After starting a new job where I was hired to program an online photo uploading and e-commerce site, I figured it was time to learn to program in PHP. So I got a book and read it for a couple of weeks and then pieced the site together. I’m sure I made hundreds of mistakes, […]
I’ve just installed the CloseComments plugin for Movable Type on my blog. It will now automatically close comments on entries that haven’t been commented on in 15 days. I don’t get a lot of comments on this site, especially on older entries, so the vast majority of comments that I do get are comment spam […]
I have all but decided not to use CSS for layouts for the next few years until IE gets its act together and actually supports half the things that other browsers like Firefox and Safari have supported for years.
Over the past couple of years I’ve tried to learn as much about web standards and CSS […]
The site I’ve been working on in my spare time for the past month or so is just about finished (only needs a few more tweaks) so I’m going to go ahead and post it here.

I was recently browsing Amazon to see if there was a new book out in the series that my wife has read since she was a kid and still collects, but couldn’t remember which one she got last. So I just started browsing the most recent ones in the collection, and noticed a message up […]
Here is my vote for the Version 2 redesign competition.
Bright Corner
This is by far the best in my opinion, no contest. Many of the entries were very pretty graphically, but they basically put a new face on the old site. The didn’t adjust much of the wording, site architecture, etc. They just put pretty graphics […]
The entries are in for the February Version 2 redesign contest. The contest is to redesign a site every month using CSS and xHTML. February’s site was Project Gutenberg, the online e-library.
There are a few nice entries, but I will reserve my vote until Monday when voting is enabled after Paul gets everything straightened out.
Head […]
Bruce Tognazzini lists 10 Reasons to Not Shop Online on his personal site. I agree with some of the points he makes, but he seems to just be complaining about a few experiences he had at a few online stores.
