			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-67" title="coca cola presents coke studio 2" src="http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coke2.jpg" alt="coke2" width="500" height="250" /></p>
<p>Yes I&#8217;m all coke&#8217;d out. Just launched Coke Studio season two website (<a href="http://www.cokestudio.com.pk/" target="_blank">http://www.cokestudio.com.pk/</a>) after a hectic week at <a title="Creative Chaos" href="http://www.csquareonline.com/" target="_blank">office </a>with three nites just like last year with <a href="http://www.cokestudio.com.pk/seasonone" target="_blank">season one</a>. So thought to share my experience of this season too.</p>
<h3>The Design:</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/virgomair" target="_blank">Omair </a>&amp; me again on the design of the second season&#8217;s website of Coke Studio. We both worked really hard on the design this time. Did so many research and paperwork on both the design &amp; development, made so many wireframes and sitemap before the start. Initially, he started the design then I takeover as he took leaves for the trip and then again he came back and did some final touches and we all know the magic he has in his hands. He surely is a Photoshop Rockstar! good work bro! <img src='http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<h3>The Development:</h3>
<p>Again, I was leading the development. Choose <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress </a>as its my favorite platform. This time worked really hard to make it more dynamic and a good use of WordPress power and also worked hard on the typography and fonts with complete web standards and SEO. I used <a href="http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/" target="_blank">cufón </a> javascript framework to use customized fonts on the website and found out that its very promising and far more better then <a href="http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/" target="_blank">sIFR</a> that I used on the <a href="http://www.cokestudio.com.pk/seasonone" target="_blank">last season</a>&#8216;s website and the fonts are making the website more sexy this time <img src='http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  . I recommend <a href="http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/" target="_blank">cufón</a>.</p>
<h3>The Support:</h3>
<p>I &amp; Omair choose <a href="http://www.fursid.com/" target="_blank">FurSid </a>and Talal for the help &amp; support on different section of the website as it is going to be very huge one from the last year. So they both are in the Coke Studio team. FurSid is with me on the development and we both are digging WordPress hard <img src='http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  and Talal is helping us on the Video Player and Desktop Widget. Oh yes the desktop widget for Coke Studio will be out soon with the launch of Episode 1 hopefully <img src='http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> . I would like to thanks <a href="http://www.rohailhyatt.com/" target="_blank">Rohail Hyatt</a>, Farhan Shaikh, FurSid and Talal for their support and we need more of your time on Coke Studio&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for now. More things are coming up on Coke Studio website so keep checking and do follow it on <a href="http://twitter.com/cokestudio" target="_blank">Twitter </a>and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coke-Studio/16944632531" target="_blank">Facebook </a> for more updates <img src='http://zairabbas.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Get ready to go naked. On April 9th, 2008, hundreds, possibly thousands, of blogs and websites will go naked in honor of <a title="CSS Naked Day" href="http://naked.dustindiaz.com/">CSS Naked Day</a>. Join fellow WordPress bloggers in honoring web designers and WordPress Theme builders by going naked.</p>
<p>This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honors web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.</p>
<p>As explained yesterday in the <a title="CSS Naked Day on April 9th, 2008" href="http://www.blogherald.com/2008/04/06/css-naked-day-on-april-9th-2008/">Blog Herald announcement of CSS Naked Day</a>, this is also an opportunity to showcase how <a title="Benefits of Compliance with Web Standards" href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2005/09/24/meet-them-benefits-of-compliance-with-web-standards/">usable and accessible</a> your web page structure is even without the pretty, reminding the world that it is the <a title="Website Accessibility is Now Getting Serious in the USA" href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/02/27/website-accessibility-is-now-getting-serious-in-the-usa/">law that your website must accessible</a> by everyone using any method to access your blog.</p>
<h4>Make Your WordPress Blog Naked</h4>
