| Know Your Worth: Salary Guide For Web Designers/Developers [Comparisons] Posted: 05 Aug 2013 08:01 AM PDT So I think it is worth a comparison between annual salaries over different countries. Here’s how we’re doing this. I have put together salary information on Jr./Sr. Web Designers, Jr./Sr. Web Developers, and PHP Web Developers from 35 different countries. The majority of this data has been obtained via PayScale which organizes submissions by people who work in the field. You may be surprised to learn just how much money some creative professionals are making! The numbers have been converted into USD for an easier comparison. Recommended Reading: Cheatsheets Wallpapers for Web Designers and Developers MethodologyBy reading the PayScale data methodology you can learn how their company operates to manage and organize user content. People will submit their salaries and location, along with extra metadata such as age and gender. These statistics are kept anonymous and will be put together for calculating an average median. The detailed PayScale charts will display only newer data which has been submitted since 2013. But they do not remove the older content since this is used to generate a full median when there isn’t any new data available. I find their system is very reliable and the median numbers are never off by more than 1-2 years. So I would argue these salary estimates can be ranged from 2011-2013 taking various data models into account. DeviationsFor a small number of countries there was absolutely no data inside PayScale particularly related to some higher positions. I located related websites which offer salaries of jobs in the same realm. These alternate sources consist of job offers and Coroflot design statistics which are also submitted by freelancers and paid employees. I am very happy with the results and the number of estimates we could obtain. No statistics can be guaranteed 100% accurate, especially monetary stats because of currency devaluation/inflation, but this guide is a deeply reliable source for global salary rates looking into 2013.

Resources
Final ThoughtsThe process of gathering resources is detailed and very time-consuming. It requires a lot of translation and critical thinking to determine annual salary rates from a dataset. But I also feel that web designers and developers are some of the newest potential jobs on the market. There is lots of solid information out there, plus the amount of traction and worldwide success of the Internet has provided a very lucrative field of networking. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the salary comparisons and feel free to share any questions or personal commentary, as well.

| 25 Movie-Themed LEGO Constructions You Haven’t Seen Before Posted: 05 Aug 2013 06:01 AM PDT LEGO is an awesome toy for all ages and more often than not, builders are limited only by their imagination as to what they can put together and create with those colored blocks. Add to that a love of a blockbuster movie or genre, a lot of patience and a superhuman ability to not die from stepping on a LEGO block, and you have a collection of amazing mega constructions, so mind-blowing that you’d think they are actually built for a LEGO-themed remake of the actual movie. Here are a few movie scenes that you were reimagined by LEGO master builders. Depicted below are two sections, one dedicated to the building and sets of famous movies; the other, the spaceships of sci-fi films that have graced the silver screen and won our hearts. Keep in mind that while they are not to scale, these mega constructions can be 6-feet in length or height, consisting over tens (or hundreds) of thousands of LEGO bricks, pounding the scales at 10 kgs and above. With that in mind, start gawking. Recommended Reading: 40 Impressive Robots Built With Lego Bricks Iron Man Hall of Armor – Iron Man 3.

| Enabling Infinite Scroll for WordPress Theme [WordPress Tip] Posted: 05 Aug 2013 03:01 AM PDT In the Web, Infinite Scroll refers to the concept of loading the next content continuously as the users scrolling down the page. So long as there is still content available scrolling will keep showing the next line of content. You can find this kind of experience implemented in the Twitter and Facebook and many other sites. If you have reason to implement the same experience on your website, and assuming that you built your website with WordPress, we will show you how to do enable infinite scrolling. Installing JetpackAlthough there are several plugins and methods to achieve Infinte Scroll, I prefer using one from Jetpack. Jetpack is a plugin developed by Automattic — the guys behind WordPress. It contains a set of plugins to extend your blogging experience, including the Infinite Scroll. This feature was first introduced in version 2.0. However, unless you are using TwentyTen, TwentyEleven, and TwentyTwelve – the default WordPress themes, the experience might not immediately visible in your theme. Since every theme has a unique page structure, Jetpack needs a piece of your theme information for it to work. First, make sure that Jetpack is installed and the Infinite Scroll is activated, as follows. Adding Infinite Scroll FunctionSimilar to adding Post Thumbnail, Infinite Scroll is added with In this example, I’m using the free WordPress theme from ThemeZilla, Launch. First, we need to create a function for specifying the post template that will be used by Infinite Scroll to append the content. In this case, we will call content-post-standard.php for the template. function zilla_infinite_scroll_render() { get_template_part( 'content-post', 'standard' ); } Then, we can enable Infinite Scroll this way. add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array( 'container' => 'primary', 'render' => 'zilla_infinite_scroll_render', )); The While the But, notice that the footer is now overlaying on your posts. If this is something that does not sit well with your theme design, you can set the add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array( 'type' => 'click', 'container' => 'primary', 'render' => 'zilla_infinite_scroll_render', )); Jetpack will append the button for users to click in order to show the next content. Final ThoughtThis is merely a basic implementation of Jetpack Infinite Scroll. For most cases, this should sufficed. But, if you want to go more advanced, you can head over to the following page at Jetpack.
