Pinterest is all over the news lately (although some people complain about the traffic converting poorly). Now MailChimp has announced their Pinterest integration .
If you use Pinterest, looks like a nice, simple way to share your pinned photos with your e-mail subscribers.
Replacing the -9999px hack shows a simple way to replace text with images that doesn't use the text-indent:-9999px hack.
It simply uses the following CSS:
.hide-text {
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
Very simple and avoids the 2 problems with the other technique – very long lines of text can flow into the container, and apparently (I've never hard this before) the old way can be slow on devices such as the iPad 1.

I have just released version 3.91 of STG FolderPrint Plus.
There are two changes in this release. First, I've fixed the Load Tree so as to open as read-only and avoid changing the last modified date of stgtree files.
Second, I usually save scans of drives. Yes, the program is fast but when you have several hundred thousands or millions of files – and specially when you turn Open Compressed Files – a scan can take a while.
One thing that really bothered me when opening a stgtree file is that the program just apparently froze, without any feedback. Now it displays a dialog with an animation, as well as a percentage bar and number of files read. And if you use Windows 7 it will also display progress on the taskbar.
