There is NO such thing, correct? Wrong. We’re not talking .mng files either…we’re talking about the APNG format. I thought I would post a very quick message in our blog tonight to let everyone know that we have recently added an new “Do It Yourself” section to our GraphicsOptimization web site that is [...]

David Jaeger of Florida Gulf Coast University posted a really interesting link in the [uwebd] listserv this week to a service called the five second test.
