Our industry is in an ever-changing state. Sure, on the surface it doesn’t look like much changes, but that’s where you’d be wrong. You might find it hard to believe, but there are some developers that still use tables. There are some developers that use inline styles or refuse to use CSS at all. Why? [...]

Never Stop Learning
I <3 Google Chrome Frame
Google Chrome Frame is an early-stage open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome’s open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer. With Google Chrome Frame, you can:
Start using open web technologies – like the HTML5 canvas tag – right away, even technologies that aren’t yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, or [...]
SiteSprint – A launch in progress.
Well, I didn’t get everything implemented yet, but I at least wanted to get the homepage live by today. I had hoped to have more done by now but with everything I’ve got going on it just wasn’t going to happen. There is still a lot of cleanup work that still needs to be done. [...]

Greg Rewis is the Group Manager, Worldwide Creative Solutions Evangelism at Adobe. He came to speak to the Atlanta Web Design Group about becoming a Photoshop Bad Ass. This post is a collection of tweets along with links to help add greater understanding to what was being discussed before and during his talk. I hope [...]
Notes from Jeff Croft’s “Grids, CSS, Standards and Tomfoolery”
This is a collection of links and quotes from last night’s Atlanta Web Design Group meeting. Jeff Croft discussed “Grids, CSS, Standards and Tomfoolery”. While it’s hard to follow along without seeing his presentation, the links are in order from when they were mentioned. View slides here.
Again?
The Email Standards Project launched an impressive campaign via Twitter yesterday called “Fix Outlook“. As of this morning, over 21,000 people have chimed in and offered up their support. But Microsoft still doesn’t care. I say ’still’ because their decision to switch to using Word as the rendering engine for Outlook was isn’t new. (It [...]
Get found.
In the movie “Field of Dreams,” Kevin Costner’s character heard whispers of “Build it and they will come.” So, he constructed a baseball field in the middle of nowhere, and remarkably the unexpected happened: People came. With websites, getting people to show up to your ballpark requires a bit more effort.
There is often an expectation [...]
IE8 is here.
Windows Internet Explorer 8 is here. This is the first launch of IE that I’ve been excited about in a long time. Why? With full support for CSS 2.1, it’s now a standards-compliant browser. (It also supports CSS 3.0 in a limited capacity.) Sure, it’s now one more browser to account for, but if your [...]
Target Safari with CSS
I recently ran across an issue with relative positioning in Safari. Luckily for me (and you), Dustin Brewer found a way to get Safari to behave:
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
/* Add your Safari-specific styles here. */
}
Microformats
Last night I had the opportunity to talk about Microformats at the November RefreshAugusta meeting. To support the slides, I created a microsite with links to all of the sites mentioned in the slides. Hopefully you’ll find this useful. I’m also making the slides available for you to reuse/repurpose/remix under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike [...]
