  • 6.1.07 Semantic Details posted in Web Design

    When we did our Circle Six redesign, it was important to me that we go out of our way to make this our most semantic and accessible site yet. Clean, semantic code was the goal, and here are some details that we considered that you may want to keep in mind for your next project…

  • 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 […]

  • 1.3.07 My take on the Wordpress Rich Text Editor posted in Web Design, Geekery

    I post to Wordpress from TextMate, but I make a lot of sites for clients using Wordpress and for them, this isn’t an option. The built in Wordpress Rich Text editor is actually one of the better solutions I’ve found for my clients. I’ve tried quite a few options, but my goal […]

  • 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 […]

  • 12.25.06 Wordpress Theme Development Workflow for OSX posted in Web Design

    Having spit out several Wordpress custom sites in the last few days, I thought I’d detail my current workflow on my Macintosh OSX platform for posterity. It’s changed a little since the last time I wrote about it, and I feel like it’s at a point where, with some minor tweaking and a […]

  • 12.17.06 Happy Holidays from Circle Six Design posted in Circle Six Happenings

    Now that it’s been sent to all of our clients, I thought I’d share the joy with all of our friends. Here’s our Holiday Greeting Card, straight from the heart of Circle Six Design. A soundtrack by Randy and graphics by Brett, all coded in delicious XHTML and CSS with unobtrusive Javascript […]

  • 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 […]

  • 10.19.06 The evolution of the web designer posted in Web Design

    I used to think I was special. I had both creativity and technical skills with computers. I saw in the workplace that creatives were hired to design, geeks were hired to program, and communication conflicts between the two often led to design disasters. I felt that my left brain/right brain balance […]

  • 10.4.06 TextMate and Wordpress Theme Development posted in Web Design, Geekery

    I just finished developing a full Wordpress theme using TextMate and other OS X specific tools, and thought I would document the process. I know it’s not news to everybody, but there are a few people that have expressed interest in this project… My goal has been to replace Dreamweaver without giving […]

  • 9.12.06 Home(page) improvement posted in Website Updates

    I fixed up the homepage a little bit. It matches the aesthetic for the blog now. I’d like to eventually incorporate the two under the same address, but I’ve got so much traffic coming in from Google I’m afraid to make any major changes to the subdomain structure. I should have […]
