China’s population of internet users – the world’s largest at 538 million – have become increasingly vocal on its booming social media sites despite the efforts of the ruling party’s highly secretive Propaganda Department. In China, Twitter itself is blocked but “weibos”, or microblogging sites, function in a similar way, and authorities tightened their suppression efforts for the ruling party’s pivotal congress in Beijing this week.

Elements of Great Web Design: The Polish
When I put together designs, I usually do so in two phases - Layout and Polish. During the layout phase, I place the main objects on the page usually finishing with something that looks relatively complete. In the second stage - the Polish - I go over the design and adjust colors, type treatments, shadows, layers, and generally clean it all up.
