Another week comes to an end and we get ever closer to Christmas, which in my book isn’t a bad thing. The build up to Xmas is always the best bit; buying in the food, putting the tree up, eating nuts, chocolates and sweet meats, watching the festive films and yuletide offerings on the goggle box.

So, during this past week I have stored some interesting posts and blogs articles which I’d like to offer to you now, a (very) early present:

• Guides for checking and double-checking your site before launch: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/04/website-maintenance-tips-for-front-end-developers/
• Simple usability problems to avoid: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/30/increasing-online-sales-simple-usability-problems-to-avoid/
• Introduction to HTML5: http://www.dave-woods.co.uk/index.php/html5-tutorial-getting-started/

Only a few I know but with presents it’s not only about the size is it…?
