a little CSS technology if you are in any part of web development.
