• 8.13.06 AJAX: The argument for standards posted in Web Design

  Some of the reading I’ve been doing lately has made me realize something I had taken for granted. AJAX couldn’t exist without the standards that I’m always going on about. AJAX calls depend on CSS classes and ID’s to make changes to the structure of a webpage. That’s the entire idea […]

• 8.11.06 Web-volution, the broken link. 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 […]

• 8.9.06 How important is validation? posted in Web Design

  I have a confession to make. While I work hard to make my businesses homepage validate, and I try to keep my smaller sites validated, I let it slide on bigger sites. And I let warnings pile up. And I started wondering if I was alone… This post on boompa.com seemed to validate […]

• 8.5.06 How’d I miss that? posted in Asides

  Somehow I missed this post 3 months ago on Shaun Inman’s blog. It’s an update to his original article on using a dash of javascript to clear absolutely positioned divs. It’s a step towards bringing standards based design into the realm of table-like control with the flexibility that we’ve come to love […]

• 6.23.06 Validated. Emotionally and via the W3C. posted in Website Updates

  Our current homepage is validated, XHTML and CSS. For those who don’t know, that simply means we took the time (and tears) to create a page that meets the W3C standards for web design. This can do everything from improve cross-browser consistency to help search engine placement. And it translates […]
