PSDFAN And SnobbySlice Now Offer Coding!
First Things First
I don’t want to start this post on a negative note, but I feel that I owe you guys an explanation as to where I’ve been these last two weeks. Due to a combination of unforeseen circumstances posting has been near impossible for the past fortnight. I’ve had no internet in my new place due to the phone company being incredibly slow, and to add to this I’ve caught the flu (no not swine)! As a result I’ve been lying on the sofa trying to recover, rather than being able to publish all of the great tutorials that I’ve got lined up for the awesome community here.
Now The Real News!
Now to the news that I’m really excited about. I’m happy to announce that PSDFAN now offer a great coding service, after teaming up with industry leaders SnobbySlice.

Click-In that Captcha
Tired of the old Type-In Captcha? If so, learn how to build a unique type of “click-in” captcha in this tutorial.
Introduction
This tutorial is inspired by Zac Vineyard’s “Build Your Own Captcha and Contact Form” on Nettuts+, although what we’ll accomplish here is a very unique way of implementing a captcha.

How To Create An Auto Expanding Navigation Menu Using CSS
One of our readers has emailed in saying that they would like to know how we have made our navigation menu rollover effect, in which a background image expands to the length of each text link in the menu. I have decided to write a tutorial on how we have done this for the WebDesignDev navigation. But first here is the email…
Hey Web Design Dev,
I am Luke Marohn, i am 13 and i also design and develop websites. i’m pretty pro with designing, HTML and CSS, but this is something i cant figure out.
I see this on almost all sites, it has to do with the navigation, it seems as though (for your main navigation) when you roll over “home” or “contact” the width of the green bar is changed to fit the link. i am pretty sure you have a tutorial on that but i cant find it. if you didn’t make a tut on this can you? or send me to another site that has a tutorial on how to do this?
Hopefully this made sense…
