• 11.7.07 Safari (my new crush) posted in Web Design, Geekery

  Besides being enamored with all things Leopard, I’ve developed an intense and burning love for Safari. With a couple of exceptional plugins, it’s become my general web browser of choice. The powerhouse that is Firefox+addons may still be hard to leave behind for webdev, but for beauty, ease of use and overall integration (and awesome applescripting), Safari is definitely my new top choice…

  Just a quick note to let everyone know that the support at Crazy Egg is amazing. What few problems I’ve had with their supercool service have been responded to by the developer immediately and with enthusiasm. And I haven’t even paid for the service yet, I’m still on the free plan! […]

• 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 […]

• 8.20.06 Building a coffeehouse from WordPress posted in Web Design, Geekery

  I’ve recently discovered that it’s relatively simple to turn WordPress into a CMS using basic Template Tags and page templates. This isn’t new information by any means, and is something WordPress was meant to be able to do. But I’m planning to strip down and package my source files when I’m finished […]

• 8.19.06 AJAX Contact Form bugs fixed posted in Geekery

  Thanks to the bug reports of a couple of users, I found some mistakes in the PHP for the AJAX contact form. I had to remove Bad Behavior from the distribution as it was causing problems with PHP5. If you use the distro, you might want to run Bad Behavior externally to […]

  My crowning acheivement for the day. Something none of you can see, but it makes my blog so much cooler. I can now edit the tags for each post inline when viewing my blog while logged in as admin (AJAX at work!). It wasn’t working and there wasn’t a solution on […]

• 6.29.06 Accessibility posted in General

  Our site was suffering from some major accessibility issues: browsers without javascript couldn’t access the text content in the sliding panes, screen readers ignored the entire sliding pane section, etc.  A little DOM javascript in the header fixed the problem for us, creating a readable page first and then adding styles to the appropriate […]
