T&S SAID WHAT?!
Everything we wrote in July 2008
Recently I scoured the web to come up with some website resources that could be useful for small business owners. While I’ve personally written on a lot of these topics in the past, it’s good to get a third-party point of view. As typically happens, I found others had already come up with great lists. [...]
Occasionally when working with database relationships one will come across an instance of a many-to-many relationship. This type of relationship can occur, for example, when multiple users can be assigned to multiple tasks with users being assigned multiple times. This type of relationship should be implemented as three separate tables as shown below. Users userid [...]
It may seem trivial to precisely name and organize each and every file, but in the end it can save a designer (or anyone else) time and money. Many designers learn this the hard way while interning or beginning their first job, but eventually they realize the significance and impact it makes on their work [...]
Ever have to do a simple task such as put a watermark on a picture? This can easily be done in Adobe Photoshop by inserting your image or text that you want to be your watermark over the original image and setting the transparency to whatever you wish. Now one image is simple and easy, [...]

Edmond also has tax free weekend coming up August 1-3, and Nstyle is participating in that as well, though they’re closed on the 3rd. So check Nstyle out for the [...]
I can’t emphasize enough that you should frequently check links on your website. Both links to other sites and links within your site should be checked. And make sure other people check your links as well. While you should definitely be checking them yourself, chances are good that you’ll miss something. So have another two [...]
I recently acquired a third monitor to use at work. It is really nice to have three monitors, especially when you have around ten windows open at any given time. However, I had one small problem when I hooked it up: the MacBook I use only has one port for an external monitor. How is [...]
As Tim stated previously, incorporating a favicon with your site can reinforce branding for your business. At T&S, we wanted to take it a step further by adding an animated favicon. I created ours in Photoshop, saved it as a .gif, and renamed it as favicon.ico. Here is a website that will guide you in [...]
Many times when designing a website, I receive logos that are not in vector format. For those who may not know, vector images can be scaled infinitely, without losing quality, whereas a normal bitmap image will lose quality as it is scaled up, and even just saving the file repeatedly can lessen the quality. In [...]
If you’re a current or past client, we’d love for you to review us on Google. We’re wanting honest critiques, not just glowing recommendations. Thanks!
