Farewell, Old Site
Seeing as how the site was redesigned, I figured it might be good to be able to compare the new version to the old.  So, here’s a quick screenshot of the front page of the previous design. Yeah, that old design was really getting pretty... full entry

Last year (in fact, one year ago today; which, I guess, means I was way late last year, too) I posted about a site doing a sort of “advent calendar” for web development topics.  Well, the site is back again this year and so you... full entry

Running Multiple IE Versions
My last post mentioned that Firefox 2 is now out, but that’s actually not the only big browser release that’s happened recently.  In fact, Internet Explorer 7 is now out and available.  In most web development circles, Internet Explorer is almost despised for it’s rendering... full entry
