			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The popular Facebook game called Kingdoms of Camelot also known as KOC is a great fun game. At higher levels you need to wait days sometimes weeks to finish research and builds unless you post to your Facebook news feed, but not everyone who plays KOC is checking their news feeds.</p>
<p>Here is a great way to send your Kingdoms of Camelot friends a direct link so you can get 5 people helping you straight away.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1)</strong> When clicking speedup share to your Facebook wall.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc12.png"><img src="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc12.png" alt="" title="First share to your Facebook wall" width="540" height="304" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-491" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2)</strong> Goto your Facebook wall and copy the link location by hovering the 'Lend a helping hand' link.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc21.png"><img src="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc21.png" alt="" title="Copy link location" width="540" height="365" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-493" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3)</strong> Goto <a href="http://tiny.cc/" title="http://tiny.cc/" target="_blank">http://tiny.cc/</a> which is a service that shrinks long URL's so they are more friendly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc3.png"><img src="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/koc3.png" alt="" title="Visit tiny.cc" width="542" height="548" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-494" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have the shortened URL you can now send this to your KOC friends. Remember when posting the link to alliance chat you will need to remove http://www from the URL as KOC will remove this from the link for security reasons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sydenergy.png"><img src="http://www.bluepearl-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sydenergy.png" alt="" title="www.sydenergy.com.au" width="250" height="182" class="alignright size-full wp-image-467" /></a>Recently I have been doing more web sites for clients to get some time away from vBulletin and XenForo Skins.</p>
<p>This one site I am working on uses a lot of CSS3 and looked great in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9 but unfortunately in Internet Explorer 8 and below the site did not have the beautiful curves the newer browsers had. The site looked square and dull.</p>
<p>After browsing Google for a bit I found this great script which allowed my site to look beautiful once again for IE8 and below.</p>
<p>http://css3pie.com</p>
<p>PIE stands for Progressive Internet Explorer. It is an IE attached behavior which, when applied to an element, allows IE to recognize and display a number of CSS3 properties. Consider, if you will, the following CSS.</p>
<p>This CSS allows us to add a radius to a DIV element:</p>
<p><code><br />
#myElement {<br />
    background: #EEE;<br />
    padding: 2em;<br />
    -moz-border-radius: 1em;<br />
    -webkit-border-radius: 1em;<br />
    border-radius: 1em;<br />
}<br />
</code></p>
<p>But unfortunately this only works in modern browsers except IE6, IE7 and IE8 which displays a square box. However, after you upload the PIE.htc file to your server and add this singe rule to the same CSS:</p>
<p><code><br />
#myElement {<br />
    ...<br />
    behavior: url(PIE.htc);<br />
}<br />
</code></p>
<p>Now the radius will appear in earlier versions of IE</p>
<p>PIE also allows other new CSS3 features to work in earlier versions of Internet Explorer like shadows and gradients.</p>
