RasterWeb!Well, we’re part way into the CSS redesign, and here’s what we’ve got so far… Minimal testing outside of Gecko-based browsers, expect some breakage…
I figured that getting this up was Step #1, and it would force me to follow up with Step #2, and so on…
So stay tuned…
I very much liked reading Mark’s piece on Club vs. Lojack solutions in regards to Blog/Spam. I will call it thought provoking, because I ended up thinking about it quite a bit. About possible solutions, and whether they were really good clubs, or so-so lowjack type ideas… I thought to myself, hmmm, maybe I should write up some ideas, but then decided not to as I was much too tired, and that probably affected my thought process, though who knows? Maybe I did have a solution. I suppose you could do what I do on my Contact page. I have a drop down menu with various subjects, and one of the choices is Spam. Maybe we need some sort of User Agreement on comment posting forms, a checkbox that says ‘I Hereby Certify that I am NOT a Spammer’ yeah, that should do it…
There’s this radio commercial for some career advancement thing that goes like this “Dude, is your career getting, ya know, jiggy!” Now, I’m not truly hep like the kids, but I thought ‘jiggy’ was a good thing. In this context it appears to be a bad thing. I tried checking with the online dictionaries, but they don’t seem to recognize ‘jiggy’ as a word. Luckily there’s a Jiggy FAQ, where we learn that:
Defining Jiggy is like trying to can sunshine; it cannot be done. It has no definition, it just exists.
I hope that clears everything up…
Apple doc offer details on CSS bugs in IE. Of course we use Mozilla ’round these parts…
Redesign? Maybe this time I really will follow through… See, back around the start of 2002 I worked on re-working this site to not use tables for layout purposes, going to strictly CSS based control for layout, and I did pretty much rebuild things as needed, but I never completed the job. I think now I’ll do that. It seems like a good time… I’ll be over at Blue Robot’s Layout Reservoir or glish.com’s CSS Layout Techniques if you need me…
Oh, with the redesign we’ll probably add the ability to have descriptions in the RSS feed, and link to individual items… depending on how ambitious I actually get…
