A List Apart: Practical CSS
A List Apart: Practical CSS Layout Tips, Tricks and Techniques. A great article with some really USEFUL CSS tips. I’ve been trying to transition (yes, I know, it’s marketing speak) to using CSS layout for most of my sites. I’m definitely using CSS-P here and on the FDGC.org site. However, at work, I still have to deal with the bad, bad, bad Netscape 4.x, since (at last check) it still represented about 11% of our viewers (along with a smattering of other non-CSS browsers, for a total non-CSS viewership of about 18% or so).
The Industry Standard Suspends Publication:
The Industry Standard Suspends Publication: wow. I never really thought this would happen. They have a long list of articles about their own downfall on the last of Jimmy Guterman’s Media Grok pages. I enjoyed the Standard, but I saw the slide from a weekly 100+ page magazine to a 64 page (I think) version the last time I saw it. I was even a paid subscriber for a few months. Another irony: when you hit their site, you get a “Subscribe Now!” popup ad. R.I.P.
Hobbits in Kazahkstan?: apparently, people
Hobbits in Kazahkstan?: apparently, people dress up and live as hobbits. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad life, mind you, if you’re in Middle Earth, but I’m not so sure about 21st century Kazahkstan.(the link leads to NPR’s site, where you can listen to the story, which is actually more about human rights and the marginalization — and abuse — of people in “alternative” lifestyles, including the wannabe hobbits).
Whoops. There was an error
Whoops. There was an error in my permalink code. I’m serving the archive contents as includes to the main page (the main blog is an include, too) via PHP, so that the archives use the same basic template as the current stuff. I didn’t correct my permalink link to reflect that change, though, so it was 404ing. Fixed.
