Internet Explorer 7 fixed up? Nope.
posted in
Web Design
A recent post on the IE Blog seemed hopeful. They’ve made a lot of fixes recently. But reports from beta testers, found in the comments of the post, were discouraging, as what IE claimed to have fixed was still erratic and fundamentally broken, and there are still major parts of the CSS1 […]

Choosing an appropriate CMS
posted in
Web Design
Here’s a quick soliloquy on the virtues and values of various open-source CMS software packages, along with their downsides. This is not intended as a final say, or a one-size-fits-all guide to CMS’s. This is simply my experience and my personal choices. But I was explaining them to someone else the […]

Firefox wins at Circle Six!
posted in
Geekery
Based on my mint stats for the last 1000 some unique visitors, we’ve got 52% using Firefox and 24% using Explorer. I like my demographics! While I’ve admittedly gotten good at designing for Internet Explorer, and it takes me a lot less time to make things work, it still feels dirty to […]

The self-imposed limits of Web 2.0
posted in
General
The professed goal of Web 2.0 is to create a more desktop like interface for the web. So what possibilities and limitations does that impose on interface design using AJAX and web browsers? The obvious limitations are the standard conventions of the web. We have to have conveniences like obvious submit buttons on forms […]

posted in
Web Design
I have this dream of starting a new online forum/publication of my own. I want it to be about the dreamers who are taking the web to the next level. The people who don’t accept the reality that is 90% of the web, but are willing to make a difference in design […]

Browser wars tenfold.
posted in
General
I’m sure this subject has been broached many times, in many ways, but I need to have a go at it… I started working with web design in the early days of the Explorer/Netscape browser wars. Back then we got frustrated because both browsers kept pushing proprietary features that forced us to design two sites […]

What’s wrong with CRE Loaded?
posted in
Asides
Let me tell you what’s wrong with CRE Loaded: No separation of code and presentation layers. Too man classes, one for every little function. Too many files breaking up too much code and poor organization of file hierarchy. Annoying commenting and bizarre database structuring. It’s like they took the […]

Selling online bites.
posted in
General
Unless you’re Amazon, there doesn’t seem to be a great solution for e-commerce software. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t find a single standards compliant, easy-to-use, customizable shopping cart system anywhere. X-cart? OsCommerce? Bah. And the canned shopping carts are even worse. It’s driving me nuts. […]
