Calculating age from Date of Birth
This has baffled me for years but a couple of nights ago I finally cracked it. How to accurately work out someones Age from their DOB. For this tutorial I’m using the english method of presenting dates DD-MM-YYYY rather than the american way.
It actually rather simple by comparing the date of birth to the current date you can not only work out their age but also whether it’s their birthday or not.

A Complete Guide to CSS3
CSS3 is a very hot topic at the moment and probably my favourite code at the moment, as W3 Mozilla and Webkit are releasing new features all the time. Although it is only compatible with modern browsers such and Safari, Mozilla and Chrome, and only partially compatible with IE, It’s still an incredible useful to be using especially as when used by incompatible browsers, it’s just ignored so unless you’re using it for key features of your blog, you should be able to add it and forget about backwards compatibility.

Creating a basic blog using php and mysql Part 3
Creating the create.php page
In the last tutorial we created a dynamic page to display our blog entries but we couldn’t test to see if it was working or not as we didn’t have any entries, so in this part we’re going to build a form so we can submit our entries.

Creating the index.php
The index page is the homepage for your blog, for this tutorial the index page will display your blog entries. Why is it called index not home or entries? It’s called index because when we stick it in the root directory the index.php bit won’t appear in the URL so out URL will only be www.yourdomain.com for example. This keeps the URL tidy, because a tidy URL is a happy URL. This page is where we start to use php to its full potential. We are only going to have one page to display all our blog entries, how are you going to do that I hear you asking, well I will explain below.

LAST.FM January 28 2009
I know that last.fm has been around for a while now but i’ve only recently re-looked at it again and found out that they’ve done a huge amount of updates. Things such as personalized radios, keeping your own playlist; which you can then play on a loop randomly, and artist radio stations. There are now things that you have to pay for such as: your loved tracks radio station but this is still relatively cheep at just £18.00 for a whole year and £1.50 a month.
