Last night, I finished integrating my entire site into Wordpress. It took a little while, but I’ve finally got all of my content migrated. Of course if you are reading this in your feed reader, it’s going to say that all of the feeds are new…but they are not. Hopefully soon I will write more about the process of powering a whole site with Wordpress.

Busy, busy weekend. I didn’t get a chance to write this on Friday, so I'll get right to it. This is what entertained me this week: Accessible can be Beautiful There is no reason for people to not make a site accessible. So make it happen people. Evolve Your User Interface To Educate Your Users I love those little tips like these examples when you are using a well designed web application. Browse…

I cannot wait until Tuesday. I have been talking for about 2 years now about getting an Apple laptop, and I think the time has finally come. Depending on what is announced at MacWorld on Tuesday, I will most likely be ordering a brand spanking new Macbook on Wednesday. I'm so excited, that I feel like a little kid on Christmas. Ok, well I guess here is the stuff that I found interesting this week…

As I have noted in previous posts: Using Dean Edwards’ IE7 Script, The Ultimate PNG Guide, I am a big advocate of the Dean Edwards’ IE7 scripts. Thankfully, Dean has improved them even more. Instead of having a ton of different JavaScript files with large file sizes, he has compressed them into two light-weight JavaScript files. The are now two scripts, IE7.js and IE8.js, and they are hosted on…

I’m glad this week is over. You know, it really didn’t feel like a short week, I guess it’s because I worked on Monday. Well here are the interesting links I found: Edit area Really cool JavaScript that formats code. I could really use this as I am typing this post. I hate not being able to indent my list items. Check out the demonstration. Reflections of an Interface Designer Really good refle…

I had to go to the FedEx website to track a package this week, and I was pretty disappointed. While, I was able to track my package, I was surprised to see that the little tracking box was built in Flash. You can see the exact box that I am talking about in the image that follows. So I thought, whatever it’s done in Flash, I’m sure they have an HTML equivalent if someone does not have the Flash p…

Well, I hope everyone had a nice holiday break. I only worked 2 days this week, and there weren’t many good links that I could find since most people were enjoying the holidays. I have finally recovered from my busy week at work, and I only have the last 15 days of 24 Ways to read. I think I’m going to cherish them though, since we have to wait a whole year for it again. Anyways, these are the in…

I would say one of the coolest things in web development/design is the creative use of PNGs. Although, it’s a little hard because of the way that IE6 handles them. I have already written about Using Dean Edwards’ IE7 Script, but I wanted to take it a step further and talk more about PNGs. To Review First, download the Dean Edwards script. Next, extract the files to the root of your webserver…

Damn I have been busy! So I missed a week of the weekly link round-up. Last weekend I had 2 holiday parties to go to, football to watch, and Christmas presents to buy. Not only that, but I have been extremely busy with freelance work and work at my full time job. So busy that I had well over 200 feeds to read! So after a quick skim of my feeds, this is what I found link worthy in the past 2 weeks.…

Yeah, so I didn’t get a chance to post last night because I was at the Wizards game. I’ve still got some clean-up to do on the redesign, which I hope to take care of this weekend. Here is what I found interesting this week. 24 Ways It’s that time of the year again, 24 Ways to Impress Your Friends, already on day 8! If you haven’t read the previous years, I would definitely recommend doing it Fl…
