• 3.12.07 A VIRB Quickie posted in Web Design

  Not sure why I didn’t try it before, but here’s a quick tip. If you modify your HTML section on VIRB and hit preview, then save the source of the preview to a file, you can separate out the CSS and HTML for live editing in CSSEdit.

• 3.11.07 VIRB Customization Tips posted in Web Design

  I thought I’d jot down a few notes on my experiences with customizing VIRB pages for those with enough skill to pull it off on their own. This is NOT a CSS primer, I’m just some workflow tips I’ve picked up on the way. It’s all fairly obvious, but I thought it might help some aspiring designers who might be doing things the hard way. I just finished redesigning my own page after a sleepless night…

• 2.20.07 Virb Blurb posted in Geekery

  Thanks to Kristin Pishdadi, I’ve got an account on the beta site for virb.com. It’s a new social networking site. Yes, another social networking site. But I like this one because it has all the charm of Myspace, only they’ve turned the suck way, way down. A nice Ajaxified site with a far more usable interface, it’s got profiles, music, movies and all the usual jazz. Plus, they actually encourage CSS customization and make it very easy to do. You can even control the XHTML layout of the profile portion of the page. Great possibilities. I styled the default layout this evening just to see what I could do with it. I’ll probably have a lot of fun with it, especially if the site takes off. If anyone wants an invite, let me know, I have a few to give away (and I love having friends ;-)).

• 1.13.07 Until We Run Out Of Ink posted in Website Updates

  Amidst preparations for our planned expansion, client jobs and work on my next article, I realized that I had sorely neglected the print style sheets for the Circle Six Blog. So now if you decide to read any of the tutorials on this blog offline (heaven forbid you should waste the paper), you […]

• 1.9.07 Better CSS Debugging with OSX posted in Web Design

  CSS has never been the easiest part of web design. Browser inconsistencies, holes in the specs and some things that we just haven’t figured out how to do can leave a designer a little frustrated (and thinking about slicing up an image in Fireworks and building on of those table things). But […]

• 1.9.07 Props to the Galleries posted in Web Design

  I’d like to acknowledge and thank the CSS galleries that thought enough of the new design to feature it on their sites. I don’t usually make the rounds, but I liked this layout enough to give it a shot, and I’ve gotten a fairly heartwarming response. As usual, I’m already sick of […]

• 1.1.07 ModX Review posted in Web Design

  I always promise a post (I said I’d write a short TextMate tutorial), and then find something terribly exciting to write about before I get the intended post finished. And this one is exciting. If you’re using Joomla/Mambo and looking for an XHTML/CSS solution, read on. I had initially passed over the ModX CMS […]

  Based on feedback, questions and searches that have been coming into the blog, I’ve determined that a little more detail on a few topics is in order, so the following blog posts are in the works: Teach Yourself TextMate: MacHeist put a lot of copies of TextMate on the street, and people like me are spouting […]

• 12.1.06 Review: Transcending CSS posted in Web Design

  I just picked up “Trancending CSS, the fine art of web design” by Andy Clarke and edited by Molly E. Holzschlag. It’s amazing. This is one of my favorite CSS books to come out since “The Zen of CSS Design“, which quite literally changed the way I look at CSS layout and […]

• 11.6.06 News in brief posted in Web Design, Geekery

  I’ve added a couple of bugfixes to my recent releases. There was a span closing tag missing from the applescript for blogging quotes from your RSS Reader, and I added a version for NetNewsWire. There were a couple of bugs in the related post commands for TextMate which have been corrected. I’ve explored a […]
