- Button Maker
- This post is mostly just for my own “bookmarking” purposes—I used this before and it took me a while to find it again, so I figured I’d make sure I had it. This Button Maker is an interface to Bill Zeller’s button generator. It’s one... full entry
- Worst… Website.. Ever…
- I’m going to one-up you on the “sucky sites” thing, Derek. Behold the absolute horror that is… JeffJet! Davezilla calls it the worst website ever created, and I’m not inclined to disagree. It’s horrid. I had to go wash my eyes out with pure alcohol... full entry
- I told you not to use plug-ins
- Well, Microsoft has lost it’s suit with Eolas regarding details as to how plug-ins functioned with the so-called “browser”, Internet Explorer. What this means is that Microsoft will now be court ordered to revise the way their browser deals with plug-ins. So all of you... full entry
- Viva la Navilucion!
- Or...maybe not. this simple demo illustrates some of the ways that zooming solves the navigation problems posed by our present system of links, tabs, and other click-and-go-there interfaces This is the statement made by the development “team”, a.k.a. Jef Raskin, at the THE ZUI project.... full entry
- Keeping Your Content from Being Blocked
- I don’t get a chance to visit it very often, but since I’ve started my own Sites that Suck commentaries, I figured I had better pop over to webpagesthatsuck.com and go through their Daily Sucker entries and make sure that I don’t dupe anything that... full entry
- Sucky Sites - stouse.com
- In the wonderful tradition of webpagesthatsuck.com, I plan on a regular entry, at least weekly of my own picks of Sucky Web Sites. The criteria? First, the web page has to suck, and I will give tangible reasons why. Second, personal sites are off limits.... full entry

- XHTML, CSS, Validation, Accessibility, etc.
- It’s been ages since there was one of “my type” of articles over on Dive Into Mark that I felt was worth linking to. Well, today he put up a nice piece that touches on :XHTML:, :CSS:, Validation, and Accessibility (among many other things). I... full entry
- The “Perfect” Pop-up?
- Since the beloved Soopa-Pop script that I’ve been using to make accessible pop-ups doesn’t validate as XHTML (it has equal signs in the target attribute, and the target attribute isn’t valid in XHTML Strict, for that matter), I decided to go Google searching for a... full entry
- Time for some Web Development
- It’s been far too long since I posted anything about web development. Not all of you care, but it’s something I’m interested in and I’ve been neglecting it too long. So, to start Jason Kottke recently posted a piece that discusses standards and semantics. Specifically... full entry

- Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues
- Evolt has a very intriguing article up about the new browser wars. Or rather, “Browser Wars II”. The first Browser War was, of course, Netscape vs. :IE: and we all know how that ended: IE trounced Netscape and eventually we all came to be grateful... full entry

- BrowserCam
- I heard about this shortly after it launched last December, but I guess I never quite understood exactly what it did. Whatever the case, I never actually looked in to it. More’s the pity in this case. BrowserCam is a fantastic resource for web developers.... full entry
- PHP Form Validation
- Evolt had an article a while back about form validation in PHP. I read it at the time and it was okay, but didn’t really seem like anything new to me. Simon Willison has been working on a bit of a different approach that looks... full entry
- Microsoft: Screw the Consumer
- Jeffery Zeldman talks a bit about how Microsoft’s recent actions simply support the common view that MS will do anything and everything it can get away with, cares not about being a monopoly, and has no compunction with screwing everyone else. Big surprise, right? Case... full entry
- A Design Process Revealed
- Obviously, I do a fair bit of web development. I’m pretty comfortable with XHTML, CSS, and other web-related technologies. But design is a lot tougher. For individuals who are neither designers nor artists, it may seem like those who are, use a lot of smoke... full entry
- IE, Mozilla, and the Future
- Microsoft has now announced that there will be no new stand-alone versions of IE and that the next update will be bundled with the next OS: “Longhorn”. Understandably, this was both a fairly low-key announcement and has also caused quite a stir in the web... full entry

- “I Blame Microsoft”
- He’s right, it does feel good putting that as a headline… [grin] Anyway, ongoing put up a nice, short article talking about how CSS is like rocket science, or at least should be. In the good way, not in the hard-to-understand way. Mostly, though, it... full entry
- PhotoPal 1.0 Beta released
- Found this on web-graphics.com… PhotoPal is a photo gallery system. From the site: PhotoPal is an image organization system featuring template driven layout, automatic thumbnail creation, RSS feeds, picture level EXIF date extraction, and picture level descriptions, all without the need for an SQL like... full entry

- CMSimple
- This is really just a quick note / reminder / suggestion / whatever for myself. I’ve been looking for a suitable CMS for another project and came across CMSimple today. Haven’t figured a whole lot out about it, but it looks intriguing. Definitely have to... full entry
- What XHTML 2 Means to Us
- I don’t always agree with everything Jeffery Zeldman says, but I definitely respect that he’s an authority on many web-related things and that a vast majority of what he says is spot on. Take, for instance, his recent posting about XHTML 2. He explains how... full entry

- Color Harmonies
- Here’s a cool little tool to help you determine complimentary colors to one that you specify. Specifically, “create color harmonies, combinations and themes.” Of course, this can’t replace your own critical and well-trained eye (insert laughter if referring to me), but it can definitely work... full entry
