This is a really good example that shows us how to create a password strength meter with a beautiful Ext User Interface. It uses the algorithm based on the code of Javascript Password Strength Meter from Geek(Wisdom).com and then use the Ext Forms to build and layout forms on the fly. It looks stunning and really professional, however this Ext form do not do anything and have very little validation on the other fields except the password field.

Vectorization is the process of converting a raster image to a vector image. Raster images are pixel-based, whereas vector images are represented by geometric shapes such as lines, circles and curves. Vector art is useful because it allows you to scale an image without making it blurry or pixelated.
Vector Magic converts bitmap images to vector art – it’s an online auto-tracer. Just upload your image and Vector Magic will vectorize it for you.

Nyssa has created some pretty 3D RSS icons for us. There are six different icon colours (Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Red). You’ll find each of the icons in .png format (each icon is 139×139 – not a standard size, but this is for web use rather than on the desktop). For those that don’t like the reflection, there is another zip file with them as well. I think the RSS icons looks really good with this 3D effect. I am going to use these RSS icons in my next web project, because I fed up with the standard normal style RSS icons already.

Fawnt is spin-off of the word “Fontâ€. Other than that, Fawnt is a resource for designers, developers, and anoyone that loves free fonts. Fawnt lists beautiful fonts in nice speech bubbles coupled with a scrollable interface to make browsing easy. While all of the fonts we list are free, they might have restrictions. Some may be free for personal use, others for commercial. When you visit a font link make sure to browse the page for any fine print or usage terms.
You cannot find categories within Fawnt, because they don’t want them. When you make tons of categories you never know what you want. By throwing all the fonts to you at once you are able to visualize different font styles and text variations.
