If i write @imanto <-- this will link to my twitter page, and show a hover card. Will give a little information about my twitter etc.. If you hover over that you can see it for yourself.

Theres a bunch of other ones you can check out at the dev twitter page, go have a look and maybe use them on your own site =)

I didn’t want to go and google this, i wanted people to drop comments to get a bit of conversation going, and sure enough, a guy called Steven Weathers droped a comment telling me about quirks mode. Cheers mate.

In this screencast, ive got the latest brorwsers, chrome and firefox, yet a simple hover effect wont work in firefox.. Hover on a div, any coders out there wanna tell me why?

I cant find the full list it supports, but it doesnt stop you testing if you want to find out. Be sure to watch in HD.

If you need any help with this, let me know in the comments.

You dont really need these if you have the latest version of your browsers installed, because they use it by default, its really if you only want to embed a little piece of audio somewhere on your site you can use this, instead of using flash or the likes of windows media player embed code etc.. Have a watch, and im sorry if you dont understand me. Jeffery over at nettuts, explains this so much better and in clearer English lol.
