• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• 9.10.06 A legal precedent for standards and semantics posted in Web Design

  Finally something interesting filtered through to me today… Target corp. got sued by groups representing the visually-impaired community and their right to sue was upheld by the court. I’ve been whining for quite a while about the need for accessibility on the web. Even if every site isn’t built around screen readers, […]

• 9.4.06 Website as DNA posted in Web Design

  There’s a fun new website up at http://www.baekdal.com/web2dna/. It takes a given website and converts it to human DNA, the brightness and density based on the markup. The more keywords and the more semantic the markup is, the brighter and denser the map. The image included in this post is from […]

• 9.1.06 IE Developer Center Redesign: still a table. posted in Web Design

  Microsoft just announced a redesign of their Internet Explorer Developer Center on the IEblog. So I checked it out. You would think, with all of their supposed attention to CSS and standards compliance on IE7 that they would have paid a little attention to either one when putting a redesign of their […]

• 8.28.06 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 […]

• 8.27.06 Higher Learning and Web Standards. posted in Web Design

  The Minneapolis College of Art and Design homepage is entirely CSS P and standards compliant! This discovery was the result of curiosity sparked over my weekend there… I was a graduate of the Interactive Media program and in 2000 when I graduated, we had all been taught table-based layout. So I wondered […]

• 8.24.06 A quick one posted in Geekery, Random Thoughts

  I’m very intrigued by Expanse, a new CMS on the market that seems to promise standards based content management with AJAX functionality. It may be a dream come true for my clients. It looks to have all of the simplicity of Wordpress with more out-of-the-box functionality. I don’t think it will […]

• 8.22.06 More IE7 ranting… posted in Web Design, Geekery

  So, despite some retractions and an updated post from Paul Thurrott, I still have this burning question: “Why do we need Internet Explorer 7?” The major reason for the release, according to Bill Gates keynote and the IE Blog is security, security, security. But they keep responding to questions about standards by […]

• 8.22.06 Bad-web-design-hydra sprouts new head posted in Web Design

  There have been posters put up around my city touting web-pages for $50. They come from a Wisconsin based web design “company” called Bat Cave Productions. They should have stayed in their cave, along with the TemplateMonster templates that they’re reselling. This kind of poor web design, with no regards for standards or originality […]
