The Bandwagon Fallacy Etymology: The name "bandwagon fallacy" comes from the phrase "jump on the bandwagon" or "climb on the bandwagon", a bandwagon being a wagon big enough to hold a band of musicians. In past political campaigns, candidates would ride a bandwagon through town, and people would show support for the candidate by climbing aboard the wagon. Alias: Appeal to Popularity Argument by Consensus Argumentum ad Populum Authority of the Many Form: Idea I is popular. Example: Everyone is selfish; everyone is doing what he believes will make himself happier. Source: Harry Browne, "The Unselfishness Trap", from How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World (1973). Exposition: The Bandwagon Fallacy is committed whenever one argues for an idea based upon an irrelevant appeal to its popularity. Exposure: Advertising is a rich source of Bandwagon arguments, with many products claiming to be "number 1" or "most popular", even though this is irrelevant to the product's merits. A: Your latter suggestion is on the right track.

Coding Up a Web Design Concept into HTML & CSS I’ve recently been working on a design concept for a WordPress theme as part of a personal project. In this walkthrough we’ll go through the process of converting the design concept from PSD document right through to completed HTML and CSS mockup, complete with clean and valid code, a few touches of CSS3 and some quick fixes to help out old IE6. The design we’ll be coding up is this WordPress theme concept I’m currently working on as part of a personal project. The design features a clean grey background, but with splashes of vibrant colour in the header, and throughout the page with links and buttons taking bright colour swatches from the main illustration.
