Brugbart can be translated into "Useful", the site is aimed at web developers, or web designers. With Tutorials and References, occasionally Articles, mainly focused at Markup, and programming.

The site started out with the Danish version, as a learning exercise to me, which finally gave me the idea to name the site "Learn By Doing", both the danish and the english site are now based on the same source code, which is entirely developed by me (Jacob Kristensen).

Projects

Brugbart have several projects running, one of which is brugbart.dk (The danish version of brugbart.com).

LBD_Guestbook is my GuestBook Script, currently being Alpha/beta tested before, i decide how it should be made available. Other projects/features are planned as well, including LBD_Forum, and LBD_CMS. All projects are based on w3c standards.

Advertising

It is possible to buy advertising space, an example of ad placement would be the Your ad Here image, but the placement is up to the advertiser. There is a flat monthly fee of 50$, this flat fee insures that click-fraud and accidental clicks wont be an issue.

Your ad may also include a review of your service. This might however require that you setup a temporary account for Brugbart to use when writing the review.

Ads in the following categories are preferred, I.e. web-hosting, web-design, programming, software, hardware. Etc. This is to insure some level of quality and relevancy to visitors, and avoid ad-blindness.

Who's behind all this?

As of the writing of this, Brugbart is developed and maintained entirely by BlueBoden - Jacob Kristensen.

FAQ

You can post your questions by mail.

Q: I'm using Internet Explorer 6 (or earlier) and the site is a mess, is there a solution?
A: Brugbart is best viewed in IE7+, Firefox, or safari. Windows 9x users can switch to Opera 9. Note that i won't be able to tell you if future versions of opera will run on windows 9x.

Q: Why doesn't Brugbart work in IE6?
A: It dose, it just wont render the borders correctly, or the Alpha Channel in png images.

Q: So why didn't you use x fix or hack?
A: The majority of users can easily understand why i didn't, and most web-designers will as well. Few have however taken the step, in fear of loosing visitors, or dealing with visitors complaints. So far I've received none.

Q: Can you help me with this problem?
A: There are plenty of places you can get it for free. If those places wasn't enough, let me have a look, and i'll only charge you, when/if i'm able to solve the problem, and have a solution ready.

Q: Can i/we hire you?
A: check www.blueboden.com on that question.
