Linking words help you to connect ideas and sentences, so that people can follow your ideas.
Giving examples
For example
For instance
Namely
The most common way of giving examples is by using for example or for instance.
Namely refers to something by name.
"There are two problems: namely, the expense and the time."
Adding information
And
In addition
As well as
Also
Too
Furthermore
Moreover
Apart from
In addition to
Besides
Ideas are often linked by and. In a list, you put a comma between each item, but not before and.
"We discussed training, education and the budget."
Also is used to add an extra idea or emphasis. "We also spoke about marketing."
You can use also with not only to give emphasis.
"We are concerned not only by the costs, but also by the competition."
We don't usually start a sentence with also. If you want to start a sentence with a phrase that means also, you can use In addition, or In addition to this…
As well as can be used at the beginning or the middle of a sentence.
"As well as the costs, we are concerned by the competition."
"We are interested in costs as well as the competition."
Too goes either at the end of the sentence, or after the subject and means as well.
"They were concerned too."
"I, too, was concerned."
Apart from and besides are often used to mean as well as, or in addition to.
"Apart from Rover, we are the largest sports car manufacturer."
"Besides Rover, we are the largest sports car manufacturer."
Moreover and furthermore add extra information to the point you are making.
"Marketing plans give us an idea of the potential market. Moreover, they tell us about the competition."
Summarising
In short
In brief
In summary
To summarise
In a nutshell
To conclude
In conclusion
We normally use these words at the beginning of the sentence to give a summary of what we have said or written.
Sequencing ideas
The former, … the latter
Firstly, secondly, finally
The first point is
Lastly
The following
The former and the latter are useful when you want to refer to one of two points.
"Marketing and finance are both covered in the course. The former is studied in the first term and the latter is studied in the final term."
Firstly, … secondly, … finally (or lastly) are useful ways to list ideas.
It's rare to use "fourthly", or "fifthly". Instead, try the first point, the second point, the third point and so on.
The following is a good way of starting a list.
"The following people have been chosen to go on the training course: N Peters, C Jones and A Owen."
Giving a reason
Due to / due to the fact that
Owing to / owing to the fact that
Because
Because of
Since
As
Due to and owing to must be followed by a noun.
"Due to the rise in oil prices, the inflation rate rose by 1.25%."
"Owing to the demand, we are unable to supply all items within 2 weeks."
If you want to follow these words with a clause (a subject, verb and object), you must follow the words with the fact that.
"Due to the fact that oil prices have risen, the inflation rate has gone up by 1%25."
"Owing to the fact that the workers have gone on strike, the company has been unable to fulfil all its orders."
Because / because of
Because of is followed by a noun.
"Because of bad weather, the football match was postponed."
Because can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. For example, "Because it was raining, the match was postponed."
"We believe in incentive schemes, because we want our employees to be more productive."
Since / as
Since and as mean because.
"Since the company is expanding, we need to hire more staff."
"As the company is expanding, we need to hire more staff."
Giving a result
Therefore
So
Consequently
This means that
As a result
Therefore, so, consequently and as a result are all used in a similar way.
"The company are expanding. Therefore / So / Consequently / As a result, they are taking on extra staff."
So is more informal.
Contrasting ideas
But
However
Although / even though
Despite / despite the fact that
In spite of / in spite of the fact that
Nevertheless
Nonetheless
While
Whereas
Unlike
In theory… in practice…
But is more informal than however. It is not normally used at the beginning of a sentence.
"He works hard, but he doesn't earn much."
"He works hard. However, he doesn't earn much."
Although, despite and in spite of introduce an idea of contrast. With these words, you must have two halves of a sentence.
"Although it was cold, she went out in shorts."
"In spite of the cold, she went out in shorts."
Despite and in spite of are used in the same way as due to and owing to. They must be followed by a noun. If you want to follow them with a noun and a verb, you must use the fact that.
"Despite the fact that the company was doing badly, they took on extra employees."
Nevertheless and nonetheless mean in spite of that or anyway.
"The sea was cold, but he went swimming nevertheless." (In spite of the fact that it was cold.)
"The company is doing well. Nonetheless, they aren't going to expand this year."
While, whereas and unlike are used to show how two things are different from each other.
"While my sister has blue eyes, mine are brown."
"Taxes have gone up, whereas social security contributions have gone down."
"Unlike in the UK, the USA has cheap petrol."
In theory… in practice… show an unexpected result.
"In theory, teachers should prepare for lessons, but in practice, they often don't have enough time."
xBrowser Fonts

For years, web designers and bloggers have been limited to a select number of "web-safe" fonts. With the Jun 30th release of FireFox 3.5, it's now possible for cross-browser font embedding using the CSS3 @font-face selector. Here's a tutorial to show you how

В 1966 году отставной майор британской армии Пэдди Рой Бэйтс самовольно завладел заброшенной военной платформой Рафс–Тауэр, которая находилась за пределами британских территориальных вод, объявил о создании суверенного государства Силенд и провозгласил себя князем Роем I. Через 2 года британские власти попытались оккупировать молодое государство. К платформе подошли патрульные катера, и княжеская семья ответила предупредительными выстрелами в воздух. В ходе судебного процесса по этому поводу против Бэйтса как британского гражданина судья признал, что дело находится вне британской юрисдикции. Сейчас Силенд имеет свои флаг, герб, конституцию, монеты, почтовые марки, но не признан ни одним другим государством.
Треугольник Рело — это геометрическая фигура, образованная пересечением трёх равных кругов радиуса a с центрами в вершинах равностороннего треугольника со стороной a. Сверло, сделанное на основе треугольника Рело, позволяет сверлить квадратные отверстия.

PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser
Wrapper is a cross-browser compliant HTML/CSS rendering engine written in ActionScript that sits on top of your standards compliant HTML page. Wrapper eliminates cross-browser issues and makes integrating ActionScript and HTML/CSS projects possible without needing to compile.
Wrappers strives to answer the most common problems web designers face without forcing them to learn too many new things. Most web sites can be created in HTML or CSS, then when you need to extend Wrapper's capabilities you can either use JSON to call functions within ActionScript or you can load compiled plug-ins. Wrapper also has built in methods within CSS to load custom fonts, display elements as any shape, and fill them with linear or radial gradient background colors. ActionScript's event model is also implemented within Wrapper's HTML. Wrapper's best features are the ones that you get for free because of how it is set up. It's like getting all the great features of the Flash Player without needing to deal with compiling and being able to create your content the same way any HTML page would be created. Wrapper is fully accessible to the search engines and integrates well with any back-end technology.
AS3 HTML Parser Library:
This project is an AS3 HTML parser and renderer to replace the simple htmlString support in some elements. Compatible with Flex 3, written using the MPL version of the Flex 3 SDK. The parser is simple and expects limited HTML errors. The renderer mocks the presentation of Firefox 3 but allows for each element type's rendering to be overridden. The project is self-contained (requires nothing but the Flex 3 SDK to compile). It currently supports most elements (including img, span, div) and is approximately 70% accurate with more changes to come.
The project is offered free under the BSD license though donations are encouraged.
This project is intended for SWF web applications. People building AIR applications can use this project or the built-in HTML facilities.
Why this project over others?
1. This project contains an HTML parser:
Other projects rely on AS3 XML parsing facilities which works for XHTML but won't work for code such as (because the img tag is not closed according to XML parsers):

This also means this project can accept HTML output directly for WYSIWYG editors such as FCK or tinyMCE. In fact, the project was built around this use case.
2. This project uses 100% flash:
Other projects require browser interaction (either Javascript or IFrames). This project renders the HTML using entirely AS3 objects and will work even if using allowScriptAccess=never (as is forced by sites like Facebook).
3. The license:
This project is offered 100% free for all uses. Simply maintain the authorship messages in each file.
4. Compact:
This project only adds ~30KB to a compiled SWF file.
Performance:
Parsing: Simple html fragments (about 10 elements) parses in ~6ms. Larger HTML fragments (containing 100 or more elements) parses in ~50ms.
Rendering: Simple html fragments (about 10 elements) renders in ~60ms. Larger HTML fragments (containing 100 or more elements) parses in ~250ms.
