David demonstrated some more samples of his plug-in PCB modules that allow features to be added to circuit boards without soldering. Members of the group will demonstrate some new microprocessor applications and programming examples at Tuesday's meeting. *Saturday 17 August - Web Design - S South - 1:30pm - 4:30pm* Steve South will have a look some articles from the Sitepoint newsletter on finding and using free images, sourcing them, understanding the various usage rights and maybe how to copyright and protect your own images.

The group will also look at creating style guides both for web sites and for brand recognition.They may have some fun creating one for their site and will discuss the finer points of colour, font text style logos etc. Steve has been delving into how Expression Web handles CSS so he may have a look at the CSS windows that pop up when a new style is created, and try and relate them to the standard CSS code. Last month Bob and John showed some of their work relating to menus and Steve is looking forward to seeing what others have been doing during the month. If you have anything to demonstrate please let him know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Mathews Please remember if your e-mail address is changed for any reason at all, unless you tell me your new address you will not receive these weekly updates!
