Poll: What social networks do you belong to?
Social networks are getting more and more popular. People use them to connect with friends and colleagues, stay up-to-date on things that interest them, you can even use them to assist in your job search. But there are so many different ones out there. I have a Facebook fan page and a Twitter account focused primarily on this site. But are there other social media sites that you use?

Speed Up Your Sites by Compressing the Files
Back in April, Google announced that they were adding a new signal to their ranking algorithm – speed. I have been told recently that web page sizes are no longer as important because many people have high speed internet connections. Google has found in their tests that the slower a site loads, the less time people stay on that site. So, even if all your customers have DSL or better connections, they still will benefit from a fast site. And you will benefit from happier customers. One way to speed up your site is by having the web server compress the files before delivering them. This can reduce load times significantly.

Learn Why Including a Trailing Slash on URLs is Important
The trailing slash on URLs is often left off, but that is a mistake as it can affect how quickly your pages load from the web server. That slash may not seem important, but it serves a purpose.

Should designers learn languages like HTML and CSS?
In previous years, when I've asked this in the past I've gotten a lot of responses from people who write HTML from scratch insisting that knowing HTML and CSS is critical to doing the job. But as spreng says in a comment last week, word processors used to require that you know codes to get them to print and now they are all WYSIWYG. I've heard from beginners, hiring managers, and others, what do you think?
