Stopdesign introduces a see also section with links to useful examples and articles. We need more of these to create an easier way to drag up articles and tutorials that we see and pass on but then forget about. As more and more information appears on weblogs rather than centralised places, such as ALA , the number of links that must be stored increases immensely.


Bookmarks just don't cut it with the sheer amount of links that need to be stored somewhere. The amount of info a bookmark can store just isn't large enough to allow a search to effectively work right now, especially in IE where you can hardly store any additional info. A system the automatically reads the keywords from pages would be a start. Some learning based on previous searches would also go a long way towards making managing the link pile easier. Typing in "css box model" would pull up, say, five links to your favourite sites with "css box model" as keywords. Obviously this is just a very rough idea, but better ways to manage the volume of links and information available now online are sorely needed in the coming years.

Mezzoblue redesigns using XHTML and CSS. Yes, along with many others, we didn’t check the code of the old site and subconsciously assumed it was already CSS positioned. Slap on our wrists, indeed. Even nicer than before now, even so =)

Whilst we are at it, Modulo 26 is also a rather nice site. They’ve taken the brave step of using Times New Roman as their font. And it looks delectable indeed. A coincidence that Times New Roman was also talked about on another site just a little while back. Maybe it’s coming back into vogue again. With a little line-height CSS adjustment it looks rather nice.

Chatbox is having some problems right now and I can’t post things there. Right now, I’m not going to fix it because I think I should be moving servers soon. Exciting, as the scripting environment on this server is rather out of date. I need better regexp support for the plain text formatting to HTML code I’m trying to write. I hope the new server has this!

Eric Mayer provides some nice things to do with Gecko based browsers and XBL. I expecially like the pullquotes example.
